McKenna Cup 2024

[Rossfan]

To make sure they can have a chip on their shoulder?

Why have Tyrone lost their home game in super 8's (if they make it)?

Wonder where the home games will be played? Doesn't seem to be an adequate alternative venue in the county for Div 1 games. So it leaves Clones/Armagh/Enniskillen as the likely options.

If they are so short on numbers why didn't they do this again? https://www.bbc.com/sport/gaelic-games/38497207

Bring in the Masters be glad of a pre-season game.

Donegal have thrown their toys out of the pram.

[Carbery]

Why do the Ulster Council not bring one of the other five teams back in to play Monaghan?

Donegal pull out of semi

Well done to Banty, extraordinary success to get Monaghan to a final.
Now just bring the McKenna cup back home again.

There is no U21 team now and the U20s are preparing for championship in a month's time. They probably don't want to be horsed around the place in a senior game and risk injury.

Donegal would have been aware of this from the outset. It's not a whole difference to the other 3 semi finalists who will be down a host of panelists. They should be able to field a team.

Who would play?

They're down 13 to the Sigerson and a few more out injured. U-20s are playing Roscommon.

The request to postpone till Tuesday was turned down (talk about an insane schedule). Down apparently also requested such a postponement.

Its a mickey mouse competition. Not much option left.

And Donegal should have been aware of that. I'm sure there are other lads in the county not currently involved with the seniors, colleges or u20s who would not have minded a chance to impress.

Tyrone, Down and Monaghan are all in similar situations. I don't have the exact numbers but I'd imagine Tyrone will also have 10+ involved in Sigerson action.

I've no issue with requesting a postponement but Down haven't pulled out as a result of not getting their own way. There is no reason why a county with Donegal's pick shouldn't be able to field a team.

Aye so you think they should pull in 10 lads from somewhere who are not on the panel and give them a game? Are you wise? Totally devalue any merit that the competition has left.

Mc Kenna Cup and University competitions shouldnt be run at same time of the year. One of them has to go.
