Duno what you're getting at Braveheart. Great crowd surely, think 4,000 might be a bit generous.

Slaughtneil though, they looked back to their best, it's hard at this stage to see who will stop them winning the championship.

I'm only stating the obvious. Very big crowd watched slaughtneil back to their best. Glen will be disappointed and maybe Derry finest is correct in saying the 3 townie clubs will always come up short.

Genuine question here lad, have Swatragh ever won a league title never mind a championship?

Went to an U14 championship semi final tonight. No wonder that Derry have got the bad reputation for club football. It's tine that managers and parents got a good tight grip of themselves. These boys are just 14.

Bellaghy not take their beating well or what?

Dungiven, what the hell happened them? Had a serious team through the early 90's and 20 odd yrs ago later they totally fallen away.

Wondering the same myself, warnings signs bound to have been there with the heavy beating they took from Swatragh at home earlier in the league. Have they been missing men? Injuries / travelling??

Dungiven won a minor championship in 2009 if I remember correctly..would be interesting to know how many of that team are still playing today

I was at the game and only caught it out if the corner of my eye, as cowardly a hit I have seen in my time  watching football

Well if you were at the game you surely seen out of the corner of your eye the equally cowardly hit that that Bridge player had threw about 5 minutes beforehand, Unless you are completely 1 eyed of course.

Are you putting that up to justify that cowardly punch.

Just pointing out that if you hit someone a judas dig from behind resulting in him having to leave the field injured, don't go and stand beside his brother 2 minutes later.

what a toolbag you are

Is the fella ok? Could have broke his jaw the way he was hit. Cowardly act, as bad as I've seen on a field. Nothing manly about it.

Broken jaw I have been told

Dirty action. A pure coward of a man. Could have caused that lad serious damage, hopefully he's ok.

There's the football over for 11 weeks now - pure crap

A great win for the Quigan yesterday.i don't want to talk us up again but we're cruising along nicely. Glen have started well.  Bellaghy getting closer to the drop.

Great start by the Swa, be interesting if they can maintain it throughout the year but that win against S'Neil will give them the belief they can push on.

Any more word on fixtures??

The biggest problem with drawing Tyrone again is trying to get players to commit this year.

I saw the GPA ran a report recently that showed inter-county players devoted on average 31 hours a week to football. Players may feel this commitment/sacrifice  is not worth division 4 football and a thumping from Tyrone come May.

Damien must have some sort of panel together at the minute as I am aware they have met a few times. I'm not sure in what context they have met but hopefully he can somehow get a decent panel of men together that are willing to commit. I am also aware there have been players that have already turned down an invite to the county panel already.

you are a man in the know

S'neil have had an unbelievable run in both codes and are still involved with the Ulster club hurling. And I expect them back next year with the football, but with a couple of older players less. However isn't easy to be all gracious and humble when your winning all the time, painting a great picture of a wonderful community, then you loose one game in 5 championship years in Derry and the mask slips, the ref get serious abuse leaving the pitch and on social media. Same carry on when Ballinderry lost their game to Slaughneil after a 3/4 year unbeaten championship run, couldn't take the beating with the grace and humility they were happy to display when winning. It isn't the first game that a ref has made an honest call and got them wrong in S'neils run, the difference being they were able to find a way to win regardless of the refs errors, the same way they able to overcome errors their players made in the same matches to get a win. Refs make mistakes as do players, but your not going hit one of your own. Wonder was any of the supporters involved, the same supporters who finally helped Moran to call it a day after the abuse he took from them after the defeat in the All Ireland semifinal V Nemo last February.

Exactly. I'm sick and tired of the crap on social media and on here of how S'Neil were cheated etc s'neil got more than their fair share of luck from referees in big cship games

Any odds out for the games this weekend?

Boyle sports nothing to appealing apart from swatragh at 7/2, Mfelt are 5/1 against SN.

Is Rodgers fit for Sunday? He would be some loss for S'Neil.

Hearing that the 'Bridge behaved badly yesterday? Big win for the Shamrocks in Coleraine, never easy picking up points there

Irish News tweeting too.

4 man internal management team set up.

Feel sorry for the guy, is he the only manager ever to get sacked after not loosing a game? But in saying that I am not one bit surprised!!

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if it was a certain player that got him sacked

Very good 

Rumours are that Terence has gone. Allegedly.

funny I heard this at the weekend too. Not sure if there's much truth in it, thought it would have been a strange one alright!
