QuoteThe 6 "big" teams left in the last 12 and more than likely they will be in the last 8 .... season getting serious the first weekend in August!
Already Monaghan have lost the Ulster final and are ploughing through the qualifiers
I can't remember the last time Donegal beat Monaghan in the championship. I don't know what voodoo we have but Donegal are just powerless when faced with it.
Last week I listened to the last 10 minutes of Roscommon v Tyrone on Shannonside, the commentator, a Spike Milligan on acid, kept shouting that 'Roscommon are dying with their boots on' ..... 'Roscommon are dying with their boots on' ...... 'Roscommon are dying with their boots on' with the odd reference to putting the tractor pedal to the floor.
In between those shouts of defiance, I gathered that Roscommon were coughing up possession, missing point chances and giving away fouls.

Three of the 4th round wrong Armagh, Wexford and Derry - you need lessonsOriginally Posted by BonnieShels
Unbelievable set of results yesterday. Let's re-evaluate...Three of the 4th round wrong Armagh, Wexford and Derry - you need lessons
EDIT: What's the point? Clearly this is a mental Championship.

DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
I give up.
Monaghan were brilliant. Donegal look knackered.

We are the champions.
Triple crown actually, minor and ladies senior cups already in the creaky, rust infected cabinet.
This is going to be fun - should Donegal, Cork and Tyrone come through next weekend, there is going to be some Q Finals now. I have to admit the big '6' is now a 7! ...... Fair play Monaghan .... some physical strength ..... the full forward was class as was the no 7!
Was it just me or did Monaghan look a little too pumped up? Unfair ?
Nr 7 ? The one and only Dessie Mone, sweeper supreme today, intelligent positioning, good blocking, smart tackling, always available to receive the pass and drive forward, he does get upset when his face is touched.
Inside knowledge there
They Donegalled donegal in fairest - fair play to them .....
Hope you put some money on it...Already Monaghan have lost the Ulster final and are ploughing through the qualifiers

Cracking day out.
Meanwhile Laois and Donegal will battle it out in Carrick-on-Shannon at 5pm

Donegal were p!sh. I don't watch much GAA these days, but it was simply a superb Monaghan performance against a completely flat and terrible Donegal.
Can't see Monaghan getting much further really, but time will tell. Laois could spring a surprise against Donegal next week unless things dramatically chance for Jim and co.
The hundreds of excuses I'm hearing up here are laughable. Most people blaming the referee, even though I thought the ref handled things very well for the most part.
The big complaint now, is that Carrick-on-shannon holds little more than 9,000 people, and the Donegal county board have come out and said Donegal would fill it alone, and they should change the venue and all this crap.
Most of the bandwagoners are already complaining that Jim McGuinness has lost it..

Looking forward to Sunday.
Hopefully revenge is on the cards for last September.
3 tight games to call & a walkover for Kerry.
Monaghan, Dublin, Kerry, Donegal.

Tyrone, Dublin, Kerry and Mayo
I missed the Tyrone game but heard it was poor, Mayo and the Dubs were very impressive and Kerry only played for half a game again so on that performance they wont threaten Dublin . The old saying " you need to lose one before winning one" might well apply to Mayo who are now favourites to lift Sam this year.
