I've no idea which game you are talking about, I can't see the game/results you are talking about on your website, maybe you should talk to your own PRO.

Back again I see. Jesus I hadn't thought of stopping Clifford. Is he a good player aye?

You couldn't even get out of the group. We buried yous, don't forget that.

Go away, you clown. It is spelled McGuinness, I see that you constantly spell it incorrectly on the blog too.

Jim would win an All Ireland with Mayo in previous decade or Galway today. Not a single doubt in my head.

He made three semi finals out of 4 in first phase and won three Ulsters and made two All Irelands.

We didn't get back to a semi final since he left for ten years and made only one semi final before his reign in 2003 when he was still playing in the previous 18 years.

He comes back and goes back to back on Ulster titles and semi finals in a highly competitive environment and now has us 70 minutes from potentially our 3rd ever all Ireland.


He's a genuine world class leader. How is this even being debated anymore?

Replying To Tirchonaill1:  "Yes absolutely well done to Shaun Patton on his 100th cap, hope he has a great game in the final, Paddy says we have massively underachieved since 2014 and he is not wrong, what a difference it makes having Jim back in charge, we always had the players despite what some people would have you believe.
I think we can win this final but we will have to be at our very best, Kerry are a serious outfit with probably the most lethal forward we'll ever see in David Clifford, if we can can contain him as much as possible and play like we can then we we will win.
Everyone is on Cloud 9 around here, a great final in store. Hope to God we can win it."
Where did Paddy say that? All I saw in the post match was that things were tough after Declan left, and 2023 in particular was a bad year.

All I took from that brief answer was Paddy respects Declan and things went bad after he was gone.

It's great having Jim at the helm but Bonner has been an incredible servant to Donegal football and did wonders bringing through majority of this panel we are lucky to have today.

I think it's either simply jealousy or good old fashioned Irish begrudgery.

To the Donegal posters in here... enjoy the next 2 weeks, ignore the few eejits who spend their time in here trolling , dont even reply to their stupid posts. There's plenty decent gaa posters to have proper discussions and a bit of proper banter with.
