Pat Spillane

from an article that was in a newspaper and online in several locations on the 4th of March.

A fellow called Mr. Pat Spillane explains why a dark horse he would include as an all-Ireland contender down.

And I will quote, they will take a couple of big scalps in this year's championship.

Can I just say, look, can I just say, I'm obviously, look, I'm obviously...

I'm obviously very disappointed, look, because to be quite honest, you know, I live by the mantra of fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

And I'm obviously very disappointed to hear that my fellow contributor has only watched the first half on the phone and got to see the second half.

So as somebody who has watched it several times.

As someone who has watched it several times.

I'm less worried I can race play it.

So as somebody who has watched it several times and knows exactly what happened in the entire 70 minutes, can I just give my tuppence what?

Like I said, let's give credit to Down first because there's an inclination that we will focus on Donegal and why they lost.

Down produced a masterclass tactically.

We said, for several reasons.

We said they went at, they retained their own kick outs successfully.

Secondly, they turned over.

Their defensive play was brilliant.

Their tagging of Donegal's players was unbelievable.

Donegal never got the separation.

Despite all the angles of running, despite all the support play, they tagged them.

There was no separation.
