Anyone got the inside story on this one?

Apparently he was pissed off at not making the team for the Leitrim match - if he had been on the piss, Brian Mc Ivor would not have taken him back - simple !

The only match Adrain started this championship was the Tyrone match and he was subbed off (Kevin McMenamin) early in the second half.......how could he expect to be starting for the Leitrim match?

As a Northern Football Fan I don't think that Adrian Sweeney woud be fit enough to start a match and last the whole 70 minutes. In my opinion he is more of an effective sub to bring on in the last 15-20 minutes if things aren't going well.

Was p'd off at not making the team and didn't travel. I saw Donegal train in Letterkenny last night and Sweeney was there so it looks as if he's kissed and made up

Have just got news from my source in Donegal that Sweeney wasn't available for the match due to the fact that he had to go and pick turf from the bogs.
