Replying To ryan: "Karl Lacey gone now nearly 2 weeks and coaches gone last week. Not a word of communication from the county board to the parents, the clubs or the supporters of Donegal GAA. It is also very noticeable how this has been dealt with on local radio and the local media. It's like we are living in North Korea." Donegal might as well be North Korea in lots of ways when you look at how we are ignored up here for most things, I watched the DL debate with Muprh and big Neil on, not a mention of the elephant in the room, I have the greatest of respect and gratitude towards Murph but I just don't believe the story that he had decided after the last game in Clones than he was packing in playing county football, I think the mess the county board made of selecting the new manager was what helped make his mind up and looking at it maybe he is as well off out of it.

Replying To Donegal_abroad: "They don't believe in communication, only a behind the scenes type until they can attempt to control the narrative publicly, but they're not even able to do that. North Korea is better run in that regard." What I would like to know is how much does our 22 executive members and our full-time administrator who was due to retire 2 years ago get paid in expenses every year? Is there a reason why you wouldn't retire? Is this why they r rubbishing the academy and saying it is costing too much money?????? ryan (Donegal) - Posts: 748 - 15/02/2023 21:44:24 2458453 Link
Replying To jacktheboy: "news coming through of a serious injurt to top donegal forward leaving him out for rest of season." Very bad news indeed. A bad hamstring injury for Paddy I heard. We can only hope it isn't as bad as is being reported and that he can play his part later in the year. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9765 - 16/02/2023 09:02:10 2458458 Link

I'm not privy to financial reporting for the county board but I wonder is it done internally or audited externally? Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1414 - 16/02/2023 09:37:43 2458465 Link

Hi Ryan: Very surprised some of our "top" sports journalists in the county haven't been all over this story. They would be hounding people for mickey mouse stories. The same journos giving out about meetings held in camera. Have they been censored I wonder. AudiMan (Donegal) - Posts: 683 - 16/02/2023 11:35:22 2458486 Link

There was a candidate there waiting to take the job then the pulled out due to certain issues ,thats what created the problem.Not just the county board. heyday (Laois) - Posts: 35 - 16/02/2023 13:09:38 2458510 Link

A lot of our media people are being told that they will lose access to players if they question anything in articles or podcasts. Hard to believe in this day and age but sadly true. ryan (Donegal) - Posts: 748 - 16/02/2023 14:19:21 2458533 Link

Where is it reported as "bad" Paddy Carr has stated its hamstring injury and was taken off v Tyrone. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3617 - 16/02/2023 14:38:06 2458536 Link

Replying To Gaa_lover: "Where is it reported as "bad" Paddy Carr has stated its hamstring injury and was taken off v Tyrone." Well there are different grades of hamstring injuries and I've heard that the one Paddy suffered is at the more serious end of the scale. Hopefully that is wrong though.

I well know there is different grades. All I see reported was as I posted and direct comment from the Donegal manager. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3617 - 16/02/2023 15:54:50 2458554 Link

Yeah I heard what Carr said too so hopefully McBrearty will be back sooner rather than later. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9765 - 16/02/2023 16:34:06 2458563 Link

Replying To neutral: "Paddy is cute imo always refers everything to medical people.Dont be surprised Paddy mac togging sunday." From what I heard he won't be togged for a while. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8388 - 16/02/2023 18:29:10 2458578 Link
Paddy Carr stated more or less nothing was confirmed. These type of injuries need second and third specialist opinions so he's not going to be telling the media anything without it confirmed. Common sense. But the early news /diagnosis is terrible. He'll be gone for the year not unless the first scan was wrong. TheRock2121 (Donegal) - Posts: 1208 - 16/02/2023 18:46:22 2458581 Link
Replying To neutral: "Paddy is cute imo always refers everything to medical people.Dont be surprised Paddy mac togging sunday." Unusual situation to get a hamstring injury.He was clearly fouled but the ref didn't give it.He went down and was limping when he got up. gunman (Donegal) - Posts: 1152 - 16/02/2023 20:01:55 2458589 Link
It was an innocous shove in the back definetly a foul but how it turned out so bad for him freaky. neutral (None) - Posts: 358 - 16/02/2023 21:00:47 2458592 Link
