Donegal v Dublin AISF 31st Aug 2014

[haranguerer]

Ah sure wouldnt anyone say anything to get an oul grant?!

Or indeed, to back up a point they're trying to make on the internet

Doubt if too many of the Donegal team in 2012 had no jobs through choice. It was well publicized at the time that a lot of the squad simply couldn't find work (Donegal wasn't exactly flush with opportunity even at the height of the Celtic Tiger). Two of last year's regulars have left the country for work. I think it was Neil Gallagher who lost a good job back then as an engineer with the county council. Another bunch were students. So its not like these boys have made a deliberate decision to dedicate themselves full time to the senior football team.

hopefully Donegal can keep the beating to within 10 points.
Cant see Mayo being within 5 points of Dublin in the final.
Dubs wont be stopped this year.

Is Jimmy McGuinness still juggling his time between Donegal and Celtic?

Yes. I think I read a while back that he will be more involved with the first team.

Is Jimmy McGuinness still juggling his time between Donegal and Celtic?

Aye, in much the same way as Jim Gavin, James Horan, & every other manager  "juggles" his time between football & his job

Do you think they will beat Donegal by 10 points? Really?

As for Mayo. It's unlikely they will even make the final.

Horan and Gavin work in Ireland .. I know there is a part of glasgow called little Donegal but its not for real.

No there is not.
But go in and ask for a drink in the bars in what would have been the old Gorbals and you will be served in the language that you ask for it in but it is only Irish you will hear around you in the immediate area.
Everybody did not make it home after going away and hoping to earn enough to build a wee house back home.
Try this if you are unsure.

McGuinness lives less than 30 mins from Carrickfin Airport where he can step on a flight to Glasgow & be there in less than 2 hours from when he leaves the house. There he is collected & driven to Parkhead. Same in reverse.

No Dublin traffic to contend with, no driving yourself to & from work, nobody bending your ear day in day out about "the game" & since the advent of these new fangled mobile phones he can even keep in touch while he is away.

I'd say he is quite content with the situation, it hasn't done Donegal any harm this year anyway.

But can Jim fly himself over and back like Gavin can 

[Rossfan]

But Jim G. has a large coaching staff ( plus physical training, strength and  conditioning, admin, dietary, logistics, etc etc).

[southdown]

Could the Roscommon bus not fly Jim to and from Glasgow?
