Replying To jobber: "The past is the past we have to move on and the board have to get this right. I see there is a meeting of hurling clubs monday night and it is very important we have total unity.The hurling clubs and 1 or 2 senior players have to have an input into the selection of new manager and county officials who have no history of involvement with hurling none." Players selecting managers? Seriously? Would any half serious hurling county have players selecting a manager? That's one reason our hurling is in a mess for the last few years. Players play.

Replying To Upforthegame23: "What has happened with the hurling, no senior or minor manager now. Any word why obrien resigned, undermined seems strange considering the appointment of brennan last week" This is the football thread, please keep hurling talk to the hurling thread to avoid confusion.

You can have the best manager and as many coaches and 20 in a backroom team but if you haven't got the talent there is nothing you can do plus players getting far too much power at county and club level they seem to dictate what goes on look at this year's 3 senior finals in westmeath would you realistically pick out 6 or 7 top top inter County hurlers out of the 6 teams.only thing co board can do now for a start is appoint a county manager who the players will look up too and respect and has had success in previous jobs this has to be a given for a county manager as clubs now won't appoint a manager unless he has a proven track record let alone a county manager.

Best wishes to the best to ever do it in green and gold and one of the game's all time great on his retirement mark 2. I thought Michael might give it another year but with a new baby it was always going to be a difficult ask. Where it leaves Donegal? Who knows. That's 2 gone and I believe Langan's injury is a very serious one. However I'll always have faith in Jim and it gives opportunities to others.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls: "Gallen was all star form the two years Murphy was retire and in fact he won an all star. He can be injured a bit but then again plenty in the squad can. He's still relatively young and also had a good club championship.
He's not Murphy's no but now with him and Roarty and maybe one or more gone from the team there's a few spaces open for lads to win.
Interesting year ahead but I doubt we will en anywhere near winning it.
Maybe scrape an ulster title and an all Ireland quarter at best" Do you start every county season assessing whether we're going to win an all ireland? Jeez man, we're not kerry or dublin. We were in prime position to push on last year, all ireland runners up, all star players, flying in the league, hammering kerry every time we met them. And then it all went belly up when it mattered. Let's just see how the year pans out, other players will step up and there will be many twists and turns and bumps in the road. There isn't a single county in the country who can say they're confident they're going to be there on the biggest day, not even kerry. Let's just enjoy the ride.

Great to see the interfirms flying again. I am in Donegal for the weekend , my cousin was playing with the Gardai who struggled against Source Civil tonight. I must say Sinead breen your pro does a fine job on promoting Gaelic games in your county. I find it very easy to follow from afar. Few players stood out tonight - Ciaran McGinley by far and away the guards best player. Brian O Donnell and Mickey hegartys son Jack excellent for source. Could there be call ups for any of those lads on to a Donegal team. They seemed of that standard tonight, a cut above the rest
