Alisson out for 2-3 weeks...Kelleher to get a good run

Is it only the Irish media that over rate that man? Consistently shocking for Liverpoil when he gets a chance

Sean McGoldrick going into retirement, big boots to fill in that club, felt like he has a hand in managing all their underage teams in both codes, always seemed to be on the Sideline no matter the occasion

Think this belongs in this thread

Toreen win 3 in a row Connaught Intermediate hurling championships, are the folk saying Glenullin should go into Derry senior going to comment on that?

[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.

I know that's the case there was more thinking for clubs like my own who certainly couldn't afford both

The only one you know.
well there are a number in Derry now. McKaigue being the latest.

GPOs specifically employed by a Club? Was there just a big deal made of mckaigue appointment because of who he is then?

It's a serious issue...let's take it out on Footlocker.

Sc#@bags who haven't worked a day in their life.  Putting people out of work on Friday morning.

Wasters.

one of the guys whos who stormed the derry city council last night has not work a day in his life but nothing will be said about that

Parts of Derry with a higher percentage of people on the Derry Living Allowance than there is working

Off the Ball been making an appearance on my Spotify again this week haven't listened since they went behind a pay wall. Wonder will the new gaa subscription be worth the price when they announce it

A problem I have with the current system, Fermanagh has 1 club so basically 1 club contributing to the county team and getting tens of thousands spent on their players, furthering the gap between them and the emerging teams who are only fielding at underage at the minute

Derry with 4 what a joke.

More of a joke is they only won 2 last year when they beat arguably stronger teams to achieve the same feat

If they're not completely done, which I assume they're not; Could they not send a few rows out to Clubs to be reused in their stands?

Isn't the  old Nally stand still  being used up in Tyrone somewhere?

Carrickmore

Roscommon man now, they've really tore up the rule book and in a good way!

James Mccarthy shifted out of position just to get him in there, but I'll not complain too much derry on 3 so far

Jeremy Bowen 10 o'clock news, "Israel's evidence at the Al Shifa hospital is frankly not very convincing". 

He has been very fair and balanced compared to that Rosenberg chap they have in Moscow
