Are the members of the County Executive/County board's names published each year? I'm not asking for names to be listed here, but I would like to search for a list of the full County Executive/board membership for the last 20-30 years and see who is and was on it, how long some people have been hovering around it, how would I go about that?

The player played without clearing it with the county manager. He knew the situation when he joined the panel, he knew he wouldn't play club league. There has to be discipline, players can't just decide to play in a club game when it suits them. It's not like the club in question are short of players. There are many smaller clubs out there having to manage in the league without their county panellists.

110%, Milford, Killybegs and St Nauls are particularly hard hit this year..

Killybegs and Milford are playing in a higher division than St. Nauls. Killybegs almost certain to go down now while Milford could slip into bother. If a club with their pick can't get out of the basement division there's something badly wrong peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1181 - 12/06/2023 11:01:40 2485753 Link 0 |

saw Fanad and Milford playing yesterday, young fella for Fanad , not sure who he is, best left foot I've seen in a while. Put over a couple 45's and 2 points from play with the outside of the boot, one from way out at the 45. Also, the best foot passer I've seen in a long time. Great to see players who want to kick the ball and not just pass it to the man beside them. greenfan (Donegal) - Posts: 620 - 12/06/2023 11:33:06 2485767 Link 0 |

It's a load of bs, kilkenny and other counties allow lads to playwith their clubs between county matches, donegal get more fellas injured at county training than playing for the clubs. Particularly in relation to lads on wider panel. Killybegs will be relegated because their 3 best players are Unavailable to them for the whole league.

I agree, I think it's ridiculous carry on, although John haran only ever puts his head above the parapet to criticise others, a pity that one of the most decorated club players in donegal can't see past his own club. It's easy to be the hurler in the ditch, people like him could step forward and be part of the solution.

I agree, players should be allowed to play with clubs, they would be sharper and up to match fitness when called upon to play for the county. Its crazy having players only training for 6 months of the year and maybe not get one minute of game time. However, whether we like it or not, agree or disagree with it, that's how it is and how it has been for years. They are told not to play with the club. The player and club in question would have known that , so why go ahead and play, knowing that he didn't have clearance from the county manager?

Some of our current county board have been there since the early 90's!

The player in question initially text the manager who then said he would call him back on the matter . He never did so further calls were made and never answered. The player must have knew himself he would probably land himself in bother. Not excusing O Rourke either. Dreadful communication. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8354 - 12/06/2023 22:23:00 2486070 Link 1 |

The St Eunans management might have guided the young fellow a bit better.

It's an honour to play for your county, but I know I wouldn't train like a dog all year without being either asked to play minutes for Donegal or allowed to play matches for my club. Move forwards not backwards. What's the point of being a sportsman if you're not playing sports, be you 12 or 32. SurelyToGod (Donegal) - Posts: 452 - 13/06/2023 16:38:30 2486259 Link 1 |

Listen multiple people in the wrong. O Rourke and Bradley are not fit to manager inter county so the players probably don't take them that seriously. I imagine Tobin wasn't too bothered about the consequences at this point.

They definitely should have. They should have known this would happen. This is a player who was included in the match day squad for the Derry game.

I checked Donegal County Board Executive for the years 2023, 2016 and 2011 so far from the links shared. From what I can see, there are 5 names who have been on the Executive for that full 12 year duration. I don't think many have been there since the 90's, maybe one person at most, who might not be a voting member Commodore (Donegal) - Posts: 1332 - 14/06/2023 12:51:39 2486421 Link 0 |

Well we managed it again. Another mini-controversy to add to the pile. In fairness though, this is probably an issue affecting most other counties as well. I see Down have taken the opposite approach to us and are allowing their squad men play for their clubs between matches. It's risk vs reward. Yes they might pick up an injury, but they're getting match practice in that they won't get on the bench for Donegal. I'd be more inclined to let the lads play. You could just as easily pick up an injury in training. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9730 - 14/06/2023 14:28:46 2486438 Link 0 |

I think the Eunans manager should have known better. he is someone who played for the county for years and should have advised young player in his 1st year with county. The county will be over in just over a week, so no need for the controversy with season nearly over. ryan (Donegal) - Posts: 748 - 14/06/2023 15:47:31 2486463 Link 0 |
