Jim Reilly an absolute cert man!!

Can't wait for a Kerry top 5, there's a real row to pick that line up.

In my time.

Jacko
Maurice Fitz
Gooch
Clifford

One other from a multitude.

Until Clifford does it in an All Ireland and wins he won't be in that top five. Spillane a cert. any self respecting Keery man wouldn't hear tell of it

To be fair to the different playing positions in any team, I have decided to use poetic licence to select my SEVEN all time best Derry county players  ie one goalkeeper,two defenders,two midfielders and two forwards. (and I have seen them all!).
Goalkeeper :John Somers
Defenders: Kieran McKeever,Tony Scullion.
Midfielders : Jim McKeever,Anthony Tohill
Forwards : Mickey Niblock,SeanO'Connell.
Honorary Members:Sean Martin Lockhart,Henry Diamond,Henry Downey,Anthony McGurk,Gerry
                             O'Loughlin.Fergal Doherty,Gerry McElhinney,Mark Lynch,Enda Muldoon and Paddy
                             Bradley.

So let me get this right, you have Doherty, Lynch, Muldoon and Bradley in the list of our greatest players, all played on the same team for a number of seasons and for the best part of 6 yrs with the exception of 2011 couldn't put two games back to back in the Ulster championship. Lads have a word with yourselves

Can you blame any fella going over to America for the summer and getting a bit of coin in the back pocket as well.

Away before this Sunday's game?

Chris Connelly based in Belfast, one of the top men in these islands.

[voted SF their whole life who are voting Aontú this time.]

Sectarian politics. Stupid eejits voting for these gobshites

Do you not support Aontu?

How will they do?  The TUV of the green side?

With Toibín, like Jim Allister, they seem to be a one man band. They haven't really progressed and polling very low in the opinion polls recently. 

Big election for them but they're not getting their message across or maybe people not interested in their right wing type politics.

Watch this space.

With regards Mid Ulster they got 8% in Carntogher in 2019.
Dan Kerr in Torrent got nearly 17%, costing SF a council seat. He is not Aontú of course but I believe alot of that vote will go to Aontú this time as the pro-life lobby will have nowhere else to go to give SF a bloody nose. These numbers will need to be improved to get a seat but I think they may be closer than what alot of people think.

Haven't looked at other constituencies yet so couldn't comment.

I will say I have been talking to people who voted SF their whole life who are voting Aontú this time.

agreed we will.

If Gough has gotten Mc Guigan suspended for saying 'thats a f**king joke' and thats if, as its here say thats what was said, on top of what he actually got him a black card that was simply wrong, he is very quickly becoming a proper p***k and abusing his position.

We make too much of been in Div 4, maybe need look at how Derry went from Div 1finals 09/10, then bouncing down, cause if I remember the manager line at the time, it's all about championship, (part of the problem.)Bounced up awhile for 2015/16, then fell through the floor. I be of the opinion that the players were within the county, maybe not necessarily playing that we shouldn't been no farther than Div 2. Too many good players jettisoned before their sell by date to put down a marker of their management and that didn't do Derry any favours. And am solely putting that down to Derry stance of always picking in house and not a manager outside the county. They never made a impact elsewhere and I think the majority were selected due to county board money constraints. I suppose we not all like Clare who can have £400k lying in the shop club account. Eamon McGee said a County like Derry should always be plying their trade on Division 1or near it, and was at a lose as to why this wasn't so.

Don't agree with the analysis at all. The emphasis in the league has only genuinely developed in the past 7/8 years. And to illustrate it further, Kerry very seldom took it seriously but realised that with the level of tactics involved in the game now, all the league games were needed for teams to develop this and their ability to implement them. If you didn't you hadn't a change. Derry in the period of 09 onwards had a squad that peaked in 07/08 and the championship needed to be their priority for that period. Mc Guinness further evloved the tactical game and it was around this period of 12/13 the league started to get really serious.

watched that video, outrageous Mc Guigan getting a black card. Thon lines man couldn't complain if got a slap. His collusion with the fouler 

Sort worrying we basically down to 1 scoring forward. Hard to believe we had a forward line one time of Lynch 2 Bradley, Muldoon, def need 2 scoring forwards to emerge in Derry in the nxt few yrs.

All those Ulster medals between them they were so good. Muldoon the only one from 98 where he played at mf.

I tell you what, Antrim need to make a stand on this and refuse to field unless the home fixture is honoured. No ifs or buts, stand steadfast

Isn't great the vaccine mandates done away with, utter stupidity. Only a matter of time before they are gone with air travel. See Norway has lifted all its restrictions including to do with international travel.

Thanks, well thats clear cut,  same rules for everyone. Although I think the rule is stupid, but thats a congress call.

when you mean illegal, were they players from other counties or clubs? Can you be more precise, thanks.

You'd imagine that's its points docked from the start of this season and a few heavy suspensions to those involved. Nobody likes the rule but everyone abides by it. It would be a logistical nightmare to start going back thru teamsheets and no video evidence to back it up. Only there was a video of the last match is how they got caught out apparently. A good year or 2 ban for the chairman, Secretary and manager should send out a clear message

what happened?
