Replying To Lockjaw:  "Anyways what's done is done.

What about this weekend? I can't make it down now unfortunately so I'll have to settle for GAA+.
As usual, not a peep from the camp. We won't know until 14:59 what the definite starting team will be I'd say.
It would be great if Langan is back. He is an elite player now and if we're to have any hope of going one better this year we'll need him at full tilt. I'd also like to see if Oisin Gallen can really push himself into that elite category. He definitely has the potential, but it would be great to see him fully realise it.

It will be very interesting to see what kind of attention Murphy gets. Hurson will need to be strong."
I though Michael Murphy and Michael Langan are both out for this game and the following game?

Heard Ciaran Thompson back training last week, but he is miles off getting game time unfortunately.

Haven't a clue if Langan or Murphy are fit or not. Obviously if both are out it diminishes our chances significantly.
Kerry seem to have a few knocks too though. We won't know until Saturday.

I don't know what station you are listening to for the past few days to get information on the Donegal team?

When Donegal reached 8 points in the league you could see clearly that the preparations eased off and with that the displays.They cranked ii up again for the league final and got a good performance.Then we had the big break.They obviously didn't go 100% for the Down game with an eye to Armagh and we got caught out.I think we will be back full guns blazing for the W/E again and we will see where that takes us.

Listening to good Donegal Gaa men from around the county, each one with worse news than the next. Half the panel crocked by all accounts if you believed them. Majority of them will be raring to go at 3pm in Killarney I have no doubt

Ara sure we're thinking of sending down the u20s at this stage. A tough ask in Killarney with a full panel never mind one decimated by injuries. We'll take our medicine down there and hope the walking wounded can be patched up in time for the last chance saloon match ;)

Or maybe looking for Seamus Coleman to make a comeback. He was a very fine under player at under 16 in his day.

At this stage there will be nobody on the pitch, if we are to believe both sets of supporters!

And it continues!!! Mighty stuff. The cute hoorism is alive and well. They will be some bluffing from both sides if we meet again at end of championship

Yeah it can be like a knitting circle up here at times with people gossipping about what they're heard.

The reality is that very very few people know for sure outside of the closed group.

Whatever Donegal team takes to the pitch on Saturday will be well prepared and give it their all. That's all we can ask.
