Ulster Championship 2020

[dublin7]

That second half by Donegal was reminiscent of the Mayo game last year in the 2nd half. Last year against Mayo all the Donegal players went missing and it was left to Michael Murphy to try and do it all on his own. Today I'm the 2nd half all Donegal's big guns disappeared again and with Murphy struggling no one stood up to show any leadership. Even before the goal Cavan had got on top at that stage and they were the ones driving forward looking for the victory

Fair play to Mickey Graham, he has the ability to turn out a determined team even if the raw materials are not superior on paper.

The difference a good coach makes is phenomenal

Mickey Graham has now added an Ulster title to a Leinster club title with Mullinyachta which was won against the might of the biggest club in Ireland, Kilmacud Crokes - that is serious going

Declan Bonner will be under pressure now

Donegal looking extremely impressive and then failing when it matters seems to be becoming a pattern

[Milltown Row2]

Cavan need to push for the athletic grounds or Portlaoise for the semi final. There is absolutely no need for it to be in Croke Park with no crowd.

Absolutely

[BennyCake]

Cavan need to push for the athletic grounds or Portlaoise for the semi final. There is absolutely no need for it to be in Croke Park with no crowd.

Totally agree

That's a very valid point. Dublin have enough advantages as is.

3 years in a row now they've fallen flat on their faces in an effective quarter final. Bonnar could be looking over his shoulder.

They continue to flatter to deceive under Bonner alright.

[imtommygunn]

They have too many attacking players. Eoin mchugh is a half forward playing corner back and ban Gallagher is a roving half back. You can get away with one but not two in corner back.

[armaghniac]

Against Armagh, Donegal had the wind and Armagh didn't get a couple of early chances, so Donegal went ahead and Armagh lost their composure completely. In that environment, Donegal certainly looked good. Today, Cavan kept coming at them and Donegal did not really perform.
Good to see that games do not always go to script.

[yellowcard]

That was some display by Cavan, the performance analysts and stats men will be scratching their heads as the game was won with a level of intensity, controlled aggression and pure raw emotion that rendered systems and processes redundant.

That was the highlight of the GAA year and I don't think it will be bettered, the post match interviews just showed what it meant. A great sporting day for Gaelic football.

[Angelo]

Cavan's fitness levels in the games so far have looked top class. They have lots of athletic players around the middle of the pitch in the likes of Galligan, Brady, Smith, Clarke etc there.

Also fair play to someone like Martin Reilly who has hung on in there with Cavan through all the lean years.

[befair]

Donegal over-rated because Armagh were so poor; as with Cork, probably felt they only had to turn up. Cavan deserve the title; as I recall, in the prelim round, they were 6 pts down to Monaghan with 10 mins to go, and looking pretty abject. But great spirit and heart and determination got them through in the end

[BennyCake]

Cavan Dublin should be in Navan

Tipp Mayo should be in Salthill

Guaranteed they'll both be at Croke Park though.

[tonto1888]

Galligan's interview on bbc bear had me in tears.

[An Watcher]

Brilliant performance, renews my faith in gaelic football a bit. Also, rubbishes the idea of doing away with the provincial championships. Dublin will probably hammer them but who cares
