Replying To Whyme923: "Muldoon is up. Hearing a squad of 40+ up training full of young lads and hoping to unearth a new Moore. I was down doing a delivery in Gweedore yesterday and was told the SOS call is out for a few lads to come back from Oz and London" Like who?

Replying To BaileCrann: "Like who?" Michael Carroll would be the most likely out of the London boys, possibly Ciaran Diver. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1036 - 13/11/2024 13:11:44 2579510 Link

Replying To Whyme923: "Oh not for Donegal, It's the club they were on about" Carroll, Mulligan & MacNiallais would give Gaoth Dobhair a big boost. They weren't wild far away last year. Maybe lacking that wee bit of elite quality to get them over the line against the likes of a Eunans or Glenties. The aforementioned trio would provide that if all were available & going well.

Donegal are training collectively. Does anyone really care? So are other teams. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8157 - 14/11/2024 14:21:20 2579614 Link
Replying To TheFlaker: "Donegal are training collectively. Does anyone really care? So are other teams." No they're not. No training in November. If you have evidence of collective training then get it out there, anything less than that is just speculation. PeterQ92 (Donegal) - Posts: 115 - 14/11/2024 22:11:57 2579653 Link
Replying To TheFlaker: "Donegal are training collectively. Does anyone really care? So are other teams." But they aren't training collectively yet, just troll accounts speading that. Commodore (Donegal) - Posts: 1202 - 15/11/2024 08:21:07 2579668 Link

Gaoth Dobhair remind me a bit of the Donegal Senior team in the early 2000's, they always have lots of top talent within their ranks, but just can't keep everyone onboard and focused/dedicated. If they could manage that, they would be a serious long-term threat to Naomh Conaill and St Eunans. Commodore (Donegal) - Posts: 1202 - 15/11/2024 08:28:37 2579671 Link
I am loving the siege mentality lads. It's hardly the biggest secret in the world. As i said they are not the only ones. Who cares? TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8157 - 15/11/2024 09:12:12 2579679 Link

The lads that are available train as hard and are as dedicated as any. Gaoth Dobhair suffer more in terms of emigration perhaps. You could list Cian Mulligan, Odhran MacNiallais, Naoise O'Baoíll, Michael Carroll, Kieran Gillespie (although unfortunately injured again, has also recently departed). Look I know every club suffers similarly, but I don't think that anyone could dispute that if the above five were at home and fit, they'd be serious additions to any team.

I take your word that Mayo and other Counties are already back at collective training already, I have no issue with that, but I believe Donegal currently aren't. Trolling on here is a major problem Commodore (Donegal) - Posts: 1202 - 15/11/2024 14:30:16 2579747 Link

Add in Neil and Eamon to that list from last year but credit to the rest of the players who put the head down and train/play. Got to a semi this year and lost to Eunans by a point. I see glenties coming back strong this year along with Four Masters making the final. Whyme923 (Donegal) - Posts: 16 - 15/11/2024 21:10:00 2579812 Link
A great win for Naomh Padraig Muff tonight. Fair play to them and a great week ahead for them before their Ulster Final next weekend. dats_rite (Australia) - Posts: 12 - 16/11/2024 18:54:25 2579887 Link

Harsh that they're playing in the u-21 championship tomorrow, think there's a fair few 21s on their team too. ballboy101 (Donegal) - Posts: 225 - 16/11/2024 22:32:06 2579917 Link
Replying To dats_rite: "A great win for Naomh Padraig Muff tonight. Fair play to them and a great week ahead for them before their Ulster Final next weekend." Made all the more impressive that they were without 2 of their top 3 players for the most part. Surely the third one, Johnny Toye, has to get a county call up now? Playing some serious football. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1036 - 17/11/2024 08:58:40 2579936 Link
I see the semi finals are set for next Sunday in the u21. Playing the glenties game in ballyshannon is crazy. Any reason why LK/Convoy/McCool park not available? Whyme923 (Donegal) - Posts: 16 - 17/11/2024 19:54:50 2580034 Link

Word has it that Kilcar are back in the transfer market. For a manager this time. The father/son same club dream didn't last long. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1036 - 18/11/2024 08:19:02 2580084 Link
