Paul Brennnan and Odhrán MacPhaidín-O'Fearraigh are out with long term injuries. Peadar Mogan is at university in Liverpool this year but should be back on board soon. Langan, McHugh, Thompson, Gallen and EBG will also hoepfully be back soon. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9155 - 31/01/2023 11:40:35 2455470 Link

Replying To Saynothing: "Tyrone were a few short against Roscommon also, Peter Canavan, Stevie O Neill, Dooher, Sean Cavanagh." The challenge for all counties is to get guys fit asap with more games in a much shorter period time, Donegal, Tyrone, Kerry whoever can go on about who they are short, reality is all these lads to be getting off the treatment table, and soon or the season willpass them by totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 920 - 31/01/2023 13:50:38 2455540 Link

Shane and Niall O Donnell are missing this year also. Aaron Doherty started last year's fake against Armagh. Add in lads like Odhran MC Neilis and Eoin MC Hugh who have opted out of late, if only we had everyone available! Suppose a lot of counties can say the same..

Isn't everyone short players right now. The league is always used to try out new players. cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 31/01/2023 15:17:46 2455581 Link
Replying To peiledoir20: "Plus all the players that have walked from the panel since 2021" Yeah all those multiple All Stars who retired lol. I can't get over the constant referral to these players. Apart from Tiernan McCann and Mark Bradley the rest of the players barely even played for Tyrone. They were bit part players at most. Can you name the last time you seen Ronan O'Neill, Hugh Pat McGeary, Michael Cassidy or the like influence a game of football for Tyrone?? They left because they knew they would not be called up to the panel again. They got out with their All Ireland medals when the going was good. I am sick of saying this to people. These players would not make the situation in Tyrone any better! Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 913 - 31/01/2023 15:32:41 2455584 Link

Murphy and Neil McGee are retired so no Donegal person would be counting them among the players missing.. Ryan McHugh Eoin Ban Gallagher Peader Mogan Ciaran Thompson Michael Langan Oisin Gallen Odhran McFadden Ferry Paul Brennan Shane O'Donnell Niall O'Donnell (unsure if these final two are returning to the panel this year though) Yes we were down quite a few men so it was nice to beat Kerry; albeit a similarly under strength Kerry.

Tomsmith here Its odious that what was written in plain English is misunderstood by so many ... What I [posted was In conversation about Kerry missing so many (10 was mentioned ) my learned friend in the company of the great Mrs T stated.... Donegal were short 10 players that were first team players last year He dident say anything about retirments or injust just named 10 playeres that were first team players for Donegal in 2022.... tomsmith (Cavan) - Posts: 3861 - 31/01/2023 19:52:15 2455674 Link
anyone know the Donegal lineup weekend before last vs Meath in challenge ? dickie10 (UK) - Posts: 693 - 31/01/2023 20:35:47 2455685 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Isn't he at that already?! He entertains me anyway fair play to him!" Going in against Kerry with 10 short players wouldn't be easy either, you'd have to keep her low.... Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2756 - 31/01/2023 20:37:28 2455686 Link

Replying To foreveryoung: "How many were Cavan short today versus Antrim? All of them?" After been exposed as a Monaghan man, 'Tom' has taken a break from trolling. Not a vintage performance from us yesterday, you are correct. Fontofwisdom (Cavan) - Posts: 128 - 19/03/2023 12:26:51 2464674 Link
