Donegal by 4 points.

It will be great to see Dublin fall at the final hurdle yet again.

Raining here now in the Capital with 2 hours to go to throw-in.

Will suit the Metropolitan's insudtrial style of play but despite this Donegal can still do it.

Hope it's a good day out for Dub and Donegal folk alike and may the best team with !!!

Think we will see an attempted forcing of a late throw-in by Dubs fans lingering in the pub to avoid the rain and finish their 11th pint before the game !

Donegal to win by 4 , can't see Dublin's forwards getting any leeway against the Donegal defence plus Dublins record in All semi finals is pretty poor of late.

the commentators keep talkin about a poor quality game but its better than watching open football and having kerry winning comfortably

Deep sigh. Both of these teams are playing safety first, neither side has the quality players to play attacking football.

With over 25 minutes gone, this is undoubtedly one of the worst games of football I've ever seen. Maybe it's time for the GAA to act and try to do something about blanket defending, from a neutrals viewpoint, this match is pure mince !

What absolute tripe. This is not football! Donegal are the first ever team I've seen to play nobody up front. Here's hoping for some football in the second half.

Am stuck listening to this on the radio in the US. And if the commentary is anything to go by, it's an altogether BRUTAL game. Donegal killing the game with blanket defense, and Dublin totally clueless. And this is a semi??

Say what you like about Connacht football, but at least we play football; I don't know what sport this is, but maybe Declan Kidney might want to replace some of his chokers with some of the lads playing today!

watching open football and having kerry winning comfortably

I really hope Kerry win the All-Ireland. Donegal may be fellow Ulstermen but I would hate to see every county in Ulster trying to replicate this sh*t.

This is definitely the worst game of football I have seen in the modern era. Two blanket defences completely ruining the game and Dubs still havent scored from play approaching half time. The ref has been giving Dublin everything including the only two scores they have. Donegal should be out of sight the way the Dubs are playing. Kerry will win the final by a cricket score. Horrible stuff to watch.

Can anyone else hear a phantom whistle every time Donegal get inside the Dublin half..? Despicable..

RoyalClass (Meath) - Posts: 789 - 28/08/2011 16:09:42    1020707

New rule starting from next year's league, no forwards allowed inside their own 40.

This is absolutely horrndous stuff. This is not football. If Donegal win this game I hope Kerry absolutely hammers them in the final so we will never have to watch a team defend with 15 players again.

Dublin no points from play and only 2 points in total! The whole Donegal ploy is to stop Dublin playing. Pure tripe football. For the good of the game Donegal need to be beaten out the gate in the 2nd half. Unfortunately it's hard to see this happen.

Shocking stuff to watch.
Donegal have no interest in playing football.
