I expect outrage from Mayo men all over the world, especially in Mayo.

You really are overly obsessed with Mayo Slattsy, we'll take it as a compliment.;).

Good convincing win today by Cuala. Should be a humdinger against Ballyhea in a few weeks.

ProudDUB

Back slider. Bow your head....

ProudDUB

Oh, if you REALLY want to know all the gory details of what direction I have been bowing my head in of late, I'll tell you. But don't say you weren't warned.

Really gutted to be missing this. Excited to see how Scully gets on, in the Donegal bear pit. Gavin has often referred to the draw we eeked out in Ballybofey back in 2013, as being a pivotal game in the genesis of his teams success. We usually stay over for a few days afterwards too. It's deadly exploring that part of the world....real Lord of The Rings vibe to it.

Is that a BEER KEG propping open the door of the Donegal dressing room? :eek:

ROTFL !!!

What's propping open ours....Sam?

Ok Niall Scully. Justify my first goalscorer love.

Ronan Raver77

My mate loves this ref and took to twitter last year.... Ref's Daughter was replying back protecting Daddy..Anyway the pitch is in a right jock...

Bloody hell. OUt of nowhere.

Ronan Raver77

two goals out of nothing...was only telling a mate they have everyone behind the ball:(

CurryFlavoured

God, we should be 5-10 points up, then we concede 2 stupid goals. Awful defending.

ProudDUB

Uh oh !

What is this....Dublin v Kerry all over again?

Dean Rock having a mare.

Is he kicking into a strong wind? It's hard to tell, from the tellybox.

Bret Hart

3 awful goals given away now in the past two games.

Doesn't look like it. Pitch is cutting up yes but he's getting nothing on his kicks.

Need a serious kick in the hole.

Donal55

Dublin with the wind in the second half. I hope they come flying out of the blocks and stop doing an Arsenal in trying to walk the ball into the back of the net.

Noticed that too, we were passing on so many kicking opportunities. Our goal kicking was awful when we decided to have a go too though.

Ronan Raver77

35% Possession and they got two goals out of nothing..Onwards to the second half..

That_Guy

Getting fairly ripped apart in midfield a la Tyrone. Worrying.

Exactly. Half back and full back line seem unable to cope when forwards run straight down the middle at them.

That_Guy

Glare making it difficult to see.

That_Guy

Of course Scully scores now. :pac:

ProudDUB

BEE-YOOT-E-FULL Goal !!!!

Donal55

In the words of the great Jim Gavin they're sticking to the process, but Jeez it's getting painful to watch now.

jive

Dublins main (perhaps only!) weakness rearing its head again there, Cluxton competing for a long ball.

ProudDUB

Was just about to say that Jim Gavin doesn't look a happy camper on the sideline....but then I remembered that Jim Gavin, never looks a happy camper on the sideline, even when his lads are marching up the steps of the Hogan Stand to collect silverware....so I'll just shurrup so.

That_Guy

Soft as fúck free.

Yeh if you were blowing up for that consistently there'd be a free every 20 secs

This ref.

I can't understand how that was a free

Donal55

Blessed to get outta there with a point today. Could so easily have lost due to arsing around.

dublincelt

Worst last two minutes of refereeing I have ever seen.

That_Guy

I know we got a soft free against Tyrone to level the game but jesus lads. Pathetic officiating.

ProudDUB

Not the worst result in the world. Lots to work on - and to think about - for Jim Gavin. Can't really see us finishing in the top 2 & making another final...not with two draws on the trot. Oh well....

Kerry lost at home to Monaghan today so a draw today isn't the end of the world.

Lots of first team players not starting today. I thought a part from a minute of madness in the first half we dominated the game.

McMahon to O'Gara is definitely a tactic in the league this year and it hasn't really worked yet.

Fenton's record still in tact.

The referee got tired towards the end and started making mistakes that cost Dublin that game. It's also not the first time that has happened this year (talking about referees in general).

Thought the Dubs got 2 soft frees at the start of second half and yes, the last free was a brutal call alright.

Ronan Raver77

Anybody know what the yellow card was early in the first half? Looked like donegal player had his hand planted in a "Carthy i think" face when he was on the ground.

The Donegal player had McHugh's face buried into the ground and yet when he pulled the man off him he got the yellow card!

Yeah, McHugh had blood dripping down his nose as well. A weird one alright.

Bonniedog

McHugh was held down, punched in the face, had blood running from his nose and got a yellow!

No wonder he fkn looked puzzled. That ref should not be let near a fkn cluedo game. Not first time he has done us over either..

Ah Dublin were in second gear until Donegal got those two goals.

I think if Dublin really needed to win that game they would have.

Slattsy

****ing hell, that's the softest free I've ever seen given.
