Please enlighten me on the wrong calls that I've made. I'd like to hear your response? Is making an opinion about something a wrong call now? Where did free speech go in this country ?

Met Eireann predicting light rain and temperatures between 13 and 18 for Sunday afternoon . Unless you're from the Antartic, I don't think 18 degrees could be classified as a scorcher.

Any day you get 18 in Donegal is a scorcher

With the summer so far 18degrees can be classified as a scorcher.

Agreed.

June and July and we still have nights we need the central heating.

18 degrees and rain is a fine day and players would no doubt be happy with that.
Just a word to anyone going to the upper levels. Its pretty much always cold there so an extra layer of clothing won't go astray.
I see only two sections of upper levels aren't open so hopefully it will be over the 60k they are estimating and there will be a great atmosphere. Up Donegal!

Panel just announced. Looks like Conor O'Donnell is out? Not even on standby panel, must have suffered another injury setback? Such a pity, even if he wasn't fit top start he'd be a greta man to bring on to kick a couple of points.

Jason McGee is named on the bench, with Jeaic MacCeallnhuí named at wing forward. I think that could change close to throw-in. I feel we need Jason to start and give us everything he has, even if he can't last the full match.

Looking at panel announcement, it looks like Conor O Donnell is out again..named in extended panel list..if , as one would think it's an injury, I hope it's not another serious one. .

I think Conor O'Donnell is definitely out. Teams are allowed to update the 26 in cases where a player is injured or can't attend, but it has to be from the standby panel. With him being named in the extended panel I believe that rules him out completely.

Replying To SouthOfTheGap:  "Yes, it's very hard to know what goes on in training. I'm sure everyone is driving each other, and I'd say even the battle for that 26 jersey is as tough as the rest.

What wouldn't surprise me is if a name that hasn't even made the 26 is parachuted by Jim, like he did with Jigger. It's been a long time since we have seen the likes of Luke McGlynn, Oisín Caulfield or Domhnall McGiollaBhríde, but they could offer a little something different to the norm, and have the benefit of getting good game time during the league. Only those at training will know who is on form and who is not."
Luke McGlynn makes the 26.

Oisin Caulfield and Domhnall McGiollaBhríde in the standby panel.

Like I said, don't be surprised to see any of these feature on Sunday (or beyond).

The man has a plan; Until Victory Always.

Conor is on the standby panel, so he in the 30. Be very surprised if that 15 starts. Also, see Luke McGlynn back in the 26.

Only 2 days away from only our 6th ever All Ireland Semi, can't wait for the game now. It's crazy that Jim has taken us to 4 of those 6. Hopefully he can manage to get us into another final as well. These days don't come around often so enjoy it all.

Hopefully COD injury isn't serious, a big blow. Fingers crossed for McGee. Best of luck to all involved for Sunday.
