Quote from: Rebel84 on June 01, 2024, 11:18:41 PMHow come Donegal always play that bit better against Tyrone?

No we don't. Got hammered last year after a spirited win over Monaghan. 2021 they beat us with a few to spare, albeit after Murphy missed a penalty and got the line. It goes back and forth.

Top level football is getting depressing.

City and Madrid way out in front. Others run them close, but they always have that edge in the end.

It's getting as boring as City and the PL.

And wait till Mbappe arrives.

Quote from: Ciarrai_thuaidh on June 01, 2024, 04:50:02 PMBig result for Cork there today. Joke it wasn't available on TV anywhere.

Cork turned Donegal over repeatedly - basically did a Donegal on them. Finished 3 goals and missed 2/3 more chances. Donegal made a valiant effort to get level but Cork just about held out.

Blows group wide open now. Cork v Tyrone is a big one.

Ulster overrated a tad or Donegal just a bit jaded/complacent??

Who is overrating Ulster?

Has anyone said any Ulster team is better than Dublin or even Kerry. Derry were/are fancied to be competitive, as are Donegal and Armagh, but is anyone putting them down as ahead of Kerry and Dublin?

It is a simple fact though that Ulster is very hard to win because there are a bunch of teams at a similar level and playing in the Sam Maguire series.

Maybe the Dubs would have won a bunch of Ulsters, but to do so, they'd have to be at full pelt each season a lot earlier than they have had to be in Leinster.

They turned Donegal over a lot in the first 50 minutes. Got two goals from it. The likes of Mogan and Eoghan Ban were much less effective with their running. Maybe no harm in the larger scheme as it gives McGuinness plenty to work on.

We'll need the rest too as a few players like McGee went off with knocks.

Cork win by two. Donegal blew a few opportunities late on. Sickener after a good comeback. But deserved win for Cork.

Preliminary quarter final for us, assuming we beat Clare, unless we manage to run up the score and Tyrone beat Cork.

Cork one up after McGonagle called for overcarrying.

3-8 to 0-16

Depends how the Tyrone v Cork game goes.

So it's scoring difference and not head to head to break ties?

Scoring difference if three finish on the same points.

Well Donegal would need Tyrone to beat Cork. Presumably they'd also beat Clare. In which case all three would have four points. So Donegal need to pull this back.

Point in it.

Quote from: Blowitupref on June 01, 2024, 03:34:37 PMPerfect start to the second half for Cork, be interesting to see how Donegal respond.

Donegal are the 2nd coming, no chance Cork are beating them

Who said that?

Kerry / Donegal / Dublin, everywhere you read... And me!

Most coverage I've heard predicted a tough game for Donegal at PuR.

If they don't turn this around, I'm assuming Donegal can't top the group?

3-6 0-12

Two quick goals at the start of the second half for Cork. Donegal in a bit of bother. Getting turned over quite a bit.

Well yeah, but we were talking about the swing states. And I looked up Wayne County which contains Detroit and Dearborn. 100K people of Arab descent. I don't know what the polling shows or the exact political trends among those people, but yeah, on second thoughts, given how tight Michigan has been, Gaza could well be decisive if enough of them withheld their vote. And it is those I was referring to.

Like yourself, my vote in NY doesn't really matter (if it does, Biden is in very, very serious trouble!). Theirs does.
