Not Under 23?

No u21. Roarty could get if Donegal reach the final. He would be eligible for 2 more years.

Young player of the year is 21 or under at the start of the championship. Moore wouldn't be in contention
Geaneys are well over it. 23/24.

Tony McEntee linked with the Mayo job.  https://t.co/Axn6gwbiTt

I know the Tyrone ones will be at the bolloxology for a fortnight now but really what have they got to fear? Kerry's full hand on display today, MOR is the man to put a plan in place and Tyrone have the forwards to beat anyone. Free shot. I'd say Tyrone & Donegal would both beat Kerry tbh.

All the inside forwards for Tyrone are small and nippy. Meath have Costello, Kerry have Clifford, Donegal with a few options.
They need some size to mix it up.

Galway are getting like Mayo. The nearly men. Good win for Meath.

I know following Gavin was a tough gig, but whoever comes next will be down serious players compared to when Dessie started.
Fenton, McCarthy, McCaffrey, Mick Fitz, Mannion. Plus you could see Cluxton and Kilkenny may not be back.

Gavin had a serious panel. He done well but

Cluxton staying on as long as he did was strange enough. Comerford was a capable replacement.

Was Sean Jones involved at all with Monaghan this year? He has good size and can score. Monaghan bench made little impact. David Garland been around that panel for years without doing much.

For whatever reason it's different for the semis.
Hard to follow the logic as with only 4 teams it is harder to avoid repeats.

But "thems the rules"

Yeah it makes no sense Armagh couldn't have met Tyrone in the semi final because of a match in Ulster but could have met them in the groups, preliminary quarter final, quarter final or final. Madness

Decent chance obviously that if we get to a semi we'll have already played all 3 teams.

you'll be alright. Haven't played Meath yet. So you all good

Meaths last game in Croker was a defeat to an average enough Louth team. Some good wins in between but all outside Croke Park. Louth running direct caused a lot of problems. Galway have strong runners in McDaid,Tierney,Walsh, Conroy.

Cillian O Connor opting out at the start of the year instead of retiring was a sign there wasn't full confidence in the management. Hopefully McStay makes good a recovery from the health issue.

Just read that report on RTÉ but must watch the Prime Time on it.

Crazy stuff. Seems the GAA HQ are taking a bit of flack over it but hardly their fault. Only thing was they could have stepped in earlier.

The wage bill from 1 year to the next is staggering. Cluxton even wrote a letter to club members saying why he dropped down a playing grade.

Hopefully Pobal Parnells get running again properly and provide a playing outlet etc. for the people of Coolock.

It was good to see Stephen Cluxton come out strong on it.

The Johnston brothers were flying in that game too. They weren't involved with Down this year. Lose interst? Liam Kerr also. Is Barry O Hagan back playing? Done the ACL twice.

Utterly embarrassing stuff.

It's very fair they've been shafted. And I'm no Donegal fan.

How? Because They have to play 6 days after a game instead of 7? I haven't heard anyone explain why this makes a difference. Anyone saying an extra day's rest can save it. Teams will be training all week from tonight.

Why give Kerry 2 days extra rest?

The optics are not good.

They've been on a long slog and extra days rest would mean a lot mentally more than anything.

Mentally it will make no difference, they wouldn't be chilled on the Saturday if they had an AI QF on Sunday. Physically it will probably make no difference either. If you haven't recovered after 6 days you are injured.

Why give Kerry 2 days extra rest?

The obvious thing to do was Armagh Kerry Dublin Tyrone double header on Saturday and both Donegal and Galway on the Sunday and it's fair for everyone.

I can totally understand Donegals grievances.

The rest of you can't see beyond county rivalries and the fact Mcguinness did a bit of giving out after the match in the Hyde.

Donegal do have a point, but they were probaly the first team back training last winter. Then went to Portugal in early December.
Paddy McBrearty as a Minor featured with Donegal seniors on the same day.

Understand that all four preliminary quarter-final winners - Donegal, Galway, Dublin and Kerry - requested a Sunday fixture.

Came down to a 50/50 call between Donegal and Galway getting the extra day.

The fact Galway were away in Newry yesterday seems to have swung it.

Yeah at 9.30. They had open cheque book rounding up County players.

Jim not be happy 6 day turnaround CCC flexing their authority imo.

Donegal wans need to be home for Glenroe, hence the Saturday fixture

Winning streak  and Glenroe. What decade are you boys living in? 

Next thing  you'll be saying is you'll need to  get back  for the dancing  at the crossroads

Still the early 90s in Tyrone.
