    Gutted. What a hopeless second half display. Really think James McCartan should consider his position. The baffling decision to start his younger brother Daniel when he has been hopeless all season, then continuing with him to the bitter end. Subbing Benny Coulter off at ht then subbing him back on, clueless stuff. It was a training session for Donegal in the second half.

    At least Meath had a bit of fight about them.

    Rant over, onwards to Tipperary

    Very impressed with Donegal lately. They took some stick last year for being way too cagey but they look very dangerous this year. Down did not play well but I would expcet them to beat Tipp easily and to be honest I think on their day they could upset any of the big guns.

    Donegal haven't played anyone of note yet.

    Seriously I think Tyrone have gone and have been gone since about June 2009. Down have just lost too many players to really hurt them. Everything up until now has been shadow boxing.

    Very disappointed in Ambrose Rodgers. One of the best MFs in the country on his day, played woeful the whole game. And the constant spreading the ball to the right for Conor Lavery to drop <doh> few wides at the start and the confidence in shooting for points just evapourated. constant passing of the buck among the forward line hoping for a foul and easy free, but ultimately just making mistakes and losing possession, a good example being Conor Maginns wayward pass that led to their second goal

    Taken from the Tyrone website.

    One GAA Family United in Respect

    Long after the thousands had left Fitzgerald Stadium last Saturday evening our Tyrone team was getting ready for a bitter journey home. Around 500 Kerry people remained outside the changing area – men and women, old and young. As our people started to board their coach a ripple of applause met them. That ripple grew and grew and for long minute after long minute just went on and on and on.

    When Mickey Harte appeared, a cheer of support went up. As the coach headed down through Killarney hundreds on the pavements took over where the others left off, warmly applauding Tyrone. There is no doubt that Ireland lost a lot and took a lot of wrong turns in the last few years. But if you wanted your faith in decency, respect, honour and dignity restored, then Killarney at about eight o’clock last Saturday evening was the place to be.

    Inspirational. Unforgettable. Classy.
