whooooo donegal more puke football on show in breffni park this summer cant believe we got them again at least we have the guts of 8-9 months to come up with a plan on beating them val start thinking.

Beat Donegal and a nice handy number against Derry and then the winners of Tyrone/Armagh. When you compare it to the Connacht championship a bit of a joke really.

Great, another putrid spectacle awaits in Breffni. Didn't we play Donegal in the 1st round 3 years in a row in the early 90's, losing them all. They are way advanced compared to us and I just don't think we will be fit to beat them no matter what happens between now and then.  McGuinness has some of them back doing weight training for the past weeks with a specialist rugby trainer. The only hope is that Donegals famous indiscipline comes back!

A suggestion for next year maybe.

The team that wins the Senior championship could play the County team as a warm up?

The County Team management could look at the opponent's tactics and try and replicate them so it would give a good work out to the Champions, get the county team started early and also give the county team some experience of using other systems.

Best of luck to CG.

Lads we have a genius in our ranks.

What bothers me most about the draw is that the losers will have to wait for 6-8 weeks before the first round qualifiers to begin. It be hard for any management team to keeps guys focused for that length of time between games.

Hopefully some of the under 21s from this year will commit to the panel next year. I think forwards such of the calibre of the McDermott, Niall Murray, Niall Smith with the possible Inclusion of Martin Dunne would be as good as most teams within Div 3. In the Backs you would hope the likes of  Moynagh, Mickey Brady, Fergal Flanagan and Kevin Meehan would make the step up.

Hopefully when the Donegal game comes up we will have reason to be a bit more confident.

Forgot next year at Senior the building will start the following year when hopefully new management are in place.

Its almost every year Cavan come out in the perliminary round of the championship.. wouldn't fancy our chances against Derry if we did manage to beat Donegal which will be a struggle.. Be interesting to see the u21 draw when it happens, think Cavan can do well again next year with a lot of this years team still there.

I believe we have Armagh in the 1st round of the U21 ulster championship. They won the Minor All Ireland in 2009.

Where is that game booj?

Don't think you are right there Rodney. It's a long time ago since we were in the preliminary round,  maybe against down was it 8 yrs ago. Donegal and antrim were in it last yr.
