Cheers lads. Could be mayhem this eve at Breffni,  some footage already doesn't look good. Hard to keep a lid on this. 40th ulster title, people are going to go nuts.

Itchy, we had some disagreements on here after our semifinals last year but by god I'm delighted for ye pal. Enjoy it. I'm not jealous at all. Promise

Galligan's interview on bbc bear had me in tears.

Great stuff by him and his manager on tv.  Pure speaking from the heart instead of this robotic prehersed stuff that managers and players come out with.

Cavan played with passion from the first whistle. The goalie said they talked during the week about having a cut at it and that's what they did.

Too many managers, and by extension players, just go through the motions - routine stuff with no passion etc.  Graham is some manager- he has something which other managers like Bonner and Gallagher etc. don't have...passion with no little tactical nous and skill.

A great day for Cavan and their people - a huge gaa traditional county.

100 years after Bloody Sunday, the 4 same teams are in the semi-finala.  That's magic.

Excellent post and can't disagree with any of it

Galligan's interview on bbc bear had me in tears.

Semi finals exactly as they were in 1920

Brilliant. Well done

That was definitely a black card!

Apart from that call Cassidy has been horrific though.

Wording is critical here

5.12 To deliberately collide with an opponent after he has played the ball away or for the purpose of taking him out of the movement of play.

Nailed on black card here.

I think this might be the offence for the first black card as well.

You couldn't say the first one was deliberate

I think that one was a black card

Donegal player knew what he was doing there.

I don't know about that

That's nasty looking

Never a black card

Ryan McHugh made an absolute meal of it, had a real hissy fit on his knees!!

He's always at that. Hard to like him. Fantastic player though

Early days yet but Cavan giving a far better account of themselves than Armagh against Donegal.

They really turned it on after the water break against us

Ryan McHugh is always throwing the hands up screaming that's he's always hard done by. It's clearly a Donegal tactic, and it worked there. I don't think the ref was for doing anything until he threw the hands up.

Even if it is a Donegal thing, he is by far the worst at it

Never a black card

Fantastic. And that alone shows why the provincial championships should stay

I suppose an uncomfortable question would be - are the dubs seconds the 2nd strongest team in Ireland?

If that's even debatable then this problem isn't generational and isn't going to go away itself.

What would dublins seconds 15 be?
