Quote from: From the Bunker on March 18, 2024, 07:11:55 PMDid not know this competition existed. Would be great if this got a bit more exposure.


The failure to implement promotion and relegation from the 6N will always limit the growth of the sport in this part of the world. Georgia famously won away in Wales as part of the autumn internationals a couple of years ago.

Imagine if there was a promotion play-off between Wales and Georgia this year and Georgia won!
The first problem would be - there would be no Triple Crown.
Even if Wales evolved into total sh*te there is no way they could be kicked out of the 6N.



Wales/Italy/Scotland won't sign up to it as the loss of money for being relegated would probably be colossal.

There would have to be a guarantee of a certain percentage of the big cash for relegated teams but it'd be turkeys voting for Christmas why would they risk it?

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on March 18, 2024, 11:27:22 AMIt's not Dublin, they everybodys problem not just Derry. I think Derry people can see we short 1/2 consistent  scoring forwards, rest of the team improved with cover at Defence and Midfield. Even with Paudie Tad and Paul McNeill not tere this year, the sub bench looks stronger. Had we Canavan beside McGuigan we been in some position.

It's been a strange league with a lot of shadow boxing at different stages. It's probably difficult to properly assess where everyone is at. Also nobody needs to peak until the middle/end of May really so a lot can change between now and then.

I think we're stronger than last year but so are Armagh and Donegal.

Mayo/Galway/Monaghan/Ros look to have regressed a bit and Kerry/Tyrone around the same level.

I don't think any of us will challenge the Dubs come championship though.

Controlled most of the game save for the first 10 and the middle 10 mins of the second half.

Worrying that when Mayo got the run on us we made basic errors and seemed to struggle mentally all over the place. Reminded me a bit of our last 10mins against Kerry last year.

It's happened a few times now so hopefully we can get this ironed out come Championship!

We also need a right footed free taker!!!

Quote from: marty34 on March 17, 2024, 05:47:36 PMDerry has a great range of scorers now.  Plenty of lads getting on the score sheet.  Doesn't matter who as long as they go over the bar.

Although some of the shooting was very poor. Need to work on basic kicking the ball over ghe ba from 40 yards.  All senior teams need to do this. Happens so often.

We need a right footed free taker!

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on March 16, 2024, 06:18:32 PMIreland pale shadow without Sexton, should try clock a few 3pters, not gun fir a try every time . Some amount of knock ons

I don't like that at all... I can remember 10+ years ago ones on here saying Sexton was a downgrade on O'Gara give the lad a chance FFS!!

Watching Virgin here and Quinlan said it was a try but I didn't think he had control when the ball h it the ground. They should have given the penalty for head contact though!

Quote from: Tony Baloney on March 16, 2024, 05:34:44 PMScotland defensive line is very disciplined. The England players could have more to play for this evening than they expected.

You'd hope we can get the to tire and we get properly ahead towards the end of the game!

Full Swing 2 is infinitely better than the first one!

Solid 7/10 the LIV and Ryder Cup controversies helped!
