All Ireland Championship 2025.

[Real Talk]

 Having said that he's a Clever guy who has great influence on players and has assembled a panel of good players and his 'game management' is excellent ... will give Sam a good rattle

Apparently Louth, who for reasons I can't fathom, were staying in Enniskillen, got lost on their way to Ballybofey and ended up in Sligo.

Arrived 45 mins before kickoff and were not given a delayed kickoff.

Did they ask for one?

That said, with multiple routes available to go from Enniskillen to Ballybofey, and with satnav/map apps, how the hell did the driver end up in Sligo?

Someone said yesterday that they asked for a delay but Donegal refused. Could be balls though obviously.

The louth manager came out and said he asked for a 15 minute delay and was denied. There would be some crying if Jim was denied a 15 minute delay-

Duty of care Jim can't be concerned about the welfare of opposition players after sub-optimal logistics, the poor people of Donegal have to get home for winning streak ffs

Jim would not have hired a bus driver who hadn't a clue.

Not cute enough from Brennan, if he was genuinely going to be ready with only a 15min delay having arrived late he shouldn't been asking, he should have told Jim, the ref and Murphy that the game will start at 4.15

15 mins is mental. That should have just been approved straight away. Not like TV mattered either. It was on GAA+ so not like it's messing up scheduling.

[J70]

According to that Donegal Live article, this is what Brennan said:

It was human error in terms of navigation. But luckily, we played well in the first half so maybe it worked. And that the provision of 15 minutes, if needed, would have been sorted out.

You lads are f**king ridiculous.

"Teams usually arrive 90 minutes before a game is to start and Louth had asked for a 15-minute delay, which was not granted in the end"

Both are contradicting each other. Also says louth requested a delay-

[J70]

So amid the allegations and contradictory information, the automatic truth is that Evil All-Powerful Jim denied the request for a delayed throw-in?

Brennan said afterwards that the delay "would have been sorted out" if they needed it. He doesn't strike me as someone who would mince his words if he was annoyed about it or who would have given Jim the warm handshake at the end.

Perhaps they requested that it be considered, but given that they ultimately were able to have enough time to warm up properly and prepare, the game went ahead as scheduled?

Is that a possbility?

[greatpoint]

Users of this forum in particular seem to be losing their minds over Murphy and McGuinness

[Milltown Row2]

Tyrone asked for a couple of weeks delay one year...

[marty34]

As an aside to this story, the amount of bus drivers who don't have a clue where they are going is unreal.

I've been with team and young groups going places and they ask me how to get to the places.

I'm not joking. Unreal stuff.

Love being writ off already and the draw only made. You'd swear Donegal put 30 on us in Ulster ffs

Who is writing you off?

50/50 game to me, especially with you having an extra week rest.

Way too much being made over the extra weeks rest for this game, I think we might even be a bit rusty   Donegal had a handy competitive practice game at home, in contrast to Galway who had to travel to hostile territory,taken to the wire in a tough game and have more than a few players nursing sores.
It is Monaghan who have to improve a hell of a lot on that UCQF performance. The tactical naivety was frustrating especially in the first half.
We need Gary Mohan back from injury also a fit Killian Lavelle.
In our favour, Micheál McCarville at midfield has grown by the game and Ryan O'Toole has become a stalwart of the team. And beating a fiercely competitive Down was no mean feat.
