Why not?
Is it not all about getting games this time of the year.
Fair enough it's a tough watch for the fans on a cold miserable night but do players not want to be playing games, even if its away from home than training?

Their season might be short enough this year.

the game against Derry has already possibly cost us a couple of players for the first league game according to Geezer in the IN today

Hopefully they're the ones who couldn't kick the ball between the posts.

On a serious note (B flat) the semi-final must be in doubt.

If I was Geezer, Id seriously just consider giving Donegal a walkover

Unreal but I suppose ye do play challenge matches unlike us.
When and where is the final?

Good job you are not Geezer then, they need to fulfill their obligations, injuries can happen at any time, that said having this game in Ballybofey on a Wednesday night is ridiculous.

True that injuries can happen at anytime but they are more likely to happen in weather conditions like wed is supposed to be. Add in travel time, late getting back, players having to miss work you have to ask is it worth it

This is a semi final where the loser is likely to be the real winner.  Whoever goes through faces the prospect of a chinning if the Red Hard are in the mood.

Unfortunately Dublin dont play in the McKenna cup, Chinnings are subjective!  :P

You don't need to be Dublin to give you boys a chinning any time of the year

If match is going to be off, make the call is made this morning.

I would be very surprised if the game goes ahead, it's not even the pitch but the safety of the spectators that must be taken into account here. That drive for Armagh folk and even the Donegal fans who are quite rural are at risk trying to get to the game with snow and ice.

Call the game off and put if on either tomorrow night or Friday night, I suppose Sunday is ideal but the final is scheduled for Sunday and apparently the GAA have said they have no more free dates...?

Hard to see this going ahead tonight and the McKenna Cup being wrapped up by Sunday.
