Five key things to look out for this weekend
The quarter-finals have invariably been the stage for the eventual winner to make a big statement — a game they won very convincingly but went in to the match as slight underdogs with question marks hanging over them: 2011 gave us Dublin beating Tyrone by 0-22 to 0-17 in the rain and missing four goals, 2009 gave us Kerry playing poorly in the qualifiers before blowing Dublin away 1-24 to 1-7, 2008 a previously unimpressive Tyrone hammering Dublin in the rain 3-14 to 1-8, 2006 Kerry answering their critics to beat Armagh 3-15 to 1-13. Of the five leading contenders (Dublin, Donegal, Cork, Kerry, Kildare), the Lilywhites will go into the Cork match as underdogs and are the ones under the radar with the most questions over them. Maybe they will be the ones to make the big statement.
