If you think he isn't jumping ship given the state of affairs you're deluded.

Well there are two other clear mitigating factors so we'll have to go with that now until he says otherwise.

I believe that it is highly likely that the mess created by the CB has, is and will continue to have a detrimental affect on the players and their continued commitment.

Even the most committed players will eventually become disillusioned if those around them cant get their act together.

Is that definitely the case in Ryan's case, I don't know, I certainly wouldn't be surprised if it played a part.

Your some poster boy for the CB. Any semblance of criticism and your straight on the defensive.

I am not a poster boy for the CB, I am merely playing devils advocate. Until he comes out and says it directly himself we cannot put words in his mouth no matter how much you want to help your buddy.

I doubt its more than devils advocate that you are playing at fella, its only ever the CB you are defending. Also get real will you, people very rarely come out and state the actual reason they make such decisions.

Your allowed to use your common sense to read between the lines you know. You must be a fairly naïve buck if you only ever form an opinion on the basis of what has literally been said.

You go with the party line and I'll go with reality!

What I do have served me well enough till now so I won't change based on 'advise' from a poster who has been here a wet week solely with the intention supportting his buddy.

One of the factors came from his father on live radio and the other from another poster on here so not really 'the party line' is it??

There are a lot of party lines on this forum at the minute.

Peil20 back after his absence with more incorrect information. He would get a job on the current executive at this rate.

Fair enough, if you're satisfied with that reasoning.

There are a lot of good people on the CB and various committees surrounding it. It seems to me that if you don't back one side at the moment on this forum you are in the wrong.

No much info from you lately. Have your sources dried up?

What new information has there been Sherlock. My past post was saying Lacey will return when the 2 lads are gone? Should I just keep posting random stuff. You and a couple of others have been absolutely clueless from day 1. A tad embarrassing to be living in Donegal but not have any idea what's going on. Obviously an armchair fan who doesn't be out and about much.

Has anyone else heard that Murphy was at the first training session of the new regime?

No harm but I don't know anyone who backs the CB for their gross mishandling of so many things in recent times. Please don't kid yourself, maybe a few people closely acquainted with those in the circles but aside from that, 95% of Donegal fans are disgusted with the shambolic handling of the Lacey and Carr affairs, the silence around it all and the sheer lack of ambition for Donegal football which has resonated through very clearly because of the power hungry.

What about the vote of no confidence from the two clubs? Thought you would have had the inside track on that??

Then again, you were probably off supporting your own county in Croker which is a lot more normal than obsessing over another.

Thanks for replying to me again even though you said you wouldn't. It means a lot.

The info came from the players own father. If you have issue with it take it up with him.
