Replying To eunans4ever:  "When was the last time ballyshannon beat us ????

If we can't dispose of them then I give up…

There is a lot of hurt there also with the carry on of roryboy our former chairman and also a certain linesman to put the record straight…."
Why are you hurt Honey, is it because Off st eunans bottling the county final last year. Or the time st eunans played an illegal player and rightly had there title taken off them.
Great teams don't make excuses and find a way to win.
Like the time Naomh conail had a player wrongly sent off in a county final against st eunans, but still went on to win the county final.

Obviously I will be cheering on Naomh conail this wkend and hope we have enough to get over the line.
But if we don't, there will be no excuses and we will congratulate kilcar.
A club with a very small pick, that always produces some great footballers who have very rarely let the county down
People are saying there is bitterness between our clubs, however the real supporters admire kilcar and what they have contributed to the gaa in the county. And there supporters are as passionate gaa men as you would get anywhere in the country.
So may the best team win on the day

Replying To eunans4ever:  "I never said u mentioned a field……

If you have no confidence going into a game then balding bother turning up.

It's like the years previous final where glenties/Fintown were tapped up as the greatest club team ever , couldn't b beaten and were destined to lift ulster and then got beaten by one of the biggest margins and one sided games ever in a county final , guess what - it happens………."
And then after ye beat us you were going to dominate for the next 5 or 6 years but guess what you came unstuck so what goes around comes around.....

Is there any information on streams for this weekend ? Tyrone cover a lot of their championship games in all the grades, it would be good to see a similar setup in Donegal.

Donegal GAA can't even organise their own website so I hardly think they have the capacity to organise a streaming service, and with the standard of broadband in this county most couldn't view it even if it was offered.

Glenswilly v MacCumhaills being streamed in what should be a close game. Hopefully Naomh Conaill v Kilcar is also going to be streamed?
Surprised at the amount of people giving Ardara a chance v Gweedore, they have done well to get to this point but I'd be surprised if they get within 7 or 8 points of Gweedore

Good morning folks.

I see the county board are live stream Glenswilly v McCools. Hopefully the quality will be good. I'll be at it myself and then on to Convoy.

McCools and a draw in Convoy I'm going for!

Such a shame that they cannot get a stream service in operation. The likes of myself up here in Inishowen to be honest wouldn't travel to Fintra to watch a neutral game but would I pay to watch it on a stream...absolutely.

Really pushing the no cash at the gate and no stream service seems that they are really missing a trick, I know that broadband service isn't great everywhere but any of the games I have watched previously on the 247.tv stream were of excellent quality. Updates on Twitter will have to do for today

roryboy won't be pleased any of you lads going watching the games online, you're not 'real fans' in his opinion, you've been warned.
Glad the option is there to watch game today online for all the armchair bandwagon type fans!! lol.

At least your admitting your an armchair supporter. I have you boys sussed out a good while ago. As the saying goes you can't beat being there. I listen to an opinion from anybody that attends games but sorry the armchair fan doesn't exist in my book.

Don't think anybody is too worried about your wee book in all fairness roryboy. Open game here, fluke of a goal by Gallen, Glenswilly could do with a bigger keeper, can see the Glen men running out easy winners here, we'll see.

Well done to Mc Cumhaills, great game I wish all the football was played like this, I'd imagine the NC v KIlcar game will a be a more cagey affair, well worth the admission today to see that great contest.

Just back from day of GAA, great game in O Donnell park. Fair play to McCools, they'll build on that!

A lot of talk in Convoy that Eunans couldn't break down Aodh Rua first half. When you look at it- they conceded goal straight away playing against the breeze. I'd say Rory had it planned hold the ball over and back and not to forces passes and get turned over. Hold out until half time and open a bit more.

Pity both games are overlapping tomorrow.

It will be very tight. If Classon takes the game to Gaoth Dobhair it'll be very tight.

Be interesting who takes KJ and if Neil is still out do GD have someone to battle with CJ?
