Could ye imagine the comments if social media was around on a cold Sunday in Ballinascreen in 1984.

Well that comment really is the last Straw. Mods!

Conor Counihan's rugby boots would generated 100 pages, poor bastid would probably have been cancelled.

Good start for Donegal in Killarney, 0-4 to no score after 10 minutes.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Half time Kerry 0-7 Donegal 0-11.  As the lads said on Kerry radio, Donegal well worth their lead probably should be further in front.


After 50 minutes   Kerry: 0-11 Donegal: 0-17.  Ryan McHugh with 0-5 from wing half back.

After 60 minutes Kerry: 0-16  Donegal: 0-19

Goal fro Kerry on 62 minutes Diarmuid O'Connor.  Donegal respond with a point 1-16 to 0-21

Into added time  two pointer for Sean O'Shea  Kerry 1-18 Donegal 0-22

Donegal win 0-23 to 1-18

First ever win in Killarney for Donegal!

We'd a relatively stronger team out again, so important to get the result. Young Roarty sounds like a very promising corner back at a very timely point with the changes in the rules.

Three more points from five games is all we need now as a league final appearance is not in the plans.

Quote from: JPO on February 06, 2025, 10:55:52 PMGaelic football is a sport. The team with the best players is more likely to win the match.Like all other sports. Thats how it should be,simple.If a team has players who cant win  a ball from a kickout because the players are too small so what? If players cant defend one on one or kick 2 pointers from 40 metres then they deserve to get beaten.The best teams will be left in the championship as it should be. Thats sport. With these  rule changes hopefully the game will evolve so that the players who really dont have the ability to play gaelic football will be exposed.   

There is so much more to Sport than that though.  If the team  with the best players one constantly it would take away much of the excitement from the game. I like that different approaches and strategy can be implemented to counter the difference in player's ability.  I dont like when rules are implemented to curtail the options available.  I also dont like when rules are introduced to for example make the conditions a greater factor than they were or to curtail the effect of a certain type of player

So far Jim has blamed

- a game played 7 days earlier
- the game being down the road

So far Jim has not blamed

- training load determined by Jim
- the warm up conducted by Jim and trainer

He's one of number of managers calling for 6/7 subs to be brought in and valid argument to make IMO.
