McGuinness managing expectations

When Jim McGuinness met the Donegal panel for the first time in late 2010, he referred to a book he once read to set the scene.

McGuinness had studied the diaries of Robert Falcon Scott, the British explorer who had led expeditions to the North and South Poles in the early 20th century and who lost his life at the South Pole.

“He [Scott] said he had to hire character and teach them the skills,” McGuinness said last year.
