Replying To gunman: "We don't need to travel 5 hours to enjoy lovely scenery." Love it! Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 895 - 22/10/2020 12:22:48 2300186 Link
Replying To gunman: "We don't need to travel 5 hours to enjoy lovely scenery." Roughly 50 persons players, mentors ect ect at €100 per head = €5000 for Accommodation only no including food and other things, all just to play Kerry in a League match! I wonder will it be 5star Hotel? katser (Galway) - Posts: 1058 - 22/10/2020 12:31:05 2300187 Link
Replying To katser: "The Donegal Senior Football Team...an "essential service " there fore Hotels will welcome them! Best of Luck to both Kerry and Donegal...it has the makings of a very entertaining game, pitty it wasn't Live on the TV at 7pm Saturday." I believe Donegal asked for the game to be moved to an earlier time as it is such a long journey home afterwards. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1730 - 22/10/2020 12:45:21 2300189 Link

Maybe you should meet the team bus in Galway en route with a poster held high in protest? Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 895 - 22/10/2020 12:49:53 2300190 Link

All the players get to sleep on the way down and the way back. I most certainly don't get the purpose of a overnight for a League game at a cost of over €5000 not in the current situation. Plenty of ventilation in cattle trucks too! katser (Galway) - Posts: 1058 - 22/10/2020 13:12:55 2300198 Link

Every hotel in the country would be delighted to book a county panel and all the back up staff at a fraction of the price in these difficult times.

I'm not a big fan of the ghost noise. Id rather the rare privilege of hearing what the players, refs and managers have to say to each other during the match. Just my own opinion of course.

Replying To Lockjaw: "Couldn't have the waens listening to what the Donegal Tyrone lads will be saying to be each other Sunday week! It was tame last weekend!" It was very tame. Straight knockout will set a different tone id say. You might have to endure 70 mins of 'come on Tyrone!' chants for the kids sake ;) SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2020 - 22/10/2020 15:54:35 2300264 Link
Replying To SaffronDon: "It was very tame. Straight knockout will set a different tone id say.

Replying To Lockjaw: "At least we only have one McGee involved these days! There was a time when Eamon, Neil and Peter were on the panel!" The only "moment" last weekend was when Murphy and McKenna sized each other up. As one local journalist said on Twitter, car alarms went off in the town after their collision!

Replying To Lockjaw: "The only "moment" last weekend was when Murphy and McKenna sized each other up. As one local journalist said on Twitter, car alarms went off in the town after their collision!" LOL very good! Looking forward to seeing them go head to head again. Even though Donegal got the win at the weekend its still a very tough one to predict for me. Has a real Derry v Down 94 feel to it. Whoever comes through it should have a good swagger about them and a chance to go far this year.

Yeah look we're all aware that the whole championship is on a knife edge with the Covid situation and obviously there are way more important issues to be worrying about at the present time. But it is a nice wee distraction for a few hours every weekend. If Donegal do beat Tyrone they'll be big favourites to win Ulster again and maybe, just maybe we'll get a crack at the Dubs.

Serious stuff starts now especially next Saturday in Clones. Monaghan completely blown away in Breffini last year by outstanding Cavan display. Hopefully we can least put up some kind of challenge to Cavan this time round but hard to see much of a change and with armagh donegal and tyrone other side of draw Cavan will already be thinking of another Ulster Final and to go one better than last year. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1498 - 26/10/2020 08:51:04 2301471 Link
