Monaghan 1-10
Donegal 1-9
COLIN WALSHE WAS the hero as Monaghan sneaked past Donegal and secured their Division 1 status for another year.
Walshe kicked the winner two minutes into stoppage-time, giving Monaghan the lead for the first and only time in the game.
Despite losing four straight games in the top flight, Donegal advance to the semi-final where they’ll meet Dublin.
Donegal raced into a 1-4 to 0-0 lead after 19 minutes, with Martin McElhinney finding the net. Monaghan fought back to within three at the break as Dermot Malone’s goal brought them back into the game.
The second-half saw Conor McManus display his considerable dead-ball talents with four excellent frees. They helped bring Monaghan level and Walshe had the all-important intervention to seal the points.

Could the journal not just say ” stalking “
@martin byrne: it’s a quote from the WTA statement.
What do they mean by “fixated behaviour”. Was he looking at her or what.
@Ray Ridge: rumour has it, he was playing a little bit of tennis with his own tennis balls. His serve was a master stroke, and Emma was his opponent
Why wasn’t he arrested instead of kicking him out.
@Papa Kilo: Without wishing to make light of a potentially serious situation, for what exactly? The bloke who walked 23 miles to knock on her front door on the other hand….
@Justin Robinson: I’m sure Emma knows when she is being stalked. There is no need to second guess her intuition. If she felt unsafe then that is enough.
@Phil McCabe: let’s hope we don’t start banging people up on “intuition”, or “how she felt”
Whatever terminology was used is pure semantics. The poor girl was obviously in a very distressed state and needs to be taken seriously. Some of the comments here give the impression she was over reacting. There are a lot of freaks out there whose behaviour is deliberately borderline, in order to create the impression that there isn’t really anything going on. This is a shockingly sinister development and needs to be treated as such.
@Dave Campbell: the cynics probably too young to remember the what happened to Monica Seles
