Nice win tonight, and the reward is a Leinster semi against the dubs on their home ground again. No other sport would allow it. doh

Hey Stan wave

I just logged on to say well done on the win tonight. All roads lead to Armagh tomorrow, not sure how I feel about that, we'll see in the morning.

I'm not going to get into your "anti Dub" campaign laugh , but, the easiest way to open up the Leinster championship is to put the Dubs on the road.

Hi Glen, thanks. hug

I just like reminding the dubs about the difference between winning a Leinster/an All Ireland on merit, and winning the playing every game at home diluted version. laugh

OK, can't argue with that laugh

I can't remember who said it, but one of the Tyrone players said, and I'm paraphrasing here, "If Dublin had to go up to Ballybofey, like we did, they wouldn't have it so easy"

I wonder if Cluxton would be so accurate with his kickouts up there. laugh

Anyway, best of luck to you against Armagh today, looking forward to what should be a great game. thumbs up

Thanks Moc, moral and expectations around these parts have been very low, so nice to get a bit of a lift. It is kind of like winning a ticket to play the Minotaur in his labyrinth though. laugh

Hey buddy wave

I'm shocked and delighted about our result on Sunday. I cannot believe how bad Armagh were, they just didn't want to play. Who is 8 points down and decides to play the blanket defence??? Madness!

I thought our first half display was one of, if not, the best displays of football by any Donegal team. They were in total sync with each other, so fluid, total awareness of what was going on, who was where and what was going to happen next. Loved it grin

No shocks all weekend, and looking at the qualifier draw, there won't be any next weekend either laugh

Now, if only Fermanagh would beat Monaghan for me happy place

I'll list a couple of my predictions.

Munster/All Ireland Hurling: Waterford. I don't think either Tipperary or Limerick will beat Waterford. Waterford remain underestimated by a lot of people, even Waterford people. I think they will win Munster and are the team to beat in the All Ireland series. Tipperary/Limerick are both just missing something for me. I think Kilkenny will find some team too good this year. Galway will disappoint again. Clare are dark horses at this stage. A Waterford-Clare All-Ireland final would be fantastic.

Football: Dublin have a fantastic team. But they won't win the All-Ireland. Blowing teams away in Leinster does not win All-Irelands. Being able to manage against blanket defences and/or teams with the will to win like Kerry does.
