Replying To Lockjaw:  "Agreed. The social media output and website have improved massively since the current PRO has been in situ.
It's mad that the Ulster Championship is upon us again. Looking foward to the Derry match and hopefully we can get another big day out in Clones if all goes well for the lads in the weeks ahead."
Have you two accounts? Was there any need to post the full time score? Times common sense kicks in - "a good win for our U20s", etc etc

Eh? Not sure what you mean.
I'm not the Donegal GAA PRO.

Christ lad you have a serious gripe with our PRO. What did she do to you?

The scoreline was posted by Ulster GAA as well. Did you take umbridge with them as well?

It's county u20s, not club u16s. Be a bigger problem if the official channels didn't relay a score that would be posted in local and national media anyway.

I am just saying times common sense needs to kick in, would Donegal not have come out of this better had the PRO posted my line over the actual score? If people wanted to know the FT score I am sure they could have went to the website….

Replying To peiledoir20:  "You'd imagine a few of those outside the 26 will see some action for their clubs this weekend?"
Yeah I think a good few who are unlikely to break into the 26 should be released for club matches.

Tyrone actually gave Fermanagh a bigger trimming - 38 points, and posted it.

Have you pulled them up on it? And if not, why?

For a supposed ''Monaghan'' supporter I never seen someone have so much issue with people on a Donegal forum and working for our county board, odd behaviour.

You've little to be at.

I hope our PRO doesn't forget to post the scoreline from Clones on Easter Sunday.

This is his second pop at the Donegal PRO here in the last couple of weeks. The last one he accused the PRO of being woke for a Press Release announcing the return of Karl Lacey to the Academy.

The fact FarneyGael has twice had a pop at our PRO, and the fact that she is a Monaghan native, I would suspect that there must be a personal gripe here.

Anyway, I would like to wish him good luck on Saturday evening. Monaghan usually have an annual pitch invasion at the end of their League campaign. Except this year they may celebrate silverware, instead of the usual celebration for staying up on the last day.

Replying To SouthOfTheGap:  "Personally, I'll not forget getting the height of abuse from one Mayo fan in 2013 when they were hammering us out the gates in Croke Park. I was sitting on my own, quiet as a mouse, 13 points behind, and a lunatic in his 60'a roaring at me "Yiz dirty ........."

I'd say a lot of people also remember being relegated by McLoughlins 13 step point in 2016.

And the torrential rain on top of some of the torrent of abuse from a couple of Mayo supporters coming out of McHale Park in 2019.

Most other supporters sort of plamás you when they are ahead, and tell you that today wasn't your day. But I haven't had that experience with Mayo supporters. I know that this is the exception rather than the rule."
I don't know if it is the exception, never seen worse winners than the mayo fans in 13, before that I would have had a soft spot for them not anymore

For a monaghan person that's a strange comment, are you not travelling to watch?

Defending the Donegal PRO doesn't make me the Donegal PRO. I doubt she has an account here. I'm just amazed at someone from Monaghan coming here to make a show of themselves, but you're not the first!
