If Connolly had his shooting boots on, this game would be out of sight already, the goal is coming though

Donegal playing the exact same way Meath did against Dublin.Far too concerned with not letting in a goal,but what is the plan after that??

5 points down, but feels like a 15 point deficit such has been the utter dominance of the Blue Juggernaut. The point near the sideline from Andrews was the highlight of a number of jaw dropping moments from Dublin in the 1st half

The last few minutes the Donegal lads look out on their feet which Dublin will exploit even more in the 2nd half

I'm dreading what awaits us on the 28th........................

Donegal had a chance to push on with 25mins to go and they didn't.

The goal really sprung Donegal back into life (what was Cluxton at charging out at McGee with defenders coming across??) but in truth, Dublin should have won by a lot more.

Dublin will account for Kerry in the semi final.

Similar to last years Final, that was the most one-sided 5 point game I've ever seen, a man down for half the game and still the result never in doubt

Even with 13 men Dublin still looked eons ahead, God help Kerry in three weeks is all I can say at this moment

The 4 Regions will benefit from that tough test against Donegal. Remarkably consistent since '05. There's been no sign of any other team being consistently better since '09.

I burst out laughing after Kilkenny claimed that great catch in midfield and then proceeded to sprint as fast as he could with the ball back towards his own goals.

Dublin were only taking the piss today, the only trouble they had in todays match was the trouble they caused for themselves and they won't be so sloppy again.

The continuous keep ball from Dublin is Donegals fault as they decided not to pressure them into having to do something with the ball.

Ciaran Kilkeny was pure class over 50 possessions in a game of this magnitude and he was directing things like an basketball point guard.

The only team who will beat Dublin this year is Dublin.

Dubs were certainly out of it in second half, again Connolly for all of his brilliance, (best player in country Imo) let the demons get to him. That been said some very undubs play let Donegal back into game, fair play to Donegal for keeping it to 5'points, that's a good achievement.

Well done to the Dubs. Very impressive win. Be hard to stop.
