2017 All Ireland Senior Football Championship

Be the hokey

Fucking hell.

Upset alert.

Plenty of time left however.

Is @GeoffreyBoycott watching I wonder?

Carlow have some big strong footballers, dogged crowd.
Fitness could screw them here yet as Monaghan have a bench.

Broderick unerring there

Lovely hold up play from Brendan Murphy and Monaghan foul him late.

Paul Broderick converts.

Lovely free-taking style.

1-6 to 0-7 now after 54 minutes.

Carlow C&S coach Steven Poacher has come a long way since his Underdogs days.

I would suggest they are conserving energy pretty well. Monaghan are fit though.

They are well coached anyway.

McCarthy has made a huge difference.

Ref getting uber invonsistant again

Scraggs’ Alley will be rocking tonight if Carlow can do this.

Dunno about conserving energy but they can’t get enough players to support runners from deep.
Monaghan seem like they’ve got a handle on this now.

The Monaghan netwatcher levels it up at Netwatch Cullen Park. The Carlow supporters will need a Dr. before this is out.

Carlow fucked.

Agreed. Carlow arguably inviting them on too much now.

Ref is so so inconsistant. Although gives a proper free against McManus (who has been well marked out of it)

Nonsense free against McManus that.

Ryan McAnespie kicks Monaghan in front after 64:50.

Red Rover now unless Carlow change tact completely & go for it.

Goooollll de Monaghan.

Fintan Kelly at the back post.

Very well worked goal

Too many Carlow men behind the ball marking nothing only space.
Monaghans patience has been rewarded, to their credit they’ve never panicked here & squad depth has proved vital when their backs were to the wall.

Fair few quid lost on Monaghan in the handicap betting. :see_no_evil::see_no_evil:

Paul Broderick’s free-taking style is very reminiscent of the great Ross Carr’s.
