If I was from Meath or Donegal I wouldn't get carried away with yesterdays results as in both cases the opposition are poor in my opinion. However I do think that Meath are shaping up well but the real test will come against Monaghan,Down and of course Donegal. I expect Donegal to win promotion along with either Monaghan or Meath, then again it's early days and anything can happen. OntheWhiteSide (Kildare) - Posts: 452 - 03/02/2014 19:48:28 1540914 Link 0 |

I know u21 success is no gurantee to senior reward but galway are both young and have good u21 success with 2 all irelands in 3 years. if we get our act together in terms of nailing a system of play we will be successful within 2 to 3 years at senior. every team has a 3 to 4 year cycle at its height and I think mcguinness is really going for it this season. he is a smart manager and knows that this is a defining year for donegal. the fact he has 1 senior in the bag will keep the wolves from the door. I know most will write us off for next sunday like they did yesterday but its early days and i expect our young guys to react over the coming weeks. still I think donegal will go up irrespective of how they do in pearse stadium. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 03/02/2014 20:02:03 1540928 Link 0 |

on the white side I know it is only your opinion but if we are poor as you say we are what does that make ye? in fiarness one should not judge on the opening day of the league and we will see who progresses further come high summer. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 03/02/2014 20:45:48 1540960 Link 0 |

royaldunne, Wallace is only 19. Himself, Harnan and O'Sullivan were all minor in 2012. ClassApart (Meath) - Posts: 1200 - 03/02/2014 21:17:54 1540976 Link 0 |

Muck . Let me explain. I have seen Monaghan plenty over past 2 years this will be Meath 4th game with them in that space and it reads 2 to 1 at the minute. They dispatched Donegal with ease in uf , in that respect I'd have them higher than Donegal, also they destroyed us in clones last year. Down I think were unlucky last year, and had some very good games in championship. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 04/02/2014 09:01:03 1541022 Link 0 |
Kiloughter if you pardon me saying so your response is rather childish " if we are poor as you say we are what does that make ye?" I wasn't talking about Kildare as to whether we are poor or not I was talking about Laois and Galway so stick to the subject please.

It not nonsense what I said about Donegal being a DivOne team playing in Div two Only for Dublin getting a late point to draw Kerry would have been in Div two. If Kerry were playing in Div two would people still not class them as Div one team And if Kerry were in Div two they would still be classed in the top six in Ireland. Regain 80 percent of our form of 2012 and with the same players who won Sam then We will win promotion and back as you were:::: DIV 1 team And I never said we have a divine right to be superior to either Meath or Monaghan or anybody else for that right. But the truth is WE were superior in 2012 and went all the way. If you are working on last years Ulster Final to make a case for Monaghan to being a superior team to Donegal you are treading on thin ice Look at the record over the last 25 years :::: Donegal:::: two A I ,4Ulster titles,div1and div2 titles Monaghan:::two Ulster and I think one league title. Don't judge Donegal on last years showing. A lot of people on here know they have not gone away and I'll make one prediction :::We will go further than Meath or Monaghan in the championship.

Dont get carried away there Royaldunne, Meath have a long road to travel yet. Big test in Clones to come and will be a great yardstck as to teams progress since the same stage last year. highking12 (Meath) - Posts: 184 - 04/02/2014 11:51:06 1541120 Link 0 |
To answer the original question on this post "Will Donegal take Division 2 seriously?", Sundays result against Laois was the perfect answer. Fully expect Donegal to repeat that against Galway, with promotion between themselves and Monaghan. moylagh (Meath) - Posts: 484 - 04/02/2014 11:51:21 1541121 Link 0 |

Royaldunne you talk some Brown on these forums..Meath win one game and youre already on about All Irelands. Meath10 (Meath) - Posts: 183 - 04/02/2014 12:37:36 1541149 Link 0 |
I wouldn't read into last weeks result against Laois. I was at the game and unless Laois improve 200% they will go through the entire league without a point. They didn't look at all fit and had a very poor game system if any!! Tir Conaill Abu (Donegal) - Posts: 1671 - 04/02/2014 12:43:17 1541155 Link 0 |
