That's right there should be no fear although 3 point win is a bit of an edge of your seat score

Huge game. In fairness if you offered us this all Ireland semi final at start of year we'd taken it and Tyrone would be of a similar mind. Tyrone huge favourites after that second half today so hopefully that will suit us.

We've had our problems against Tyrone at this end of the championship in recent years, but I think we're well placed to win this and I'd be confident enough. We've already beaten them this year and the younger players on the team have more experience of winning big games now. We've also won the two times we've played in Croker this year, even if the Dubs game was a dead rubber it was still a valuable experience for us.

Tyrone are never easy and I'm sure it will be a tight aul game anyway, but no reason we shouldn't be able to get the win next weekend.

Hopefully Hughes will leave McCann s hair alone this time round

Monaghan should be more able to stay with Tyrone.
Donegal looked out on their feet at 70 mins.

I hope we have Lee Brennan to call on again next week. He lifted the whole team when he came on and is a handful for any defence. I think it'll be a tight game but I'm confident we can get the result. I think we have the better bench to run out and that's what made the difference today. Mc Geary,Brennan and Loughran all came in and did a great job for us and Rory Brennan put on a great performance also when replacing Mc Kiernan who was black carded early. Big Collie was superb and I'd expect more from Sludden next day out and thought Peter Harte got more involved in the second half. Wee Bradley did ok also in spells. Delighted to be in all ireland semis again and I know Monaghan are too and should be a great battle.

Would rather play Monaghan in croker than anywhere else...run the legs of them. They generally are becoming an irritant a bit like a clag fly that won't go away . However one more defeat by the red hands should see them off for good ....sent out to pasture like the men from the hills.

Very proud of Tyrone, we finished the stronger with the bench scoring 2-5 , which leaves us with many options to work with . Our fitness is immense , which will play to great strengths in croke park . Hard luck Donegal btw , some great young players there .

Got to love being written off yet again. Malachy to get his match ups right yet again.

Want and expect a Monaghan win here. They deserve a chance at SAM. Great team with great fans.

Don't think either team can claim a physical or psychological advantage here. I think it will come down to who wants it more and getting tactics right on the day. This in my view is where we should have enough of an advantage to see us home by 2 or 3 points
