Gaelic football is an awful spectacle. Keep possession has ruined it for years. So much more enjoyable 1990-2005 when teams only thought of going forward.

Ya can see Donegal winning this one Derry not putting enough distance in it

sligeach · 29-05-2022 5:05pm

That's the first time Donegal have been in the lead. Commentators didn't pick up on that.

People like yourself complained all during that time that the handpassing, hard running game started by down in 1991 was apparently the death of gaelic football.

The possession game you complain about now is just another evolution, no need to get your knickers in a twist

Yeah all this thing of "not in our culture" is shite, they say nothing when subs come in and start shouldering and pulling the opposition. "X and Y are getting to know each other already"

Pussyhands · 29-05-2022 5:13pm

Eamon Ryan must be loving this with the amount of recycling of the ball going on

kirk. · 29-05-2022 5:13pm

2 bang average teams

Donegal very ponderous in the middle of the field there's no goalposts there

keeponhurling · 29-05-2022 5:14pm

Referee is quite fussy and by the book, especially for an Ulster final.

he’s consistent though, same for both teams

I never complained then. And this is shite between the scores. The kids go out and play in the garden, won't watch it.

Evolution isn't all its cracked up to be. At least when we were monkeys we didn't destroy the planet or have the threat of destroying ourselves with nuclear war.

It's a slow meandering poor spectacle.

kirk. · 29-05-2022 5:16pm

Derry just a hype machine if they can't do the business here

Its just anti ulster, partionist, rte crap. They're always trying to denigrate ulster gaa. Hence their treatment of mickey harte following his daughters murder. Cantwell opened her half time speil by sayings "its not much of a spectacle".

Joanne no such issue with the one sided crap that was the munster and leinster finals of course.

keeponhurling · 29-05-2022 5:18pm

Entertaining stuff now, Derry hanging well in there

kirk. · 29-05-2022 5:20pm

Donegal spend more time going backwards than they do forwards

kirk. · 29-05-2022 5:26pm

I'm seeing Donegal goals in my crystal ball here

kirk. · 29-05-2022 5:28pm

Donegal going full basketball mode

Kindly get back to match stuff rather than the personal stuff.

In the main competitive games between teams in Gaelic football are very entertaining to watch.

Donegal games can often be an exception to that, they do have a very negative side.

In their defence, they are one of the top teams in the country and that style is effective, just not overly pretty.

Juwwi · 29-05-2022 5:30pm

Donegal are an awlful team to watch ,imagine paying in to watch this rubbish

Say Your Number · 29-05-2022 5:32pm

Marty keeping an eye on this thread?

ArnoldJRimmer · 29-05-2022 5:33pm

This ref is an absolute joke, that was a throw ball. And after incorrectly giving a pick off the ground a minute before

i was just about to say Marty calling Ulster final brutal and poor…

McStay wants rule changes with all the hand passing.

I have to wonder what they were expecting.

Bitter ulster stuff. The game is rubbish.

Say Your Number · 29-05-2022 5:34pm

In spite of how afraid both sides seem to be going forward, it is a fairly high scoring match.

kirk. · 29-05-2022 5:34pm

Very meh game overall

Derry disappointing today and Donegal a boring team

Meath ladies play similar even more defensive. But they get praised to the hilt. Personally I think a team should vary their style and not just have - plan A and no plan B.

MayoSalmon · 29-05-2022 5:42pm

Simple bloody idea....stop allowing passing back to the goalkeeper after the kick out.

The whole numbers thing is ridiculous when the pitch is so big.

kirk. · 29-05-2022 5:43pm

Jaysus did either team want to win that game at all or just not want to lose it

Very conservative management there

dobman88 · 29-05-2022 5:43pm

Wish BBC got more games. Their coverage of Ulster is unrivalled. The host asks a question and let's the 3 boys have at it. When I watch a game on RTE, I use the half time break to make a cuppa or browse online but find myself watching the BBC half time with interest.

Thats fine you dont have to watch it. I find elements of these games intriguing. You dont. The abuse relating to this game is coming from marty morrissey, mcstay and that tool o'rourke. They're throwing out phrases such as "brutal". Such shrill, knee jerk nonsense.

These are amateur athletes, they need to take they abuse down a notch imo.

theoneeyedman · 29-05-2022 5:43pm

An even tight game. Both teams set up very similarly and cancelling each other out.

I'm enjoying it anyway, it's keeping my attention. Donegal have dictated the second half, but have left Derry in it.

Some advice, turn over to BBC, they have excellent coverage
