I'm not going to beat about the bush any longer, I'm just going to come out and say it - there were two Mayo players and they were dressed immodestly outside the basilica last Sunday.

Wearing Rossie jerseys 😂

If it's what I heard it was, I've heard a lot of similar rumours concerning (very) high profile (young) players from other counties also. Way society seems to be going. Maybe very recent developments up east will concentrate young and not-so-young minds going forward.

You'd just think after what happened to the lad last year that others would have seen the line that Horan took and wouldn't be so silly in the decisions they take.

Good interview with Rochy.

It sounds like the advanced mark will be a nightmare to officiate.

Rob on the money re our issues with holding a lead.

No harm to see the FBD team having another run out.

It's going to be a massive ask to get anything in Ballybofey.

Will it just be like last year where we all knew but it was never really acknowledged?

They are entitled to a private life but Horan is also entitled to define the qualities and discipline he wants from his squad memories and drop players is he so chooses.

I'd imagine so and same is nothing but admirable.

We've no God given right to know about matters relating to a player's private life unless it becomes public knowledge out of necessity.

Different scenario
He was one of our best players last year for part of the year
Questions will be asked by National media if not local

My attitude to that is that a certain high profile Dublin footballer got a pretty easy ride from the media. Once the fire isn't fed then the smoke clears and they can work their way back if that is the route they want to take. The Con-Tel would be the one to push things locally.

Bunny Colvin

I'm happy with that team. The forward line looks exciting, at least on paper.

Also good to see O'Hora and Mullins in there. Flynn has a lot of promise as well.

Huge credit to Tom Parsons for making it back. It must have taken serious balls and hard graft to make it back starting competitive games for us. Fair play to him.

Word on the street is that there's an Aussie Rules contract on the table for Oisìn Mullin if he wants it.

This is true but in reality they are going to be spoken about and as such its hard for them to keep a private life or the private issues from becoming public.
This is very disappointing if true and I hope it is just a rumour. Kids look up to these guys and I know from my own gang. I would be seriously pissed with him if I was Horan and everybody needs to understand boundaries. Horan is one man to put manners on this kind of stuff i'd imagine.

Really happy with that team, delighted Reape is getting another chance, thought he was hard done by last season and is a bit like Alan Freeman in the sense that he’s a pure confidence player and needs a few games in a row. Boland has been going in stops and starts, needs to nail down a jersey this season but I’m a huge fan of his. Hopefully O’Donoghue can add something to the mix. Hard to see Coen playing after Sigerson, like to see McCormack thrown in with a full back line of:

Harrison-McCormack-O’Hora
Durcan-Boyle-Mullin

Durcan and Mullin have pace to burn and will bomb on and cause problems on the overlap no doubt. Be great to get at least another two steady defence options out of O’Hora/Mullin and McCormack. Reports in Mayo News that Carr had picked up a knock so potentially a chance for Boylan. would be a massive boost for the year if the lads could grind out a result with this starting 15, can’t wait!

I heard today that Ruane is having surgery on his shoulder and will miss all the league. Is there any truth to that? Really hope its not true, he would be a massive loss for the league!

Huge loss if true but is it not better to sort out the shoulder properly now rather than risk it for championship?

NabyLadistheman

Why in the name of Christ was Ruane not getting the shoulder sorted over the winter instead of attending those trials in Dublin.

Can't even vaguely remember where I parked last time out.

The road into Ballybofey.:D

I'm sure if you threw a post up on the Donegal thread Charlie14 and other posters would help you out.

I did same before Christmas when the fixtures came out.

Does anyone know what capacity the stand has? Trying to figure out how early you'd need to be there to get a seat.

Not sure but I was there a good hour and half before the last game and got a seat with relative ease.

We'e not great for turning up early. I think the stand is about 5k but that's could be wrong.

You should be fine for getting in 30/45 mins before with it getting tighter then.

LetterKenny is the far side. Ballybofey is kinda two towns in one. Head up past the pitch and park up where you can.

If your're heading for Letterkenny after, park up the far side of Ballybofey, over the bridge in Stranorler.

Mayo Mick is spot on. Drive through Ballybofey and go over the bridge crossing the river and you are in Starnorlar. Park up anywhere and walk back over the bridge and the pitch is on your right. You can turn down there to the terraces or come on up Ballybofey and you will see an alleyway that will take you to the stand side.
Mind yourself in Letterkenny. I haven`t socialised there for a good few years, but it could be lively back in the day on a Saturday night.

After the p.e rumours that have dogged this squad for a while, you'd be thinking mayo gaa would be wanting to get ahead of this one, which serious as it is, is probably minor in the scheme of open secrets

Is this confirmed or based on Ah Ref tweet where he speculated this might be the bench?
Would be amazed if AOS is togged!
No Fionn so.............
Is Eoin O Donoghue still person non gratis or injured?

Sorry it's based on ah ref's tweet.

Presumed it was confirmed.

Indeed I'm sure Aidan is fatigued post his travels to Vietnam.

I didn't hear Eoin O Donoghue was injured.

He togged out in UCG's Sigerson Cup loss.

He'd a damn fine game by all accounts.

I only saw the latter stages of same post the our FBD loss.

I sincerely hope you're incorrect in your assumption but he really hasn't got anything near enough game time thus far.

IMO he should be starting at corner back day in day day out.

This was correct
Astonished AOS is there
Looks like Fionn is gone. Huge blow imo
And where is Eoin O D

Very poor organisation at the pitch. Half an hour before throw in and nobody at turnstiles to scan season tickets. Scanners not working properly when they did show up. Stand closed despite not being full. Garda picking and choosing who he lets into the stand when there aren't many near him at the gate. Plenty of angry fans from both sides.
