Dublin vs Donegal Croke Park 7/2/15

[donegal lad]

How are we 1 day away from this game and still have no topic on it. What's everyone's opinion on it will jim Gavin play a stronger team this weekend or will he continue to experiment with the younger lads

Must say I've not looked forward to a league game as much in a long tine. Great to play in croke park and should be a good crowd to help create a good atmosphere

Seriously strong team named by Donegal - looks like very little in the way of experimentation/resting players

No Sign of a Dublin team - and odds are when they name the team they won't bother naming any subs.

Dublin will continue to field a weak team. Last week's sub had zero championship time between them.

Donegal to win this at a canter.

Donegal can't afford to lose this game with Dublin missing 8-9 first choice players.

We have nothing to lose.

Is it possible for Dublin to field a weak team I thought they had the strongest panel in Ireland?

The pressure is on you tomorrow. anything less then 6-7 point win really isn't acceptable

It would be nice to get a win and need only another 2 points for the remainder of the league, but with vengeance in the air and the desperate scramble for places on the hyper-talented and deep Dublin panel just getting started, we may be up against it.

Gave them the night off- we couldn't beat Donegal last year with a full team so we've no chance without 9 players. All heading into Coppers early.
