Replying To Eddie the Exile:  "Ah now lads, you are stretching the 'everyone's against us' trope a bit far if you need to add Dick Clerkin into the mix."

Aye indeed,
But his in yours, or you in his?!

Dick is irrelevant, in Monaghan and Donegal people's minds both.

When you read the article though, he is very complimentary of Donegal's on field achievements in Croke Park and is backing them to win tomorrow.

If they topped their group they got an extra week off. Did nobody tell Jimmy this :(

It didn't take long for my point about Dick Clerkin to be proven. One day lol. Him and Sean Cavanagh are transparently anti Donegal and have been for a long time. Neither man remembers the McGuinness first era with too much fondness.

Given that a second placed team was punished for having a home game and a third placed was rewarded for having an away game, referring to group winners is irrelevant.
