This is just remarkable by Jim McGuiness. Hard to believe this team were hammered by Mayo last year. Unrecognisable.

Commentary is bile, the Dublin team have said nothing and shown no disrespect. This isn't over confidence or arrogance, Donegal have just played well and will be deserved winners

Yeah I agree. Martin Carney talking s***e as usual. I didn't hear Jim Gavin or any Dublin player saying they already All-Ireland champions before this game. Quite the opposite, they were modest and respectful.

6-7 mins added time is my prediction, and Dublin to win on a dodgy penalty

wp_rathead · 31-08-2014 05:03PM

Hack commentary there imo - don't think Dub teams underestimated Donegal (maybe some fans did, deffo not all) just Donegal playing brilliant and got tactics spot on..

supersean1999 · 31-08-2014 05:03PM

At 8-4 up and a sitter of a miss changed the game

Mushy · 31-08-2014 05:04PM

Christie Toy coming on in the first half changed the game. Donegal have played a great game since then, pretty much flawless! I never expected this.

NightOfTheHunt · 31-08-2014 05:04PM

2 mins! Game over, well played Donegal

dublin are not finished yet but this performance has to go a long way in spelling out just how bad a state leinster football is in , the dubs look like the harlem globetrotters in that provence, donegal have exposed a few weakness here today

And what did Dublin do to Monaghan in the Quarter final??
Other than Donegal (after today obviously) they would be more than capable of doing the same to all other Ulster teams

I agree....think Carney should differentiate between the player s and what the rest of the country are saying. I for one was definitely saying that it was Dublin's championship so this is a mad result.

After the league, If someone had told me it would be a Donegal Kerry final I would have laughed

Shouldnt laugh..

But the incincibles.. The undefeatables.. Cant score simple points with the posts staring you in the face..

After seeing fans on the threads the past 2 days, tbis is absolutely hillrious to watch..

Sure kerry wont be a threat.. 15 point win over donegal easily.. The subs have barely scored 15..

Karma youre amazing.

I know we're going to have Dublin fans getting extremely defensive when they see posts like that, but I've seen a massive amount of absolute blind arrogance coming from Dublin fans in the past few days, not all of them of course.

Still, it does feel good to see them shown up like this. :pac:

windy shepard henderson · 31-08-2014 05:06PM

i hope this donegal performance will finally put to bed the stupid argument that dublin have an advantage because of there sponsorship deal with A.I.G its performance not money that wins all irelands

The Dublin team and management seem a decent bunch alright but going by the thread yesterday, many Dublin fans thought they were already in the final. That sort of overconfidence can take hold in a county and affect players as much as they try to avoid it.

Woooo hooooo !!!!

This really makes all the talk of Dublin dominating football for the next 10 years is just a nonsense. I've been saying for a while now that Dublin will get found out this year and their system is far from perfect and they haven't really been tested this year. No-one really listened to me and look at it now.

At the end of it all, it's 15 against 15 and any team can be beaten on any given day.

Westernyelp · 31-08-2014 05:07PM

Delighted for Dublin and their hubris

microsim · 31-08-2014 05:07PM

Show the hill.

martingriff · 31-08-2014 05:07PM

In fairness the Dublin team and management have been very keen to play down any talk of the been undefeatable and all that in has been all the fans.

EunanMac · 31-08-2014 05:07PM

JIMMY'S WINNING MATCHES !

Kristopherus · 31-08-2014 05:07PM

Well done, Donegal. Now give the same dose to Kerry:D:D:D

Spudmonkey · 31-08-2014 05:07PM

Brilliant!

Peist2007 · 31-08-2014 05:07PM

What a collapse from Dublin. Completely outplayed and out-sussed

Peanut Butter Jelly · 31-08-2014 05:08PM

I think a few people in the game thread yesterday owe Donegal an apology...

freddiek · 31-08-2014 05:08PM

great day for the GAA.

A victory for honest amateurism over creeping professionalism.

Well done to all Donegal people.

ThunbergsAreGo · 31-08-2014 05:08PM

Well done Donegal, not Dublin day.

It wasn't the system, didn't even think they were too defensive, it was the players.

Two excellent teams today and Donegal were more clinical. As any same dubs fan has been saying the top 4 are very close.

NNot looking forward to the same old ****e from RTE after. As mentioned the commentary and lack of intelligence shown by the commentary team has been astounding. It's those exact people and not Dublin who have been saying they were unbeatable.

AGain well done to Donegal, guess we can keep Dublin unified for now ðŸ˜‰. Well be back next year

Oregano_State · 31-08-2014 05:08PM

Right lads, that's that. Will both teams have to wear alternate strips in the final?

Let them get defensive.. The arrogance was painful..

Donegal prove it all to be smoke and mirrors..

But now will the arrogant fans admit that they werent good enough.. Or will the excuses roll in

Yep, I always thought the same.

Didn't even put back-to-back All Irelands together and people were saying they were going to dominate. Absolute nonsense.

Timberrrrrrrr · 31-08-2014 05:08PM

Amazing game

Also hilarious to read the first couple of pages of this thread after that result

rebel girl 15 · 31-08-2014 05:08PM

I've banned two users for a week for very poor name calling - lot of moderation on the thread already, you have been warned to keep it civil
