It looks like the end is near for ‘ghost goals’ after today’s news.

    That was a brilliant game of Gaelic Football. Really glad I decided to watch it. Brilliant end to end football, no blanket defences and slow build up, just brilliant long kick passing and quick attacking play. Fair play to Monaghan too and young O Toole, fortune favour the brave!

    That was a game for the ages. Proper old school 90s football. Monaghan were poor in the first half but whatever Vinny Corey said to them at HT worked a treat. Tip of the hat to both teams in what was a titanic tussle in the second half. New York, the Rossies and now Monaghan staring the 2023 cship with a bang. Long may it continue!

    @Daniel Sheeran: don’t forget the Banner men too! Great win over the Rebels for them last week! I’m optimistic with all the games this summer that we will get a lot more great games hopefully.

    Really enjoyed that game, but the GAA really need to do something about the sly digs off the ball that box in b*lls in the second half was pure filth. Didn’t fully see the one with P Harte but again was off the ball.
