Looks like we're going strong for Tyrone…excited to see if roarty gets any action. Have we anyone else in a similar age bracket as good as him? Jimsam12 (Donegal) - Posts: 16 - 07/01/2024 05:35:24 2518742 Link
Replying To Jimsam12: "Looks like we're going strong for Tyrone…excited to see if roarty gets any action. Have we anyone else in a similar age bracket as good as him?" Jim looking for another Paddy Mc Breatey, Its outrageous hes allowed to throw in an 18 year old without him even playing club football. Look at Paddy Mc breatey, threw in at a young age and has never lived up to the full potential through injury etc. monaghanmad (Monaghan) - Posts: 394 - 07/01/2024 09:28:22 2518757 Link

He's not in the squad so if this rule is in fact correct he's gone for this year. Be interesting to see what Ulster council decide. Looks a good morning so hoping for a good match, strong team named but looks like the tried and trusted are going to be starting league.. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 2538 - 07/01/2024 11:01:39 2518775 Link

I don't think Roarty ever was going to be part of the squad for the league.It was just a matter of giving him a taste of what was involved in the senior setup. gunman (Donegal) - Posts: 1107 - 07/01/2024 11:55:39 2518782 Link
Replying To gunman: "I don't think Roarty ever was going to be part of the squad for the league.It was just a matter of giving him a taste of what was involved in the senior setup." It's funny how officious the GAA can be when implementing certain rules, and refuse to intervene where rules have been blatantly broken in a game televised live nationally like last January club final! totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 983 - 07/01/2024 14:50:16 2518810 Link
Replying To SouthOfTheGap: "What was the rule when Swanlinbar lost/won the Ulster Junior Final?" That was in 2010. Under 16s couldn't play Senior FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2792 - 07/01/2024 15:33:15 2518818 Link

Was at the game today. Quite lucky to get out with a win. Tide turned when kilpatrick came on and dominated in the air. I know it's only McKenna Cup but Are we short a few big men in the middle. Would be thinking along the lines of Jason Campbell Kilcar Jimsam12 (Donegal) - Posts: 16 - 07/01/2024 22:56:20 2518929 Link

Replying To SouthOfTheGap: "Big win, great day for the parish." I'm not from Swanlinbar. They were beaten on the day but awarded the title, maybe should have been replayed. It was common knowledge U16s couldn't play. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2792 - 08/01/2024 10:08:31 2518959 Link

Not sure what the outcome of the Roarty case but tbh it is pretty poor that they (or whoever is responsible) hadn't checked this out and confirmed the position before they played the lad. PeterQ92 (Donegal) - Posts: 109 - 08/01/2024 11:17:55 2518982 Link
Replying To PeterQ92: "Not sure what the outcome of the Roarty case but tbh it is pretty poor that they (or whoever is responsible) hadn't checked this out and confirmed the position before they played the lad." Does the rule apply for intercounty only or does it apply to club football as well? I must admit that I thought if you were overage for county minor u-17 then you were eligible to play senior.

Donegal are going to lose the points from the game that Finbarr Roarty played in, but that's the extent of the punishment. Bit of a let-down for himself that he thought he'd be up with the county for a while and is gone after 1 game for reasons outside his control. I think it's a good rule though, and he'll still have plenty of outlets for his football beyond this 1 team. donegal_insider (Donegal) - Posts: 584 - 08/01/2024 14:34:22 2519054 Link

Reports are that Jim is getting 8 weeks, Roarty is getting 2 weeks and we lose the points donegaldouble (Donegal) - Posts: 313 - 08/01/2024 17:40:06 2519089 Link
Is this not a case where croke park suits havnt made a decision on the age group thing,instead leaving it to individual county boards..is the player overage for minor,if so then I think he can play at adult level.. CTGAA10 (Limerick) - Posts: 2334 - 08/01/2024 17:56:31 2519093 Link
