    Have a vague memory of being in Croke Park for a AI Semi Final against Dublin in the mid 80s....it was lashing rain and TJ Kilgallon scored a last minute point to draw the game

    1985, i always thought it was Billy Fitzpatrick who got the equaliser? Think he was 41 when he came on as a sub

    I think we are going to win
    I am basing this on nothing not blind optimism and a belief that is a kick in a lot of lads yet
    Look at Colm Boyle the last few games for instance
    If a few more can stand up and be counted like him we are in business

    Damn near put the fat in the fire for Donegal in the Semi-Final 1992 with a goal chance.
    Nice lad T.J. Taught for years in Summerhill College Sligo along with Peter Ford captain of that 92 team.
    He had a bit of a health scare a few years ago, but luckily Mairtin Carney, far as I recall, recognised the symptoms early and all is well and good with him now.

    Ya, first time in Croke Park for me. And then the Padraig Brogan thunderbolt in the replay. Some goal.
    was reading recently about the John Finn broken jaw. And still it's not known who did it?

    Think we'll see a much more spirited performance this weekend.

    especially if he goes with all the experienced lads, which I reckon he will. they obviously still have the fire in their belly to win Sam, and I think they deserve the opportunity to do that.

    Now whether it'll be good enough to beat Donegal I don't know

    they're being made out to be a real force, but I think that's more to do with creating a narrative that Dublin can be beaten than anything else

    As ever we'll get the answer this weekend. It'd be very disappointing to get another performance like the last few weeks

    I feel little bit more optimistic than I did after the Meath match. Don't know why because it's not as though a whole lot has changed exactly. But I'm looking forward to the game and seeing who lines out anyway.

    It's definitely a concern, but there's isn't much we can do about it at this stage. Can't get hung up on what Stephen Rochford will or won't do.

    Same here.
    Noel Durkin scored a goal in the first minute, I can still remember the roar.
    Massive controversy in the aftermath about the broken jaw etc.

    I also remember Big Tom Byrne (78 minor) coming on late in the second half and nearly pulling the head off a Dublin defender!

    McStay had half a chance to win it at the death but fumbled the pass.

    I didn't get to the replay and the policy at the time was not to show live coverage on telly.

    Crazy stuff as Kerry and Monaghan drew in the other semi final.

    I'd be pretty sure Donegal will have a strategy to exploit our weaknesses at kickouts at any rate...

    I would be worried about Donegal in any case. Having Rochford there with them, even more so.

    Did Kilgallon hit the crossbar or something late on (?)...I may be mis-remembering and mixing up a number of different games

    Nail on the head here. As a Donegal man myself I'm glad to see the team getting praise, but the pundits writing you off so definitively are absurd. We've a lot of firepower up front, but as the game against Meath showed - and at times against Kerry - direct runners charging down the middle of the field can cause us serious bothers. I've noticed the pundits have gone a bit more quiet on us of late, especially since Kerry beat ye. They almost seem relieved that they can big Kerry up now instead of us... It's all propaganda.

    I'm optimistic and can see us edging it but friggin hell I can't see how people can be so certain that one team or the other are nailed on winners. It'll be a hard slog and a cracker of a quarter final and whatever side that wins won't have blown away their opponent.

    Must be, although he would most probably not admit it from the T.J I knew of old, but he is over 55 by a few years.

    You're right, TJ got the equaliser, Billy Fitz got the second last point
