Declan Bonner: 'Discipline will be key. An early yellow means you'll be subbed'

Hugh McFadden believes the rivalry that has dictated the tone of Ulster football for the last decade is currently being dictated by Tyrone. Whereas Donegal, under Jim McGuinness, defeated the Red Hands in three successive seasons between 2011 and 2013, in more recent times the side managed by Mickey Harte has come out on top.

Donegal were unbeaten in league and championship in Ballybofey for nine years, prior to Tyrone rolling out of MacCumhaill Park with a 2-17 to 1-13 win in the Super 8 last season. Early in the second half, trailing by four, Tyrone looked out of ideas and on their way out of the championship.
