Talk all you like about defensive stuff but that was some game. Armagh were brilliant. Donegal big men stood up

It's because Donegal are far worse than pretty much anyone else. Most opponents have to play defensive football against Donegal due to the way they set up which leads to some god awful games. I would normally love to see Donegal win an All Ireland but as long as you play like you under Jimmy I hope you don't. I'll be supporting Dublin in 3 weeks time and I think most neutral supporters will also.

Most neutrals like O'Se would agree yesterdays game was a good watch. When Donegal won the All Ireland two years ago they played a good balance between defence and attack their games against Cork,Kerry,Mayo were all good viewing for any neutrals watching.

The minimum qualification for any side to even make the short list  for the best ever is back to back All Irelands. So far, this is not best team to come out of Dublin, never mind the entire country. If they retain Sam this year, they could be in a position to push on towards some major targets. The strength of their squad is particularly impressive but the history of Gaelic games is littered with big names who could not cope with the pressures of initial success. Judge Dublin in another year or two.

Well said.

The race for Sam is going to become a race to see who comes second

Good news for Mayo then.

Well?

only themselves.

Sad to see Monaghan drop their heads after the second goal. No defensive system for Dublin to break down in that second half all too easy for them.

Very harsh scoreline on Monaghan. Just a matter of how much Dublin will win by now.

Nearly twenty minutes gone and no Dublin score from play, when did that happen last?

Very brave effort by Armagh deserved at least a draw from that game. Murphy a true leader few players like him.

Armagh the better side should be leading at half time. Donegal goal against the run of play could be the turning point of this game.

Syferus, you are losing it!

he never had it to lose it!

Monaghan looked a tired team when they overcame kildare in extra time. They could have done with another weeks rest however they should still give Dublin a better game than any in Leinster did this summer.

So how do Armagh beat Donegal?

by outscoring them. Armagh have exceeded expectations by reaching this quarter final and go into this game with nothing to lose. Donegal are not in their zone like two years ago they will probably never reach the level again however another performance like the one they produced in the Ulster final will likely be enough to beat Armagh.
