I believe Chris Collins is u20 manager for 2024.

Dear god

Unbelievable

As a GAA employee is he even allowed to?


Many a county would want a tail like ours... Not too many would put their name forward for the u20s I'd imagine.

What does that statement even mean?
Are you suggesting that other counties could be envious of our CEO?

Tomas red card rescinded. For Cargin it's a case of they'll never know what would have happened had Tomas played the full game, but as Lar says, you'de have to admit it would not have been a surprise had Cargin scraped through.

That's the harshness of football, we never get to really know!
No one in the stand that day thought it was red (whether they admit it or not), the Foreglen linesman had his say but its all parked now, at least Tomas has no suspension hanging over him for this new season.
What about Antrim, the Portgual training trip is bound to have a positive effect, some very winnable games in Div 3, promotion should definitely be on the agenda

It's been discussed to death at this point but to say no one in the stand thought it was a red is a bit of a stretch. Maybe no one from Cargin but that's to be expected as we're all partisan when it comes to these things. I did think it was a red card offense when watching live. I've also seen loads of stills and videos since that wouldn't suggest that I change my mind. Tomas lost possession, he was frustrated with himself and in that split second, he raised his elbow into an unnatural position. Intent etc doesn't really come into it after that. As Roy Keane used to say when he was lined, 'did I give the ref an opportunity to send me off there?' And in Tomas's case, I personally think he did. As for the argument if had remained 15v15....as I've said previously, Cargin's style of play offensively needs to change. They simply don't score enough to win games at that level. That's my own honest opinion on it.

I was at the game and it happened right in front of us. McCann lifted his elbow into an unnatural position and caught Mcguckin on the jaw/cheek. Straight red all day long.

Silver Hill i think everyone has moved on.  Your own credibility evaporated the second you posted the above which all video and photographic evidence refutes.

Enjoy your run with Glen rather than prolonging what appears to be a niggling doubt about that side. I'm sure the derry discussion board are awaiting your wisdom


Refutes....  :-*

It irks you because you know, but you can't admit that Glen may well not have gotten through that game with 15 Cargin men on the pitch for the duration.

Your original statement of what you say you saw is just as reliable as the linesman's on the day who's originally from Foreglen and now lives in Donegal. It just lacks any credibility at all.

Serious bit of straw clutching there re the linesman. Cargin have won one ulster club game in 10 years. Could play until now and still wouldn't get enough scores to win a game in that championship. Delusional. So, by your logic I suppose you feel Cargin would have been ulster Champions today if Tomas hadn't lifted his elbow?

Quote from: Rawhide on December 02, 2023, 05:56:55 PMBrolly, a guy who gave away his kidney, does literally copious amounts of charity gigs, goes to club events up and down the country for nothing, and we have gaels slating because he has a opinion that some of you don't like or agree with. The whole essence of being a barister is strongly putting across your opinion. And that's the bit that gets under your skin. The difference between brolly and McGregor is night and day.

His charity work or whatever doesn't excuse his outrageous outbursts over the year's especially the one towards Sean Cavanagh 10 years ago. He should have been booted from RTE at that point. Did Sean Cavanagh go running to solicitors?

Did he say anything litigious...did he threaten him in any way?
If I recall it correctly , he questioned Sean's manliness because of the cowardly and cynical way he pulled McManus to the ground. I think he was bang on the money for that one

Quote from: Silver hill on November 13, 2023, 10:27:27 PMCargin learnt nothing from last year. What's the point it just trying to contain Glen? 2 points from play this year, similar last year. Why not have a cut if your players are as talented as you say they are? Some bit of whinging this year and last. If that's the height of your ambition; to limit Glen to a 4 point defeat, then you're never going to get past a first round in ulster. As for us, this is all new territory and we'll enjoy our moment on the sun as we know we'll fall back into the pack like every other club does. I'm enjoying the ride so far, we'll see where it ends. Not playing that well this year but just about doing enough. Our wide count yesterday is worrying as they were from good positions and under minimal pressure. We won't get away with that down the line. Scotstown looking like the firm team, that was a big scalp to take yesterday. 9 county players, jack mccarron now transferred in, they'll be hard to stop I think

Think you need to gave a word with your 'stats man' S H Cargin did score three points from play, not a lot but  Glen managed just  one more...2 from J Doherty, one each from corner back Michael Ward and Ciaran Mc Faula.
The rest from placed efforts, a few questionable.....

