Replying To Scenicparish: "The Galway are very worried about Jim...." Any county with aspirations of winning Sam would have concerns about facing Jim. His record speaks for itself. Im merely pointing out that he's consistently used the "them against us" narrative as a motivational tool and with considerable success. That said he's still 0 for 1 against Galway in Championship football ;-) ahsure. (Galway) - Posts: 1775 - 01/06/2026 17:38:42 2677069 Link

Will take that. We owe Cork one. Great draw. In McCool park too! eddieSize5Balls (Donegal) - Posts: 379 - 02/06/2026 08:42:10 2677164 Link
Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "Will take that. We owe Cork one. Great draw. In McCool park too!" Will it be ready in time for the match I wonder? JimmyCarr (Donegal) - Posts: 29 - 02/06/2026 09:23:51 2677183 Link
Replying To TrueBlue35: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lbIt7gw3KA" Thanks for putting this up, as I siad before there is no footage showing McGuinness touching O'Connor, you see O'Connor taking a slight move back but he was facing into the wind. ulsterrules (Donegal) - Posts: 299 - 02/06/2026 09:27:01 2677186 Link
Replying To brayballer: "Google youtube and its there for all to see.There is rose tinted glasses but yois take the biscuit.Yous never see any wrong by donegal." This was shared https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lbIt7gw3KA by another poster and I would appreciate it if you could let me know when you see McGuiness touch O'Connor, all you see is Jim walking towards O'Connor, O'Connor Flinches or the strong breeze that was there puts him slightly off balance. But at no point has there been any video evidence of McGuiness touching O'Connor. And you can be sure if there was it would have been shared with us all. ulsterrules (Donegal) - Posts: 299 - 02/06/2026 09:31:58 2677190 Link
Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "Will take that. We owe Cork one. Great draw. In McCool park too!" So it is Sean mac Cumhaill park, delighted it is ready. Saturday night please at 7pm. The GAA dragged us to Cork and Killarney for Saturday games. Ulsterchamps72 (Donegal) - Posts: 213 - 02/06/2026 09:56:05 2677198 Link
Replying To JimmyCarr: "Will it be ready in time for the match I wonder?" Confirmed for Ballybofey by Jarlath Burns via Mary Coughlan dats_rite (Australia) - Posts: 20 - 02/06/2026 10:07:21 2677203 Link
Not a bad draw. Cork away wouldn't have been ideal. They have some good players so they definitely cannot be taken for granted. Jarlath Burns seemed to indicate that the game will be in MacCumhaill Park. Hopefully that will be the case. I wouldn't think Cork will take a big support up? Should be plenty of tickets available. On another note - a huge bualadh bos to all in CLG Chill Chartha on a very well run Comórtas Peil na Gaeltachta. There was a great wee buzz around the place and some brilliant football played over the weekend. Well done to all the Donegal teams on their victories. Fanad Gaels produced a brilliant comeback win and Gaoth Dobhair eventually edged a very big and physical Wolfe Tones team. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 10353 - 02/06/2026 10:10:32 2677204 Link

Replying To JimmyCarr: "Will it be ready in time for the match I wonder?" They said on Radio 1 during the draw that its been confirmed Ballybofey will be ready. JimB1991 (Donegal) - Posts: 184 - 02/06/2026 10:33:08 2677216 Link

Replying To Ulsterchamps72: "So it is Sean mac Cumhaill park, delighted it is ready. Saturday night please at 7pm. The GAA dragged us to Cork and Killarney for Saturday games." I'd imagine it won't be a late night game. Unfair to Cork supporters. My guess is early on the Saturday. Al_Maguire (Donegal) - Posts: 358 - 02/06/2026 11:18:32 2677241 Link
Very happy with that draw. Cork a decent team but without wanting to stereotype them, often don't travel well. Added incentive after getting caught by them 2 years ago. Once I heard we were getting back to ballybofey, I didn't care who was drawn out after that. Looking forward to it now. Monaghan/Roscommon , Derry/Meath and Tyrone/Mayo are the ties I'd be most interested in and find hardest to call. WeGoAgain (Donegal) - Posts: 198 - 02/06/2026 11:22:57 2677244 Link

Sure we might as well stay at home! bloodandbandage (Cork) - Posts: 569 - 02/06/2026 11:24:56 2677245 Link
Replying To bloodandbandage: "Sure we might as well stay at home!" I certainly won't be taking this game for granted, especially not after the last time we played you. But I'm happier to playing Cork at home than Armagh or Tyrone away. Familiarity breed contempt and no doubt more controversy and all that. And happy to avoid Galway for now too. I'm sure Cork won't be fearing us either as you have a good record against us down through the years and know how to win against us. Should be a mighty battle.

Replying To bloodandbandage: "Sure we might as well stay at home!" Ah now, don't be like that lol! If I'm confident I say it... don't believe in the oul yerra business. I was in cork 2 years ago and would be very wary of them but I hope home advantage will swing it for us. Do come up and give it a go though ;-) WeGoAgain (Donegal) - Posts: 198 - 02/06/2026 12:11:17 2677274 Link
