Sad to see Monaghan drop their heads after the second goal. No defensive system for Dublin to break down in that second half all too easy for them.

Very harsh scoreline on Monaghan. Just a matter of how much Dublin will win by now.
#5539
Nearly twenty minutes gone and no Dublin score from play, when did that happen last?
#5540
Very brave effort by Armagh deserved at least a draw from that game. Murphy a true leader few players like him.

Armagh the better side should be leading at half time. Donegal goal against the run of play could be the turning point of this game.

Syferus, you are losing it!
he never had it to lose it!

Monaghan looked a tired team when they overcame kildare in extra time. They could have done with another weeks rest however they should still give Dublin a better game than any in Leinster did this summer.

So how do Armagh beat Donegal?

by outscoring them. Armagh have exceeded expectations by reaching this quarter final and go into this game with nothing to lose. Donegal are not in their zone like two years ago they will probably never reach the level again however another performance like the one they produced in the Ulster final will likely be enough to beat Armagh.

 http://www.thescore.ie/colaiste-eoin-marist-1351964-Mar2014/ how many of these Leinster school winners are now on the Dublin minor panel?

Also delighted another team adopting a blanket defence did not succeed. Looks like only ourselves and Dubs of teams that are left that don t. While I have my doubts about our defensive strategy I d hate to see every team play the same counter-attacking game. Another reason important to win yesterday.
From yesterdays viewing Cork are unable to play a blanket defence right. What happened to high pressure and all round defensive team strategy you had before this year? sailing close to the wind is the current Mayo defensive strategy.

Mayo only winning by one point against a side that were hammered by both Dublin,Kerry has to be a cause for concern. For the second game in a row Mayos usually solid defence is looking very shaky.

On the swing Kerry struggled against Galway! Means sweet feck all really. We lost to Derry n a League semi final back in April. That means sweet FA to Derry now and Sweet FA to us!

Kerry struggled as much against Galway than Mayo did in the Connacht final. The shaky Mayo defence was seen first during the league however it was ignored as improvement was expected for the championship but on the evidence of the last two games it hasn't improved.

Kerry struggled far more with Galway than Mayo did. That was pretty obvious.

They had similar half time leads and the margin of victory was similar also. I wouldn't call either game a struggle.
