Dublin were no great shakes in 04 but they went on to beat us in Round 4 in "neutral Croke Park".
We were inept enough that year under the stewardship of Tommy Tom Tom.

We went on our best run in the last 25 years the previous year under him.

The game nobody wants to talk about!!
Would attend if it was in the evening but can't make a 2 30 start.
I suppose the result is a foregone conclusion anyway $:-\$

Is there anyone from Leitrim on the board?

Leitrim have won just 3 matches v Waterford,Wicklow and Louth last week and they shipped almighty beating off Armagh in 2013 but Lovely Leitrim have given hot favouritres big scares down the years in the qualifiers in Carrick on Shannon.

2002 Leitrim 1-11 Roscommon 2-9 (Last minute winning goal for the rossies)
2005 Leitrim 1-8 Meath 1-12 (game went to extra time)
2006 Leitrim 0-9 Sligo 1-7
2007 Leitrim 1-12 Donegal 1-14 (game went to extra time)
2009 Leitrim 0-10 Longford 0-13
2011 Leitrim 1-11 Laois 1-13

A scare or straightforward win for Monaghan this weekend? i'd go for the latter with Monaghan to win by 10+ points.

That 2007 game featured the debut of a 17 year old Michael Murphy, brought in after Donegal's weak capitulation to Tyrone in the Ulster semi when McFadden got the line for lamping the "chatty" Brian Dooher.

Think Murphy goal a goal and a couple of points that day in Carrick.

Her indoors family is, but I keep her as far away from it as possible in case she asks to go to a game.
