Get Hawk-Eye to Clones
Monaghan are Ulster senior football champions and nothing is going to change that now after an incredible 0-11 to 0-10 win over Donegal this afternoon in Clones.
Monaghan led at the break by 0-8 to 0-4 and despite going the last 25 minutes of the second half without a score, they held on for a narrow win.
They had to withstand a last gasp shot from Patrick McBrearty that arrowed towards the post but was judged to have gone wide which would have forced the game to a replay.
Some people felt that it was a legitimate score
Still have no idea how that umpire called that Donegal shot wide. Surely give benefit of the doubt.

But TV replays were inconclusive and others such as referee Paud O’Dwyer from Carlow were firm it was not a score

It certainly looked very much like a point in our eyes, and now a Monaghan player has admitted to RTE radio that he felt it was also a point.
Vinny Corey was speaking on this evening’s Marty Squad and told Marty Morrissey that he felt the shot was over the bar.
What do you think?
