Replying To greenfan:  "You're right to be concerned about the talent coming through... best player in the first 2 rounds of the Donegal Championship... 37 year old Michael Murphy"
Plenty of young lads are still in the states or just back (and lacking proper match fitness)
So I wouldn't be worrying about that just yet.
Anyway hardly a major shock, one of the greatest footballers in the history of the game is still great at club level at 37.

Replying To eddieSize5Balls:  "You don't need a Clifford to win an all Ireland.
Kobe is great and will be better when he eventually comes back but the reason they won the all Ireland was Moran and Ryan O'Donohue. They would have won it without Kobe imo.

We have as good as a 15 as anyone in the country. Our bench is the problem.
I'm hoping the young four masters lads everyone raves about make it through next year. We badly need it."
You do need to top level players that can take on and beat their man at Inter-County level, stand out marquee players. We do have a a good number of top level quality players, but there hasn't been many attacking players breaking through in the last 4-5 years and that is worrying.

To challenge for All Ireland titles, we need be constantly bring though top level players, and lately it feels like not the case. I hope I am proved wrong, I really do mean that, just a bit worried at the moment.

It is not so long ago that we were raving about our young talent ie Malone ,McCahill,Campbell etc.Why all this worry all of a sudden.Kobe is a generational talent for his age and I don't think any county will have the likes of him coming along any time soon.On a positive note from reading reports it looks like all our current county players are playing well in the club championship.I would like to see big Kieran Gallagher get a run this year.

At least two men put up double digit tallies at the weekend. Fair play Oisin Doherty and Eoin Martin. Both very good footballers.
