First match , bookies have Tyrone at 7/4 and Monaghan at 8/11 . Dont think this represents the relative ability of the respective teams , Donegal spendtrhift forwards gifted Monagan an Ulster title , and Tyrone are shorter odds for the All-Ireland outright than Monaghan on here . See this one going down to the wire , and swings on the in running market . Slight preference for Tyrone .

Mayo vs Donegal could also be a tight one .  If both teams had gone the straightforward ( winning all ) route it might be even tighter than odds suggest , but Mayo legs may be just a bit fresher .  Donegal played their best this year in the second half last match , may have regained self belief after their show against Monaghan . Would not be surprised to see this finishing even .

monaghan by 3 .mayo by 5.

i am leaning towards tyrone also.i think tyrone can man mark conor mcmanus out of the game and reduce monaghan to scores from long range and dead balls.in my view,tyrone have more skillfull footballers,have momentum and abit of belief.they will be quietly confident.a niffty 50 on tyrone -2 at 11-4 pp will do for me.

i dont see any % in the mayo/donegal game but will enjoy it,the magee and o'shea duel should be interesting.

Mayo for a comfortable 6/7 point win.
Report freddiek August 8, 2015 12:36 PM BST
Monaghan - Tyrone is the easier game to call imo. Tyrone are very reliant on Kavanagh who's past his best, in the run through the qualifiers they realy only beat teams they'd expect to beat anyway. Monaghan stronger as a team unit and have the fresher legs.

as for the second game, Mayo are a shorter price to win it than Monaghan are in the first game and i think thats wrong. Donegal finished strongly in Croke Park against Galway and that will help them today.

Gl all..hope the Deise can beat Kilkenny tomorrow as well.

that black card is absolutely laughable, how anybody can justify that decision is beyond me, the free was the other way if anything

You're up against it Freddiek, the every man behind the ball tactics are making it very tough for any team.

Tyrone should be at least 10 in front.  I don't know how it's only a 5 point game.  Monagahan have been BRUTAL

That Ciaran Mc Cann for Tyrone is a disgrace for going down like that(again) should have got the red himself.

now Mayo to beat Donegal

Pathetic match, like watching WWf or something. I don't think Tyrone will get withing 10 points of Kerry.
Report winsamsoon August 8, 2015 5:45 PM BST
It's been your typical Ulster football game from the last 10 years, actually wasn't the worst game til the last 15 min.

On to Donegal now to put the Mayo men to the sword.  A big bet on Donegal for me.  Look much the stronger team.  Not a fan of Connacht football
Report newapproach August 8, 2015 5:54 PM BST
It was painful watching Monaghan's lack of belief and the rigidity with which they stuck to their defensive system. They seem to have a serious mental block when iit comes to tyrone, they lost to limited team from there 2 years ago as well. The part where the goalkeeper decided to hit a short kick out to a tyrone player rather than hit it long summed the game up, no plan b. Then when they're 6 points down with 10 mins to go, they are camped back in their own half waiting for tyrone to come on to them. They are very luky they have a class act in Conor McManus up front.

Mayo to win by six here I think. Donegal look a tired team in their last few games. I hope Donegal play Murphy full forward and kick it long but I doubt it.

Tyrone too cute for a pedestrian Monaghan team . Not a bad match up to last 15 minutes , but players need to be more disciplined , and authorities need to beef up on the sort of messy behaviour displayed by both sides in last quarter in particular .
Report Kriskin August 8, 2015 6:40 PM BST
That goal was crucial for Mayo right on HT.  Donegal have been ordinary but were still in the game at 7 - 6 down

Donegal 0-6 - 1-7 Mayo

Another so called tight game being one sided.  Mayo too good

donegal are a tired team,none of their big guns performed.

there will be some hype in mayo now,ideal for the dubs.
Report Kelly August 8, 2015 7:37 PM BST
Kerry the happiest county after today .  Hard to see Tyrone causing them much trouble , but Mayo could put it up to the Dubs . Market adjustments in progress .
Report kingrat August 8, 2015 8:09 PM BST
what's the play now kelly?
Report winsamsoon August 8, 2015 8:54 PM BST
Don't know where the hype will come from, Mayo forwards were very poor bar O'Shea, O'Conner has totally lost his form this year. If Mayo were to have any hope of winning an All-Ireland they needed to win by 20pts from where they found themselves just after half-time instead kicking the ball into the goalies hands and their usual wides.
This Mayo team is no different from the last few years, just O'Shea is in a different position. Does anyone really believe that Tom Parsons (27) has suddenly become a class midfielder?
Think myself the Dubs will be the happiest, this Tyrone team will love getting stuck into Kerry and while unlikely, I think it's the best chance of a semi-final upset

Cillian O Connor was poor today alright

Kerry vs Dubs final I think , kingrat . In my book that would be a toss up .

Monaghan were poor today , yet started odds on to beat Tyrone .

Money poured on Mayo at the death today , whether that was due to lack of confidence in Donegal is debatable . If Mayo can attack Dublin down the middle that match could be interesting .

I am happy having Kerry on my side from flagfall , but I am waiting for the final before pressing any lay buttons .
