"We're getting carried away with Dublin" - McEntee

Former Armagh star Tony McEntee believes Dublin are over-hyped.

The 2002 All-Ireland winner points out that the Dubs have yet to be asked any real questions this year:

"I think we're getting carried away with Dublin, completely carried away," the ex-Crossmaglen Rangers boss notes in The Irish News. "It is well documented that they haven't played a Division One team.

"A Division One team against a Division Two team will always look better and play better. I think Mayo or Kerry have a realistic chance of beating this Dublin team.

"There are a lot of questions that Dublin haven't been asked yet. It's just whether Donegal are in a position to ask those questions.

"I think Donegal will set up to counter-attack Dublin. The first thing to do is to try and deny Dublin primary possession.

"If the Dublin full-forward line doesn't receive primary possession, then their runners are ineffective. They can run all they want but they can't feed off ball that's not there."
