“I do feel that decisions and stances he took denied Donegal the opportunity to win one if not two more All Ireland’s,” said Cassidy

No manager is perfect, and I think the praise of McGuinness has gotten has gone a bit overboard - from some of the stuff you'd swear the reason he was off to Scotland was to get revenge for Fionn McCool. Any word on the new manager situation? Anyone actually declared an interest in the job or anything mad like that?
Eamonn Fitzmaurice has done a fantastic job since his appointment; he is without doubt a tactical genius and the best manager in the game by a country mile. When you compare him to Jim Gavin who really had one plan which was all out attack or to Jim McGuinness who had one plan of all out defence, Fitzmaurice is streets ahead. For every game in this year’s championship he changed tactics based on the opposition with such little time to do so between games.

Glenswilly 46/23 +23 Michaels 41/18 +23 Kilcar 44/23 +21 Colm McFadden missed a late free (may have been the last kick as far as I remember) that I guess would have put Michaels ahead of Glenswilly. As far was I know, it's 1 v 2 in the Quarter Finals (i.e group winners are seeded). Four Masters finished top of Group 2 ahead of Ardara and so they will be seeded as well. Eunans and Naomh Conaill are through, whoever wins today is seeded. A draw would do Eunans as they have a much better scoring difference. All to play for in Group 3 where all four teams have a shot to go through. Draw for Quarter Finals (next weekend) will be held after the Junior A Final.

Hard to look past the Glen v Naomh Conaill and Eunans v St Michaels. I'd like to see St Michaels win it but I don't think they will.
