Replying To ORIELMAN85:  "Just arrived in "The Hills" for the weekend. The decorating of the county is a credit to ye. The best I have ever seen. To all the Donegal posters I agree with, and to the ones I argue with, enjoy tomorrow and hopefully Sam is in Donegal come Monday night."
No better place for the weekend. Make sure you stay for the Party on Monday night.

Replying To Lockjaw:  "I'm sitting on some rocks looking out at the Wild Atlantic Way as I write this, my last post before the big game tomorrow. The views are absolutely stunning. The coast, the islands & the mountains providing a stunning vista that us, na muintir Thír Chonaill are so rightly proud of.

We're also very proud of our team of course. They represent us so brilliantly. Hard working, honest & bucket loads of skill and talent to go with it. They've taken a long road to get where they need to, kind of like so many Donegal people who have travelled the world.

I wish them nothing but the best tomorrow. We will be down to the capital in force to support them. It will not be easy, but by God we will not be found wanting when it comes to voice, effort and commitment.

In a very close, emotionally draining encounter, I predict us to come out on top.

Donegal 1-24 - 1-21 Kerry

Sage travels to all. Mind yourselves!"
Safe travels all. Cannot wait til that moment the men line up behind the band and the teams march around the ground to a sea of colour,anticipation and excitement.

Final prediction.

Donegal to score between 22-25 points
Kerry (minus Clifford to score 14-16 points and then its down to Brendan McCole to try and keep Clifford below the 6-8 range.

That most likely will be the difference. Basically squeaky bum time for all.

I can see Donegal in the attack at the death with McBrearty with the ball in his hands and shooting to decide the game. I just hope it goes over the bar.

Until Victory Always
Donegal Abú

Not at the races today. Terrible performance all round and not even attempting a couple 2 points is a joke. Embarrassing

Donegal lost out tactically in the first half. Too much room around the arc. There was just too much to do in the second half

Hard luck Donegal. Kerry won it on the kick outs. They kept getting them especially in the first half.

Donegal were really out of sorts. Huffed and puffed and looked very leggy and flat. Kerry turned over quite a bit of possession and ran them ragged at times. Here's the question. Were Donegal over trained? Did they leave it on the training pitch? It looked like it.

lol at a Monaghan lad looking to stir. You'll never get to a final lad. Not when your best and only good player is a keeper.

Strange tactics all round. McGee should have started. Paddy was shocking. Ryan not at the races. Handy frees kept it in touching distance for awhile. But 10 points flattered us.
