Are Ballinderry the only club to put up prices to club league games?

No slaughtneil did the same went to watch slaugtneil an ballinderry and was charged £5 every other club was charging £3

that's a funny thing, I was just commenting on that to a friend of mines recently about when was the last time there was an increase into club league games. It is £3 for as long as I can recall. £5 is fair enough rate to charge in my view.

Neither price is correct gents. County board directive to increase prices from £3 to £4 for all senior league games, so don't blame the poor gate men.

I was over at the minor match last night and there was a Newbridge told me that there was three minutes good football played during their fight with Dungiven on Sunday 😄. Seamus Mullan will probably throw the referee's report in the bin like what he does with all Dungiven reports.

You really are a class act TFAL

i suppose your going to claim he doesnt get paid ?

that's right

[the sponsor / main that pays him his wages]

Lads don't feed the troll he hasn't a clue . . . wouldn't surprise me if it was another tfal account!!

just stating my opionin when ive seen him in club he is exectioal just feel he is out of his depth in county along with the two screen men in the seniors young araon bradley deserves his place on the panel before young mcwilliams who was previously droped at the start of the year along with a few other players . but mcerlain hadnt the balls to stick to his guns when the sponsor / main that pays him his wages told him to take the older players back and that is coming from within the derry camp.

You might want to rethink that statement or check with some of your inside men

[paddy mcbrearty would have some laugh]

I agree that enda lynn barely got a kick v Armagh. And have no illusions that when we meet Donegal (or Cavan) we won't have a hope in the Ulster championship, paddy mcbrearty would have some laugh. We do silly things  going forward, like three times against Armagh a man tried to fist a simple pass over the head of the back, only for him to just put the hands up and catch it. Like I know Armagh missed some chances, we did too, and a win wasn't totally off the cards. I was expecting a 10-15 point loss heading to the game.

I don't think he will 

[We were the best team in the county by a country mile]

Everyone from Bellaghy with a social media account boasting about hosting a bloody colleges match. What will they be like if they ever win another championship?  A wee  bit embarrassing

We put on a show young man. We were the talk of Ulster last night on how to stage big games.
Some club. The next instalment of championships are about to roll.
Bring the county games to Bellaghy

LOL. This time last year tfal was boasting about the glorious youth coming through in Bellaghy and after the embarrassment of the loss to Draperstown in the minor final all they can celebrate is a big crowd at a schools game. How the mighty have fallen LOL

Bravefart, that was a hard one to take. We were the best team in the county by a country mile and screen nearly won Ulster.
But it does back up my argument about the '93 managers. Damian Cassidy and Danny Quinn were the managers

TFAL please never leave this board. You are priceless 

After  the absence of a proper defensive system against Westmeath and the non existence of a meaningful attacking formation against Longford one would expect that in this week's encounter with Offaly that Derry will get the balance right.Anyhow with the necessity to get some points it is imperative that Derry will be more attack minded next Sunday. Our best points scorers will have to be selected.Provided all players are fit I would expect the team to be along the following lines.
             Ben McKinless
             Niall Keenan
             Kevin Johnston
             Ruairi Mooney
             Liam McGoldrick
             Michael Bateson
             Carlus McWilliams
             Conor McAtamney
             Emmett  Bradley
             Ciaran Mc Faul
             James Kielt
             Enda Lynn
             Danny Tallon
             Terence O'Brien
              Niall Toner

OMG

Not sure what your OMG means. Is he missing a lot of players or has reality kicked home ?

You can also take Ciaran McFaul out of that team now.

What happened with McFaul?

[kindness]

What would your own solutions be?

NOT
Step 3: I'd like to see every Senior and intermediate league and championship game videoed by the county board, so that we could at least have the impression within the county that the Senior management take some sort of interest in players who are performing well during club games. They should have a dossier of players from each club, and provide players who are performing well with training plans / tips (with a view of being called up in coming seasons)

Highlights should be put on the website, which would generally increase the coverage of the club game.

Every senior and intermediate to be videoed-a lot of volunteers involved in that! Or do they get paid per video. All but a couple of the best club players are in the squad. We,in Derry need to accept it. Gareth mc kindness is a quality player but his disciplinary record looks pathetic and as much as they'll never admit it in public,Ballinderry are fed up with him also. Danny heavron is a mistake,he should be on the panel. No matter about history,he deserves his chance to prove he is worth his place. Emmett mc guckin needs to loose 2 stone to become a county footballer. Other than that,we have what we have,a load of average footballers. Whenever we get the Slaughtneil players back,I can see every 1 of them starting come the Ulster championship. This is the reality

Gareth has been called a lot of things over the years but not so sure this was one of them!

Unfortunately BH, too many people on here and outside of here don't want to listen to reality.

Greenlight with quality analysis like this, you were made for this board.

Who do I send my mileage expenses to 
After going to Celtic Park on Wednesday night, I was hoping to see how the young bucks faired out against more physical opposition in Armagh.
