A lot of talk and hype around Donegal this time last year too, the media love getting carried away.

You must be getting the years mixed up. This time last year Donegal were in division 2 and lost 2 of their 4 games to Fermanagh and Tipperary.

At the beginning of the championship after beating Tyrone then, plenty of talk around Donegal challenging for an All Ireland.

"Challenging" is a loose term.

Dublin were never anything other then the most raging hot of odds-on favourites.

But, we could have made a semi or final (where we would have lost) had we not had the (for us) Herculean task of Mayo, who always physically bully the f**k out of us, in Castlebar.

I would place us in the "lots of potential, but still a lot to prove against the very top teams" column. We'll probably be favourites to win Ulster if we get past Tyrone, but below the Kerry and Galway tier after that.

So you mean last June instead of last February when you say this time last year. That's a novel take on the calendar.

"probably" is also a loose term.

It's early days for Galway. Great to see them playing football again but they still have it all to prove in the championship.

Savage amount of Galway posts in here of late , deny the giddiness if ya wish but Joyce has really put belief back into Galway football , I'm starting to think gawd no please no .

We're Fancy Dans and we'll get carried away with our own hype when we feel like it. So we will.

James Horan was on mayo news podcast today, He cleared up a few things for us supporters listening to rumours. McDonagh is still with the panel , Gary Boylan was released last week , Jason doc is back running , Ruane is only a couple of weeks away and Oisín Mullen will not be visiting Australia this summer .

Overall he came across very well but he's certainly in rebuilding mode imo , seems very impressed with the academy structures , back room team and chairman to boot. 
Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

Galway tick all the boxes, play great football.  The National League to stay in the West for me.

No All Ireland medals are handed out in January, February or March.

That is, unless you are Galway and you win the 1925 All Ireland in January 1926.

Thank you for that update.

Any particular reason why TG4 have not yet announced sunday's live and deferred coverage?

I guess with a bias towards the gaetacht areas, it's Galway in the hurling and Donegal in the football.
