Won't happen peilodoir I'm a stayer. Why do you keep posting about me. I can debate anything about football in a fair manner, I can gave praise when it's needed and often do I very rarely abuse players or management I respect the effort they put in.. I definitely don't belittle the effort players who have an all Ireland in their back pockets have put in.. all good men . What have you ever done on a football field . You laugh at me getting 6 points in lockjaw's competition. Does it mean that you got more points than me that you know more about football than I do. In your world you probably think that.. there's a lot of great gaa people in Donegal who deserve our county being up with the likes of Kerry and Dublin. We have decent support by going to all the games you get to meet these fantastic people but were miles off the mayo's of this world, we have about 3 to 4 thousand hardcore supporters who travel everywhere. These are the people I love to see Jim and the boys doing well for but as for the bandwagon supporters like yourself I just don't entertain yous. Mayo had 13000 at last home game we wudnt even get that in championship unless we get to play a big team in croker…. .

Yeah I think Kieran was destined for a great county career but for the series of unfortunate injuries. At this stage I'd say just let him be happy with whatever level of football he feels comfortable at.

He'll be 27 this summer. Still time, if he stays injury free and has the hunger for intercounty. I suspect he wants to get back to that level. He's put incredible effort into his rehab. Good to see him kicking balls. Listening to the DL debate interview with Kieran Cunningham this week he mentioned that McGuinness tried to convince MacNiallais (as well as Murphy) to sign up. Word on the street is MacNiallais is off to Australia.

If we can't beat the Erne men at home - no matter what the record at the venue is - forget about been any type of serious operator. We will IMO put them away easily. eunans4ever (Donegal) - Posts: 1657 - 13/02/2024 22:06:50 2525945 Link 0 |
He did not play 2 ulster championships- your as far away as Fanad lighthouse from the club scene

Hi rorysboys: You are correct. From the archives there was an S Patton in goals both days, 9th Nov 14 and 16th Nov 14.

I admire your confidence and hope you're right. Beware pride before a fall though!

I predicted a 6 pt win. No way will Fermanagh beat us. They beat us in Rory Gallagher's time in o donnell park because a lot of our established players wernt rushed back and we played a fairly experimental side. With Donegal going strong it should be handy enough points. The Armagh game is the one that'll gave us an idea where were at.. Jim or mc geeney will not want to lose that one.. by the way I'm not being disrespectful to Fermanagh a small county who deserve a lot of praise.

Correct, Maxi called him in for the ulster campaign in 2014. That is the only 2 games he played for Eunans prior to Bonner getting him involved with the county. He was with Sligo in 2017 and got injured. Cork wanted to sign him but Bonner approached him and he decided to commit to the gaelic. Word on the street was that certain members of Eunans were unhappy about Bonner taking a soccer man into the Donegal squad, Haran included. A few phone calls were made as well citing Eunan's unhappiness. I bet Eunan's are happy now that Bonner persuaded Patton to commit to the GAA.

Eunans had probably approached PaPa or Niall Morgan or another keeper to join them. Anyways back to the game, it should be in Ballyshannon, we need another 2 points and we'd get them there. There would have been a massive crowd and atmosphere. Fermanagh were excellent the last day out and the days of them been fragile like Beleek China are long gone. It will a battle. I hope for two more points on the board. Ulsterchamps72 (Donegal) - Posts: 98 - 14/02/2024 14:54:00 2526054 Link 1 |
Eunans maintained after the defeat to St Enda's that the Omagh club knew all about them. They had serious homework done on them and knew stuff that they shouldn't have known.

Yea that's the story I heard too. Eunans forever must have been one of the unhappy ones he's still denying it. At the end of the day it was a great bit of business, I remember being at the mc kenna cup game he made his debut I think it was in clones. He had a few shaky moments that day but a few months later he was number 1 and has never looked back..

Yeah the Armagh game will be the real acid test ahead of Derry in April. The question is whether McGuinness will go all out to try and beat Armagh or see where we are at or if he will not show his hand yet. Commodore (Donegal) - Posts: 1182 - 14/02/2024 15:22:25 2526060 Link 0 |
I know that but I feel he will want to lay down a marker to Armagh, there's a lot at stake in that game although in all probability whoever loses the game will still finish second.. you have to show your hand sometime .
