I would say at this stage its damage limitation vs Donegal.

Sad to see the downfall of this team. And I think the county board have no one to blame but themselves for the absolute circus the last couple of years

No team news?

Cahair O'kane has the teams up on twitter. McNicholl still in goals

As Joe Brolly would say has anyone a fuckin tranquiliser to put me out of my misery

Tally showing Mickey Harte stubborness levels in still sticking with the  McNicholl GK experiment.

Great result for us at the finish up, given the first half.

[just not good enough for county level all over the pitch]

It's to be expected that we would be poorer defensively given the turn over of players due to injuries and retirements, but to be so open and poor at following basic runners is worrying. The bottom line is we have too many players who are just not good enough for county level all over the pitch, main among them being Ben McCarron, how he is starting a senior intercounty game is beyond me. And I'd love to know what raffle they picked McNicholl out of to do goals. A decent outfield intermediate player all of a sudden plucked out of know where to do goals. Not his fault, he hasn't done a whole lot wrong and is doing his best but questions have to be asked as to how or where his name came from when looking for this outfield keeper out of all the players in the county. Unless he's hoofing it down the middle he can't pick a man out from his kickouts, and he isn't a shot stopper obviously. Even as an additional outfield player he is offering very little, not a scoring threat, not creating an overlap and not engaging opposition players. Just don't understand where the idea came from at all.

The worst of it is there is no one out there at the minute that we can replace these players with that are county standard, that arent already injured. I think this could be the start of a rebuilding process. Few years away yet before we reap the rewards of the minor teams and start to get some of them through. 

McNicholl didn't look like anything close to a goal keeper for that Galway goal. Not saying Lynch would have saved it but he'd have made himself big and made it difficult for the Galway man whereas mcnicholl just dived out of the way for him.

McNicholl might add a bit going the other way but he'll have to improve in the shot stopping department.

We'l be going nowhere with Tohill in the middle and Baker getting exposed with these new rules thats for sure

A lack of real star quality all over the pitch on the showing in the 3 league games so far

Shadow of the team weve been used to this last few years. Squad depth is non existent. We are in a really tough place and I hate to say it but the new rules dont suit this team

That's the ones I know of

Neill McNicholl in at GK tommorow, interesting to see how that goes. Looking at the bench, our squad depth is very poor with nearly all our subs being decent club footballers with no county experience

Hate to say it but I think this team has peaked and we are on the road down again. Missed the boat in 23'

Anyone know if there are any scheduled friendlies for this weekend coming? Wouldnt mind going to it

Any truth to the rumours Gallagher being back in with Errigal gone and LCC in as new sponsor?

Hard not thinking we could have been where Armagh are now

New jersey this season, I doubt there must have been an extension?

where are you seeing theres a new jersey?
