McKenna Cup 2024

[Armaghball]

Good side there plenty of lads in that 26 who’ll play a big part this year you would hope.

Hard to argue against McGuinness knowing exactly what he was doing. Hard also to read some of the guff from our own fans on twitter, some waffle spouted.

Donegal found guilty, mc Guinness banned and we don't get points

Let’s be honest, an 8 week ban is a joke

 

[Smallball]

Surprised sheilds is still on the panel, must be 34/35 now and hasnt played much in recent years

Oh it definitely is. No doubt about it, but he isn't stupid, he will have known the rules and this plays to his hands now.

Just exactly the same as would be spouted by Donegal supporters if the situation was reversed.

What was said? Surely no one making too big a deal of any of this is there?

Must be pushing hard. Was a stalwart for years before he got injured so if he can get back to himself he is some addition.

 

[PatMustard]

Corduff were stripped of an Ulster club title a few years ago for fielding an underage player.

You might say ah sure it’s only the McKenna Cup. But why is there a different punishment here?

 

[Armaghball]

Cause it’s the GAA LOL. The rule is abit dadt anyway. The lad is 18 ffs.

Great player, he definitely is getting on in age, but with his pace he will be a welcome addition, Ciaran Higgins in midfield? Would want to see him in full back was excellent last year against Galway

From what I've read nothing much maybe a bit of retaliation against certain Donegal supporters spouting about their magnificent win against our U20s! Nothing to get overly excited about that I've seen.

I walked into that one.

 

[POINTMAN]

That's a good line out, giving lots of fringe players an outing.
Realistically only McKay and Oisin O'Neil can he seen as likely first 15 players.

McKay, O'Neill, TK, Crealey, Higgins, Mackin will all be in around the 15/20 when available
