These dummy teams are so frustrating. Manager comes out in an interview saying Gallen is injured and then 3 days later names him in the starting 15.

Only one mistake was made by management in 2014, mcbrearty should have started the final in my opinion But how can you say it cost us the game, was durkans kick out into the hands of the kerry full forward not as important. Or that time we hit the post near the end. In a final you also need that bit of luck in a tight game and kerry got it. To say its your most disappointing day in a Donegal Jersey sums you up, and not the poor job management have done since 2014. At least we were competing with the top table them years. Since 2014, no semi final. Under Bonners two spells with Donegal senior football team, zero All Ireland semi finals. I guess some management have that X factor and some Dont. No one can argue mcguinness had the X factor, A proud Naomh conail man. I am over the moon that we have change, as i said last year, better to have tried and failed than to continue with the same old failed approach. If that means rebuilding, with the full panel of players available next year, the bring it on. The keeper (Donegal) - Posts: 667 - 21/04/2023 10:40:01 2472103 Link 0 |

Most county managers are at this type of nonsense… I don't know who they are trying to fool… Does it ever prove to be of any benefit…? They only end up fooling themselves…!

Aye it's pretty frustrating. Just name the bloody team. I mean, what advantage is to to spring Langan or someone into the team for Gallen 15mins before throw in. It can only be a distraction.

That's a depleted bench! Even without men not playing for their own reasons there's still some better footballers in the county than that bench. They would struggle I believe to make top 4 club teams! tickets (Donegal) - Posts: 43 - 21/04/2023 11:52:40 2472138 Link 0 |

Not very fair lad. These lads have trained hard all year and are committed. Just because you're a good footballer doesn't make you a certainty to play for your county. You need attitude for one as an old county manager used to say county football is not for everybody. By the way who do you think should be there.

Over the moon yea to be relegated to div 2 and to have about 6 certain starters not even on the squad. Sums you up all right.. no X factor lad in 2014 final against a poor Kerry team. Sad day to see only 1 from our county champions in squad for Sunday ..something badly wrong might be something to do with that terrible system. Lol.

You mean that terrible winning system, that winning mentality in a team that just refuse to go away. Its a shame you seem to take joy in that 2014 defeat, or is it the worst day of your life. Make up your mind kid. Perhaps it will take another naomh conail man to bring back success to our county team. Us naomh conail men even in the bad days managed to make a semi final. Probably because Bonner never managed us kid. Its great to be involved with a club that you know will leave it all out on the field. And that has produced some great players for Donegal gaa over the years, and continue to do so. Very knowledgeable gaa people in Naomh conail. Maybe you could come up to our games and training and learn something kid. Good luck to the players and management on sunday. At least its a new chapter and the possibilities are endless. Maybe even a semi final The keeper (Donegal) - Posts: 667 - 21/04/2023 14:25:49 2472216 Link 1 |
Probably a bit old now anyway even if he did play professional football.

With bonner gone now no doubt you'll be in newry Sunday ha. Hopefully now the standard of club football will improve in Donegal and that teams will emulate the gweedore team of a few years ago and win Ulster. It takes a good team to win it . Anyway the tickets are got the jerseys ready roll on Sunday. Il be there cheering on the minors and senior. As proud Donegal people will do. Tir Conal Abu.. as John Mullane says I love my county.

Been there since beginning of Paddy Carr's term. Just never made the 26 for any league games. 3 milford players on the bench......

Good luck to the players and management on Sunday. Going to be a tough day for them with who we are missing. Can see Down getting a few goals so we'll need around 19 points to win. Big ask. TheRock2121 (Donegal) - Posts: 1049 - 21/04/2023 20:20:25 2472277 Link 0 |
