Donegal GAA thread

Replying To TheFlaker:  "I know there was a bit of backlash around the treatment of players who didn't make the matchday panel for the 2025 final so a lot of players will look at the rewards for committing to savage training for a year while being largely unavailable at club level also even if not getting game time for Donegal.

McColgan a good player for sure but again has had injury problems since breaking into the squad. A definite starter if fit."

Replying To panamasam:  "Another loss we didn't need in Mark Curran off to Oz something I didn't know myself either. Underutilized in my opinion over the last couple of years. Interesting the mention about Dunleavey I'm surprised we haven't seen more of him. He's a fantastic fielder. Hope McCahill has better run with injuries. He is a player who has that X Factor and I think Malone will come on after a very good run. However as the Flaker says we're depending on lads to either come back from injury or show they can stay fit. Enjoyed the podcast with Paddy. Clearly lots of regret there despite so much success. Very similar to the great Armagh team at the starts of the 2000's. Interesting he doesn't think Jim's methods are sustainable beyond 4 years. What do people think of that with reports during the summer saying he might be interested beyond the 4 years. Plus any word on the Lacey situation? Seemed an automatic to stay on as minor manager or jump up to the under twenties especially after last year's success. That All Ireland B was no mean feat and they beat a very good Louth side in the final."
