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.

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.

The 7 day turn around for Donegal and Cork rested for 14 days is what could make it tricky but I think the confidence Donegal will take from yesterdays win and their fitness/conditioning should be make it alright for them.

Ref made some strange calls for/against both teams - possibly slightly more fortunate for Donegal - but not the reason for the result. Tyrone were not particularly poor but Donegal were very good. I thought they looked fairly average with everyone else in the UC but they raised it a level for this game.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose
