Winners I meant to say sorry. Losers probably more focused I suspect.

Well done Tyrone boys. It was tight, but I thought you were the better team on the day and deserved the win. Too many of our boys struggled and looked a bit tired, although a huge amount of credit has to go to Murphy and Langan to drag us back into it when it looked to be slipping away.

I honestly think we are in a tough position. Cavan are going to tear into just like they did Mayo. Lose that, and it could be a straight shootout against Mayo, and we haven't fared too well against them in recent years.

Malachy O'Rourke still the only man to lead an Ulster team to victory over  McGuinness in the championship.

Credit to both teams, it was a tremendous game, Donegal most likely as runners up in the group, have the unenviable task of now playing four games in five weeks, assuming the last one being an All-ireland Q Final on June 29th.

Should Peter Harte have looked to work another score than boot the ball out of play on the hooter?  In the group stage you never know with scoring difference.

Definitely not.

Maybe if your 4 up but definitely not 3.

Even if they lose to Mayo next week they'll likely still top the group with Donegal 2nd on head to head and Cavan edging out Mayo on head to head in 3rd.

Jesus definitely not. 1 score game and if Donegal won a turnover on the back of that with the crowd behind them and the runners they have available to them against a defence that wouldn't have had time to set up you'd be asking to concede a goal. No offence but one of the silliest things I've read in a while

Tyrone gone to 2nd favourites for the all ireland after that win along with 3 other teams. Nightmare for bookies this years all ireland.

Getting a bit ahead of yourself aren't you

Early rounds have made things interesting. Monaghan are probably in the QFs. Tyrone have every chance of getting there,as do Kerry. One of Dublin/Armagh/Galway will, but the other two will be in preliminaries. Donegal might well be in a preliminary and could meet Dublin or Galway, but not Armagh. Such a game would knock out one contender and likely leave the winner exhausted facing the QF. So Armagh still have it all to play for to top the group, but if they do not manage this their preliminary opponents would not a fancied AI contender,but Donegal/Galway/Dublin do have that possibility. Being in the Ulster final and then a strong group has some advantages.
MAGA Make Armagh Great Again
