It was a hard one to fathom. Obviously the wind was a factor. Donegal basically owned the first half and should have been a dozen points up but for some questionable decision-making and rash shot selection. Even in the second half, we weren't exactly starved of possession, but we couldn't make any innroads on the scoreboard at all. Indeed it is often mentioned that with our traditional hard-running, hand-passing style of play, playing against a strong breeze isn't exactly alien or prohibitive to us.

Langan won't be back and reports Murphy has picked up a strain too

If Langan actually is out for the season I'll be annoyed with Jim acting like there was nothing wrong with him.

When did Jim say there was nothing wrong with Langan? Jim doesn't need to broadcast to anyone the fitness of any player. In fact no information should leave the training group about any player.

Yeah looks like Langan won't play in Killarney. Brian Mc said as much in his Donegal Democrat piece and he won't be getting that info from nowhere. Congrats to the minors on an incredible comeback this afternoon. They looked dead and buried against a fancied Monaghan team but dug it out. They nearly done the same against a good Cavan team earlier in the campaign. Very hard to weigh them up. Were hammering Down prior to the postponed game and just about got over the line a week later (very very lucky to do so by all accounts). I think they have a couple of really good players coming back from injury so hopefully they give Derry a good battle with a win sending them into the AI series which would be fantastic. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2951 - 16/05/2026 22:59:20 2673422 Link 0 |

I think Jim mentioned in the press conference after the Down game that Michael Langan had went over on his ankle, insinuated that it wasn't likely to be serious, but he didn't go into detail on it.

Great win for the minors alright. Were completely gone. In fairness they just kept going. MAMG did very well in the goals. And the two pointer from ohare was super and the last point was from Gillespie who is a player who was injured. Fair play. Monaghan will be kicking themselves they didn't score in the last quarter. They had some big powerful chaps around the middle who dominated there for most of the game. Players like that do tire Donegal had legs at the end as well. It's also good to see two very fine players from urris. I can't remember the last time they had minor players. And minors is so funny. The down match being a great example of that. So fingers crossed for a good performance next week in Derry Ulsterchamps_32 (Donegal) - Posts: 1008 - 17/05/2026 19:04:11 2673619 Link 0 |
