Sam Maguire 2024 Group 3 - Donegal, Clare, Tyrone, Cork

[SouthOfThe Bann]

Is this a step up in performance in Donegal from their Ulster displays.

Seem to be playing with alot more pace and intensity.

With the obvious exception of the Derry game.

The year is 2038.

Tyrone are tailing off in a tight affair.

There's 15 mins to go.

Cathal McShane comes on.

Tyrone continue tailing off.

[imtommygunn]

Donegal just much better. Thought Tyrone were going to really put it up to them but have really dropped off.

[SouthOfThe Bann]

Donegal relentless pace.

The only criticism id have of them is they don't seem to be able to manufacturer the goal chances that RG's Derry could when running in numbers and at pace.

Butchered a few this evening.

Something to work on.

I think we'll beat Donegal when the ref isn't a Donegal man.

[red hander]

No complaints, Donegal flying. Serious challengers this year, wish them well.

Cathal McShane comes on.

Tyrone continue tailing off.

And Tyrones sole attacking game plan will still be centred on an offspring of the Canavans trying to beat 3 men and hoping he comes up with a bit of magic.

Yes they are, at this juncture only Dublin can beat them , Maybe Kerry, just Maybe.
They just seemed sharper all over the field.

Donegals best performance since win against Derry. In a very good position to top the group now and would have to fancy them to reach the last 4 for the first time in a decade which was last done under McGuinness.

Wha..?

[J70]

Great performance. Honestly wasn't expecting to win that so relatively easily, especially after playing very well in the first half but Tyrone still staying with us. Thought we then blew a few chances to drive it home with about 15 minutes left and feared Tyrone might make it a tight finish again, but fair fucks to the lads, they killed it off. Best performance of his career for Langan, while the runners like Mogan and Ban were superb. Some swing from the game last summer! Tyrone will have some side in the next few years though once all those youngsters get a bit of senior experience under their belt.

[tonto1888]

McHugh going down holding his face there embarrassing.

Par for the course with him

I think we'll beat Donegal when the ref isn't a Donegal man.

Wha..?

Pay no heed. Donegal deserved winners today. That second half performance was Dublin-esque. Congratulations.

Donegal last year compared to this year under Jim McGuinness are prime example to any top 8/10 team how they can improved once it has structure organisation, top level fitness from hard winter training and each and every player buying into a system of play.   With Cork and Clare to come that game yesterday was basically a table topper and the manner and margin of victory yesterday was impressive and it's rarely easy to beat the same Div 1 team twice in a matter of weeks.

Cork could be tricky.They are a decent side. And it's an away fixture on the other side of the country.
