I saw Ciaran O'Hanlon after the game outside the stadium in his normal clothes. So he was not part of the panel today for what ever reason.

I think a lot of people are jumping the gun thinking that Derry will be in the Ulster final. They might well be but they have to get past Donegal first and then most likely Tyrone or Monaghan. There tends to be a lot of contradictions in football, we talk about how Kerry and Dublin don't need...

Easter Sunday

Totally delighted for the team, management and for me :) too. We seem to have found the correct balance between defence and attack with a good sprinkling of kick passing aiding super fast transition. I do worry though that there is a distinct gulf opening between the top 8 - 10 teams and the...

Beat Cavan and we are promoted with a game to spare, pretty simple maths and everything in our own hands. It's a great position to be in but enough peril at stake to keep the focus. The league has been good for us so far and we appear to be building nicely for the championship. On paper (I...

Agree with that and was thinking the same. What subs to bring on and when is a critical part of game management. Looking at our bench I can see 7 players you would expect to start a championship game however that is not to take away from the starting 15. We are in a good place but a slip in...

Good man Jarlath. That scarf actually says "South Armagh Brigade"

Personally I would like to see Oisin and Jarly midfield. That is their natural positions and I think they offer us an aerial presence along with a scoring threat, particularly Oisin.

The poster called two players "dungbags" and although I am familiar with the term it is not one I have used since I was about 10 years of age. Indeed 10 year old Diarmi would have referred to quite a few individuals as "dungbags" and, similar to our esteemed poster, the same individuals neither...

I disagree that Ethan is better under a high ball. Yes, he is taller and has good hands but his judgement is an issue. He made number of blunders last year with the one in the Ulster final the worst in terms of judgement and consequences. Blaine is far more assured, his catch at his feet on...

We are in a good place, if we win our next two games we are back in division 1. Whilst you can never take either Cavan or Fermanagh for granted you would like to think we should beat both. Wouldn't it be nice to be heading to Pairc ui Chaoimh with promotion secured and be able to enjoy he...

Anyone know how many first team players Donegal were missing yesterday. I know Jamie Brennan came on but that must be 99% of their championship team. Mark Curran at corner back is the only name I didn't recognise.

Happy enough to be honest. Our style of play is causing far more problems and is much easier to watch. Yes, we possibly could have won if Jarly had scored at the end but Blaine's penalty save makes up for that in my opinion. When Gallen was stepping up to take the penalty we didn't look like we...

OOOoooooohhhh, spicey :eek::oops::mad:

I don't know really other than always having a soft spot for them. They have had some brilliant players over the years Martin Lynch, Glen Ryan, Dermot Early and Johnny Doyle to name just a few and always seem to play an attractive style of football. Maybe they are too nice which is what their...

Cian McConville will struggle to keep his place as the year goes on. Any chance he had has been wiped out by Conaty who is a similar player but has proven to be much more effective on the score sheet. It takes a very special player to play that role and whilst Cian is excellent I just think he...

I think yesterday proved that Murnin needs to be at full forward. While his ball winning is excellent he is just not as effective out the field.

Kildare appeared to start the game by trying to prove the county chairman wrong and showing their toughness. Even before the throw up their midfielders were pushing and shoving our lads but it looked very unnatural for them and I think actually back fired as it seemed to distract them. Like...

I thought Blaine was excellent under the high ball and has been very impressive this year. I can't see Ethan getting that jersey back unless Blaine's form dips considerably. The double bounce was out of sheer flabergastation at being so far up the field with no pressure being applied on him.
