Replying To CCFabu: "According to Jim in the post-match presser there wasn't anything wrong, he was asked if there was a niggle and he just said no and then spoke about the squad depth and people pushing to be in the 26.
He had a bit of a limp after hitting his last point but I wouldn't be worried" Hope your right. He seemed to pull up a bit. Mc Guinness not going to say anything else. Were have a good run with injury s so with one game left hopefully it stays that way.. be a disaster to get a soft tissue injury now.

Replying To SouthOfTheGap: "Yeah slightly outside of the usual sections where I would've expected. They appear to try to claw back every little perk of the Season Tickets every year.
But it's still like having one of the Golden Tickets for the Chocolate Factory." Did you enjoy the factory? Get a gob stopper?

Replying To Mfs: "How did you manage bringing the kids to games all year if you had a season ticket and they did not?" I bought one Adult and one kids Season Ticket this year. I also bought the 3 match package for the other kids for the round robin games. Couldn't justify buying Season Tickets for all 4 at the start of the season, cos with all their various sporting and social life commitments I didn't think they would get the opportunity to attend enough games to justify the outlay. But we made it work. Naturally I'm sorry now I didn't purchase the other 3, but money doesn't grow on trees, especially in January.

Replying To The_viewer: "Looking at it now, I think Season tickets are the best option for families. It's €150 for an adult & €30 for kids and that covers all 7 league matches.
When the Ulster championship starts, adult tickets are €30 and kids €5 and you're guaranteed a stand ticket sitting beside each other. Although the seats may not be as centrally located as you would like.
In the Ulster final the juvenile ticket is €8, and you also get the option to convert/buy an adult ticket instead of a juvenile ticket, if an over 16yr wanted to go instead of a juvenile. So they're flexible that way.
You also get the option to purchase the 3 round robin matches at the reduced rate.
The AI quarter final and semi final tickets are lower Cusack and around the middle sections.
For the AI final the juvenile tickets are the same price as adult tickets, but you are guaranteed tickets for the kids, as long as you purchased tickets for the 6 championship games quota.
All the juvenile tickets are €5, bar the Ulster final €8 and semi final which is a €10. So you're only paying full price for the final. For the AI final the seats are not as centrally located as the qfinal or semi, but you're still in the lower Cusack and you have a ticket for your child." Yep, for families attending most matches that would be the way to go as long as you can afford it.

unlike others seems I've been lucky with the ST on this occasion, didn't have great seats for the quarter or semis but have gotten lucky anois in the lower Cusack around the 45
it shouldn't really come down to luck or algorithms I think my opinions on Ticketmaster and the whole system is well known at this stage

He sat down with the bench and didn't go down a tunnel for treatment or anything so I would guess he's fine

There are loads of tickets in Monaghan, if you have the connections.

Replying To ArmaghMan02: "I have to take my hat off to Jim McGuiness and Donegal.
2nd Stint, back to back Ulster Titles, All Ireland Semi, now All Ireland Final, phenomenal players all playing for him, he's our McGeeney, you would run through a wall for him.
I genuinely would say he's top 3 ever Gaelic football managers, hes a complete winner and comes across humble. 2011 came in Ulster title and AI semi, now history repeating itself again in the 2nd year.
Donegal, only 4 ever all Ireland finals, and he's brought them to 3 as well as winning 5 ulster titles in 6 years stint (other being an ulster final defeat which is also remarkable).
Coming from Armagh where all Irelands are like winning the lottery, last year winning Sam brought me emotions and joy that will live with me the rest of my life. I have a feeling Donegal will be reaping the same emotions in 2 weeks time.
Set to be an absolutely cracking final. I think the hunger from Donegal to get a 3rd title will outweigh Kerry's drive for a 39th. May the best team win, as a neutral I cannot wait to watch this blockbuster." How can an Ulster man be neutral?

From talking to a few people there's a lot of neutrals who want to go to this game. There's an expectation that this will be the Clifford final. He is at a different level and people want to see him.
You'd probably take what Kerry scored against Tyrone and even his 1.9. Tyrone did a good job keeping Sean O'Shea and paudie Clifford quiet.
In the league game in Killarney foley was very good on gallen and guess they'll go with that again.. Donegal had a strong team out that day as well and we didn't win with much to spare. Clifford wasn't playing that day and Jack O'Connor was strongly referencing all the early season work Donegal as being a big factor. They'll be very confident come the final.
Apart from Derry who were not we've struggled with the division one teams a bit in the championship. Et win against Armagh, loss to Tyrone, last kick of the game winner against mayo. As such Donegal have parked the meath match very quickly.They did tactically get around us in 2014 as well and cian O'Neill is back in harness again.
Patton looked pretty good on his feet the last day and didn't notice him being bothered with the ankle.. hopefully they'll get plenty kick out practice over the next few weeks both on their own and on kerrys.

Murphy will be fine, I think he got a small bang to the ankle before he came off if you watch the play back,
fellas might be even be subconciously watching themselves a bit in training now though no doubt and that's dangerous too, remember what happened Martin Shovlin in the week before the '92 final.
I'd love to see Hughie get an All Star this year, he has been immense for us this year, an unsung hero.
