Donegal don't do as well against teams with a 2 point threat. They defend so deep and leave that option open. Louth had no threat at the weekend.

Monaghan, on the other hand, do pose a threat outside the arc and have significant threats in tighter spaces closer to goal to cause donegal major problems.

Donegal will be running low on gas and if they've a slow start and need to start chasing the game then I've a feeling Monaghan could sneak it.

The thing about Kerry is they always have a big performance in them especially when its perceived that they have stuttered (which relatively speaking they havent this year)  I remember in 09 they lost to Cork in Munster then beat Longford, Sligo and I think Limerick by a cumulative 5 points then stuffed a well fancied Dubs by 17 points or so on bank holiday Monday.

I get the vibe they have a big performance in them against a good but slightly shaky defensively Armagh team this weekend so I would have Kerry as favourites and wouldnt be surprised if they won with a little bit to spare.

Donegal for me are the best team in the country by a small margin because of the intensity of their defending they seem to pressure more than other teams inside the arc so I would fancy them to edge out Monaghan but i think it will be close. That said Monaghan do have some options from range that could trouble them.

Dublin and Tyrone have both been a bit Jekyll and Hyde for me this year but I expect Tyrone to come through unless O'Callaghan is fit and sharp

Galway v Meath could go either way and a lot will depend on the fitness of Walsh, Conroy etc.  Very hard one to call

Monaghan I think could cause an upset. They will benefit from the extra week off...

Three games in 3 weeks will leave  Donegal  vulnerable  , but  I'd imagine they'll fall over the line

Hard to know what  Tyrone will show up.  A fit COC would swing it Dublin's way

Galway are like  a cat with 9 lives.  They'll fluke their way through this  one too,  no doubt

Armagh are suspect  at the back ,  but they'll just do enough at the other end. They  won't do  it the easy way though. They never do

Donegal statement tonight

[RedHand88]

Utterly embarrassing stuff.

[SouthOfThe Bann]

Utterly embarrassing stuff.

It's very fair they've been shafted. And I'm no Donegal fan.

[Armagh18]

Cant say I disagree tbh

[AustinPowers]

Any chance they  will change  Donegal to Sunday for a triple header?

[APM]

What was the point of that statement?

[RedHand88]

Utterly embarrassing stuff.

It's very fair they've been shafted. And I'm no Donegal fan.

How? Because They have to play 6 days after a game instead of 7? I haven't heard anyone explain why this makes a difference. Anyone saying an extra day's rest can save it. Teams will be training all week from tonight.
