Derry are now in Division 4

[Seany]

Would you ever have believed it?  Some serious soul searching needs done in that county over the next few months.  Where are all the players who refused to commit?  Why is there STILL no real proper strategy to develop the game in Derry city?  How come a club with three or four of the best clubs in Ulster, can end up in Division 4?  And all these clubs were there when they were winning the All Ireland and Ulsters, so the attitude can't have changer THAT much.  And if it has, well why has it? .  How come a county with two of the top Ulster schools for MacRory (champions three out of the last 4 years) be in Division 4?  Derry are in Division 4.  Jut say that slowly...,  Seamus Heaney, Martin McGuinness, Dana, John Hume, Anthony Tohill, Derry Girls, Nadine Coyle, that Aileen girl from the Graham Norton Big Red Chair, Gregory Campbell - Your county is in Division 4!!

Now I've got a cousin called Kevin.

[Seany]

Forgot about him!!  Fearghal Sharkey.  And Mark Durkan.  Eamonn McCann, Joe Brolly...

Derry Girls is set back in the time when Derry were decent.

Roma Downey is on the rich list, could you not name something after her like Roma Park and get a few dollars.

[Seany]

Downey Park - That'd mean Seamus and Henry might chip in too...

[trileacman]

Delighted for them.

Unbelievable Jeff - Derry have got so shit even I can't believe it!

25 years since they won the AI, sad to see such a decline and I would have thought division 3 would be there floor.

Division 1 final and beating the dubs in cetlic park 4 years ago and running them to 2 points in croke park a year later to relegated to division 4, unreal. so mad at the minute, cant believe the farce going on.

There are approx 12-14 players within the county not playing at the minute due either to them not wanting to, not asked or injured, Kerry play players to 35 if they still good enough, Derry get rid of players like E Bradley who still  wanted to play but the no soccer bandwagan counted against him,he only 30 last time he played for the county. Barely anybody from Coleraine or Ballinderry will play and outside of slaughtneil should be providing alot of number to the county team. In 10years we had the biggest turnover of players, 1 less just than letrim.

Its really shocking stuff.

I'd never have believed any team could fall farther from the top table than Meath and Armagh but Derry have now surpassed the utter dirge served up by both of them.  The men's senior footballers should just clean the ladies boots for a few seasons.

[WT4E]

Look on the bright side lads - you'll get a good ould night out in London next year!!! 

[Itchy]

Very sad to see Derry in div4. Always liked Derry. Surely the club's and players should look hard in the mirror and ask themselves are they happy tipping away in the club scene and allowing their county being embarrassed like this.

You are where you are for a reason and nobody is too good to go down to the bottom. Laois and Westmeath have both plummeted to division 4 in recent years and I don't expect Derry will spend more than a year down there either. Perhaps they should be doing better but there has never been any great love for the county scene in Derry, however neither do they have the quality of player of old.
