Replying To totalrecall: "A very proud Donegal man living in Leitrim for around 30 years. Not going to be naming anybody just highlighting we need management to be strong to take on some big personalities for the betterment of Donegal football. I will cheering Donegal irrespective of who is in charge on Sunday I travel the length and breadth of Ireland to support the team. Again I am not against Bonner just the direction he has taken us in, I Hope he proves me wrong" Yea good enough, your on about telling Murphy to start and stay at full forward. I like Murphy at full forward but there are periods in a game when we need him out the field.. do you not honestly think that bonner and rochford would not operate Murphy at full forward all the time if it was for the betterment of the team. Of course they would. Your accusation about a certain player wanting a new manager in charge doesn't sit well with me. Anybody could come on this forum and make up stories like that. Unless you were prepared to say who it was, you shudnt have said it. I have no Time for bluffers as you probably know. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2401 - 13/04/2022 17:37:32 2410885 Link

I believe we played ye in a Challenge in Donegal Friday with our lads doing the night in Ballybofey. Any of you hear anything on the game? sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1144 - 17/04/2022 09:28:04 2411266 Link

I'm afraid you would have a better chance of winning the lotto than getting information on that game. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2401 - 17/04/2022 17:00:45 2411354 Link
It looks like BBC2 NI will be showing the Antrim vs Cavin game live on Saturday from 1:25pm and BBC1 NI will be showing the Donegal vs Armagh game live. Coverage starts at 1:50pm. Any word on the injury front? obreaslainp (Donegal) - Posts: 8 - 19/04/2022 10:14:17 2411488 Link
Replying To rorysboys: "I'm afraid you would have a better chance of winning the lotto than getting information on that game." I have heard since we won by a couple of points over three 30 minutes periods. Donegal were with PmcB but had most other high profile players. sourmilk93 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1144 - 19/04/2022 12:05:04 2411534 Link

Good man, hard to get info on these games. Hopefully Mc brearty not injured. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2401 - 19/04/2022 12:31:55 2411540 Link
I see Oisín Gallen is ruled out for the match on Sunday. Hopefully he won't be out for too long. He has a lot too offer.

Also curious on any injury updates? Caolan? Thompson? Langan? Niall O'Donnell? Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1321 - 19/04/2022 14:54:46 2411600 Link
Replying To Donegal_abroad: "Also curious on any injury updates? Caolan? Thompson? Langan? Niall O'Donnell?" According to Bonner in his press conference, he has a fully fit squad apart from Gallen. greenfan (Donegal) - Posts: 469 - 19/04/2022 19:26:44 2411654 Link
Armagh now have a full hand totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 916 - 19/04/2022 22:01:35 2411676 Link
Armagh now have a full panel to pick from, changes the game back to a too close to call game, Big mistake now by Donegal not appealling the suspensions, McFadden Ferry big loss. jacktheboy (Donegal) - Posts: 405 - 19/04/2022 22:02:18 2411678 Link
Seeing this morning all the Armagh players have got off. Absolute farce. The gaa is going down a rocky road. Joke wudnt describe them. I don't think we've heard the last of this. Mc gee and Mc fadden ferry have to be let play now. Wudnt be surprised if the referees went on strike now. Who's word do you take now referee's or solicitor s. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2401 - 20/04/2022 09:46:49 2411689 Link
Replying To jacktheboy: "Armagh now have a full panel to pick from, changes the game back to a too close to call game, Big mistake now by Donegal not appealling the suspensions, McFadden Ferry big loss." Big mistake what you mean. Easy saying that now. Donegal are not at fault here it's the gaa. Referees decisions are seldom overturned.. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2401 - 20/04/2022 09:51:44 2411694 Link
Hard to see the sense in this. A team decides not to appeal and gets punished by proxy of the other team appealing. This means from now on, every single team will appeal suspensions regardless of the degree of the crime. Is it too late to appeal now? If it is, this is going to sit very badly with the Donegal lads who are going to miss the game. All I can say is that we are at home and hopefully the team will be motivated, although I am guessing that Armagh will get a serious shot in the arm after this morale boost.

This is a rerun of what happened to Kilcar only a few short weeks ago. The County Board made a decision to replay the game only to do a 180 degree turn, awarded the game to Glenties, pocketed €5,000 themselves and screwed Kilcar. Here we have 4 suspensions lifted on appeal and the two Donegal players, who didn't appeal are left in the stands. I am left with the inescapable conclusion that there is no honour left in the administration of the GAA. I, for one, have had enough and am done and dusted with the whole sorry mess.

A big boo-boo by Donegal. Those lads who are going to miss the game must surely feel let down by their county board and/or management team (dunno who made the crazy decision not to appeal), whereas the Armagh guys will be well buoyed up, knowing that their CB/Management fought tooth and nail for them. Donegal, definitely at sleep at the wheel! foreveryoung (USA) - Posts: 1909 - 20/04/2022 10:48:42 2411726 Link
Can't help but feel this will add a bit of spice to the atmosphere on Sunday, not that it will have needed it... JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 20/04/2022 11:17:29 2411740 Link

We accepted our punishment but are now badly let down. All it takes is a good legal team to get players off. I hope Donegal gaa release a statement today I don't think this is over yet.
