There is far too much being read into games that have been played in horrendous conditions. Midfield apparently is now an issue even though people were full of praise for it after the Dublin match.
Dan O Donoghue has done well to date but weather conditions have very much being in his favour. The real test is Croke Park mid summer when the ground is hard and fast.

Interesting that Seanie is retained as captain despite Casey starting.

I think we just lacked physicality , it’s something Moran can help with, but it’s not all teams that bring this challenge but remember it’s Kildare dominance that turned that game, it’s something that can be managed. |

Certainly the last couple of league campaigns where we rinsed a number of teams did not serve us very well. Compounded by a weak Munster Championship.
A few hard and tight league games will serve us very well especially if its alongside carefully introducing new players like Dan, Dylan and a few more and embedding new structures for defending / attacking/ transitioning between both. Conceding fewer goals and goal chances, converting a higher percentage of scoring chances, increasing turnovers for and reducing turnovers against, is where its at in the league. Doing this when the chips are down in a tight game is what we need.
Tyrone taught us last year that the animal you meet in Croker is a different one to the league so I think we are forewarned and will be forearmed on this.
I expect this weekend will be a close battle.

This is the Monaghan side that beat Armagh is a high scoring Ulster semi final in 2021
Has the Monaghan team for tomorrow been announced?
If Monaghans team for tomorrow is very similar to that then its going to be a very tight match.
Monaaghans pick is small of course so a few injuries can cause huge problems for them.
Monaghan:
R Beggan;
K Duffy, C Boyle, R Wylie;
K O’Connell, K Lavelle, R McAnespie;
D Hughes, N Kearns;
M Bannigan, A Mulligan, D Ward;
C McCarthy, J McCarron, C McManus.
Subs:
S O’Hanlon for McCarthy (34 mins),
S Carey for Mulligan (41 mins),
C Walshe for O’Connell (47 mins),
K Hughes for Lavelle (48 mins),
A Woods for Kearns (59 mins).

I didn't realise that, in fairness a common sense stipulation that is a move in the right direct to management having an input and some control |

Are there tickets on the gate or do they need to be bought in advance still?

What's wrong with having the ticket van outside the ground for a walk up crowd. There will be no return to the ticket van at any point in the future. Only selling tickets online means significant savings compared to doing it manually. |

Kerry Gaa probably have the authority to sell tickets for these development league matches but the national league is 'owned' by Gaa HQ and their policy is no tickets for sale other than online only. |

I was in Ballybofey and in summary, Donegal sure kept their powder dry in Killarney and while they struggled a bit last night, they just had too much football in them and which coupled with raw strength had them prevail.
It was the first game I attended this year and what wasn't obvious from TV was that, yes, teams are only getting into gear - maybe the Covid induced abstinence has us getting enthusiastic and while that isn't such a bad thing, you'd still feel we are in for some amazing contests - you could sense Ulster championship blood boil last night and this pair are probably constitute the ultimate bonfire ingredients. Tyrone appeared to be more up for it, repositioning off the ball more so than my county of domicile and who just didn't look like they had yet played a lot of football together.
It was one of those nights when the team playing into what was at times a gale, played better.
Sludden is some potent force going forward though I mention him as he was right in front of me in the 2nd half while Dgal keeper Shaun Patton and who is on Morgan/Beggan journey, 'touched' a beaut of a long range point and could have gotten MOTM IMO. Morgan's body language suggested he wasn't a happy camper and while nothing compares to daylight, you pick up on more under floodlighting.
Ulster will be some Championship with that Arc from Monaghan To Donegal and not forgetting Derry who are also showing a bit.
BTW watched with an enemy of ours from '47 and who said that Cavan have gone back a bit, still absolutely no soccer there, 'no Cavan Celtic' as he put it - now there's another jigsaw piece for Éamonns NK project.

Judging from the radio commentary, Jason Foley did a great job on McManus and Tony Brosnan had a very good day which are 2 big positives. Dylan Casey was replaced at half time by Dan O’Donoghue presumably due to the yellow card he picked up. It’s a pity he got the yellow but he should get more opportunities before the league finishes. By the sounds of it Barry and O’Connor did well at midfield against a tough Monaghan pair. Also for one of the goals Beggan was turned over out the field which is good to hear as there’s no point in giving him time and space on the ball like some teams do. Overall sounds like another very good performance and a very comfortable win. Looking forward to hearing the reports from those at it and hopefully seeing extended highlights tonight.
