I think Mayo had it to easy up to now, Donegal to tough for them.

Its going to be interesting to see who eventually prevails, I think Mayo will do it, there is a hunger about them, but it will be a sharp tasty game.

Its do or die for Mayo. This is what they'll have been building to all year. I expect them to beat Donegal. Donegal's only impressive game this year came against Tyrone. Since then its been stop start and they're not the same animal they were last year especially since McHugh and Lacey haven't been playing well.

Mayo by 5 or 6.

Donegal to win. then a Tyrone Donegal Semi. that would be a cracker. There has to be fireworks to give us value for money. a game needs a spark or two and that wud certainly give us that. Brolly would have a field day.

My word, Donegal aren't built to chase big leads, let's see if they have anything left in them!

Great start by Mayo, terrific goal, no let up, McGlynn took a savage hit. This is going to be a war, another goal there! Trying to catch my breath.

McGloughlin just threw a dig at a player....while on the ground....should have saw red.

Mark McHugh playing very well after not a 5mm but a 5cm tear in his hamstring 2 weeks ago!!! Surely its quite dangerous to have Mark playing today Jimmy? I think someone might have been telling fibs

McQuillan should throw on a Donegal jersey

Donegal lads look like they're just trying to get through this.

Looking very good for Mayo.

Well i said it after the ulster final, donegal are burned out and burnedd out they are. Mayo for the final where they will get beaten by Dublin. The most obvious al on years.

Tyrone would not let Mayo have any shots.. their tackle count would be through the roof

Mayo = awesome

Will Donegal bother coming out in the second half.... Its bad it could be worse...

Mayo carving up Donegal should have had two more goals. All Mayo now 12 point lead, Donegal shell shocked at half-time, will Jim pick em up? Mayo seem to have Donegal in a death grip.

Writing's been on the wall for Donegal since the Down game. As Hayes said before, you need to be 20% better the following year after winning the All Ireland. Mayo's intensity and sharpness up front is very admirable. Donegal's key players aren't clicking at all.

Thought Mayo might have been caught cold but you can really see the hunger that's there. Dublin are the only team this year that look to be anywhere near their level.

Donegal fans leaving Croke Park already that's the band wagon heading to the hills no way to support your team.
