The Mayo players were not brave enough to win. They passed the buck whenever they got into the final 3rd by passing it to somebody else to shoot. The guy at end choked with the wide free kick. I don't know why the players were crying at the end. They didn't deserve it due to their own mental weaknesses. The Dublin team are vermin. |

The carrot of 3 in a row will likely prevent any retirements, bar maybe Bastick. Don't see Cluxton going at all. ------------- Edited by Trigboy 10 at 10:03pm |

In fact, I would say the pool of players is liable to swell, as opposed to contract. O'Carroll and McCaffrey are likely to be back in contention, which will in turn open up huge competition with Cooper and Small. If it continues, the development of Cormac Costello will also provide important back-up, whether he is in the starting line-up or sprung from the bench. The only area that I would be slightly concerned about is if Bastick goes, there will need to be a slight re-calibration in order to beef up the midfield. However, Both O'Sullivan and Flynn can play there, the former's return to midfield would allow Cooper to return to Centre-Half. Perhaps Shane Carthy will make the step-up next year, or Emmett O'Conghaile? A full panel, with a re-newed vigour, will render this Dublin team exceptionally hard to beat.

It's Leinster v Ulster and Connacht v Munster in the semi-finals next year so Dublin v whoever wins between Mayo and Kerry, baring a massive shock in the provincials. I can see a repeat of this years final. Mayo have waited 65 years, one more isn't going to kill them at this stage. |

| I think Dublin will actually be galvanised by this season. It took some pretty impressive resilience to win this year's title, and it will stand Dublin in good stead for next season. I think at the initial stage it is fair to say that Dublin retaining the title is the only real position one can take with serious strength. |

Not sure where it might come from though (Kiladare maybe ?). Some good competitive draws in the other provinces though.

Pathetic. Fairplay to Cathal McCarron going on the Late Late show, many a man would of dodged that due to pathetic ridiculous and outdated comments like that. He plays a big role in suicide awareness, an example of a man who can turn his life around when he wanted to end it, there will be no mention of Tyrone GAA either. RTE don't deserve to hear about Tyrone GAA but the people of Ireland deserve to hear Cathals story, those who are sitting in their home contemplating ending their lifes, particularly young men who are currently in Cathals shoes who see no light at the end of the tunnel may see what is possible with the right guidance and councilling. It's 2016, men are 4/5 times more likely to end their life compared to females in Ireland we have a particularly high rate in general. Disgusting comment.

Well done, you read the newspapers. Congratulations. Maybe he could tell them how he overcame a gambling addiction, how about that. Another major issue we have in this country, never mind suicide for a minute. Maybe he can be an example of what is possible, happily settled down with a missus now. This is an individual who has been on the brink of suicide and came back from it, but just you ignore that like everyone else as he doesn't suit the agenda of the Irish press. He is a man of many talents, one of those talents is shutting down the best forwards in the country, your own native county know all about him as a footballer as none of their forwards can get by him. When'd you last beat us with Cathal in the team... jaysus I forget We have a stigma of mental health on this Island, people like Cathal McCarron who is role a model to many young GAA players on how to defend (He is undoubtably one of the best defenders in the country) and secondly in the public eye need to speak up. Kill the stigma, its Ok to admit you have an issue. People like you, and particularly your comments is what makes individuals afraid to come forward and get the help they badly need be that from addictions, depression or from feeling suicidal. ------------- YBIG Resident Pilot |

Nonsense. There are many people out there who have gone through similar mental issues such as suicide but didnt revert to being pure scum while doing it. Many people also who have had gambling issues, lads on here to mention a few. Great he overcame those demons it really is, but to label him as some shining linght just makes little of his overall behaviour up until recently. No doubt there is more to come from him in being a bold boy stakes. Maybe that doesnt suit your agneda what with him being from your native Tyrone...oh wait.......... Trying to muddy the waters here by suggesting its people like me that make people afraid to come forward is ridiculous but not surprising from you. Liek I said, fair play to him overcoming that side of thing, but my issue is his other behaviour and im not the only one. Its telling that there has been a few comments on him appearing yet youre selective on whow you reply to. |

You have said some amount of rubbish on this forum in the past but think this has to be the worst yet. To say people like sham are the reason people don't seek the help they need is just disgraceful I myself suffered with a serious gambling addition and the people on here where a great help too me during it and that includes sham. He'd still be asking how things are going when see him at games etc You praise cathal McCarron as some great hero which he's not he did some terrible things when he suffered from the illness that is gambling and he also had the best possible help provided to him that he turned down (help that ordinary folk suffering like him can only dream off). It's great that he's now got back on the right path but please stop lording him as this great role model because he isn't, yes he's a good gaa player but that doesn't mean things he's done in the past should be just forgotten about ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

Was at the Tyrone county final replay on Friday night. Killycloher overcame Coalisland 20 points to 6, match was more or less over by half time with Killyclogher with Dom Corrigan over them, getting the first 8 points of the game. Everything possible went right for Killyclogher, Coalisland hit post twice and had few bad wides early on but Killyclogher then took over. Mark Bradley was absolutely unmarkable and after a quiet day in the drawn game, he slotted over 8 points with both feet-he was outstanding. Cargin in the first round of Ulster next week, hard to know how they will do, Tyrone teams tend to struggle in Ulster probably due to the effort it takes to win Tyrone. Should be an interesting game |

That name still sends shivers down my spine. 2002 Ulster Championship First round Tyrone v Armagh, Tyrone come back late on with a goal from Sean Cavanagh (18 at the time) to draw level. Last attack of the game Tyrone work a scoring opportunity, ball popped back to Richard Thornton inside the D, scuffs it wide, ends in a draw. Armagh win replay and go on to win All Ireland  Him and Brian McGuckin took Coalisland last year and he trained Loup this year. Loup beaten by Slaughtneill in county final |

| Happy McGlynn is back, still offers a hell of a lot. Probably our must unsung player of the past five year. I'm not too sure on Lacey. His legs looked to be gone. Remember watching him in the Monaghan replay match. Made a great lung bursting run early on but then his energy seemed to be sapped. Did little else throughout the championship.

