And how many off them were scored when Down had 12 players in the Donegal half to counter your 'new' attacking style RB  I would hazard a guess that at least 5 off them points were scored when Down literally gave up after the 2nd goal as cant remember what the score was then but know it put 6 between us and Dublin have a fully fit team at the minute as well.

Also dont think croke park officials would let you's away with a lot off the off the ball stuff you's were getting up to either when playing the darling dubs 

Incredible for amateur athletes.

 

Tipped Dublin at the start but think Donegal are their biggest threat.

 

Dublin another side that have been known to train twice a day over the past few years.

Is that what the GAA has become now, get a team superbly conditioned and reap the rewards?

There aren't many players in the Dublin or Donegal teams that you would pay to watch, no real genius footballers of the Canavan, Gooch or Greg Blaney ilk

 

 

 

 

mayo definitely the team everyone wants in the quarters.. lovely....

 

still whipping them over for crossmolina baggio , think he got a few on sunday.

 

id have to ban everyone on the site then  

 

and of curse you are wrong as usual , mayo can and will win an all-ireland, we have the players and we have the hunger, i am hoping we have the manager.

 

 

we'll only know whether we have that after we've won it

donegal trasin something like 12 times a week that is including their own gym work. they have been doing their gym programs since turn off the year which sees them in the gym 3 times a week at 7.00 am and then they train in the evenings again. they train at my club in the soring time so have been lucky to see them train first hand and i can tell you these lads are getting their rewards now for all the hard work they have put it over the last 2 years. just a thought came to my mind jim mcguiness has managed a donegal time in ulster for the last 3 years (u21 and senior level) and he has won an ulster title all 3 years he also took the u21s to an all ireland final which they were the width of a crossbar from winning. think this shows the capabilities he has as a manager but rory gallagher doesnt get the credit he deserves for this success. i will be happy with anyone but kerry from the draw on saturday 

 

+1

 

 

 

Brogan (Bernard) is top class, wouldnt have him in the genius category like the Gooch all the same

 

who said i hate the Dubs?

After speaking to a good few folk I seriously doubt if Down will bring more than 3-4K to the game tomorrow as most people have no appetite to travel that far after last weeks travels as cant be arsed driving meself and was seeing if there was a lift going but no one is bothering. 

If ever there was a game to televise so as not to effect the match attendance it is Down v Tipp as only the die hards who wouldnt miss a match(even league and mckenna cup games) will be in attendance imo

I have of larry Tompkins don't worry another example you could give would be billy joe padden want me to carryon because as you say players have moved counties for years. 1 difference though is they have lived and worked in these counties before moving. Johnston did not and playing 45 seconds of a hurling game to qualify to play don't remember larry having to do that. Done gals style wasn't pretty last year but funny it's main critic in Spillane is now done gals main fan wonder what he would say about the Johnston saga. We might of played ugly football but case what no one in Donegal cared we won an ulster title and we didn't feel ashamed to support them on the another hand many Kildare fans I know are ashamed of what went on with they own county this year and think more people in 50 years will remember johnstons saga than donegals 2011 tactics Posted By: the_walls Date Posted: 28 Jul 2012 at 6:24pm Donegal's football last year was shocking to look at and was brutal for a neutral but Donegal werent playing for the neutrals or the football purists.

Last year Donegal's games were brutal to watch from a football point of view but fascinating at the same time.I wanted them to go out as well toward the latter stages,however they have kept the defensive style they had last year and improved their forward play.They can do something I have rarely seen work before in Gaelic football,defend a lead.If they are a couple of points up I think they let the other team attack knowing that it will most likely end in a turnover.They are a serious prospect for Sam this year,nobody has figured a way to unlock their defense even in theory.
