It's mad now when you see results of a game that you've not been able to watch, see the upset which gets you excited for a moment and then realise it doesn't really matter that much (am not doing Donegal down here, I just don't like the system now).

Delighted for yous ringer. Derry will be back through.
Enjoying this Roscommon Mayo match mainly thanks to the ref not blowing it every 2 seconds. Credit to him. Cavan had a Golden opportunity to sink Tyrone but he fisted over. When you haven't beaten a team in forever you can't be fisting it over.

Delighted with the result yesterday had full belief that jim and the boys would win yesterday this donegal team is a lot better than they were been portrayed by 99% of the media in the lead up to the game. Derry only beat that side after extra time 2 years ago and only players missing from the donegal side were Murphy and mcgee and the rest of the fellas have 2 more years in them in terms of s&c and county experience
Derry on the other hand are been slightly over hyped in my honest opinion yes,they won back to back ulster titles the previous 2 years but 1 of them was won on penalties and the other after extra time. Alot was made of their league final win but as has been seen in previous years league and championship are 2 different challenges altogether The challenge now for donegal is back that performance up next weekend in the semi final. Hopefully pattons injury isn't too bad and we might get a few others back also. Jim will have a serious squad to pick from when everyone is fit

Wouldn’t call it a “soft” pen, clear foul? Or do you mean it was outside the box? McConville just explained doesn’t matter if the ref deemed it a clear goalscoring opportunity but I’ve no idea on the rules any more Huge win for Donegal in terms of belief, will be tough now to recover and be anywhere near that level again next weekend but brilliant especially for the young lads. I thought Jason McGee came of age, finally showing the talent everyone within the county knew he had Would agree on Derry though, will do them no harm in reality and especially the nature of the goals they gave away, they can go away and work relentlessly on that for the All-Ireland series and to be frank I still expect a Derry-Dublin All-Ireland final (draw depending)

Jimmy's winning matches!
Pity Sligo and cork couldn't pull off upsets as well.

Derry are flat here, don't seem up for it or bothered that they're going out of Ulster.
Keeper been lobbed twice and also a soft penalty for Donegal. You get a few weeks extra off if you go out to get ready for AI group stages. Harte always went out of Ulster early with Tyrone and then progressed through the back door. Maybe this is one for the conspiracy theory thread

Yeah I agree. While Louth beat them in the league, and in general had a much better league then Kildare, I think the threat of no back door could be good motivation for Kildare. Then again going down and having a good run like Meath last year could do them good. I thought the better would have been even enough at 10/11 each.

Louth should be winning that match given the way this year has gone for Kildare. Louth 8/13 to win. No backdoor for Kildare if they get beaten.

I know and that's my point. If a team like Meath/Westmeath/Kildare who've reached a few finals more recently get there nobody's going to go to see a Dublin hiding. But last year under Harte Louth reach the final for the first time since 2010. Hype through the roof brought a huge crowd and they were all swiftly reminded why nobody goes to matches Vs Dublin anymore. If they reach the final this year the crowd they bring will drop dramatically and after another hiding they'll disappear for any future finals Vs Dublin.

I could see Louth beating Kildare to reach another final this year also.

The attendances will surely get even worse especially if they persist with an April championship? The only way it can improve is if Dublin are beaten one year before the final or a team like Louth go on a run and reach the final for the first time in years.
