Why would one sporting organisation invest money and effectively promote another sport? What you are proposing doesnt make sense. And your attitude of you guys just dont understand - is hard to listen to.

the county board buy the rest themselves everybody involved in the panel will get a medal

he would walk straight into the team never mind the panel, he is a f**king pro with a gaa background

i have a spare hogan ticket if anybody wants it pm me

i have ended up with a spare ticket, if anybody needs it pm me

Mortimer is over rated, but i suppose thats another debate. Brolly isnt trying to be controversial, that is just him, he says whatever he he is thinking and isnt worried what anybody else thinks about it but he does like to wined people up the best thing to do with brolly is not give him the attention he craves Dungiven people have known this for a long time.

Ah Big Jarlath,  i dont agree with much he has to say about footbll, but i hear he is an awful nice man.  i dont think there is any gulf. i do think Derry is better, but not a whole lot

You asked me to point out where you discuss tactics, I couldnt be bothered go back through all your posts but a recent one,

I'd expect Wexford to dominate around the middle third unless Louth can hugely improve on their break ball numbers. Wexford have some very big men and with a smallish mobile midfield, Louth's best bet is breaking and winning the scraps. Wexford have been badly burned in the past when their defenders have had to cope one on one in the open spaces of croker and early ball inside could bear fruit for Louth.

My reading of Forde has always been that he struggles to win ball against tenacious markers who possess real speed as, although not slow, he doesn't have rolls royce pace himself. if he can be starved of possession or even dispossessed once or twice it won't be long til he strikes out in frustration.

Is this not about tactics?

just admit it you do feel you understand football more than the common man, your tone is preachy all of the time. 

going to watch football doesnt make you the expert you so clearly believe you are.  it's like the player that trains harder than any other but just cant get any better.  from reading your posts you are not the tactical genuis you think you are, of course this is just my opinion.

I totally agree you dont have to have been a great player to be a great manager.   but you would have been involved at a high level in football to fully understand and be a good analsyt.  Thats is why i said medals won as a manager?? what has he done?  I know loads of people rate themselves has great managers and tactitions, without ever been inside a dressroom.  Mourinhio was a translator at one of the biggest clubs in the world i would say he picked up a fair bit and his da was also a proffessional footballer, which is bound to have helped.

Check out gaelsport my club use it, easy to update and manage

Guys from i have read of Uladh's post, he sees himself as the orcale of ulster football.  His insight is beyound most men's understandingl.  I have no doubt he has medals coming out his ears both as a player and manager of the highest standing.  if he deems his thread necessary then it is necessary he is gaelic football

as a derry man i would be worried about this match.  i know Derry can win, but i wouldnt put money on any Derry team, esp this one.  Glad to hear it is in casement, think it is a great venue and Derry do alright there.

Will beinterested to see how P Finlay gets on against Fergal Doc and James Conway, Finaly is a sublime footballer but i think he is more a half forward and may struggle against 2 big men.  Big Benny is an honest worker, but a bit to naive at this level for the time being. Derry to boss the midfield.

I think the Monaghan forwards will give Derry a hard time, Freeman, Hannarty and Gollogly are fine forwards,  but i am hoping it is by controlling possession and getting enough ball to bradly, gilligan, lynch and muldoon we can get through, just about.
