Replying To Samforthehills26: "I see from Brian McEniff's piece this week, he says that its the pitch in Donegal Town thats keeping FM back. That its too small for the young players...." Four Masters are going to be a major force not just in Donegal but Ulster and possibly beyond. As others have alluded to they are still very young and had lots of players in the US and a big injury in McCahill they'll be fine looking forward but it was never going to be immediate without having an established experienced crew before them. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2964 - 18/09/2026 15:34:31 2694227 Link
Replying To WeGoAgain: "I'm not sure why the moderator didn't post my reply to you earlier but I'd repeat, there's nothing embarrassing about it. One of the three is a keeper, another is a full back. Are you expecting Mogan to perform the same role as 2 Cliffords?" Not sure where you are getting your information from but Mulranney was their top scorer and McCole was playing at 6. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1735 - 18/09/2026 15:40:56 2694228 Link

Didn't know brendan played half back with Nauls, I stand corrected. Mulreany is still a keeper though and my point stands otherwise.

I think with the new rules, you need to have a good bit of physicality and know-how around the middle when it comes to winning dirty ball. McGeeney called it "piggery", and it's as useful a term as any I've heard to describe it. Maybe Four Masters are lacking a wee bit in that department just yet. In recent weeks, older seasoned lads like Ciaran McGinley and Martin McElhinney have had the better of them. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 10477 - 18/09/2026 16:53:51 2694248 Link

I don't know about that, I would think its inexperience in their ranks more likely, as another poster already pointed out. Commodore (Donegal) - Posts: 1962 - 18/09/2026 17:33:05 2694253 Link
