    McQuillan is having a absolute shocker.

    Listening on radio. Jese Rte shocking with analysis. Over now to Damien Diver.

    Brilliant first half of football. Unbelievably high quality from both teams and huge intensity aswell.

    Paul Flynn is on fire.I don't think I've ever seen an exhibition of shooting like his so far today.

    Very exciting game in great conditions. I'd imagine Gavin will start making changes soon. A few of the Dublin forwards not contributing as much as they'd like in attack just yet.

    Match surpassing expectations for neutrals so far...

    ... Finding it impossible not to cheer for Donegal!

    Great half from Donegal. Bottle up Flynn better and the game is there

    Dublin players heads a bit too big going into this I reckon. They've been knocked off their feet by a team that can actually challenge them. Still think they can get a few goals out of this game and win it out.


    But god would I love it if Donegal won.

    The way Dublin are playing Kerry would have them blown out of sight at half time. Donegal too indecisive, Christy Toy a big game changer, if Donegal send in more long ball and mark man to man they will go well clear of Dublin. Dublin are beatable today and if Donegal takes a leaf out of Kerry's book they can beat Dublin. Alot of fouling by Dublin going unpunished by their no. 16 but whats new there?

    Long high ball in will destroy Dublin and if Donegal don't do it then they won't win.

    It's nothing to do with big heads, donegal took their goal chances, Dublin didn't.

    An unreal 7 point turnaround by Donegal. They are relentless.
    Where's Mr Shiite now ?

    Disagree. Kerry would line up far more orthodox and be overrun. Completely different games

    A fresh Paddy McBrearty to come on likely for McFadden. Donegal need to man mark Paul Flynn better and make above substitution n they may have this.

    Hold your horses.... I think there is a 2nd half to play.

    Donegal May have a Toy playing for them, but I have a strong feeling that Dublin are playing with one too......

    Great stuff so far! Donegal underestimated or Dublin overestimated? Maybe a bit of both. The boys are back in town anyway!

    Can finally we put the Donegal "ugly football" stereotype to bed now? It hasn't been relevant since that game in 2011.

    Karl Lacey was outstanding in that first half.

    Flynn not far behind.

    Not an expert, but I'm enjoying watching the game with the level of committment of both teams.