As for outa form players did Conor Glass get a kick at all?

Think you need to take another peek and at your recording and keep fingers crossed the Cavan man may be recalled North if Glen reach the final...


Ahem.....just for the record Country Bumpkin, we scored 5 from play in the game... 2 from JD, and one each from warnock, mcfaul and Ethan Doherty. Just wanted to tidy that up for you. And I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Cargin only had 2 scores in the game from play....one in first half from your centre half back, and then one in the second from your sub Close. I think it's important that we try to be accurate when quoting stats.

f**k me like groundhog day talking about this match. get the f**k over it

Just a wee fact check chief, keeps the record straight, otherwise people just spout shit.

Quote from: Oso on November 26, 2023, 04:11:57 PMIt should actually be more than a yellow card, and it should  definitely be a free if there no advantage.

If you're hitting the player late and he's planted on one leg kicking that's a dangerous tackle, knee ligaments and potentially leg breaker.

Make it a red, take it out of the game. Players have had careers ended with tackles like this, not always overly malicious but definitely wreckless and dangerous.

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on November 26, 2023, 03:16:16 PMThink they'll need a goal to beat Glen, though one lad here thinks Glen are average  ;D

Haven't worked out if you're deliberately misquoting me yet or you actually can't interpret what I said wee man.

Good game today, some effort from Trillick despite missing someone of Mattie Donnelly's quality, much to be admired.  I'm not sure Scotstown have the mobility to beat Glen (FYI MR2 see what I said earlier about runners).  I thought the ref was good today also, good job you weren't stuck in the middle today MR2.


These are your quotes on Glen


Maybe Glen just are not as good a team as everyone makes out??

A team of runners with average football ability.

I simply don't belive Glen are the team they are hyped to be

There's no extra gear in Glen



So where did I say they were an "average team"?

Let me break it down for you...... A team of runners (they are almost all mobile, can run, pacey) with average football ability (they are not all natural or good footballers).

The evidence to date would back that up, as would the excuses wheeled out to date on here .....

Kicking so many wides, missing "easy" scores, those are what sets good players apart.  Look at the distribution of their scores from play..... There are a lot of players on that team not able to kick scores at this level.... and lots of them are lining out as forwards. And yet everyone makes excuses over and over again for them..... As if it's a given that it's about to happen.

We're told about this extra gear that they have (someone else's words, not mine) that they didn't use against 14 man Cargin and I presume that they didn't use yesterday again, yet..... They beat 14 men for 2/3 of a game by 4 and almost got dumped out last night.

That's the evidence.

What evidence are you providing otherwise?

Is it wrong on all that we've seen to date to say that "Maybe" they aren't the team that they're hyped to be. The only duffings they've handed out were within Derry.

Someone has a different opinion from you, I get it, you don't like it, you try to dis it. Just as you do with a whistle in your hand.

You take everything out of context in an attempt to be funny.  How many Glen games have you actually watched or attended this year to be such an expert?  I will guarantee it's fewer than I have.

Jesus Oso, let it go man.....you lost. Take your oil.

I assume he lives on the Tyrone side of that parish. I wouldn't be surprised if he grew up supporting them.
Ballinderry where mckinless is from a strange part of world half the village Tyrone half derry

Didn't enda Muldoon play for derry minors against them one day, and then wore a tyrone top walking about during the senior game, or is one big myth as I never saw it with my own eyes !

Urban myth....he's one of Derry's greatest
