Ah SamOnErrigal, this isnt a thing. In fact i would say its the other way around, been to all the dubs games this year, and seen the half backs (mccarthy & mcaffrey) being blocked from off the ball runs numerous times.

I don't think Donegal will have to worry about any perceived tactic, as ye will have that many players tackling a man in possession at all times with your mass defensive system.

I would be more worried about our pace if I was you.... ;o)

Sure in the past couple of years, Donegal have won the same amount of all Irelands as Dublin. Nothing between the two teams.

All I've heard from the Donegal team and supporters is how they're coming down to put the city folk in their place and the Dubs team is only made up of kids anyway.

Fair play to yis.

I think Donegal will be picking up plenty of cards in this game. Hopefully the ref doesn't allow himself to be intimidated by the Donegal team, something which they're famous for doing when it comes to referees.

All the best of luck to Donegal, Minor, and Senior, and to Declan, Jim, on Sunday. Go on Boys go for it. I have said on here before that i did not think the Senior s had a chance, but the closer it gets to the game i feel Jim and the Boy s will pull it off, we all know Dublin are some team, the best group of GAA Footballer s ever, i would even say better than the Kerry, Dublin team s of the 70S, we Donegal have nothing to lose, written off by every1, this i feel will, might push the Boy s on with 10 mins to go. even if Donegal win, this Dublin team will still be around for year s.

BangBang, you must have 15 Angels lining out for Dublin this Sunday? Diarmuid Connolly, Eoghan O'Gara and co wouldn't be known for their softness. The 5 minutes of continuous fouling you guys needed to beat Mayo last year is fresh in my mind. Nonetheless, your awesome football should prevail on Sunday more than anything.

I hope Dublin absolutely annihilate Donegal in this one.

I also hope Jim McGuinness looses all his studs as well.

Whatever floats your boat 4KH. I suppose if you can't do the job yourself get someone else to do it.

Don't worry Derryman, we will put up a better show against Dublin than you guys did in the league final anyway, no danger of that sort of shambles.

They didn't bother at all against Armagh & in a previous game named Darragh O'Connor who is 5' 4" in midfield.

To the Dublin lads
The article was in yesterday's Belfast paper--- The Irish News, a great paper for GAA especially Ulster football

One last thing lads, I did not accuse Dublin of anything, what I said ---- an article in The Irish News.
Also read Dara o Shea in the Irish Times , what nonsense he talks at times. He must think Dublin are the only physical team around---- talking about opposing players not being able to throw the likes of MDMA, bb Dc and p Flynn around. Well we have big men and all , m Murphy, N Gallagher, N and E McGee and most of us are over 6 ft tall Both sets of players will take hard hits on Sunday, Donegal will be well able to take them, so will Dublin.

Fair play to Jimmy for getting the Celtic game moved earlier. Should be a good Donegal crowd now.

Are Utd and Liverpool playing on Sunday? What time have the Dubs told the GAA they will be there at after their first loves have finished playing?

Hehe, and you go on a rant because someone questioned your county, seriously you should take an interest in Antrim and stoping sucking up to the other Ulster counties. Although I think a few of the Antrim boys were fed up with your moaning also.
