Will be interesting. I think Jimmy has a chance. A small one but if the Dubs are complacent at all then they could be caught. Still think the Dubs will do it though

McQuillan refereeing, I don't think it will have any bearing on the result but like Reilly yesterday he shouldn't be getting games at this level.

Thats worth at least 5 or 6 points to Dublin so, I am actually dumbfounded that the GAA has chosen to allow him referee another game involving Dublin after what he did in 2011 and 2013 effectively gifting Dublin two all-Ireland titles on a plate. He lives and works in Dublin and he is clearly biased in favour of Dublin. A disgrace and I just hope Donegal have enough to defeat this 16 man Dublin team from the start.

If he is refereeing the All-Ireland final and Dublin qualify today to play Kerry then I won't even go because he is unfit to referee a Dublin match and him refereeing a Dublin game is just downright cheating by the GAA.

I am predicting this Dublin biased referee to cost Donegal the game.

Good stuff...pass the ticket on to a fan who actually has some understanding of the game.

God knows how final tickets get into the hands of your likes in the first place

Dublin have brought their shooting boots

IfDonegal allow Dublin to continue to shoot from distance under no pressure, they will be in for a long afternoon.

This is a fast paced game. How long can they all keep it up?

Dublin skill against Donegal brute force. Good to see skill winning out so far.

completed unsurprised Donegal started something - blatant attempt to disrupt Dublin's tempo is blatant

Home advantage paying off again for the Dubs

Dublin have skill and brute force, that's the scary thing.

Strong Life in Dublin

come on the dubs

Kerry will need two Cormac Reilly's on their team to beat this Dublin team...:pac: I'm sure spillane will do what he can

Ompala

Should have buried that one

SeaFields

Serious goal opportunity for donegal there had that pass not gone astray

Muff Richardson

Donegal game plan in shreds or non existent

Donegal can't afford to miss chances like that, Dublin punish them down the other end.

Jim McGuinness is being made to look a wee bit foolish here.

VanDinkle

Looks like Donegal can sit in their own box all day, and it wont make any odds.....

They will have to come out and play now.

Say Your Number

What was Kavanagh at

Boom__Boom

At this stage it looks like Dublin need to only get a few more points to get a total that there is no way Donegal will be able to match, bar getting a couple of goals.

Yeah but they can't play, so that could be an issue
