Louth and Fermanagh showing they are determined not to be the whipping boys in this division which is starting to look like a bloodbath already!


All about the rankings for Sam.

Every game is a must win.

Hence why it's a little odd. Division 2 and 3 is cutthroat based on Championship seedings. It effectively makes certain league games worth more than Championship. Cavan could beat Monaghan and Tyrone in Ulster, but unless they win the semi too, those games are worth less than league games v Louth and Fermanagh. An odd system

Armagh18

Take the win and forget about that.

Armagh are only good when they the go for it, chaotic football suits us ala the end of the Galway game in 2022. Pure madness and something worth paying 18 fecking quid for rather than being bored stupid

I was seriously question my choice of paying 18 quid at half time

Serious wind into the river end in Ballybofey. Donegal would need to be 5 or 6 points up at the half, at least. Cork are playing some nice, quick football through the hands to create their scores so far, including their goal. We'll see if Donegal can do the same second half, as so far we've been totally reliant on long range scores with the breeze.

0-8 to 1-2 after 27 mins.

SouthOfThe Bann

Donegal's shooting been very impressive albeit wind assissted.

6 point lead might just be enough. Goal Keeping Cork in the game. Despite playing some good running football but making the wrong decision at times.

J70

0-12 to 1-3 at the half.

McGuinness will be happy enough given the team he has out, but scores will be hard to come by for Donegal in the second half.

SouthOfThe Bann

Donegal very impressive second half so far too.

I suppose they are the masters of playing in the wind.

Cork haven't stepped up this half at all.

Till now. Bad goal to give away (Mulreany caught up the field). We were cruising to victory, now it's back in the mix.

J70

That's 1-1 in the last few minutes from Donegal giving up the ball through hand passes across the Cork defense.

You's have recovered well.

Donegal seem to be on a different level physically to Cork.

Blowitupref

Donegal 10 points in front with  3 minutes to play.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

SouthOfThe Bann

Donegal going to absolutely cakewalk this Division 2 on this weekends evidence.


Captain Obvious

Looks like I was right after the McKenna cup final to say McGuinness focus was fully on the Cork game.


OakLeaf

Donegal very comfortable there. Cork don't look like they'll be in the mix for promotion.
