Replying To totalrecall: "I wouldn't be reading too much into Sunday match in Hyde park reminded me very much of our trip to salthill last year. We managed better with the wind this time around but soon cheap turnovers and poor decision making cost us dearly. I thought mulreany did well against the elements but had a poor display with his kickout by his own standard with he wind. I would have liked to have seen mccahill get some game time with the wind. Alone had an impact when he came in. I was surprised no switch was made with mcgonagle who was second best for the duration against smith.
No doubt Kerry look the team for all seasons and their display on Saturday was easily the most impressive by any team so far this year." It's funny I'd say as soon as a manager knows that you're playing into the wind you'd love to make a change or two.. there was little joy for a forward playing into that wind and as you say it would have been nice for mccahill get a chance with the wind. it was possibly a planned sub from before the match. Mccahill will be busy over the next while with the 20s. Roarty might be used a little more sparingly with the 20s, a bit like last year.
The kickouts were a challenge in the second half. To my mind though Mulreanny should be given all the free kicks outside the 40 metre arc. That one langan missed should be given to mulreanny. It shouldn't even be a discussion.
Players got very tired near the end of that game and say unlike Galway there wasn't enough impact off the bench. Shane O'Donnell is big loss. I think he's such an under appreciated player. So much of the play goes through him. Then moores carrying ability and obaoills two pointers and Farrahs threat up front. For Donegal to be really competing at the business end they need pretty much all their players available.

No sign of u20s team for tomorrow's game against Roscommon. It's like they don't want anyone to go to these matches when they put it on at 5 clock on a Wednesday and then don't even have a team named night before the game . Surely there's a pitch in the county with lights that can hold these matches at 7 clock .

Tell ye what lads, what a bloody gem ye have with Roarty. What a player. Couldn't believe when I heard he is still a teenager.

Replying To Viking66: "Sorry that shouldve read Challenge Games, not League. Kilkenny will be decent in u20 this year." I don't think they will be decent at all this year. This years Galway group beat them out the gate at minor and I expect the same this year. The only reports on our challenge games in the last couple of weeks is that we gave Cork a trimming and beat Clare fairly well, and those were without our seniors. We've done nothing at u20 in Leinster last few years so there is a bit of pressure on them to win it and I think they will do it comprehensively

Replying To Afinestick96: "Thought that was a strange comment myself mickcunningham. Wexford and Westmeath is the only game that really matters for both counties next weekend . Its a real 50/50 game in my opinion" Of course our game is the one of primary importance, but if Sam Maguire is what we are aiming at-then the Louth, Kildare game IS significant as relegation for Kildare makes reaching Sam Maguire more difficult. But yes, that would be academic if we lost to Wexford. I think one has to keep an eye on those other results though, to get the full picture. Not so sure what was too strange about the comment.

You were red hot favourites with this group for AI minor honours 3 years ago and didnt turn up on the day.

Pres faltered again, won't win anything when only two forwards functioning, Cahalan and Poniard carried the fight all through, Hannon good 1st half, Leen well closed down.
Kierans took over in last 10 minutes.

Replying To Seanfan: "A belated well done on securing Di1 football for 2027 with a heartwarming display of grit, character and skill yesterday.
You mention all the new lads used in the League.
Great to see and none of them looked out of place against the top teams in the Country (Dublin no show exception).
They'll have learned so much coming up against the top players.
I think we should go all out next week but maybe managementvmight want to give a run out to the lesser used players plus possibly Brian Stack." I agree that we should go all out to win next Sunday. I don't know when we last beat Mayo in the National League. A win would also put Roscommon in the League Final if Donegal or Kerry slip up. We have only ever won one Division 1 League title(1979). I think it would be a great experience for our young team to play Kerry or Donegal in a League Final in Croke Park. Well done to players and management on a very encouraging League campaign.
