I enjoyed Oisin McDonagh's two shoulders in a row to Armagh men. Sent them flying.

Fair play on the result last day, think both teams can be happy with alot of what they seen and bother missing alot of men, both teams will improve, never much between Armagh and Galway over the last 4 years, I'd actually say this was the best Armagh looked against Galway in a long time and can be really happy with the general performance but not the result, think Armagh going forward look very good and in midfield look strong, both teams will be there or there abouts come business end of things,

A game of two halves much like last week. Again an excellent first half but nowhere near those levels in the second. However 4 points after 2 games and it's nearly a case of job done. I imagine the target much like last year is to get to 6 as soon as possible and start experimenting once Division 1 status has nearly been established. Contributions from all over the field and good to see some of the young squad members get a run out towards the end. Also good to see Murphy and Gallen back. I thought Mogan in particular was excellent if picking one out. Some laughable headlines already on the click based media using the word "revenge". It's the first day in February playing a Kerry team down the 3 players who done much of the damage against us last year in the 2 Cliffords and Gavin White plus other players to come into the reckoning including Paul Geaney.

Relieved to get the win, it was closer than it really should have been, finished strongly at least. Another couple of injuries we could have done without today, really need to get as many as possible back in this 2 weeks break before we head to London who will be very confident after their great victory in Longford today.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "Good win but pity Kerry were missing some of their stars.
Patton can't come back soon enough.
The 2 points for a free is a horrible. Keeps teams who are playing poor in it if they have a great kicker. I know it's to stop cynical tackles out the field but that scoreline today flattered Kerry.
Murphy looking still trim and quick for a man who's 36!" I thought Mulreaney played well. His kickouts were on the money, I was behind the goal in first half and he hit some beautiful kickouts compared to his counterpart who was hitting and hoping.

Replying To CCFabu: "Won't be mentioned much considering who they were missing all over the pitch but felt Kerry really missed Shane Ryan in goals" Yeah very good point CC. He was outstanding last year and pulled off some big saves in clutch moments. Happy with the points and got to watch the game today with no tech issues despite an early start. Ballyshannon looked amazing on my stream and photos I've seen since. Really enjoy going to games there between the logistics and the very welcoming hosts. On another point great to see Caolan McGonigle sprinting up the field at the end. He made his 100th appearance last weekend. Who would of said that a few years ago. His determination to get to where he is deserves all the plaudits and of course a massive congratulations for reaching such a milestone.

long trip to Ballyshannon for Donegal fans, very unfair, I'd say Jim is outraged.
Maybe the Coast Guard could ferry fans from the other end of the county.

Hard luck today to Monaghan. No more than ourselves you were missing a lot of players but ye definitely improved vastly from last week's game against Armagh. Roscommon deserved today's win but Monaghan were very competitive throughout and I've no doubt ye'll improve dramatically as the year goes on. Its very difficult when injuries keep coming but from that younger players are blooded which is vital. Still early days in the league. Nothing to say you can't get a result in Dublin in two weeks time and depending on other results there could be a lot of teams hovering around relegation. Not a certainty yet that the league is done for Monaghan. Wouldn't it be great if both Roscommon and Monaghan could avoid relegation. Here's hoping

Its mission accomplished in that we got 2pts against a fairly under-strength Kerry side, and positive to see Oisin Gallen and Michael Murphy get a short run out for first time in 2026.
Credit to Sean O'Shea and Tony Brosnan, they kicked some outstanding two pointers, but I would say Jim will be focusing on our discipline, as 0-10 of Kerry's scores came from frees. I don't think much else is worth taking from this game, maybe again we are a bit low in two-pointers ourselves, especially considering it was an under-strength Kerry side.
Final score: Donegal 1-22 v 1-18 Kerry.
Scorers - Donegal 11 v 4 Kerry
Scores from play: Donegal 1-13 v 1-01 Kerry
Number of scores: Donegal 20 v 11 Kerry
Two Pointers: Donegal 3 v 8 Kerry
Mayo seem to be on a different level right now, so next week will be a different beast in Letterkenny, it will probably be the toughest test so far.

