Replying To SurelyToGod:  "If you haven't noticed, our lads are getting injured at county training and even whilst doing their day jobs.

We've got it all wrong in Donegal. We play our club championship in the wind and rain, and make our selections and call ups based on that and trials in the middle of winter.

The All-Ireland is summer football and we've got a winter squad. How can nobody in the set-up see that?"
What members of our squad are not suitable for summer football.Would you have different squads for the league and the championship.

That has to be one of the silliest comments I have ever seen posted on here.

The players in the squad are the best players in the county, whether they're playing in the summer or the winter.

While I am gutted that we are out of Ulster and the 3 in a row hope is now gone for another decade or whatever, in hindsight this enforced break could help the team refresh and re-calibrate ahead of the All Ireland series.

Yes we will face a challenging away opening match to one of the 8 provincial finalists, which potentially could be very tough, but it could be also a platform to launch a full on assault on the All ireland Championship. Like we would be going into that game very fresh, and I would fancy Donegal to give anybody a game.
