    A poor game from both sides. Yellow card for mc Hugh was terrible the replay on Tg4 showed the donegal player pushing his face repeatedly into the ground. When a team doesn’t even try to score a winning point when in possession in the last minutes of the game it sums up their mentality.

    The record is always mentioned as a winning streak with no caveat attached that it doesn’t count the byrne cup. Saying we’ve won 32 games in a row except these two so we won’t count those competitions is ridiculous.

    Poor game in terrible conditions! Never a free! Dublin had enough chances to close out game before the free! Still only February! I’m sure Jim Gavin won’t be getting to excited about this result!
