None of them 3 will play Sunday unless we're winning by a mile and he wants to give them a run out like he did with hugh McFadden last game. We have about 18 or 19 players that Jim uses. Thats why Conor O'Donnell is a big loss, cause he is one of the players Jim would have been definitely using.

Yes when you include 1972, 1974 and 1983.

I saw a video online today from Off The Ball podcast. It's an interview with our manager from last year, Aidan O'Rourke. He's tipping Galway, says they are the best team in the country. I hope it's used as motivation tomorrow. SouthOfTheGap (Donegal) - Posts: 791 - 13/07/2024 16:14:24 2558702 Link 1 |

I think someone posted previously about history repeating itself and an all Ulster All Ireland final. Well that's one half of it done. Fair play to Armagh for seeing it out and getting a well deserved place in the final. I'm sure like many of us they would've seen they had nothing to fear 2 weeks ago and they delivered. Personally speaking I'm happy for McGeaney. He's showed a lot of resilience to often undeserved criticism but the players have fully bought in. Looking at the reactions after full time they'll take some stopping. Onto tomorrow and it's still so hard to call. I work with a few Galway people and there are all sorts of rumours regarding players fitness and not training but will play with injections etc. Of course it could all be smoking mirrors but ones things for sure if you're not fully fit you don't want to be facing a Jim McGuinness coached team. The kick outs will be a big factor I fell. I expect Galway might try to force us long like Louth to take advantage of their size differential around the middle. However similarly I see Donegal going after the Galway kick out forcing quick turnovers and some joy with it. I do feel with Patton and the McGuiness factor we have a couple of trump cards but there are a lot of fires to put out in that Galway side. As always best of luck to Jim and the lads. Plus safe travels to everyone making the trip. Hopefully we'll be discussing an All Ireland in 2 weeks time but if not it's been a great year with lots to look forward to. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2863 - 13/07/2024 20:22:23 2558782 Link 1 |

And what about 1923. Donegal won an Ulster hurling and lost a semi final to limerick. According to Wikipedia it was played in 1924. I think it was also first games were numbers were used in jerseys in the gaa.

The whole stadium bar the nally terrace is open now for tickets so should be a big crowd alright. No doubt there will be a big Galway and hopefully from Donegal too. The orange wall that was the Armagh support yesterday made a big difference so get the Donegal voices out today! There is no better time than the present so Donegal to put their chest out and best foot forward and whatever that ends up being so be it.

Cheers for that! I read the local paper on Thursday and it didn't mention the other years. I remember the 2003 semi now, hopefully a repeat of that in the final in 2 weeks. The others are before my time.

Good Luck today folks. You have the players and manager to get over the line. You need to get stuck in from the start and rattle Galway, don't let them settle. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9818 - 14/07/2024 13:24:58 2558948 Link 1 |

McGuinness's belief in divine intervention, alias the fairies, didn't produce his dream outcome on this occasion. It will go down in Donegal's GAA history as a wasted opportunity and probably takes the shine of their Ulster trophy. Have a safe journey back to the hills.
