Precisely. The scoreline flattered us, I have no qualms in saying that. We were nervous throughout and didn't make a contest of it. This experience will stand to us. We're capable of better. Ned_Stormcrow (Cavan) - Posts: 1071 - 23/06/2019 17:31:54 2199103 Link 1 |
Dubs regularly play 12/13 behind ball and transition well with pace, Donegal after getting rid of Gallagher show they have the players to play that way too. Don't know if we will be good enough to beat dubs, but we are definitely improving.

Yep. Our kickouts have been our glaring weakness all year, even against yourselves and especially against Armagh in the replay. I sincerely hope Mickey looks at this and recognises that a change between the posts is needed. Ned_Stormcrow (Cavan) - Posts: 1071 - 23/06/2019 17:39:02 2199116 Link 0 |

Pure puke from Donegal. Rotten stuff. Wouldn't watch it from my back yard. Same old crud that Gallagher and McGuiness promoted . Bonner has capitulated and done a huge u-turn. Fair play to Harte for sticking with Tyrone's attacking game despite losing to Donegal because basically he knows it's only way to beat Dublin. Harte may not have the players but he understands that playing 100% blanket counter attacking football guarantees you a massive unpopularity amongst Gaelic community but worse than that it guarantees a runners up medal .

Hard luck Cavan and well done to Donegal. Having watched Dublin V Meath at least there was a contest of some kind to watch. Gator (Monaghan) - Posts: 238 - 23/06/2019 18:00:30 2199149 Link 0 |
Sore loser. Hit 1-24, take off the bitter glasses you're wearing

Well done Donegal. never in doubt from the first throw-in. We were too tentative and nervous and as usual we won few if any of our own kickouts when Donegal pushed up (or even if they didn't). Donegal are a serious outfit and looking forward to seeing them in the super 8. Our season is over I'm afraid. s goldrick (Cavan) - Posts: 5518 - 23/06/2019 18:22:20 2199185 Link 1 |

True - first ball into Murphy - he catches the ball and is running into the corner, back to goal and Clarke pushes him - smart play every time is to take the foul - not a question of cynical more a case of who was smart the player - the with the 21 yard free or the player who pushed one of the most s curate free takers this decade -when he wasn't set up to score ?

Appreciate Killian Clarke was given the task of marking Murphy but he was so intent on getting a late shoulder in long after Murphy released the ball it seemed like he was missing the direction of play / leaving a motorway of space where he should have been ruanua (Donegal) - Posts: 4966 - 23/06/2019 19:16:15 2199243 Link 0 |
Donegal a serious outfit????? We scored 2-16 against them. They a very good side but they no serious outfit. Look what Dublin conceded against Meath. That's a serious outfit. Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 23/06/2019 20:02:42 2199304 Link 0 |
Impressive performance today where any fear of complacency soon put to bed. Never thought it would be an issue myself given past final losses. Still feel there is improvement in this team and hard not be excited. The attacking talent can match anybody and we are mixing it up meaning not predictable something some Donegal sides have been guilty of. Going one step further than last year had to be the immediate aim and I would be confident of doing so. I think with Rochford on board tactically we are on another level from previous years. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2779 - 23/06/2019 20:10:48 2199310 Link 0 |

The game was over after 20 minutes. Donegal wiped the floor with Cavan in that time. 2.4 of the Cavan total came when Donegal had packed up for the day. A serious outfit? We will see when they play a serious opposition. But I thought they looked class in 3rd gear today MadgeKing (Cavan) - Posts: 493 - 23/06/2019 20:16:13 2199318 Link 1 |
Cavan clearly had stage fright in the first half today, so much poor decision making and execution. GallantJohnJoe (Cavan) - Posts: 329 - 23/06/2019 20:22:22 2199330 Link 0 |
The game was basically over when we tagged on those goals, not unlike our 5-18 to 2-17 defeat to Tyrone in that semi final replay 3 years. Hard to analyse the last 20 minutes or so at all properly, the game was long over as a meaningful contest.

Thanks Ned, but I wasn't seeking your affirmation.
