Big mistake from whoever decided to put this game on TV. Neutrals would have still gone to Glen Slaughtneil if on RTE providing some atmosphere. And with both clubs having a profile beyond Derry even if it was rubbish would still have provided interest to viewers.
With respect to both clubs tonight very few going to choose a cold night in owenbeg to watch them. It has made Derry GAA look a bit small time.

I'm not from Derry but I agree, also the Sky guide RTE said this was the Derry football final and I assumed it was Glen Slaughtneil until I tuned in.

No idea why RTE picked this, to be honest at this stage RTE and TG4 should be just showing county finals even if they're from smaller counties.

No finals on a Saturday evening.

TG4 has that covered on a Sunday.

Wtf is Gilligan talking about?

He says 'technically it's a free'.

He's said it twice.

If it's technically a free, it's a free.

And he's supposed to be a high level coach. FFS.

That would be a fantastic rule to bring in. Cut out a lot of the nonsense in one fell swoop.

Yeah, that would cut a lot of the messing about out for sure.  Hopefully it's implentmented in full.

It would make the game a lot better.

Tottly different but didn't there an issue with Steelstown a few years ago in Ulster?

Did they concede a match or something?

I wonder how much Derry County Board, or any county board, get from showing one of these games on RTÉ on a Saturdy evening?

I presume the rugby game before get more as it's higher profile? And does it go to the IRFU?

Too many rules already. And we adding a ton more, just more problems for the ref.

The ref., especially in club games is the last person they're worried bout unfortunately.

All about the gimmicky displays etc.

Lyra dressed up for the BIG

Didn't know the 2 Johnnies had tops like that for sale.

Their female supporters must be brave!

Mark Doran has the job by all accounts with Karl lacey and paddy bradley. Have to wait until club championship over before announcing.

No idea why Bradley is being mentioned in these conversations.

There is some serious vermin in our society, it is a pity that there is not a big hole to just throw them all into.  The world would be a better place without them:

Could've done without reading those to be fair...scum of the earth

Some get a rough deal as to their genetic ''Guardians''.

The word Guardian has no meaning to these people.

The first 3 stories on the BBC ni website make grim reading.

Society is crazy.

Looking at that league table, it's tight alright but what stands out for me is the goal difference.

It's not that much in terms of more goals scored V goals against for the teams at the top.  Mustn't have been too many 6 - 0 hammerings dished out. Especially after 30+ games.

Harte to Leitrim?

Mickey Grahams stepped down after only taking the reigns a couple of months back.

What happened there?

That's some development plan they have in place.

Fair play. Great work by all at that club.

Given the atrocities conducted by Hamas on October 7th what would have been an appropriate response by Israel?

Why are you using October 7th as a starting point?

That's the question.

I got an email from my Car Insurance provider (Privilege), saying I'm due some sort of refund, fairly vague on details but stated a letter will follow. Obvious red flags, never in my day have I heard of this?? Waiting on the post with bated breath!

Could be a scam?

Don't give your details until you're 10o% sure.

Just in case, ask for cheque.

Derry City ard in the driving seat.

2 games in hand.

Be good to get the 6pts there though.
