It's a game for Andrews alright. He's turned into a proper big game player and more defensive than any forward we have .

Kevin Mc from the bench.

Every game should be a game for Andrews, the guy is a beast.

Smyth's is closed at the moment. It was bought out by that Brú brewery and they're renovating it.

didn't know that. This fancy brewery is hardly going to have brown bread and soup is it?

First pint in Grogans!

Swapped my Hill tickets from Lower Hagan,so can l can wander in just before 6.

They'll have deconstructed brown bread and soup. Wrapped in bacon.

The 1995 Jersey is like a blanket. I'm ****ing melting.

The 83 retro version is more suited to this weather

Heading in now. Fierce windy here by the sea, in Sutton. Hope its a bit calmer in Croker. Dublin Bay is looking only garjis in the sunshine !

Here is to another glorious day, for our glorious Capital.

I packed the poncho, just in case. Lots of clouds in that sky & there is a long ass day ahead of us.

summers were colder in the olden days

Bloody fuming after that. I'll have to watch the recording later but that was as inept a performance from a ref that I've seen in a long long time.

Kilkenny was immense and our backs played very well.

How Murphy got away with that wild swing on Fenton is beyond me.

First red looked as soft as they come. A nothing tackle and Dermo gets the line for it. Didn't see O'Garas but the brother seen it on tv and said it was ridiculously soft.

God, refs are ruining the game.

Handy enough win. As expected.

Referee tried his hardest to keep Donegal in the game. I commend him for this.

Both Ulster teams out after pathetic performances. Says it all.

Roll on Kerry.

Pints!

Lots and lots of pints on the way.

Delighted to get the win. It will really stand to the lads.

Kilkenny put in a performance that I didn't think he had in him. Just heard he had over 50 possessions!!! Don't think he lost the ball once. Some serious talent in that young lad.

Tbf Murphys tackle in real time looked more clumsy then dangerous although in the replays he did hit Fenton a proper crack. DC second caution was tame enough but already on a card he should have known better, id say it was the instant reaction of the Donegal players that made up the refs mind.
O Gara red was very soft, if he was going to be sent off he may as well have laid Mcgee out. I still think the Dubs played well within themselves and should get over Kerry with a bit to spare in the semi

Mostly agree with the.

That was a rather unnervingly unnerving display. Never worried.

Can't say that Kerry would have enjoyed watching either of us or Mayo
It's us or the other semi that'll win Sam.

COYBIB

Looks likes this sesh in Benburb can wait.

O Garas red was an absolute joke.

Said in the other thread Connolly was sent off because Donegal tried hard to get him sent off. He literally did nothing to earn the first yellow. Happened right in front of me. McGlynn pulled him to the ground, Connolly tried to get up and he jostled him some more. Connolly made a concerted effort not to make an aggressive move. Thing is these teams know the standard practice is two yellows. Job done. From then on all they have to do is make a mountain out of a mole hill of any Connolly challenge and a timid ref will fall for it. McGlynn almost assaulted Connolly after he tackled Thompson.

He's no saint Connolly but he's just not going to be let play football by good teams. They're going to do their best to get him sent off.

Anyway happy to answer that shower on the scoreboard. They, and Tyrone, are horribly negative.

And good riddance! But we still have stuff to deal with.
