Shane McGuigan is not small, he is a big unit of a man who was well marked yesterday.

Congratulations to Lavey. A derry team has yet again won this. How much stock can we really put in an average Lavey side winning an unofficial minor tournament? A lot of people getting carried away.

Getting carried away with anything positive is certainly something that you wont be accused of Greenlight.

Congratulations to Lavey minors on their winning of the ulster minor championship.
i was at all three games, real quality stuff on display.

I also want to thank my fellow management team – Ryan Porter, Leo McBride, Owen Lennon, Colin McAree and previously Finbarr Fitzpatrick. Your commitment, expertise and loyalty was outstanding.

This year's extended backroom team of Francie McGinnity, Paul McCabe, James Greenan, Steve Williams, Sam Baida, Yianni Louizos, Andrew Ryan, Aoife McGeough, Dr Kieran Burke, Sharon Courtney, Mark Kellet, Richie Forde, Conor McElvaney, and Garrett Coyle , and all the others who were involved in previous years – again, your hard work and dedication was thorough and unrelenting.

Monaghan manager farewell statement, 18 of a management and backroom team.

it would be interesting to hear the numbers from the other 30 counties in Ireland seeing as we have now the Derry management and backroom staff through The Irish News, also the Monaghan numbers listed by Malachy.

[Derry relied on the referees whistle]

Tyrone are usually slow starters in the championship and are no great shakes at home.  Played within themselves in this game, Derry relied on the referees whistle and you had the feeling that when needed Tyrone could up it a bit to win the game.

I'm assuming you watched the game? The absolute state of the Tyrone 'tackling' throughout. Full frontal charging, blocking runners at source, tripping. Tyrone should have been down to 14 with Cavanagh seeing the line. I'd say Enda Lynn's feet are in some state given the treatment he was getting. And Derry relied on the ref? Behave
And slow starters? How's Div 4 prep for a slow start? Youse bucks are some craic.

"Tyrone relied on the refs whistle" was the call from the Dubs supporters as little as a couple of months ago. i rolled my eyes then also .

chat with a Magherafelt man earlier today.
While very disappointed with his clubs second half showing he was refusing to blame their management or players for the pre half time shambles.

There was 1 point in the game not 5.
Myth wind advantage was only favoring those playing cross field passes towards the terrace or shooting from the cover stand side of the pitch.
The call to sit deep came just before their 20m free to tie up the game at 4-4 went bizarrely wide 29th minute of the half, the aim from management was to not concede a killer goal before the ref blew an end to the half.
Slaughtneil pulled 3 ahead and continued to cut off the scoring zone 2nd half using all their experience.
Magherafelt team ran out of ideas.

Games in Glen would give more support to Derry.

Donegal
Tyrone draw Dublin
Galway
Monaghan

Return to the All Ireland 1/4 final straight knock out itinerary for 2019.

[Maybe brighter days ahead if we all have some patience.]

You'd expect our boys to go on and win the ulster final now.

Armagh have 10 men suspended for the game, including 6 starters

Armagh are appealing the decision so we'll have to wait and see. I fancy our lads anyway. Great group with a great mentality and the majority still U19. Maybe brighter days ahead if we all have some patience.
