Derry / Re: Derry Club Football & Hurl...

Last post by JoG2 - Today at 10:22:58 AM

G getting a fair drop off the panel for some them lads named in the match day squads.

It's crazy though surely your nos 21-30 should be allowed to play with their clubs I don't understand why you wouldn't let them??

Also lads need competitive football. The worry for Derry now is Harte doesn't play challenge games so our lads have no competitive football for 4 weeks then go away to a provincial champion!

Sure we'll be fresh and not burnt out! Though, Harte didn't do warm weather training weeks, until he did, before the 1st Rd of the championship, so you never know

I see the ex-England player, Mike Browne, was sent off recently for a head challenge.

He then started to swear at the referee.

He is suspended for two weeks.

As part of this process, he has to give a presentation on the values of the game. This will be then used for educational purposes and help demonstrate that behaviour like this will not be tolerated in rugby.

No messing there by the rugby lads.

GAA HQ should take a good look at this. 

Hope sanctimonious w**k like this never becomes mainstream in the GAA. Too many Kool-Aid drinkers in rugby. Can promote respect for the referee without banging on how noble the game itself is.

100+ years in and how's that going?

Doesn't exactly wet the appetite. That Jones and Bingham game was a bit of a slog at times. Bingham be disappointed he couldn't carry on the form he showed against ROS.

Expect Wilson to win the final comfortable enough but I suppose Jones has been written off all tournament.

Wilson's to lose, unless there's another bottle job

Not sure which three is right for this but it seems pretty appropriate, does Linfield normally have such a colourful array of flags for their games are is it just because they were playing a "Catholic team"?

They were sent packing regardless.

3rd goal, to finish it off, was great.

Fans should have been sent packing, can you really claim to be commemorating the 1913 UVF at a football match?

A few years ago they had a jersey with the UVF colours. Umbro had to stop promoting it.

The money that Dublin get isn't an issue for me.

It's the use of Croke Park which, to me, gives them a huge advantage. More than anything else.

Can you name a team who have less money, less resources and less supporters in other sports who are successful?
