If you had a sweeper that you could trust to watch donaghy to relative degree and you let o'shea wander up to full forward a few times whod pick him up?

I see in the paper Tyrone clubs have been allocated 12,000 tickets which is a few thousand short of what was needed. Surely they could have given Tyrone 14,000 tickets? Dublin clubs are being given 30,000 tickets which doesn't seem right. This is an All Ireland semi final and for neutrality purposes they shouldn't be favouring one county over another.

I know people can point to Dublin's previous attendances but those games were all in Dublin and much easier to access for their fans. If all their games were in Omagh they certainly wouldn't be bringing large crowds to them. There was only 12000 or something like that at their only championship game outside Dublin.

215 clubs to 68

[Treating Donaghy as something special rather than a limited footballer is where most teams make their first error with regards marking him.]

I think most people will be able to admit that it's fairly cut and dry. 'Two penalties'! Mother of god 

You'd be a good man to ask , what do the Narries handle Donaghy when they are playing the Stacks.
He doesn't seem to do a lot of damage ?

Ah he does plenty a lot of the time. He's in and out from midfield with Stacks a lot which curtails him but at that level when he's fired up it's just damage limitation.

Our full back line wouldn't be the biggest so it's generally just a case of trying to get as many bodies around him as you can (and hoping the weather is bad).

Yeah, I think you know you are doing well when you see him drifting out the field .
He looks slow in the middle of the field.

Not really. He started doing it of his own accord after 20 hellish minutes against Galway.

Heard it all now, you've some standards if you think Donaghy's limited.

If you don't think he's limited it's me that's heard it all.

Hes one limited forward whod walk into the roscommom team ahead of anyone on it

Indeed

Is that 18 up or you have to be older ie 19 up?

Lads its done the ref is going to go back and give a free out or a penalty at this stage 😂

Who for the final so?

Think you can rule Deegan, Coldrick and Going out given they have taken charge of the semis. McQuillan? Lane?

Lane is the worst ref on the circuit right now and it would be a disgrace if he gets it.

McQuillan, has to be.

Or... Cormac Reilly? 

Whats the most amount of matches a team has played in a single seaaon? If Mayo win the replay, after the final (barring any further replays) will have played 10 matches, two of which have gone to extra time

Tyrone played 10 championships matched in 05.

Meath played 10 championship games in 1991 also.

Was that the year they had all the replays against dublin?

Yes 4 games with Dublin,two games with Wicklow, and one game against Offaly,Laois,Roscommon and Down.  It has been said the break they had for All Ireland final killed their momentum.

So if they were to play at least one more replay and a final, would 11 be a record?

Grand but which FB? You couldn't put Higgins, Boyle, Barrett on him as he'd win high ball all day. Harrison? What about Geaney, he did well on him. It can be too easy to criticise a management decision but not have an alternative solution that's any better.

Vaughan. I don't rate him much, but he's a mucker and even if he's loose defending he understands the basics of it, unlike AOS. Strong enough too, and good enough to do at least a bit better of a job than AOS did, freeing AOS to do what he's actually good at.

That Kerry FB line would have shat bricks if AOS was on top of them yesterday.

But vaughan isnt a full back or able to compete under high ball with donaghy

Vaughan's a big enough man himself and has been excellent the last couple of games...he's a shoe in to pick up Donaghy on Sat imo

Vaughan is 6"2 and not a particularly good fielder

AOS isn't a back, period. Vaughan is more suited than Ger Caff to marking Donaghy. You've going to have the likes of Higgins and Harrison providing cover anyways.

If Rochford was obsessed with over-thinking it and putting a midfielder back there, at least SOS has a higher work-rate than his brother.

Seamus Oshea is 6"2, Donaghy is 6"5
