Combination of ongoing therapy/rehab and time being a great healer.
I reckon heāll be back involved with Donegal by the end of the year.
Such a talent, shame he ruined his reputation.
Yes but according to the BBC article yesterday the files were sent by the PSNI just under a year ago so itās only recently that both the PSNI investigations into allegations and the custody hearing (concluded in Feb past) sided against her.
As I said Iām more inclined to believe her side of the story due to specific nature of allegations and support she seems to have locally but thereās so many things that donāt add up.
Him being employed as manager of the fatherās shop up until the marriage ended and abuse apparently so violent, so frequent and so public is one thing I canāt get my head around?
Outstanding 
Yeah, odd one. We all know families that either turn a blind eye, sweep stuff away, or choose to conciously ignore situations like this. It must be something like that.
Iāve heard a lot of the Kilcar players are still big fans of Gallagher, which is also very odd.
People that have trained under Gallagher all rave about him, thereās no doubting his ability as a coach/manager and how he has improved and brought on many players is evident. I havenāt heard one player who has played under him have much bad to say across Donegal, Fermanagh and Derry.
I guess the fact that heās a reputation for transferring clubs and counties has tagged him as some sort of mercenary, added to the fact his sideline antics and some peopleās view on his style of football make him quite disliked across GAA circles. Iād imagine a lot of people who heard rumours but had no in the know source just put these rumours down to bitterness from those pedaling them. I had heard a few negative things in the past about Gallagher but never to the sort of allegations this week.
Mason Greenwoodās partnerās father was more distraught that anyone when the story broke and he thought heād lose his VIP access to Old Trafford

Theyāre a young team. Would probably had won the u20s this year had they allowed Murray and McEvoy away this year. Load more of them to come through, you can see how much Doherty, McGrogan, McCloskey and Cassidy have came on this year as well.
Thereās always been huge talent in Derry, they just needed a unifying force to quell the tension from the toxic club scene there.
Really relevant here. Footix gobshite
Take it up with the fella who brought him into the conversation.

Will Jim McGuinness return to the managerial fold though? Lads have been touting him for jobs for a few years now. A return to Donegal, helping Galway under Joyce, interest in the Cork job. The way Derry have evolved and grown over the last few years gives hope to every team across the country that if you get your house in order you can climb the ranks very quickly. A template that the likes of Down, Meath and Kildare could follow.
Surprised to see Aidan Nugent on the bench. He was a mainstay of the team in recent years. Usually good for a couple of scores.
A simple statement from Rory stating he never beat the absolute shit out of his pregnant wife would put all this to bed.
Either he can do that.
Or he canāt.
