There are a lot of new posters shooting off at the mouth here & not doing it very well at all.

If you new guys want to learn how to give grief look back at some posts from the following

GateKeeper, Snuf, jimbo & my good self (modest nearly won out, nearly)

A little wit with the barb goes a long way on here. If all you can do is abuse nobody will pay much attention!!!




Mark McHugh was complaining about the complacency of the
Donegal supporters muckross; judging from some of the posts
on HS it would seem that complacency has slipped into all
quarters, not just Donegal!
A lot of lads on here just ain't having any fun! LOL

self-proclaimed mick, self-proclaimed....go instead for the short pithy, epigrammatical posts, not the novel length rantings of the so called gurus

LOL, this is an all-round classic post, succinctly barbed with humour and sarcasm! Brilliant

Mickyrua,
I haven't seen any of your posts so I have no idea what standard you're at.
I have been called a lot of things here in my time but "enlightened Buddha" is a first.
Welcome to HS all the same.

Was at the game in Cavan on Sunday, good contest in tough scoring conditions with Donegal prevailing over a tough Down team who gave their all but lacked the ability to chose shot selections wisely. Donegal have had 5 wides in two games, an incredible statistic and points to their patience of working the ball into proper scoring positions before having a go. I think they should account for either Cavan or Monaghan but as always, it will be a tight contest. Ulster games are never the most free-flowing matches but they give a neutral like me a chance to go to a match and get a proper tight game.

However, the majority of the posts on this thread are now laced with vitriol, old gripes and whingeing. Lets talk football lads and lassies and respect everyone's views. Disagree with posts but not in a bitchy way! If it continues like it is I think I'll absent myself for the summer.

Some of the stuff on here is hilarious!

We were lucky to beat Down in a terrible match, in terrible conditions, with a terrible ref (for both teams). I thought we did enough to win, its as simple as that.

I see where Tyrone player Conor McAliskey feels that Tyrone would have beaten Donegal if they had had their shooting boot on.
"People are looking at it and saying that it was men against boys but you have to look at how different a game it could have been had we had out shooting boots on," he points out in The Irish News.
The same is being said about Down not taking their chances, so are Donegal just very lucky to be in an Ulster final or is there something else going on?

Muckross.... Thanks for the welcome... It means a lot coming from yourself! You were giving advice on the do's and do nots of posting straight after I had a wee stab at Wayno for being all mean about Donegal and I assume it was aimed at me.... My mistake Buddha.. I mean Muckross.

Ah c'mon now muckross...surely it must be luck that you won your last 2 matches...it couldn't be a defensive system designed to crowd out the traditional scoring areas and force long distance and tight angle shooting...same way the small pitch in ballybofey (ha that was a good one) aided you...but these excuses seem to be accepted yet when donegal fans mention missing the best player of 2012 or an extremely influential midfielder being injured its not acceptable...too many delusional people and wums spoil the forum methinks! Anyway back to football...I personally think it would be good for the game if some team were able to beat donegal...it would then force a rethink on mcguinness' part and help the game develop and evolve further! Interesting few months ahead!

Funny that the two county commenting on Donegal are one that created Negative football and the other who will most benifit fron it over the next few years. Stand up tyrone and Mayo

No bother micky. Anyone who has a stab at our county feel free to give both barrells. Your rattle at me was very classy, just what I would hope for from a Donegal man. If only other counties could step up.......

Cool.... now to talk football. In my book a wins a win.Down were pumping for that game after last year. It was never going to be an eleven point win again or anything like that. The loss of Lacey, Gallagher and then Bradley and Frank early left us seriously exposed. Any team would feel the loss of Lacey and McGlynn, fast hands out of defence and great score getting ability. Every team we face from now till August/September if we get there will have a assive appetite to beat us. I pray for a game against the Dubs. I really do. Great to be champs and to be the team to beat. Total faith in Jim.

Some good, well thought analysis from Dara O'Se on the Down-Donegal game:
