Why does the western part of Donegal produce so many footballers good enough to play inter county football, while the east does not?

Yes and the reason Dublin have now three on there trot.

That game against Donegal showed Dublins weakness and they decided to use Cian O Sullivan as a sweeper as a result. Since then, they haven't been beaten in the championship.

Dublin in 2014 being the All Ireland champions were then being talked off as unbeatable and being talked about as five in a row. Granted they have use a sweeper since then, but if it was just as simple as seeing they had no sweeper how come no other manager as this.? J Mc Guinness's strategy that day in 2014 was a lot more than just seeing that Dublin didn't use a sweeper. If it was that simply then you would imagine some manager since would have worked out how to counteract it.
babybuilder wrote: Was implying Dublin can thank Donegal (well McGuinness) for highlighting deficiencies in their play. Don't forget also the fine margins in Donegals win namely the fantastic saves / blocks (or bad misses if you're a dub) to keep donegal in it. unfortunately our boat has long since sailed with no return in sight.

Could we adapt to a more progressive and offensive style of play and become successful? Also, does anyone know where and when the Donegal train, and if the public is allowed to watch? This will probably be subject to change when the new manager is appointed aswell I guess. I'm assuming they aren't training at the moment as the season has finished.

Lyster and O'Rourke did speak warmly about the day in 1992 itself and the team, but all very brief. It was the only segment of the Half Time coverage I watched. Spillane and Brolly's disdain for each other is cringeworthy.
