If you are telling me that if you release the ball just before contact and can’t prevent onward momentum and you make contact with someone then it’s a foul then we know what Jarlath’s no 1 priority is. If a player jumps to catch a ball, doesn’t collect the ball and lands on someone that it’s a...

I think that talk that McKay was fouled in the line or that Andy fouled the defender for the Duffy winner are each laughable. If you stare at an incident long enough and remove all context you could probably make a case for a war crime. Andy bolts out at speed, lays off the ball and tries to...

That’s about it. On the downside we were terrible and we are not going to beat anyone decent on that performance. On the upside we dug it out. And we should be grounded for the final.

Scurrilous and without foundation.

Nowhere specific to post this but I have recently started reading GAABoard. I have also, even more recently, stopped reading GAABoard. Not only is it poisonous but it seems loaded with posts from the guys behind the board (under the name Seafoid) that are either inane (but stop a discussion...

No doubt the McGeeney apologists will try to make excuses for that as well.

Donegal edging this 15 scores to 13. Could be extra time yet.

I have some sympathy with the view that when a team racks up decent tallies of points from play they are purring. But there can be no hard and fast rule. You want teams to go for the kill when goal chances are there. You can’t complain when they take their goal chances. Once those goals go in...

Happy to see TSG attempt some decent analysis. Cavanagh and Flynn are far from the best analysts but I had no problem with their efforts on our game. Thought the game was a bit weird. Mainly due to Fermanagh who were genuinely awful. We did our work early, completely bossed the middle third and...

Yeah there could be 1 or 2 late changes but the team is there are thereabouts. I can’t see people having massive issues with that selection. I know numbers mean nothing but in and around midfield is the best use of Rian. The front 3 that played through most of the league should be retained...

And I disagree with that. I referred earlier to what an on form Forker brings to the team. I would love to have that. The bit I disagree with is his form throughout the league. To me he is off the pace a little (maybe carrying a niggle or has a regime aimed at peaking later?), I don’t think he...

I wouldn’t be shocked or disappointed to see McQuillan selected against Fermanagh. The lad has a lot of convincing still to do but let the convincing commence.

Forker in everyone of the teams I’ve seen. Given that almost all of these are teams people would like to see rather than the one that they think management will choose the obvious question is - does Forker’s form merit selection? We all know what an on form Aidan Forker brings to the team. A...

Ciaran Mackin wouldn’t last 15 mins in that team. He would be dead on his feet having done the running of 6 men. If I was mischievous I could name the other 5 men. The balance of that team is wrong.

I think it’s midfield and half forward area we need to look at. 13-15 seem settled and each of them can and do their bit around the middle. I doubt anyone would name a team without Grugan in it. The other 4 positions are not nailed down. Strong contenders but not nailed down. Across those...
