Dublin V Donegal 6th Aug 6pm Sky

[J70]

Basically, we're fairly old in defense and very youthful in attack!

Line-up from Cork game

1 Mark Anthony Mc Ginley
2 Paddy Mc Grath - 27
3 Neil McGee - 30
4 Eamon McGee - 32
5 Ryan Mc Hugh - 22
6 Karl Lacey -32
7 Frank Mc Glynn - 30
8 Rory Kavanagh - 34

Christy Toye - 33
Leo McLoone - 27
Mark McHugh - 26
Ciaran Gillespie - 19/20

Not sure what age McGinley is. He played soccer for UCD for years, and played a bit with Harps too I think, so I'd imagine mid to late 20s.

2014 gone into sporting mythology as a "masterclass" of management.

Was at the game and beneath all the faff written and self written  about the game, imo the difference between two evenly matched teams was the fact Donegal took their goal chances and Dublin didn't. Oh did I mention that Donegal played brilliantly and had one of those days when everything they touched turned to gold.

Read somewhere that they actually put more points on the scoreboard than the amount of  actual chances they created.

Donegal's failure to follow up on the performance in the AIF cost them dearly.

Personallly glad it is Donegal in the quarters for us as there will be zero overconfidence I would think in the camp after that  2014 game.

They never got going in the final at all. What happened?

[Fuzzman]

I see McGuinness agrees with me that Donegal have to leave two or three men up front and really go for it via the Dubs as they will not score enough otherwise.

[Gaaggle]

What we need is a swirling gale force wind and driving rain. Drag them down to our level! See if they can handle Ballyshannon in February type elements!

So, similar weather to the 2015 All Ireland Final then??

[The Hill is Blue]

James McCarthy back for the Dubs. That puts us in with a chance.

Dublin to win pulling up..... 8+

[J70]

No changes for Donegal

[Syferus]

I saw the last attempt Donegal made at this back in April and even though it was relatively close at half time it was already well over with Dublin playing within themselves and their bench still to be emptied.

Winning this one would make 2014 look minor - Donegal are worse than they were two years ago and Dublin are better.

[AZOffaly]

Diarmuid Connolly really has to rise above that sort of stuff.

[Syferus]

Tr**p behaviour by Murphy.

[AZOffaly]

Murphy lucky he didn't walk there

Absolutely. Fenton went low a bit, but closed fist. Jaysus his face looks like the Elephant Man after it.

[Main Street]

Murphy's punch was similar to Donaghy's last week, but apparently many think such contact is not even worth a yellow card.

It's an almost legal method  to knock someone's block off, just pretend you're tackling and land the uppercut with venom.

[square_ball]

Yeah it's a dirty action knew exactly what he's at.