Its 2024 all over again folks defensive errors easy goals given away imagine what kerry or donegal will do to that defehce. We will regroup in div 2 next year and probably do alright through so not hugely concerned long term. We just can't compete in div 1 without our first 15 We do need a win or two in this division however before the summer for confidence or it will be a short one. Theres a big opportunity to get to an ulster final. Am sure derry and cavan feel same way through so important we get men back fit and ready and confident.

Replying To hontherossie: "Thought it was going to tough day at the office, but credit to the lads who eventually got the better of a sticky Monaghan side. We really need to tighten up in the defence as Monaghan ran through our defence on numerous occasions in the first half. Great to see new players settling in well especially Keogh and Darragh Heneghan" Nice crowd in a sunny Hyde today. Definitely a step down on last week's performance and defensively quite open at the back in the first half, but a big improvement in the second half. Enda was excellent today and the standout player. But also big performances from Senan Lamb, Caelim Keogh, Paddy Gavin, Diarmuid, Darragh Heneghan and Dylan. Ronan Daly was impressive also. Thought the midfield done well also and overall I would say they won the midfield battle comfortably. Still lots to brush up on though. Some of the decision making is still a bit suspect. Quicker ball in and we could have had at least 2 more goals. We ran into the tackle at times when there was no need to and ball got turned over. Aaron Brady has been very impressive since he has come in. He looks very comfortable under the high ball and apart from one kickout today I think the rest were excellent. Conor Carroll will have a job to wrestle back the No.1 jersey. I think overall we have to be very satisfied with the result today. Loads of young lads getting game time and yet lots of quality players to come back in. Huge test in two weeks time against Armagh. That'll be the litmus test to show where we are really at.

Replying To Ulsterman12: "Massive injury crisis is it just that time of year of is s&c maybe taking its toll , college lads only exemption as injuries bound to happy , yet again great to see them playing college football" I think questions of the s and c is valid. 3 hamstrings went this week alone according to Bannigans post match interview. The 4th was in a college game. What's going on?

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "And you got that improvement 2nd half yet I don't see you as quick to post about it on here? Not a bad days work for the Rossies without a number of first choice players and scoring 3-16 (25) plus Monaghan had a stronger line up today with Beggan and Co back." Was the first half poor? Was there an improvement needed? I think you can agree that both were true. 2nd half was much better for sure and fair play to the lads for lifting it. Looked flat in 1st half and like we thought it was going to be an easy afternoon but thankfully we were able to go through the gears when needed. Still plenty to work on, I felt Monaghan cut through us too often and we got caught with players getting in behind us which a better team would have punished us more from. Enda showed again what a leader he is and continues to be, outstanding again today. As has been said, decision making needs to improve going forward. Senan Lambe was good again but I felt he sometimes took the wrong option and carried ball into contact when there was an opportunity to lay the ball of but I like his enthusiasm and his will to try and drive forward. Darragh Heneghan was very good, his pace caused real trouble to Monaghan and is a great asset to have. Brady has been very good the last 2 days and it's great we have competition for the number 1 jersey. Great to get the win and get up and running, massive challenge coming in 2 weeks but with players to come back in the squad is getting stronger and that's a great thing.
Only negative today is the news of Cian's injury and he is a loss, a real shame for him but hopefully he will be back fit for New York.

Replying To OpenStandWall: "2 points dug out but that was a really below par performance in the second half to say the least, our lack of size in particular the half back line was glaring although I thought Wickham finished the game strongly. Our first touch as well was poor. Think Down also scored directly from every free we gave away.
Chin or no Chin next week there needs to be a big improvement.
Nice to see a good Wexford following there today also for a game in February 300+ KM away." That's some trek for supporters, credit to those who travelled, genuine supporters