A decision I would have been highly supportive of when it was tested in the league in 2010 or 2011. I was concerned with the manner in which players who were actually winning the ball in central midfield were receiving little protection and teams were preferring to force the foul than actually compete for the high ball. Im not sure how I feel about it now, especially as teams are now looking more and more to retain the ball from their own kick out.

We lost to uuj today is 1st game of the mckenna cup. They have taken the decision this year to field the u21s in the competition to give them preparation for their own championship as well as giving the senior management the opportunity to see how the young lads perform in these games Would say they were impressed with some of the performances today with Michael Carroll definitely doing himself no harm with his performance. Final score was 4:13 to 2:20 with paddy mcbearty kicking 7 points for uuj and Ryan mchugh got their winning goal in injury time ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

Had DCU to beat the dubs in my accumulator knowing they were all in Jamaica! Also had Tyrone to beat Cavan, not only where we beat but Conor McAliskey may have done his cruciate

I'd say they were happy enough with that ringer, even though the poly had a few changes in their starting lineup it was still a pretty strong team backboned by few Donegal lads |

Yeah can't really complain about the performance today if you were going to complain it would be that we should of been ahead by more before uuj came back to win. They had a strong team out and even though we played the u21s we were missing few of their big players (stephen mcbearty, ciaran Thompson) so be happy enough Hope Rory was watching it closer as few players looked well able for step up to senior team. Will see if anymore impress next Sunday against cavan ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

They ran up a big score alright. Still worried about our quality of forwards for the year ahead, especially with McAliskey being sidelined for the year. Rony O'Neill comes across as just a bit too lazy and cold and if Mark Bradley isn't played closer to the posts then id have reservations about where the scores are going to come from. Gone are the days when our forward line had the likes of McGuigan, Peter, O'Neill, Mugsy, Dooher, McGinley and Cavlan to choose from  |

Dublin on the verge of tying up a deal to build a 25k seater stadium at the old Spawell complex in Templeogue. Will be 6/7 years before it's up and running. ------------- Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one".

Ran up a big score alright winning by 23 points in the end but don't know what either team but especially Tyrone will have learnt from it. Surely a game against an u21 side would of been ideal time to try alot more new faces to see what they made of but instead Micky harte named this team Comórtas: Corn an Dr Mhic Cionnaith Cluiche: Dún na nGall v Tír Eoghain Ionad: Páirc Uí hÉilí, an Omaigh Dáta: 18 Eanáir 2017 County Senior Appearances in brackets 1 - Niall Morgan - Éadan na dTorc (54) 2 - Pádraig Hampsey - Oileán a'Ghuail (10) 3 - Justin McMahon - An Omaigh (102) 4 - Cathal McCarron - An Droim Mór (88) 5 - Ronan McNabb - An Droim Mhór (51) 6 - Tiernan McCann - Coill an Chlochair (45) 7 - Jonathan Monroe - An Charraig Mhór (14) 8 - Matthew Donnelly - Trí Leac (82) 9 - Padraig McNulty - Dún Geanainn (32) 10 - Declan McClure - Cluain Eo (2) 11 - Ronan O’Neill - An Omaigh (56) 12 - Niall McKenna - Domhnach Mór (41) 13 - Darren McCurry - Éadan na dTorc (63) 14 - Cahir McCullagh - An Caisleán Glas (2) 15 - Ronan McHugh - Achadh Uí Aráin (2) 16 - Mickey O’Neill - Cluain Eo (19) 17 - Lee Brennan - Trí Leac (9) 18 - Colm Cavanagh - An Mhaigh (124) 19 - Sean Cavanagh - An Mhaigh (225) 20 - Peter Harte - Aireagal Chiaráin (106) 21 - Niall Sludden - An Droim Mhór (19) So in the total squad he had 3 new players involved. If that was donegal in a game they were always going to win I'd like to see alot more untried players in the team As for donegal the u21s were played in the competition as senior side were missing so many players to college commitments and it also allows the older players more rest time before league and championship. Disappointed to lose by big scores to both cavan and Tyrone but it wasn't a total waste of time playing this side. It's gave the 21s 3 good game as they prepare for game against Tyrone in 1st round of ulster u21 championship in March and it's also allowed the senior management to get a look at these players to see who's ready to make the step up. I'd hope to see the following get game time with senior side this year Ciaran Gillespie Eoghan ban Gallagher Ciaran Thompson Tony mccleneghan Michael Carroll Stephen mcbearty *niall odonnell and Jason mcgee are 2 names to look out for in future of donegal football but think this year might be too soon to push them into starting for senior side ------------- the closest i will ever come to playing for ireland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0_7w4JyvI4 |

| I suspect Harte has concluded that the best way to earn his extension is to do as clean a sweep of all competitions. Leave nothing to chance. |

However what is wrong with a greenfield? There are pitches right across the road. Instead they are going to knock a whole complex of sporting, cultural and retail facilities the whole area use. This is a significant resource the area loses and at least 50 jobs will go. ------------- He is Karl Pilkington in the LOI section and Karl Marx outwith it |
