I'd say most counties will ignore the ban. Just like during Covid. Looking at the size of some counties it's almost impossible to police. For example if Jim decides to take the boys for a session up in Moville, do you really think Croke Park are going to have eyes up there? As long as the pitch isn't near a main road you'll get away with it handy enough. If only there was a privacy fence around the pitch in Convoy... peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1036 - 27/10/2024 12:43:17 2577139 Link 0 |

Seems a bit ironic that the GPA wanted rid of the pre season tournaments because of workload on players, yet they just ignore the fact that many of their members are breaking the rules and taking part in collective training sessions.

Not being confrontational, but can someone outline the following. What do the big clubs see as the problem with reserve football as it's currently structured. How can this be improved. What opinion do the clubs have on the current three division set up. How can the CCC structure/grade competitions so that clubs feel they can compete and not drop out after their first hammering. This is detrimental to the competitions for example Red Hughs are straight through to the u21C quarter finals on 4 points and they haven't kicked a ball. That's not their fault but it diminishes the competition. Whateveryourhavingyourself (Donegal) - Posts: 56 - 27/10/2024 15:19:09 2577151 Link 0 |

I think most are adhering to the rules, haven't heard of any County breaching it, and usually gossip spreads within GAA circles very quickly

Really? You didn't hear of a team training on Thursday night, Saturday and Sunday? Right. Maybe people are lying to me : )

No, never heard a peep and never seen anything. I'm sure said Counties wouldn't be broadcasting it and loyal supporters wouldn't be touting on them by broadcasting it on public forums etc.

Congratulations to Peadar Mogan and Oisin Gallen on becoming All Stars, really well deserved. We had a few other players who were probably in the running for awards as well, but 2 awards is good considering we didn't reach the All Ireland final and the finalists get the bulk of them.

Yes well done to both, particularly Mogan as he would have been a big outsider at the start of the year. McGee/Niall O'Donnell had a strong start to the championship and Langan a strong finish - those three wernt far away either along with McCole I'd imagine. But the finalists normally get the most and rightky so. Morgan is a class act and if these new rules go through he could be a good shout for POTY next year. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1036 - 31/10/2024 09:08:18 2577681 Link 1 |

Massive congrats to Mogan and Gallen, both very deserving of their award. Thought McCole was very unlucky not to get one, marked every good forward out of it this year. dgcrusader (Donegal) - Posts: 43 - 31/10/2024 10:48:45 2577699 Link 0 |

If Donegal were to get two All Stars, the first two names were Mogan and Gallen. But McCole was very close, he was tremendous this year again. Jason McGee was going well till injury struck. But then Michael Langan took the baton and really came into form. If the two of them had been fit they would've been very hard to look past, and we probably would have had Sam in the Hills for the winter.

And with Johnny McGrath and Oisín Conaty securing their All Star Awards, hopefully Ciaran Moore will pick up Young Footballer of the Year. SouthOfTheGap (Donegal) - Posts: 706 - 31/10/2024 17:44:50 2577763 Link 0 |

Very disappointing St Eunans. Really have ask where is the bottle in the club with the poor results in ulster. THE EXTRAMAN (Donegal) - Posts: 554 - 02/11/2024 20:39:34 2577996 Link 0 |

St Eunans will be disappointed with how they managed those final minutes. Needlessly giving the ball back to Errigal Ciaran. A game they looked in control of but couldn't get 2/3 ahead. And then those mistakes. Shane O'Donnell excellent, Moore earlier than that. Might do Donegal squad no harm to have that contingent rested a bit but disappointing not to see a Donegal team progress in Ulster when it was certainly on.

Very harsh to talk about bottling. A really good game that could have went either way. The subs had a positive impact for Errigal and not so for Eunans.

Tough result for Eunans in a game they largely controlled after the penalty without making it count on the scoreboard and there was the losing of the game. Some poor shooting and taking on shots when working a better shooting opportunity would've been the better option proved costly. This with a couple of really poor turnovers in injury time lost it for them. Patton gave them an incredible platform with his kickouts and Shane O'Donnell was the best player on the pitch on the night along with Ben McDonnell. panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2813 - 02/11/2024 22:20:02 2578021 Link 0 |

100% correct. Most likely a bitter comment from a fellow county man! Eunans controlled the game in the second half and should have seen the game out without doubt! They can hold their heads high but tonight will be hard to take. That's football letterkennyGuy (Donegal) - Posts: 168 - 03/11/2024 00:01:08 2578032 Link 0 |

I am absolutely gutted and disappointed about last night as a st Eunans man..but one thing from last night if jim doesn't pick Conor Morrison for county I don't know what he has to do..he was outstanding last night..one of the best players on the park RoryGall35 (Donegal) - Posts: 186 - 03/11/2024 11:25:27 2578062 Link 0 |

You can call it what you want but Eunans failure to make in progress in ulster is a failure for such a large club. It's easy to say it's bitterness which it is not by the way I would love to see donegal teams going latter stages and winning ulsters and competing in all irelands. But the hard question is why eunans who everyone would agree have the most rescources in donegal fail so badly. THE EXTRAMAN (Donegal) - Posts: 554 - 03/11/2024 11:48:58 2578066 Link 0 |

I know what you are trying to say to be fair but if you call last night failing so badly I am at a loss! One thing I do know is that fair play to them for coming out and playing some great football. I can mention Dungloe in the same breath to be fair. I would rather go down like eunans did than watch the negative muck from the other few big guns in the county! As for conor Morrison there is something badly wrong if he's not in the county setup next year imo. letterkennyGuy (Donegal) - Posts: 168 - 03/11/2024 13:17:02 2578092 Link 0 |
