The Road To Sam 2012

Donegal not at their best today, Michael Murphy was quiet, but experience and greater fitness saw Donegal through.
I wonder will Kerry be as good again, as they were last night v Tyrone, A lot of of emotion, their recent history against Mickey Harte's side, Home venue in Killarney all played their part. But can Kerry raise their game again??

Two goals in as many minutes for The Dubs v Meath, Game over.

great performance by dún na ngall, aparently ciarraís goal was square ball. thats what they said on the tv anyway. This may be the top of the hill for this ciarraí team, and jack too. Who knows where dún na ngall can get to this year?

The last five minutes of that game were intense - my Kerry-descended wife was very unhappy, and I was delighted! I'm going to dig out my Donegal shirt to wear around Cork when I'm back in a couple of weeks...

Someone asked on facebook if Laois was just a reservoir for Dublin "Did they not flood the place years ago"...

[Ah Well]

Great result .. Corkonians like nothing better than seeing Kerry losing and Spillane post-moaning. Well done Donegal!

Going very nicely indeed ... Cork don't do beating Kerry in Croker (some mental complex or other ) but I reckon they are well in with a shout against Donegal

The double is still on - lol ... Corcaigh abu

If both teams turn up and perform it should be a cracking intense match alright. My loyalties are with Donegal but it really could go either way. Whoever survives will almost certainly lift Sam this year.

As a Dub I hope you're wrong, but the way Dublin are playing this year I would be inclined to agree. Hopefully Dublin are leaving their best until last. We should see an improvement in the semi's from them, but as they haven't been properly tested in the championship (while some matches were close, Dublin never looked likely to lose them), we don't know if they can step up a gear if needed.

Spot on Dub, the lack of intensity could cost yous in the semi. i fancy mayo to do it for exactly those reasons. On the other side, its gonna be a cracker. As far as i can tell nearly everyone is going for cork but i dont think they've faced any credible opposition so far. Ok they beat ciarraí a few months ago, but then clare and a poor cill dara side. In any case its gonna be fascinating.

1 thing people are forgetting, dún na ngall held cork to 6 points in the league, even though cork were obviously taking the league quite seriously.

Pat meets Jim!
