Good to see all those booing supporters sent packing all the same

Really expected Derry to be a lot better today, looks like Gallagher still has no plan B. Hopefully this doesn't end up like Cavan 2020 for them.

When Dublin beat Kerry tomorrow, I wonder how long we'll have to wait until Kerry are installed as favourites for next year's All-Ireland?

Kerry won't loss tomorrow

You been reading the papers?

Poor auld Cavan

What a stupid tackle

Can't see Kerry beating Dublin

Armagh always seem to let themselves down.

Is it an Armagh thing or a McGeeney thing?

I dunno at this stage, there's nonsense behaviour in every game they're involved in.

Armagh always seem to let themselves down.

The poor Armagh ones will get soaked on the way home now

Can't imagine there are too many neutrals left supporting Armagh at this stage.

Today's match could be the start of a series over the next few years.  Same for the semi.

Both teams are far too flakey to be saying something like that

Clones bigger longer though patton probably wont be able to kick as long

Clones is 3 metres shorter.

3 metres shorter than where? Ballybofey is supposed to be max length according to Wikipedia, but I posted an aerial image here which showed the 70m lines fairly close together which suggests that it is not.

3 metres shorter than both Croke Park and Ballybofey. The person I replied to said that Clones was bigger and longer, did you not read the post?

at least donegal cant narrow the pitch, so taht will make it easier for Armagh to at least win their own kickout.
actually buzzing myself for sunday if we get the injured guys on the pitch.
Mc Geeney needs to go for it, attack their kick out and push on.

When did Donegal narrow the pitch?

this year in ballyboffey
one could see clearly that the pitch was moved in at either side

It still looked very tight to the terraces on tv. Can't have been by much.

one could see clearly the markings, which tightened the whole pitch and
also allowed the bigger donegal men around the middle to close the space for the kickouts which meant rafferty had more often than not to go long.
armagh were cleaned out when this happened

The pitch being moved in a metre on each side (according to the BBC) would have given it the same dimensions as Croke Park. Incidentally, that's still far bigger than Clones.
