Gelnties i think, the club, is considered in the gaeltacht as parts of the part are in the gaeltacht. but jim himself was raised near the townwhich i dont think id in the gaeltacht. But as yous said he lives in creeslough now with his wife, colm's sister. Think he has plans to move back near glenties though, they built a house so i believe

The smile on McGuinness's face is priceless

What about this picture from last Sunday?
I've noticed a few instance since the Tyrone game of the Kerry lads pushing their hands into people's faces.



Nice to see Kieran Donaghy had given up anyway !

For a team that prides themselves on fitness levels etc, McGuinness should get Durcan to do a few laps, the ned kelly on him, looks like he just hoped of the bar stool

To be fair to durcan he continues to amaze me. the way he can get down so quick for his size still shocks me... he's 6ft 5 but makes some unbelievable saves.

Still, I think the earlier point was entirely valid in that he would probably be a better keeper if he shed some weight.
Maybe he would but he's doing a damn good job as it is ! To answer someone elses question, hes working and living in Dublin as far as i'm aware.

Unless he has a woeful game v Cork Paul Durcan is nailed on for All-star. The back six will be the hardest to pick probably a mixture between the final four. Barry Moran should get one of the midfield spots in the forwards McFadden,Mark McHugh look certain while Alan Dillion is having his best year since 2004. Laois or Tipp may get one for their efforts.

How many points has he kicked? You know he is up against the greatest goalie in thehistory of gaelic games ever since the start of time?

Maybe I'm way off the mark but isn't it up to forwards to mainly kick points ? The job of th goalie is to stop goals and do good kickouts. If dublin dont have enough free takers or 45 takers without calling up their goalkeeper, that isnt Paul Durcans fault.

The sense of community and belonging. You can go to anywhere in the world and if you see someone with a GAA top, it's like meeting someone you know.

Agree completely. Every year on holidays if you hang around the irish pubs plenty of people walk around in gaa tops and you speak like you know eachother from ages ago ! Gaa=family

Only once in their history have Donegal won senior All Ireland semi final and that was 20 years ago. Saying that they blew a big chance last year.


never ever understand why people talk about past statistics ? What has the last 125b years got to do with the current donegal team ? or any team. like talking about say "last 5 meeting" before a game even though the teams are different and it means nothign?!
