I see Ronan McNamee has offered his opinion on the McKenna Cup situation now as well as Harte. Wild sensitive those Throne ones.

Big result for Murphy and LYIT today. They'll play the winners of UCC and IT Carlow in the semi-final.

Another big performance from Langan with 1 - 2 and 3 points from Mogan.

I can see us getting hockeyed out of it in the league.

Stephen McMenamin and Daire O'Baoil ruled out for the next few weeks.

Wonder if this will be the team.? against Neil McGee and Paddy McBrearty. Mogan could start ahead of Eoin McHugh I guess. Below are players I believe are fit. Not sure on Niall O'Donnell given he didn't tog at all for Maynooth.

Patton
McCole
Neil McGee (?)
Doherty
Ward
Paul Brennan
Ryan McHugh
McFadden
McGonagle
Thompson
Murphy
Eoin McHugh/Michael Carroll
McBrearty (?)
Langan
Jamie Brennan

Bench

Lynch
Mogan
Mulligan
Morrison
McCleneghan
Carroll/Eoin McHugh
McClean
Conor O'Donnell

Murphy? I would be shocked if he played this early on. And I'd rather he didn't truth be told.

It's a long year.

Alvin Holler · 22-01-2020 1:41pm

Would agree about Murphy but I think he might play as I'd say Declan is keen to stay up. I'd say Neil McGee will not feature anyway. Morrison and Conor O'Donnell might start. Who knows really?

McBrearty is not back until after the mayo game so mcgettigan might play.

Redsoxfan · 22-01-2020 3:44pm

Glenswilly didn't make knock out stages
No International Rules
No McKenna Cup

Aside from maybe being distracted or busy due to Sigerson management, I see no reason myself why Murphy wouldn't play. Yes it is a long season (maybe) but I wouldn't expect anything like 100% on Saturday.

dog_pig · 22-01-2020 3:53pm

I'm assuming McFadden Ferry will be involved unless injured or not fit? Anyone know if the LYIT game will be streamed anywhere later on?

Last year the bit of a rest showed when the championship came around, so I would rather see him start later in the league.

The dcu one is being streamed anyway. Are highland covering it?

Good call - over Doherty or Ward.

McCole and Morrison reach final with DCU

LYIT updates thin on the ground.

I'm following official Donegal account on Twitter, sounds like a tight enough game, 6 all after 40 mins

It was on YouTube.:)

See the Sigerson thread.

The final will likely be same.

Unfortunately in work, and Youtube definitely not an option. Looks like game over now anyway, but that DCU team look like dead certs for the final

Redsoxfan · 22-01-2020 9:33pm

LYIT lose 2-9 to 1-9

doc_17 · 22-01-2020 11:25pm

It’s a must win on Saturday. Given we are away to Dublin and Kerry, we will lose in Letterkenny, it will leave us with max 6 points if we win the other 3.

Redsoxfan · 22-01-2020 11:29pm

If must win, Murphy should play.

Are you sure the LYIT vs. IT Carlow game was on that stream too? I had a look earlier and didn't see it on.

Sounded like they played a decent part of the second half a man down? Exciting enough finish anyway: LYIT score a goal in injury time to level the match and then Carlow go down the other end and score another to win it.

doc_17 · 23-01-2020 8:57am

Listening to Oisin Kelly on Highland was painful. “The LYIT”. Did it not escape him then that it should also have been “The CWIT”? Horrible to listen to him on air.

It's a must win if you are inflating the importance of the league.

The only 'must win' game is Tyrone in May. And everything we do will be done with that in mind. Don't want to see Murphy or Neil McGee anywhere near it on Saturday.

Yes, in terms of the league. The best teams are in the league now. It’s settled down a bit. Same teams tend to be getting relegated from it each year they get up. And if we can’t stay in it it means we aren’t one of them.

But I agree, I’d rather win Ulster than stay in Div 1

Coillte_Bhoy · 23-01-2020 9:32pm

Well lads, making my debut in Ballybofey on Saturday evening so a few queries. Where's good to park bearing in mind we heading to Letterkenny straight afterwards for the night. Also we be docking in around 5.30 so want to get the grub beforehand, so any suggestions welcome. What time would we need to be getting into the ground at to get a seat in the stand? Thanks

Redsoxfan · 24-01-2020 1:38am

You will have no problem with parking or a seat. We don't care about the league so doubt many will head in.

Redsoxfan · 24-01-2020 1:52pm

Hmm. Who said this?

"If you weren't looking forward to playing, there would be something badly wrong," he told the Irish News.

"When you're watching the football now, you get a hunger to get back into it and this year we have been very lucky to be able to keep going in the off-season and to keep the bodies ticking over.

"Yes, I am looking forward to the challenge of Mayo and the rest of the league."

The 30-year-old added: "I think it is a game we want to win and there is a difference in 'want' and 'need'. Every game we play we want to win and three years on with this youngish team we would like to be kicking on and taking learnings from the last two years."

Will be a few about Jacksons / Villa Rose for food before hand. Carvery fayre and should be grand. It's pitting distance to the ground then.

Re: filling up. More of a risk it being full with Mayo ones really. I'd say you'll certainly get a seat 45 mins before (that's my plan anyway).

Can't assist on parking for LK travel afterwards but the whole place is a balls so you're fecked no matter what really.
