2007 was the last time we beat Donegal in the championship in the Ulster semifinal 2.15 to 1.07.
McFadden got sent off for punching Dooher on the chin near the end who scored 5 points that day.

They beat us in the semi in 2004 1.11 to 0.09 with Tyrone reigning All Ireland champions.

Donegal really took over then as a force in 2011 and have beaten us 4 times in the following 5 years in Ulster (Monaghan being the other defeat)

So as BennyH said they were just the better team each time with more hunger and a better developed system of play.

Just wondering who would most neutrals want to win this game.

Tyrone would be the neutrals pick imo. Mainly due to the Mickey Harte factor.

What's the mickey harte factor for the neutral??

Donegal used to be a neutral person's team and always liked them but there'd be a few unsavoury characters in that team so not as sure these days.

Tyrone have never been big with the neutrals either i think so i would say it's 50:50.

Not quite sure why you are taking issue with what I said. I would have thought that the above was so obvious, it hardly needed to be stated.

Not everyone in Ulster would buy into the Saint Mickey myth here in Ulster.

He is a hard, ruthless, man who I admire in many ways but warm & cuddly? I think not.
For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world & loses his soul.

Laughable that anyone thinks tyrone would be the neutrals pick.

It's laughable that anyone gives a shite who the neutrals are picking!
That was never a square ball!!
