Donegal V Tyrone Ulster Final 17th July

[omaghjoe]

Have to be home fairly sharp on sunday evening and bearing in mind big attedance expected... wheres best place to park the car on sunday? Going via monaghan town

Drive past all of the car parks on way in from monaghan untill the garda directs u right and follow on down to just before the back enterance to the Roost Bar 3 car parks on ur left. Get into to the Duffy Terrace and out sharp on the final whistle you will be out and in Monaghan before the crowd is down the hill.

You forgot to factor in that three quarters of the Donegal support will have left with ten to go and Tyrone cruising it with a 7 point lead

They'll be heading home thru Newtonbutler with their tails between their legs if thats the case with only Dromore and Trillick ones to accompany  them home.

I had sort of thought of doing that b4 Bill but was never brave enough to try for fear of a total quagmire, it actually works does it

[Jayop]

Do you think ud be able to buy tickets on the day or is it likely to sell out by then? Hoping to head along but wont know for sure until Sunday morning

You'd normally get one from someone in Clones if you asked around but it's a risk.

It appears Padraig McNulty has gone dissident and formed a breakaway club in his own name. Fair play to him.

[Moortown Spuds]

Clarke is there as an option to dog Murphy. He has the strength. Remember 2005 when Brian Meenan played again Armagh and bounced round the middle hitting everything that moved? I don't think he played much before or after that game but he was great that day. Brennan will start.

Like the way u put the question mark regarding Meehan. Did he play well that day, u might be right, can't mind. Think Brennan should start as well to pick up mchugh, but who would be dropped. Surely Murphy would eat Clarke for his breakfast if they are paired off. Surprised he made the bench and there could well be a change hopefully

[omagh_gael]

Who do you drop for Brennan? McNabb? Sludden?

Should Mickey put our strongest runner (T McCann) on McHugh to try and disrupt his game?

[Norf Tyrone]

What's the craic  with Lee Brennan. Potentially the answer to our free problem.

[ONeill]

Interested to see how McCrory is deployed on Sunday. He was given the task of man marking McKiernan and did reasonably well. He'll hardly be asked to hound Murphy? McMahon did that well last year.

100%. The ones parked out the monaghan road take about 20 mins to hit the carparks you will be long gone.

lee brennan meyler and big richie all injured. thats a pity as all three would significantly improve our sub options. we need to get off to a flier on sunday. our first 20 mins in ballybofey last year was shocking and if it hadnt been for our keeper donegal would have hammered us. similarly we had a shocking last 20  tiny dancer mccurry missed a scoreable free and murphy won donegal the game. i think both teams have a lot of questions to answer. donegal have given up a little bit of their defensive meaness to commit more men forward, which gives teams a few more goal chances, tyrone need to make hay here to win sunday. similarly harte will have to take the shackles off and in doing so he will expose tyrones rearguard especially to quick longball, will he do that or will he keep it ultra tight. first goal sunday will be crucial tyrone by 3 i hope.

Would be good to hear the thoughts of some of the Donegal posters and neutrals on how they think the game will go.
J70 tends to be cautious and plays down your chances but where do you think ye can win this game and what is your concerns?

I think both teams will be worried if either team get too far ahead as they are good at closing up shop and not letting the other team back into it. Tyrone showed v Cavan the last day that if you push forward and leave big holes that they have the players now to create and score goals. You somehow can't see any Tyrone player running 50 yards this Sunday to score an easy goal.

Both teams so far have shown much more of an attacking attitude but I think that could be curbed a lot on Sunday with so much at stake.
