[Chris Collins]

Who is leading Derry U20s this year? See Martin Boyle has stepped down and away to Loughmacrory.

I believe Chris Collins is u20 manager for 2024.

A man who loves his own voice and reflection in the mirror

My lord

Any update on what is happening with the senior leagues next year?

Looked at a stage Seamie was gonna be the better of the 2. But hard to argue that case now after what sean done for Fermanagh over the years while Seamie went to pot.

Some high scoring years and an All Star nomination too. Scored 1-8 v Dublin in 2015 All Ireland Quarter Final.

Sean done an interview last season where he said he'd like to do nets the way GAA has gone. I actually thought it would have been a good idea for Fermanagh as he was used as an impact sub at stages last year.

I see Coalisland advertising for Expressions of Interest as well.

Coalisland for me would be better off going internal. Would some of their older players coming to the end of their playing days not be interested in a player/manager role?

Surely it's time for Thornton to take that job on? Though not sure if their prospects are any better next year especially if Tiernan Quinn is now on the county squad and missing started games. He pulled them out of some holes last season.

He's tied up with Magherafelt

More bloody foreigners....

A touching tribute...

"...the victim was never one to be without a "big fat joint" and a "hammer in his pocket"."

RIP 🙏

Another dealer gone, hopefully more to follow in the aftermath.

10 more will be lining up to take their places☹️

If there'd been a bomb dropped on that funeral itd have been a public service. Utter scum.

Couldn't agree any more.

United will have to sell Onana this summer. He's just not up to it. Need to fix that problem ASAP

Is there anywhere to see the proper squads of these teams? (including men who were missing last night)

Can't see Joe getting too involved in a back & forward over twitter

The video's of the funeral are daft, Dozens of scramblers doing wheelies and spinning tyres etc. Pure tramps. I'd say the priest was saying the mass in pure disgust.

[Any word on when McKenna cup]

Any word on when McKenna cup + league fixtures will be announced?

The winter boredom must be in full flow!

[That's probably looking a club to commit to £75k-£125k if they were paying £25k a year salary (thats probably at the low end of the scale)]

The GPO is a great idea and would work well and I'm sure all clubs would  love to have 1, although  I think to get the full benefit  you would need to have them employed  on a 3-5 year term to get everything set up and running properly. That's probably looking a club to commit to £75k-£125k if they were paying £25k a year salary (thats probably at the low end of the scale). That's a big commitment for most clubs given the risk of the GPO quitting a year/18 months into it, especially  if the person has no connection /affinity to the club, and you might have nothing to show for it. Obviously St Brigids can afford it and good luck to them, unfortunately I don't think most clubs can afford to go down this route at this time.

Slaughtneil committed 100K over 3 years, 33k per year. This was covered by 2 main sponsors. Better value for a duel club as it'll be benefiting more codes.

If it's affordable for a club, i think it's a great model for a club, if you've got the right man in & not someone who see's it as a handy job

[Think McKaigue does this at S'Neil?]

Always thought it would be a brilliant investment by a club. Think McKaigue does this at S'Neil?
Although its probably not possible financially with most clubs. Is St Brigids still a council pitch or do they own it now??

Costs to run a club now are shocking without new developments. To cut and maintain the pitches every year, fertaliser and sand is a small fortune!

He's the only GPO I know of and certainly seems the way to go instead of throwing thousands at outside managers every year, get a good club man who has been there and done it and is passionate about the club, not every club has a person as successful as McKaigue of course

Mckaigue is in on a 3 year term and is paid by a sponsor.

Slaughtneil are still paying outside managers, in both football & hurling.

Connor McGregor giving of King of the revolution vibes. He'll  Grand old Duke of York the shite out of them lads.

Just when I thought that pr!ck couldn't become any more of a pr!ck

Black Friday deals this week. Keep an eye out. Don't know if I could queue for hours to save £10.

And they aren't giving it away at a loss on the Black Friday prices. Shows how much they are sticking the arm in

In 57 games for Kerry, East Kerry, Fossa and UL since the beginning of 2022, David Clifford's scoring tally comes to 29-305. 24-178 from play
