Donegal v Dublin semi final 28-8-11

[Tyrones own]

Great tactics from Gilroy, keep men back til the last 10 mins then drive forward...Donegal were in a false lull and had shot the load by then with no game plan to finish the game off
Fantastic result for football!

One thing I noticed is that with a few minutes to go with Dublin two points up Dublin were still taking more risks and being more positive than Donegal. It was crazy.

'Fascinating, like car crash?'


Good man Michael.

kerry will not fancy playing the dubs in the final anyway.

Dublin in the final with only two scores from play! Dublin sytle of play isn't much different than Donegal's TBH.

So Dublin brought all bar 1 player into their own half from opposition kickouts and when were down they only had 1 player in the opposition half when attacking???

Well done Dublin   - it's going to be some final now with Dublin and Kerry.


Hard luck to Donegal who have enjoyed a massive season.

I wish Brolly would push his glasses up.

Maybe, but to quote Pat, at least it won't descend into gooch trying to get past Double decker buses parked on the goaline.

Thank God thats over.

Jasus Christ lads but that was some sh1te.
Donegal were painful and th'other shower werent much better but at least they understand somewhere in their minds that you have to attack to win games.
Mind you true to form Deegan( must ensure the big team wins) gave Dublin so many handy frees they couldnt but win.

I'd advise everyone to avoid RTE,TV3,Indorags,Times,Star and any other Dublin based media outlet foer at least 3 weeks as they'll be creaming themselves with bullsh1t about old firms and traditional finals etc etc.
Were there 8 Dublin v Kerry finalsout of the 120 or so played?

Don't know about you guys but i found that game intriguing, the main difference was the free taking & any team that doesn't score for the final 30mins doesn't deserve to win a game. I'd say Kerry are happy they have Dublin in the final instead of Donegal.

Fair play to Dublin first All Ireland final for 16 years progress made.

thank god dublin have put an end to that nonsense.

Some contrast from last years semi final game!

Based on what I saw today I would have been worried about Donegals ultra-defensive approach but I would have absolutely no fear of their attack. They were absolutely clueless when they actually had to go after the game.
