That's the same Donegal team.
And the way that Dublin approached it, like, obviously, we're talking about the spirit that they had, boys stepping up.
tactically I thought Gerrard Brennan was a masterclass that's the other thing Dublin look like a team you have a manager on the sidelines again can't get away from that the last two weeks they've been completely different than they have been 12 weeks before that but if you look at how Donegal over the last two games against Kerry have routinely run them into the ground because Kerry man on man push up and Donegal love that
Whereas the courage and the organisation of Dublin to stand off, to let a like of Conor O'Donnell or Padder Mogan run free and pass him off, and Dublin staying in their positions and not buying into what Donegal are selling them, and eventually turning them over to those interceptions that we're talking about then, it only comes from being well drilled.
And then the other thing is as well, like the second half, Dublin were...
way on top of Donegal but they missed so much chances they kept going forward kept intercepting the ball going forward missing easy chances and every time the camera cut to Ger Brennan complete calm like he wasn't wearing it like another manager would wear it like the weight of the world is on me like why aren't these players doing what I need them to do and if anybody could feel that it's Ger Brennan but he's just completely calm the whole time I think
but we're like in year two here in McGuinness this should almost be the sweet spot you would think where they would almost be about to like different game different game right now like you know year three of McGuinness and second year of the new rules like so this is is it year three of McGuinness and Andy hasn't helped himself with if you look at the subs like Colm's right he looked at the subs but he's had three years now to try and find more players don't want to find guidance come on now he's had a big impact in this knockout match but Donegal are bringing off players and they're bringing the same players back onto the pitch again
Three years in, these new rules, he's talking about 30-35%.
He can't be.
It's not a good idea for a manager to bring on the same players in who have been running to the ground that he's saying that we're asking too much of them.
Why is he going back to those players?
There must be other players on his bench, albeit they might not look as good, but surely the legs would be better.
And he said something after that I do worry about for Donegal in the long term where he said...
you don't have as much control anymore now we can sort of assume that anyway like you know when you look in you look at mcginney you look at mcginnis they want to control the game and they want to be able to have their stamp on it and stop it being a game of piggery stop it being chaos i think was a word that jim mcginnis used as well they want to be able to control every facet of it where you have to relinquish that a little bit you have to give it over to the players
You have to prepare for that as well now.
You have to have a deeper squad.
You have to be prepared for it.
And like you say, last year it wasn't a problem.
They won Ulster.
They were in the preliminary quarterfinal actually against Lowes as well and they won that.
