A fair few trips to the Pale this year alright, one more to come.
Can only imagine the bull from Dublin if you had to play all your knockout games 3 or 4 hours away.

Replying To boxtyburgerbuns: "A better idea should be they should insist on toll free roads permanently. They are a travel tax on country people" They're a tax on everyone that chooses to use them. They can be avoided.

I'm certainly not looking down on a lovely County like Wicklow. If you want to make smart remarks about Donegal be man enough to accept them back.
I don't know or care where you are from but you have ( Wicklow ) down as your County so own it if your too embarrassed to put down your so called " correct " County.

What nonsense. People can choose to avoid tolls, people can choose public transport, people can can get together and hire private buses. There are many ways to get to Croke park you don't need to stay on main road.

I think the Gov should issue a once off 'Cost of the Championship' COTC payment of 500 euros to every Donegal fan given the gruelling season we have had so far.
and now that we have to travel all the way south to the big smoke again to play the Munster and Nation League Champions, it doesn't get any easier.
I think that's only fair, we could throw a few coins in a bucket going through Caavan to help out Tom and his like.

Galway Hurling thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Black&White26: "My point is young players are not being backed and are just swopped in and out of the team/panel for each other.
Dont expect a different result if you are doing the same thing each year. Back the youth and bite the bullet for once.
Nothing to loose at this stage." They weren't swopped in and out at under20 level of course, but they still failed to progress to the business end of that grade, which isn't a good sign traditionally for Galway hurling. Stretching from 1972 to 2011, Galway have managed to field a lot of competitive and winning under21 sides. Our recent season showings in this grade wouldn't entice anyone to 'bite bullets'. Fire bullets, more like.

Replying To letsgetgoing: "I agree that it is unlikely to happen but a ticket of Donaghy as manager and attacking coach and Donie Buckley or Paddy Tally as defence and tackling coach would be very attractive. All very experienced operators who would make a big difference.
Maybe I am dreaming too much, but surely Roscommon playing in division 1 and after good underage performances (under 20's & minor) recently should make managing Roscommon a relatively attractive proposition for someone with ambition.
Stick in your application Kieran. Go for it!" Hard to know how Donaghy would work with Roscommon or any other team as he hasn't managed any team. Will be that keen to make the step up? A lot stick to the coaching ticket as are just as well looked after and doesn't get much if any criticism when things turn south.

Replying To GreenandRed: "Kerry are the bookie's favourites because David Clifford is in good form and plenty of casual punters know who he is and think Kerry are the safer bet. They set the odds based on their predicted returns. Neither team on the day will pay a bit of heed to their own odds. Kerry very reliant on David Clifford, Donegal also reliant on Michael Murphy but less reliant on him than Kerry are on David Clifford. I think Donegal have a better balance than Kerry. Jack O'Connor is an astute manager but, for me, not a better manager than Jim McGuinness." That's a very good point. There has been a school of thought regularly discussed as nauseum that Donegal are overly reliant on Murphy. Really? Now don't get me wrong, his return has been quite remarkable and there is no doubt that he has strengthened our case. But our scoring threat is varied and widespread, was it 12 or 13 different scorers the other day against Meath?
So I'd ask this question. Which of the following would negatively impact their team's chances more?
David Clifford being ruled out for Kerry
Michael Murphy being ruled out for Donegal
Are Kerry over reliant on David Clifford? I've never really heard that discussed as much.

Replying To CCFabu: "seems I've been lucky for the final, lower Cusack at in between the 21 and 45 towards the Hill, happy out" Similar, further back and further from the middle than I have ever received before. And with only 1200 ST holders youd imagine they would all fit in one Section. I think 305 is 30 seats wide, so if you took from Row A up to Row NN (40th Row), that would be everyone accommodated.
And then do similar with the Kerry ST holders in Section 306.

Replying To Lockjaw: "All O'Mahoney was missing that day was a saddle and a whip." Three different Kerry players had a hold of Murphy by the throat at different times in that Final. This was obviously a tactic seeking a reaction. If someone is restricting your airway, your natural reaction is to strike. And the Sligo linesman stood watching it and then had Murphy yellow carded. I'll be very surprised if the same tactic isn't deployed next weekend.

Replying To Monaghan37: "Does someone need to remind you that killevan have won ONE league game this year. And you are talking about challenging intermediate? Mother of christ" Absolutely, if you averaged out results and number of wins over the last 5/10 years probably would rank as the worst club in the county at adult level, you don't go from that to a top end intermediate too easy.
