[and has got big performances from Rashford in the past]

Get Southgate locked in for next season 

Is he really that bad an appointment compared to ETH? The number of shots that United concede is absolutely shocking and this mainly due to the gaps between defence, midfield and up front so easy to play through. Southgate would  have them a more stable outfit and has got big performances from Rashford in the past.  Could be possibly get a tune out of Sancho?

so has Ten Hag, so what!

What is active recruiting? Phoning someone and asking do you want to play for us, or they phone you and you say, yes please, rather than if your living in the parish we would take the transfer, but if your outside of it we are not really interested. It doesn't work and the lads from your club are left out in the cold, next year is where it will come to roost. I think a player coming into your club in the city is very different to a rural club.

Yeah, I also forgot the keeper they also recruited, Mullan, both he and Lynn played for London in the NFL. Thats 3 now.

[I heard PG1 have done a bit of decent business over the offseason. Enda Lynn in process of completing a transfer]

A lot of Senior Football league games are being played on Wednesday nights according to schedule i saw. Plenty of weekends available to head away if you wish.

I heard PG1 have done a bit of decent business over the offseason. Enda Lynn in process of completing a transfer?

Seriously what is wrong with Portglenone that they don't want to play their own. Lynn is from Greenlough, McGarry from Bellaghy. There is no team who can't claim to be wholesome in this regard, but to actively go recruiting is another. Poor form in my view.

[In summary I would say it is early days and if he contiues to improve, particularly his defense, he can be a decent 2nd tier heavyweight, but he aint gonna beat the Klitschko's and I see guys like Haye and Adamek making him look foolish as well at this point in time.]

i'd disagree about the glass jaw. As a heavyweight virtually anyone near the top of the field has the technique and power to put probably 80% of their opponents on the seat of their pants if they land correctly. Fury has been guilty of being hit far too easily and has been hurt but has not yet gone down. If he had been in with a lethal finisher like Klitschko he would have an early KO on his resume but he is only 23 and shouldn't be hurried along. Encouragingly in his last fight he showed a bit more dynamite in his fists.

In summary I would say it is early days and if he contiues to improve, particularly his defense, he can be a decent 2nd tier heavyweight, but he aint gonna beat the Klitschko's and I see guys like Haye and Adamek making him look foolish as well at this point in time. He can be better then the Clones Colossus however!

This aged well 

Ronnie is marmite

He does his own thing, he's not going to say all the right things and his snooker is off the chart so he doesn't have to go out of his way for sponsorship and the like, they come to him.

Some one said the best British sportsman, I struggle to put snooker, pool and darts into that category of 'sports'

what category would you put it into?

[Your original statement of what you say you saw is just as reliable as the linesman's on the day who's originally from Foreglen and now lives in Donegal. It just lacks any credibility at all.]

I was at the game and it happened right in front of us. McCann lifted his elbow into an unnatural position and caught Mcguckin on the jaw/cheek. Straight red all day long.

Silver Hill i think everyone has moved on.  Your own credibility evaporated the second you posted the above which all video and photographic evidence refutes.

Enjoy your run with Glen rather than prolonging what appears to be a niggling doubt about that side. I'm sure the derry discussion board are awaiting your wisdom

Refutes.... 

It irks you because you know, but you can't admit that Glen may well not have gotten through that game with 15 Cargin men on the pitch for the duration.

Serious bit of straw clutching there re the linesman. Cargin have won one ulster club game in 10 years. Could play until now and still wouldn't get enough scores to win a game in that championship. Delusional. So, by your logic I suppose you feel Cargin would have been ulster Champions today if Tomas hadn't lifted his elbow?

Silverhill now that Tomas got his red card rescinded are you still going to pedal the lie that you had a clear view it was definitely a red card. I watched that video run a number of times and couldn't see an elbow being used at all. Poor form from you.

Looking this in slow motion there is no head contact

I guess you guys watched it on stream, I was at it and found the game absorbing to watch, tactical, physical and intense. Wasn't disappointed at all. One comment, I thought the the ref was terrible, at times I questioned did he actually know the rules. The amount of blatant fouling that went in in pain site, off the ball dragging on kickouts. The lack of protection offered to quality players such as Doherty and Rodgers by the ref, again in plain site does the ref no credit at all. 

All about opinions DK. Ballinderry knew how to get the best out of Gilligan (and Colie Devlin too) in a way Derry didn't. All great players there tbf...

does that mean your club manager is shite as he can't get the best out of your club forwards?

I'm sure you do realise club level is a few runs of the ladder below county explaining why club standard suited them? all these brilliant players derry had with  all those ulster championships they have, is it 9 in a 140 plus years      

That is not Dunloys D3 team, they'll play next season inn that league. The team on Sunday is their senior championship team. This is for slow learners

Some hype about Dunloy this last week and hopefully a lot more this coming week.

Understandable seeing they are a div3 team and haven't been in a final for over 80 years?

Would be fair enough, no?

Jeze yous are a bit hard on them lol

In fairness I haven't seen much about it

They are not a division three team. Don't be so insulting to them. They play there best players in the championship, explaining why they are in the final, if they had of played the players they played in the league they would have been stuffed in the first round.

[Rossa always dangerous come championship.]

Referees getting a lot of stink I see on SV instagram? are they that bad within the county?

Tbh if the contributions to this forum are anything to go by then they're not worth paying any attention to.

Rossa always dangerous come championship. McGettigan, Walsh, Byrne and McEnhill at county plus the likes of Beatty. They'll compete better than they do in the league.

Seriously , when was the last time they beat a fancied team ie Cargin or St Gallsin the past 20 yrs,  or even Creggan in the past 5/6 yrs  to get such kudos

Spot on the money, come proper knockout football, as usual

LD are a team well in decline. Their peak was 2016-19. Minus two county men as well with poor under age. They were there for the taking. Dunloy deserve credit to come from intermediate and get that result. Buts thats as far as they will go. Truth is there are only four serious senior teams, Cargin, Creggan, Portglenone and Aghagallon. A gap exists between them and the rest. However its grt to have a potentially new developing team make a break through.
