Replying To Mullerm: "I think we will beat Donegal next Saturday quite easily. We experimented during league and things didnt go our way against Donegal. Peader Healy is putting his own stamp and along with additions of Alan Cadogan and Aidan Walsh I think we are coming into form at the right time. In fairness Donegal key players are over the hill and i expect us to be win by 6-8 points. This not arrogance. I just think Cork football season will start now." fair play! I admire your confidence. I, too, am confident. Not as openly confident as you but I would take a one point win if t was offered. I would not say that Donegal players are over the hill. Odhran MacNiallas has been their best player and he is still only a pup. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 26/07/2016 15:25:13 1890455 Link
Cork are a funny side, peculiar that is, not HA HA. On occasions they can look like world beaters but most of the time they look like panel beaters. A very moody, Greta Garbo 'I want to be alone' type of a county who turn up if their hair is sitting right or if the wind is blowing the right way. Donegal need to start getting Michael Murphy into the big games if they are going to progress, he is absolutely wasted at the minute and looks very frustrated on the pitch. I don't think Cork have the mental strength to get through a very defensive, sloggy type of game and that's why I give Donegal the nod....just.

I expect Donegal to win this one with a bit to spare, Cork have some good forwards and an ok midfield but most of their problems are in the backs have yet to experience a team of the stature of Donegal in this years championship. seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2142 - 26/07/2016 15:33:17 1890462 Link

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "Supposedly Murphy's hips are gone and if that is true then Gallagher should play him on the edge of the square but he'l probably play him out around the middle." I don't know how to break this to you man but you've only got one hip. greatpoint (USA) - Posts: 427 - 26/07/2016 17:06:11 1890534 Link

Wonder you don't fancy them for Sam The problem is if you do beat Donegal Cork then play Dublin and the way you are talking that also should be handy enough. Then the semi with a likely meeting with Kerry Know what happens when you play Kerry in Croke park----- ye spend the rest of the year washing your togs SamOnErrigal (Donegal) - Posts: 1427 - 26/07/2016 18:14:14 1890575 Link
This is a difficult game to call, Cork have the momentum whereas Donegal have been dealt a huge psychological blow getting beat in the Ulster final. I expect Donegal to try to choke the life out of Cork. Cork have some really great players and if they hit form they are a handful. I still Donegal will win by a few points. We do actually have a good subs bench, if you take the ulster final for instance we had Leo McLoone, Colm McFadden, Christy Toye, McElhinney and Mark McHugh. We also have some excellent young players who the manager won't pick. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1874 - 26/07/2016 18:17:12 1890578 Link
cork do one thing good and that's scoring goals ala colm o neill if they get a couple of goals Donegal could be in trouble Donegal have not looked like scoring goals their players are so far out the pitch anyway cork have a few guys like Kerrigan who if running at Donegal will cause problems for the Donegal defence rhudson (Galway) - Posts: 1478 - 26/07/2016 18:42:35 1890590 Link

Replying To greatpoint: "I don't know how to break this to you man but you've only got one hip." Yes, but there are two hip joints, which I would wager make up over 95% of the problems people have with their hip. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2476 - 26/07/2016 20:29:08 1890636 Link

Donegal will win. Can't see Cork doing anything to trouble Donegal. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13710 - 26/07/2016 20:49:22 1890644 Link

Yeah Ryan McHugh, Odhran Mac Nialis and Michael Murphy should all be signing on for the pension any day now. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 26/07/2016 22:09:40 1890678 Link

Replying To tiobraid: "You could well be right in fairness but does sound a bit arrogant! Having said that, Ulster teams haven't turned up in the qualifiers and Tyrone are also hugely over hyped this year. Cork themselves have been poor though but i think should shade it" Tyrone are hugely overhyped ?? Lol ta32 (Tyrone) - Posts: 4907 - 27/07/2016 08:12:25 1890757 Link
