Right? Bias or what is the reason?

A rare club ulster title won! Naomh Colmcille Junior Champs. Matty Crossans goal seemed to have given them the space to see it out. Congrats to all involved!

Friends interviewing their friends and given them jobs! That’s all I’ll say.

Well, one of the following things must have occured:-

The venue had no data projector available
the job was offered to a candidate, who was up a ladder when he got the call and was in an area of bad coverage
because of the bad coverage the interview board withdrew their offer

i could go on..... although I will await to see if Greg Hughes will get his teeth into it tomorrow on Highland.

(The Shaun Doherty Show from the John Joe appointment farce is Radio Gold - if only it could be dug up on the google machine)

Mick McGrath going for the top job as well.

Ballyshannon needs more County games.

On another note, some more shenanigans regarding appointment at underage level have taken place. We really are a gas bunch!

Anyone go for one of these? One arrived earlier and the fecking collar seem to be wonky. As in instead of it looking symmetrical like the photos, the left is higher than the right.

It came in a nice box though in fairness.

Not that one

Derry vs Down from 1994 on tv now (eir sport 1). Real throwback to open hard football.

The 2014 jersey was nice.

Anyway, Sweary Mary being touted as next County Chairman.

May God have mercy on us all.

Class. Was a bold move to change for the Mayo AI Semi Final. Have to say though the Green n'gold hooped Jersey they wore in the Ulster Final in '92 was the real deal. Went back to that style for the 1st Round v Antrim in Ballybofey in '93 but have pretty much ignorned it since bar the very odd appearance in an azzurri version in the late noughties.

New jersey coming according to the O'Neill's website. Not sure if kn is continuing as sponsor but hoping for something more pleasing on the eye than the blue clashing with the gold and green this time.

F.A.O. O'Neills - Please oh please oh please put a fupping decent collar on the Jersey this time - We not St. Helen's of the Rugby League....:(

Nathan Mullins being approached by Bonner and seemingly interested in joining Donegal panel. Haven't seen that much of him but the little I have suggests he would be a decent addition.

I got this from another thread which suggests they're allowed back December 1st.

The following is from this Irish Times article (published December 2nd, 2016):

Winter training
Exit June: Commence Training November 15th.
Exit July/All-Ireland Quarter-Finals: Commence Training December 1st.
Exit August/All-Ireland Semi-Finals: Commence Training December 8th.
Exit September (excluding All-Ireland Semi-Finals): Commence Training December 9th.

Have Donegal started collective trainng yet?

Back in a few weeks.

Poor by both sides but I predict that the Co. Board will do very little and let Kilcar fulfill the fixture when it suits

Piss poor from the county board.

Piss poor from Kilcar.

I see Kilcar have informed the CCC that they won’t be turning up for their U21 match today. Greatest of respect for them as a club but they seem to only want to play when it t suits them at U21 level.

Not what I like to see happening myself but with them up against Slaughneil next Sunday I would have some sympathy for them doing it.
