An Alternative View: Delays, debuts and delight for Donegal

For a place that’s marketed as being that little bit different, the last six or seven months from the outside looking in at the Donegal senior set-up has been, well, a bit different. Declan Bonner's last outing as Donegal manager saw a ...

An alternative view: The Farney and the GPA barney

It’s common enough on the week of Cheltenham to hear plenty who crumple their dockets tell you what they were going to do instead of what they actually did. On the other hand on Sunday, when there was silence from players with the GPA ...

An alternative view: Silencing the c-word and beating the All-Ireland champions

Maybe you saw the story or maybe you didn’t. A couple of months ago, at the Alt Bar in Killea which nestles on the Derry border, the fellas who run the show banned the use of the c-word. As a deterrent, a swear-jar type ventricle was ...

The Alternative View: Comebacks, rumours, fitness tests and programme mayhem

It’s a difficult period for Donegal, on and off the field . . . and not just for the county senior team. Defeat was the name of the game for the footballers (U-20s and seniors), hurlers and Ladies teams last weekend. And it doesn’t ...

An alternative view: Sunshine, survival, scraps and suspensions

With Donegal’s record in Letterkenny, well, not the greatest down the years, the scheduling of a must-win last day outing against Armagh in the Allianz League Division 1 was, as the cynics might’ve suggested, a bit like taking ...

An Alternative View: Fulfill Bars, Chicken and Chips and keeping the faith

The last time I travelled to the Athletic Grounds was late November, 2020. The roads were quiet and Donegal supporters, just like their Cavan counterparts at the time, were prohibited from making that same journey. It was ...

An alternative view: A bump in the road as Donegal return to earth in Omagh

The road to Omagh was paved with good intentions. And it was a busy road on Sunday last as Donegal supporters answered the call of new manager, Paddy Carr, and travelled in numbers not seen for a number of years. Sitting ...

An Alternative View: A confidence-booster after the long long trip from Clare to here

Fair play to the old Google, which, after a wait of just 0.59 seconds produced 10,300,000 results to inform us that, in fact, Ralph McTell wrote ‘From Clare to Here’. Apologies to Foster and Allen, who didn’t, and sorry ...

An alternative view: Donegal can't scale Derry's walls - and now the climb steepens

So, one minute and 54 seconds into injury time at the end of 20 minutes of extra-time following 70 minutes of normal time, it had come down to this. In one last ditch attempt to reclaim the Ulster title, with Donegal ...

An alternative view: Returning to Clones and finally shushing the Cavanman

Ever tried Marmite? No? Me neither. It’s this kinda dark brown paste yeast extract type of thing that comes in a yellow-stickered jar that looks a bit like Bovril. It’s gooey and sticky and you’re advised to use it ...

An alternative view: When you do the talking on the pitch

For a certain generation of Donegal supporters, there was a time when summer tended to consist of that overpriced barbeque you rashly bought without really thinking and used just the once, that fence you meant to ...

The Alternative View: New rules, new challenges and old faces

You probably already heard that there’s been a lot of talk about these new rule changes - or core enhancements as some call them - with the Allianz League throwing in. With Donegal unable to make the trek to ...
