Note: Brian O'Driscoll, Ian Maguire and Ruairi Deane were not considered for selection due to injury.

[twohands!!!]

Cork's midfield v Gallagher and Toye could be nasty and there doesn't look to be any serious midfield options on the bench. Very relevant that 2 out of the 3 injured lads are  midfielders - Maguire did something with his back and Deane will surely be for fortunate to feature by championship given he was a cruciate injury.

The Cork defence should be better with Shield back but I would be hard-pressed to see them winning an All-Ireland at any stage with the core being that lot

I'd imagine that DOC will be out the field leaving O'Neill and Hurley as a two man forward line. Could easily see the supply of ball to these 3 being very limited.

Looking at the Donegal lineup, I'd be very surprised to not see them winning this.

[J70]

I thought Anthony Thompson was off the panel,  at least for the league and possibly beyond. Good to see he's back again.

He's living and working in england buy has made the commitment of flying back for every game. He trains on his own in england. Great player great dedication

[orangeman]

Paddy Kelly and Kerrigan two very useful options off the bench ( amongst others ).

Should be a good game.

[J70]

Donegal up 0-10 to 0-5 about ten minutes into the second half. Was level at the half.

[J70]

Murphy gets the line 15 minutes into the second half. Finally cracks under the Cadogan treatment.

[J70]

Donegal 0-11 Cork 0-6

[J70]

Donegal 0-11 Cork 1-6

12 minutes left

[J70]

Donegal 0-11 Cork 1-7 right after McFadden and Ryan McHugh mess up trying to walk the ball into the net

[J70]

McBrearty point

0-12 to 1-7

8 minutes

[J70]

FT Donegal 0-12 Cork 1-8

Should have won well, but were hanging on at the end. Murphy red the turning point.

One more win will probably do us!

[Zulu]

Donegal getting the full 15 into their own half. Not good to watch.

[twohands!!!]

Poor enough old fare - seems to be a lack of intensity by both sides although the pitch seems very sticky.

Cork lucky enough to be level at half-time.

I'd say Cuthbert is fairly happy that the rugby game clashed with the broadcast of this.
