Quote from: tbrick18 on May 08, 2024, 07:00:59 PMI personally think that Donegal will be 4-5 point winners.
Donegal didn't get the credit they deserved for walloping Derry and were narrowly beaten in an Ulster final 2 years ago.
They've already beaten Armagh in a final this year, however, were didn't perform at the same level against tyrone as they did against Derry. Some of their attacking play against Tyrone was poor enough.
They have, in my opinion, a better manager and overall better players than Armagh.
Armagh have struggled to beat a limited Down team and were not that impressive against Fermanagh.
Ok, they are perhaps trying to peak for the final so may improve.
But they've done nothing in recent years to show they have the nerve to win a big game - I think they are just short a few players and need to focus on the football and not the physical antics they often get themselves involved in. If they focus on playing their own game and I think they'll do better than trying to out-tactic Donegal.
Of course I could be entirely wrong, just my read on it.
Hard to argue with most of that. Time to finally step up for a few of our players and leave everything on the pitch. I'm not overly hopeful though. I'd expect McGuinness will be better tactically and will have a plan to keep our best players quiet. Obviously hope to be very wrong...
