Beating Dublin is neither here nor there. This is a big game in it's own right for GAA people in both counties.

Tyrone will not beat Donegal in Ballbofey. cacsmckilly (Tyrone) - Posts: 1294 - 22/07/2018 19:29:32 2124820 Link 0 |
I was really impressed by Tyrones game last night, and we will take a lot from that game , Donegal are already without PMCB and young Gallagher and I'm hearing also now langan. Tyrones experience should be enough here , which will take us into another All Ireland semi final , which hopefully this year getting a step closer , but ballabofey first , we should have enough . ta32 (Tyrone) - Posts: 4907 - 22/07/2018 19:48:59 2124829 Link 0 |

Of which I'm one! Of course it's a big game not saying otherwise, but ultimately even if you win to land Sam you would arguably have to beat Dublin, so I don't see how it's neither here nor there. Your season doesn't stop if you win in Ballybofey, if you lose of course it does, but if you win and don't land Sam the result is neither here nor there as the winner will end up with the same as the loser! Sweet FA!!

That's not good! What are you hearing about Gallagher and Langan?

Ho ho this will be spicy! The biggest GAA match ever played in Donegal I would say. I'm under no illusions as to how tough it will be to get a result. Tyrone have been bubbling along nicely in the qualifiers and put in a very creditable performance at the weekend against Dublin. There's no love lost between the two sides so we know Tyrone will bring their usual fire and fury. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9154 - 23/07/2018 10:27:40 2125024 Link 0 |
Gallagher had taken a hefty knock, I've just read below now he might play some part, langan rumoured to got injured, youse lads obviously would know before me , all in all we for sure want all them fit for the occasion

This is going to be a cracking game, should be Tyrone but with so much riding on game will be a right ol battle. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4897 - 23/07/2018 10:53:14 2125040 Link 0 |
I'm concerned about the physicality here in all honesty, I'm having nightmares of lads running down cul de sacs and being swallowed up by Tyrone defenders who then break quickly for points. I think we have grown and learned a lot this year so I hope this won't happen but it's the way I see us losing this game badly because in terms of just general forward play, Tyrone don't frighten me. It's the excellent swarm defence and breaking at pace that is scary. JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 23/07/2018 10:54:51 2125042 Link 0 |
Tyrone do not need to beat Donegal in ballybofey or anywhere slse for that matter. I'd be happy to sneak a draw and squeeze through on scoring diff downredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 567 - 23/07/2018 10:55:35 2125044 Link 0 |
Tyrone for me, that Dublin game will bring us on a lot, it would need to as Donegal/Bonner has been waiting to put Tyrone to the sowrd when it really counts since he took over and can't wait for the chance. Home advantage is definitely a massive advantage, but no matter what spin you put on it Mc Breartys loss counter balances this. If he was playing I'd be more concerned the man was worth 5/6 points a game, indeed I would say Donegal would win if he was playing. Still not much in it, be no run away winners, just think we're farther down the line. As big Sean Cavanagh says it's like arriving in Galatasery for Tyrone! If we could just get the showers as hot as the reception we'll recive! Lol

Aye agree with ya. Can't see there being a lot in it either way. Like you say if we had a fit Paddy McBrearty we'd be slight favourites. But we can't use that as an excuse either. Others will have to step up. There are no ifs and buts anymore which is great. The focus is clear. We have two weeks to prepare for the biggest game of the year. I'm sure Declan and the lads will leave no stone unturned in their preparations. So if the boys go out and give their all that's all we can ask for. Leave nothing on the pitch and if that isn't good enough so be it. We'll tip the cap to Tyrone and wish them the best in the semi finals. But in saying that, I think we have the ability and the experience to beat Tyrone at the same time. Should be a cracker! Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9154 - 23/07/2018 13:02:57 2125151 Link 0 |
Another massive game especially considering the winner doesn't see a Dublin Kerry or Mayo waiting for them In the semi final, a massive chance to get to the All Ireland final here. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 23/07/2018 13:13:53 2125164 Link 1 |
It is indeed a big chance for the winner of this game to get to an All-Ireland final. If I am correct one semi final is going to be between the winners of Tyrone/Donegal and Galway/Monaghan. These 4 teams will fancy their chances and dont think there would be a hell of a lot between them. Getting ahead of ourselves a bit but the prize is big for the winner. On current form you would have to make Tyrone slight favourites but home advantage for Donegal has to count for something. Very hard game to call.

Donegal are brilliant in Ballybo, they have a neck for kicking very long range points there. cacsmckilly (Tyrone) - Posts: 1294 - 23/07/2018 16:10:31 2125292 Link 0 |
