I actually like it, although need to see what it looks like on the pitch, but like the look of it.

Reminded me of the old arsenal jersey that had SEGA on it…or a potential Jamaican design

As long as what's coming in is greater than spend, who cares once the teams are competing?

Genuine question here, where does the money for our county teams come from. Do we really take in £2m in sponsorship and gate receipts? Or are we putting ourselves in debt?!
Anyone in the know that could tell us?

Yeah seen that, thought he was nailed on for the county team. No real word about it, might hear some rumours tomorrow at the convention possibly. Not a lot of info comes out regarding the county team ie players that have been brought into the squad, coaching or s&c changes etc.

If I get a new jersey and a season pass for GAA+ I'll be very happy, dropping a few hints lol.

Just seen the GAA+ Season pass is on sale for 2026, think its €79 or €89, definitely want that. Have my Donegal GAA season ticket sorted. Its an expensive hobby these days.

Big statement from Eunans. Word is players wanted a county pedigree coach.

Was thinking McGuinness is no mug after all......

While astute at setting teams up, his inability to make switches under pressure is fatal.

Jim McGuiness 6 Years in charge as a Senior manager
2011 Ulster Champions
2012 Ulster Champions, 2012 All Ireland Champions
2013 Ulster Finalist
2014 Ulster Champions, 2014 All Ireland finalist
2024 Ulster Champions
2025 Ulster Champions, 2025 All Ireland finalist


What where Monaghan doing while Jim was feeling the pressure over the same 6 years
2011 serving pints to Donegal fans in clones and booking their summer holiday early
2012 Getting ready for the Big tom Festival and booking their summer holiday early
2013 Ulster Champions, well deserving champions also
2014 Division 2 champions and booking their summer holiday early
2024 Just booking their summer holiday early
2025 Monaghan tractor pull 2025 and booking their summer holiday early

there is a strong theme about one manager being successful which is not luck and others getting to book their holidays early. I suppose it will be Santa Ponsa early this summer again ;-), don't forget the sun cream .
