Believe it or not people who were ready for Bonner to move on were not out with the pitchforks against him from day one and blaming him for everything from the war in Ukraine to COVID. He was a breath of fresh air when he came in but it got stale and we never fully recovered from the Ulster final loss to Cavan. Get over it and stop harping back to Bonner constantly like a lovesick teenager. I agree we can't really afford to lose the O'Donnells and Mogan but Carr can't be blamed just like Bonner wouldn't have been blamed by anyone with a sensible head on them.

Never blamed carr for anything I admire the man. So grow up a lot of yous and don't be looking for likes by commenting on my posts. Especially from armchair supporters. Lol

I'd say Caolan McColgan and Jamie Grant will start in the back, Ciaran Thompson in midfield. Hopefully Bradley Walsh will also start up front. I think that a number of regular names are still some way from fitness, could be the end of February before we see McHugh, Langan back.

I'd say you're right. I suppose Carr needs to find out who can cut it at this level and the only way he can do that is watch lads in training and give them their chance against Div 1 opposition. There is no better learning curve than playing against the All Ireland champions, even if they are missing a few. Does anyone know what the story with Oisin Gallen is? It feels like we've been waiting for him to fully explode onto the national stage for the last couple of years now. The talent is undoubtedly there but I know he has been hampered by injuries. Will 2023 finally be the year where he gets a sustained run in the side? Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 8380 - 24/01/2023 14:49:36 2453980 Link 0 |

It's a tall order but if we were to get the win on Sunday it would be absolutely massive for a couple of reasons. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 8380 - 24/01/2023 16:54:09 2454029 Link 1 |
I think with Michael gone a good bit earlier than a lot of us expected and the dragged out process of appointing the new manager I think many people aren't sure where we are at, and also with word going that some fellas aren't committing to the county team anymore.

We have to be winning this game on Sunday, as I said before no better time to meet Kerry, in fortress ballybofey with 8 or 9 of all Ireland team missing. We have to be winning the home games. Some posters saying they haven't much faith this year. I ask why not we supposedly have as good young crop of players as any of the top teams. I would like to wish paddy and the lads all the best . It won't be easy but this is the first division. Hopefully all goes well staying up definitely a priority. We all know the championship is there to be win. We have a good enough draw. Aim high should be the motto. rorysboys (Donegal) - Posts: 1906 - 24/01/2023 18:16:39 2454046 Link 0 |
It's a game Donegal should be winning. Good record in Ballybofey and Kerry have only 5 of their first choice team available for selection and still smarting from the recently hammering off Cork.

Gallery was named on the bench for DCU this week in the sigerson. No idea how fit he is though.

Fellas have to be fully committed to the demands of intercounty football, they are amateurs I have no problem with guys opting out because they can't commit. If they are ready to commit in 2024 then great. I don't care what Dublin or any one else is doing. I just don't believe at any level either club or county can you operate with lads who are 70 or 75 percent committed.

There was a good article in the Examiner today explaining the importance of the league. With the way that league and championship results are factored in, your only definite guarantee that you'll be in the AI last 16 is by finishing top 6 in the league.

Any thoughts on why a lot of our county men are only making the bench for colleges competition over the last few weeks ??? eunans4ever (Donegal) - Posts: 1375 - 25/01/2023 11:20:03 2454122 Link 0 |
Curran probably will start, he is some level ahead of most defenders mentioned.

He was named on the bench the past few years in Sigurdson. Hope he gets game time this year and injury free but he's injured again I'm hearing. For how long ? I don't know. I hope he's back in contention
