Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Hope you've got over your wee man crush on Bonner now and will give Jim and the boys your full support roryboy. The Messiah is back in charge after you telling us ad nauseum that it would never happen." Thing is I'll support whoever manages Donegal, I'm not a spoilt child like you, that after a few bad results I throw my toys out of the pram and stop supporting Donegal. No time for so called supporters like you. lol rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2553 - 14/12/2023 22:33:08 2516847 Link
Replying To TheRock2121: "The hidden politics starting back up again. A few posters looking to get another manager gone already so they can get their own man, whoever that may be, back in. Rinse and repeat." Yea it's terrible we haven't played a game yet. But did you not know there's alot of hidden agendas on here. Hopefully all goes well for Jim and the lads. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2553 - 14/12/2023 22:35:04 2516848 Link

I don't operate like that, I don't attack any manager. They all deserve respect, unlike you with your personal vendettas. What are you hoping for this year. An Ulster title and maybe an all Ireland semi final. Won't be easy without Murphy but. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2553 - 15/12/2023 16:29:37 2516966 Link
I can only say if anyone is here sniping about McGuinness already then they don't want the best for Donegal football. It's like complaining about the Porsche on your driveway. Complain until you're driving a Fiat Panda and then maybe be satisfied. Some lunatics out there. Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1384 - 15/12/2023 18:52:29 2516981 Link

What personal vendetta? you are a funny boy alright, I think the focus has to be the All Ireland series, promotion would be good but Jim might have his mind on getting things right for later on, I don't think Ulster will be a big priority, depending on how he gets them playing though anything is possible, there's plenty of talent in this county despite you saying here for years that we don't, even if we don't have Michael at FF, Jim will get the best out of them I have no doubt about that. That's what a great manager does. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2995 - 15/12/2023 19:03:58 2516982 Link

That's the game Jim is targeting, Jim wants to win every game so he definitely will prioritise Ulster. He win Ulster in his first year in 2011 so why not now. He has picked a strong team for tomorrow so he means business from the start. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2553 - 16/12/2023 09:52:30 2517018 Link
All right, Now the dust has settled and the clubs had the guts to make changes at convention, are people on the forum happy going forward. New manager, and a mostly new executive are there better days ahead for Donegal. Whateveryourhavingyourself (Donegal) - Posts: 56 - 16/12/2023 10:21:17 2517021 Link

Yes I'm very happy and looking forward to the new year, some change from the mess of recent times, night is darkest just before the dawn.

See Jims first team selection up on facebook for Roscommon game, looks strong enough team but dont see any players from the top in Club the County. jacktheboy (Donegal) - Posts: 447 - 16/12/2023 18:40:03 2517080 Link
I know a strong team was named but I'd be surprised if it actually started! It's a charity game first and foremost, so naming a weak team might not be great for the attendance! SignTheContract (Donegal) - Posts: 197 - 16/12/2023 19:05:37 2517081 Link
Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Yes I'm very happy and looking forward to the new year, some change from the mess of recent times, night is darkest just before the dawn." The changes on the executive are very positive, thanks be to God. Fergus McGee seems to have been an absolute gentleman, and I feel sorry for him. A serious team named for tomorrow, can't wait to see what's in store. SouthOfTheGap (Donegal) - Posts: 699 - 16/12/2023 19:22:37 2517085 Link
I see the couple of lads who were saying there are 2 sides to every story bla bla bla have been very quiet since the people who needed to get the road are finally gone. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8096 - 16/12/2023 22:51:48 2517113 Link
Replying To SignTheContract: "I know a strong team was named but I'd be surprised if it actually started!

Heard of one player at a wedding last Friday drinking orange juice cause he had the game in Sunday. Apparently they're out 7 times a week, 4 on the pitch, 3 in the gym! greenfan (Donegal) - Posts: 569 - 17/12/2023 12:48:21 2517142 Link

Rinse and repeat." Ok I'll try again. Nobody is trying get on Jim's back. From what I heard and I'm sure it'll make the way to your ears soon on how Paul was dropped. tickets (Donegal) - Posts: 103 - 17/12/2023 13:27:56 2517156 Link
Any reports back from Ballyshannon this afternoon? Great to see six young players making their debuts, well done to all. Hopefully plenty was raised for the Hospice. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1003 - 17/12/2023 16:30:43 2517195 Link
Donegal looked in good shape today in Ballyshannon. That winter sunshine training in Tenerife showed. We in comparison have a lot of work to do before a very challenging Div 1 campaign. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3899 - 17/12/2023 16:48:52 2517200 Link
Enjoyed the game today in Ballyshannon. Very youthful Donegal panel. Jim building for the future. Word in Ballyshannon that McEniff, Cassidy and Banty taking on a club job in Donegal. ryan (Donegal) - Posts: 747 - 17/12/2023 16:52:01 2517201 Link
