They stank the place out against Cavan in the Ulster final and bowed out tamely. They have similar issues to Donegal. Too nice. With about 10 minutes to go, there was a kick of the ball between the teams. Remember they were hyped up as a huge threat to Dublin in 2020. Too likely to blow hot and cold. They didn't seem to have any urgency. Tyrone did show resilience and fight to get the two points, but they have another couple of hurdles to scale to get to Championship level. That is damning. They didn't seem worried. Where was the urgency from Donegal? They didn't play like a team in danger of the drop. This is a Dublin team who are still a shadow of what they once were but they were still much better than Donegal. They have a habit of flattering to deceive.

Donegal boss Declan Bonner reacts to Dublin defeat (Pundit Arena)

Donegal boss Declan Bonner took the positives from his side's four-point defeat to Dublin on Sunday at Croke Park.

“We’ve created an awful lot of chances, and kicked six or seven wide’s in the first-half. But just before half-time we lost control of the game, and I think that’s where we lost it. “I’m disappointed that we didn’t get anything out of it,” he explained in his post-match interview.

Dublin still in relegation bother despite win over Donegal (Irish Examiner)

A win over Monaghan in Clones next Sunday may not even be enough to keep Dublin in Division 1 of the Allianz League.

Dublin see off Donegal to improve survival hopes (RTE.ie)

Patrick McBrearty, Donegal's top scorer with 1-06, grabbed their goal in the 11th minute with an audacious lob over Dublin goalkeeper Michael Shiel. It could have been a glorious fluke either, depending on your persuasion with McBrearty skipping away from ...

Declan Bonner's side at least know they will definitely stay in Division 1 for 2023 if they beat Armagh next weekend. McBrearty was terrific for them too and picked off a series of points that gave them some hope though Rock was impressive at the other end for Dublin, kicking three of his team's last four points in the game. Cormac Costello and Lahiff were involved in the build-up and Scully fired low and accurately to the right of goalkeeper Shaun Patton. It's not entirely in their own hands as Tyrone, Donegal and Kildare - all on five points in the table, one ahead of Dublin and Monaghan - could all win next weekend and in that case Dublin and Monaghan would still go down regardless of what happens in Clones. It was all doom and gloom before that on the back of four straight defeats but now Dublin know that if they beat Monaghan in Clones next Sunday, they have a great chance of staying up. Dublin's fight for survival in Division 1 of the Allianz Football League will go down to the final day of the campaign after throwing themselves a vital lifeline with their best performance of 2022, securing back to back wins.

6 6 1 1 4 4 6 But Dublin managed to keep them at arm's length and they finally broke the Donegal resistance in the 70th minute. Donegal hit back in the 54th minute. With their backs pinned against the wall, Dublin found a response. Cormac Costello and Sean Bugler both spurned goal chances, but the visitors picked off points at the Hill 16 end. But Dessie Farrell's charges could ensure their top-tier survival next week when they travel to Clones to take on Monaghan in a loser-gets-relegated contest.
