How Donegal manage Joe O'Connor will be very interesting. He has been immense for Kerry last two games and for me should be poty unless Clifford gets it. If they stop him it will have a massive influence in stopping Kerry. I think they have players that can stop paudie Clifford. David Clifford is a damage limitation job.

Despite how the semis went it's probably been a good year for Tyrone and Meath. Both probably exceeded expectations and *should* improve for it.

I hope you are right but I think there's a bit more in them than people think.

They have a good chance. They have beaten Galway Dublin and Kerry (though Kerry game mattered less granted). Donegal are rightly favourites but they aren't consistent over the course of seventy minutes and really need to improve that. This game is far from a given.

(Opinions here seem to range from easy for Meath to easy for Donegal with no in between).

Yeah. It's not feasible to take the whole thing away though.

Safety concerns for people at the bonfires and surrounding houses as well as environmental issues are things anyone should go after (in a normal society). Shouldn't matter if sf or not. In reality they should be let do their thing but in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. (A lack of sectarianness would help but not going to happen).

Alot of confidence from the Meath lads here. IMO they will need to be 8 or 9 up at halftime to have any chance.

Donegal have been awful in the first half of matches so this is not an unlikely scenario. Seems to be the ten to fifteen minutes after half time they step it up.

Wouldn't be surprised if Meath win but think Donegal maybe will have too much. Regardless Brennan has done some job for Meath.

O'Rourke isn't exactly known for winning big games outside of Ulster in fairness

You're not wrong. You would think a better manager would have kept it closer with the quality Tyrone have.

I don't think they have as much quality as some think they have. They have some fantastic players but even in their starting team there are positions that are weak enough. I think an ai semi final is a good return for the current team.

Tyrone did well to stay in it but very poor this half. More their misses.

Clifford skinning hampsey badly for pace. McElholm confidence has really dipped here.

Kilpatrick so good at getting the ball - just not so good with it.

They need a lot more from McCurry and probably canavan. McElholm faded a bit too but looks dangerous.

Joe O'Connor tearing them apart. Surely hampsey has to be changed?

Morgan is superb.

Antrim too.

The two yesterday both looked very poor. Tipp would need a much better performance to even threaten cork. Kk as bad as they have been in years - they were just walked through for the goals.
