Galway against Donegal should be a humdinger. 2 top teams.

Thought there was big hype around this guy?
Not his best game but he's also young. Took Canavan a few years to get to where he is now

As previously mentioned I think the exact opposite, both teams pretty much safe and won't want to be showing their full hands.

Someone is going to win the league by accident or the result of others' apathy.

Hard to know what way it'll go, even if they both rest a couple the lads coming in will have a point to probe and be putting their hands up for a permanent place.

Going by the odds Galway v Donegal could be dress rehearsal for the league final at the end of next month.  Not sure how much Donegal wants a league final when a week after it they play Derry in the Ulster championship and Galway will be flying out to New York a few days after a possible league final.   

League should have started a week earlier this year with no pre-season competitions as that would have allowed a two week gap between league finals and the start of the championship.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

How do you avoid a league final if you're going well? Send out a complete b team, or do you heaven forbid throw games.?

Perfect for Galway, win the league and celebrate in New York. It will definitely be interesting to see how McGuinness approaches it.

Dublin can leapfrog Galway or draw level with Donegal at the weekend. Long way to go until a league final.

Armagh a few men back in contention this weekend which which help offset Forker suspension, Paddy Burns back into start, McGrane and Higgins on bench and Grugan returning to the attack.  Game they should be targeting to win at home and mayo been underwhelming to date.

Yeah would be reasonably confident of winning this one at home and would start to look a bit worrying if we didn't in terms of relegation. Great to get a few lads back and hopefully more to come in the next few weeks.

Met office already have a high wind weather warning out for Sunday so we're going to see another game of two halves in Omagh. Horrendous amounts of rain and flooding today and more to come over the weekend. Any chance of a decent spectacle looking slim at the minute.

McKernan suspended for Tyrone?

He got 2 yellows so assume he's free to play.

Probably should have had 4 yellows in that game
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.
