Let nobody forget the first time Jim Mc Guinness went for the Donegal manager's job, several members of the interview panel (donegal county committee officials at the time) were snickering at some of his answers during the interview and when he told them beforehand he wanted to use a laptop and projector, he was told "we are not into that". Who's laughing now! Well done Jim.

well done jim...you,ve shown that you knew more about football than the original interview board did...wheres all the detractors now who came on highland radio to berate you......well done lad

John brennan asked me today which direction was Clones and the next question was where would you get a good aul Ulster fry around here , Old school I doubt JB could use a lap top but look what happened to Armagh a year after winning the All Ireland the used a symbol on the back of the shirt instead of focusing on the 15 men in front of them..... Always had time for Jim looks ten years younger without the beard lol .

Jim has turned about 25 counties against donegal football a county that turned some of the greats of our sport takes as team and sets them up to play this rubbish
they are sickening to watch trying to play a game which tyrone could play but donegal will never know how against the big guns.Will jim know what to do when gooch or bernard brogan running at him i think not.puke is not even the name for the drivel donegal play.

A big congrats to every man woman and child from donegal, home or abroad. To jim and all mentors and team. Goodtimes

Jim's only trying to please one county,Donegal.Some of those greats never won a thing.Every other year those 25 teams you mention would be capable of beating us,not any more.It's great to see a Donegal team playing with pride and passion for the jersey,something we hadn't seen in years. His aim at the start of the year was an Ulster title,now we're in bonus territory.Well done to Jim and the boys

Didn't come on here to reply to a silly begruder, but it must have been a proud moment for the county bowing out to Offaly 1-18 to 1-10 on the 25th of June, if you played like us you there could be a very small glimmer of a chance you'd still be in the championship. Where is the Anglo Celt today.....

Anyways,

Jim McGuinness has to be applauded for what he has done in such a short period of time. Winning the Ulster is amazing but that aside. How he has "gelled" them boys together, how they play as a proper team, have belief in themselves, has the supporters genuinely supporting them again, brought a complete overhaulf of professionalisim to the county set up and answered all his critics especially those within the county. Well done Jim For the first time in a long time there is alot of guys and girls who are geniuinley proud for being from Donegal today and proud of our team. Keep it up and please God let them fools let you get on with the game and when we do eventually have a small slip up not to be thinking "is he the right man for the job???" Of course he is look what he has achieved in a few months give Jim time and god knows what he'll achieve for use with his lovely, beautiful, stylish, attaching "puke" football. Also nice to see a few boys swallow their pride last night on RTE. Tir connaill Abu

@mickylinden (the monaghan man who cant find a Monaghan player worthy of taking their name for forums) What is your problem. The Anglo Celt is in Donegal. And you probably dont know but Donegl beat Tyrone along the way. You have derided Donegal after every game and hopefully you continue to do so for a few months yet. Maybe you feel we should do it the Monaghan way!

well done jim good work good preperation lads showed that today your self and rory have made a good job of the squad,hopefully after moday you can get them gatthered up and put a big push on at training for the quarther final, donegal arent finished at ulster i think!!gooluck!

Anyone know if the dates for quarter finals are fixed yet or when we might be out again?

The August bank holiday, double headers on the Sunday and the Monday. Back in Croker :)

Well done Jim and the lads on a great win yesterday let the begrudgers cry all they want it's a new era in Donegal football and the Anglo Celt is back in the Hills after 19years win fair and square by the better team on the day.

Is the quarter finals an open draw. I know we meet one of the 4 teams which came through the back door, but if Tyrone beat Armagh can we be drawn against them again.

Any1 know if the lads are on the lash still. I fancy a few pints meself

Firstly well done to Jim on turning around the team it seems a long time since that embarrassing day in Crossmaglen upwards and onwards lads!! Secondly I don't know what this mickylinden guy's problem is his hate for Donegal is unreal and he is using the style of play as cover sure he accused us of destroying Clones every time we played there this past 30 years get a grip man and stop stirring it up we are over the moon after yesterday and don't need your negative crap, most hated team in Ireland? wise up!

Also stayed over in Clones on Saturday night and went to every bar in the town and had a great night and not one bad word was said about Donegal folk in fact they had nothing but praise!

Well Done and Congrats to Donegal on yesterdays win. great for Ulster Football and the championship in general to see a different team get their day in the sun.
Honestly think they could make at least the semi's if not a final. I remember reading an article before the start of the league where Jim said he felt he was managing a situation not a team with injuries and different problems they were having. What a turnaround.... Well done and the best of luck for the rest of the Championship.

Your young manager showed great strength in refusing to alter tactics following a tsunami of criticism of your playing style .. he also drew the line at personal jibes aimed at his players, earning him much admiration in neutral quarters. He now has a v fit, hard-working,confident young team who appear comfortable on the ball while playing a measured/disciplined brand of football .. they also kicked 10 smart points from play (compares favourably with your total from play in Sept`92). None of the remaining teams are eager to draw Donegal in the last eight.
Sometimes one feels that TV panelists tend to have very selective memories .. two such high profile pundits predicted in their Sunday tabloid columns "an ugly match with a record low score for an Ulster final" .. I will let two results speak for themselves.
1980 All-Ireland final KERRY 1.9 - ROSCOMMON 1.6 (when a certain Kerry player lay down for over two mins while his team-mates trailing by 5pts searched for his missing contact lens)
1993 Ulster final DERRY 0.8 - DONEGAL 0.6 (Youknowho`s first Anglo Celt medal).
Well done again and best wishes for the quarter-finals.

lets not forget Martin McHugh the silent Giant manager...he has Donegal and Kilcar flying

Well done lads! great result! cant wait for croker!

Well done to Jim and the team - great result

In hindsight, Jim was lucky not to get the job when he went for it first time,. this allowed him to take the U21's , start to evolve a system of playing and identify talent.... sometimes these things work for you...

Keep up the good work
