Hard one to call. There's a chance donegal have played their all Ireland but playing kerry and mcguinness' professional approach should keep them focused.

If kerry are to win it, I think Dec O'S will have to have a massive game. I don't think Moran and Donaghy will have the same influence as they did in the SF.

Donegal by 2

[Fuzzman]

I wonder what percentage of the neutral want Kerry to win?
When is the last time The mighty Kerry beat an Ulster team in the final?
Who have they got closest to???

[Keane]

1986 was the last time, we've since lost to Tyrone twice and Armagh once. We lost to Armagh by a point so that would be the closest since I suppose.

[blanketattack]

Depends on definition of closest. Kerry have beaten Ulster teams in 3 semifinals, 2 quarterfinals and 5 qualifiers since 86.

One thing odd about this final is that normally a lot of the neutrals cheer on the underdogs but in this years final i'd say 31 counties are supporting the favourites.

Slightly off topic here but if Mark McHugh was available this year would he be accommodated into the team alongside Ryan or would it be a case of one or the other?

Both fit and playing well there's absolutely no way both wouldn't be starting.

As the late, great SaffronSam2 would have said:

Remember Drumboe.

[ONeill]

We sorta know how this game is going to pan out.

Point for point for 27 mins. Donegal hit a couple of clinkers on 34 and 35 mins to either lead or draw.

Second half they pummel Kerry from 35-55 and open up a 5-point gap. Kerry are frustrated out of their skulls and Donaghy sees red. Donegal play globetrotter stuff last 10.

For that reason, I'd like to see Kerry open up a 5-7 point gap early on to see how composed Donegal can stay. Just for something different.

Apparently Gooch could get a cameo
