Cavan still not being recognised for the good team that they are. Dublin apart, on this year's championship form not many would have beaten them the way they played in the Ulster Final, Mayo maybe. Play like they did last week, and there is also room for improvement, this could be tighter than people think. They have a tendency to go missing for periods in matches though.

Other game similar really, Tipp have room to improve on last week, they look good in midfield. Both underdogs have nothing to lose and hope they give it a right lash
You'd never know

Dublin by 15 after a valiant first half performance by Cavan. Mayo by 5 though a shock is not out of the question.

Much as I'd like to see a Cavan v Tipp final it's not going to happen, Dublin by 12 points and Mayo by 4 or 5 points is my guess.
I'd be less surprised if Tipp spring a surprise and beat Mayo, I'm just not sure where Mayo are at,
a Mayo v Dublin final will not be as close as in years gone by I don't think.
I'm sorry it's not Donegal v Dublin and Kerry v Mayo this weekend, but both Kerry and ourselves got it wrong and were beaten fair and square so we are where we are to use that awful phrase.
Cavan might surprise us all and give Dublin a close run for it but I just can't see them staying with the pace and power of the Dubs.

Its exactly the same as versus Donegal. Hang on to the coat tails for as long as possible and be there in the home straight... For Cavan its haul Dublin down in the middle of the field, stop them and cut off the supply coming through the middlw and escape with frees rather than Black Cards. That's easier said than done but put it all on the line, hit until you can hit no more, run until you can run no more. More important is to be fearless, dont panic and give them opponents respect. The best way to do that is give them something they've never seen before. Rally up!!!

Score doesn't matter that for worrying about at the end.

Mayo Tipp should be good. Tipp have some fine players and are in bonus land. I expect them to have a right go.

I hope Cavan perform well against Dublin. Regardless of what happens here, its been a great Championship for them.

I hope I'm wrong but I don't see any more surprises in the offing. Dublin and Mayo to emerge from semi-finals. I think Mayo will put it up to Dublin early in but the Dublins experience will prevail. Detractors and those who regard Dublins ongoing success as further proof of Dublins unfair advantage will see the result as a corroboration of their position. Dublin fans will will celebrate the half dozen and dismiss the detractors and critics as begrudgers and the ritual of attack and defend will play out here over the Christmas and into the New Year-and start off again when the Allianz League kicks off. But you know something, a part of me will smile if this doesn't somehow come to pass. If any of the other 3 semi-finalists were to do something remarkable I'd nearly be as happy at this stage. It's nice when life surprises you.

If we,re all honest very hard to see an upset..think both semis will be competitive but I'd expect wins for the dubs and Mayo..I can see mayo having problems because tipp have 4 or 5 players who would get on the majority of teams in country,more likely for a shock in this game..I'd expect Cavan to go for it,they have nothing to lose..hoping for 2 competitive and very good games..conditions not looking great.best of luck to tipp and Cavan,as a neutral I've nothing against the dubs or layup..

cavan will lead at halk time but dublin will win by 10 plus, it will be interesting to see how good tipp are now that they have won something, it might bring them on no bounds, so they can win, not surprised if it a repeat of that minor final with many of the same players involved

A 3 or 4 point win for the Dubs against Cavan. And a 3 or 4 point win for Mayo against Tipp. Beidh bua ag na Dubs agus an Mhaigh Eo.

Tipp and Dublin

i hope we're in for a tight game saturday. . dublin have had no tests this year apart from their own training sessions (probably more spectators there too) but they're really up against a battle hardened team here in cavan. people here talking about cavan falling away in the second half? cavans best football is in the second half!!!!!
dublin have been exemplary champions but this will be the end of the road.
cavan to get two goals in the first half. then one in the second to kill the game on the 65th minute.
final score 3-13 to 17 points.
