This is simply a complete failure of leadership on the behalf of the County Chairman John Keenan and the Operations Manager Stephen Barker. If either had an ounce of integrity they both should resign at the AGM.

That may sound harsh, however in their roles they have mismanaged and overseen a mess.

Best venue in the county Celtic Park. New road infrastructure has made a very welcome improvement. 2nd Owenbeg. Out of the venues in South Derry my preferred one is Bellaghy when full, although a bit tighter.

That wasn't really the point. You should add context to your post. It was about how childhood trauma effects people. They referenced a book whereby alot of successful people have suffered childhood trauma and that trauma has driven them. Whatever they did or who ever they met, it was performance, they were never themselves, never happy in their skin. Your post was how he described how he felt for years. Following psychotherapy sessions over a prolonged period of time he felt he eventually came to terms with himself and is a more more relax happy person, being the person he actually wanted to be. I found the segment where he said even the kidney donation was a performance, looking to be noticed very insightful to how childhood trauma directed his behaviour pre therapy.

Looks like Chrissy has a lot of influence. Behind Hartes appointment as well. We have coaches in our own county as capable at this fella.

Quote from: Rawhide on August 28, 2024, 08:03:54 PMWildweasel you do realise that we had a very poor numbers of teams since the group Crozier had were finished by 2008. The three yr period from 05-08 was their best opportunity and unfortunately were in with a grt Tyrone team. From that period of 08 the players were in decline and being replaced by a poor conveyor belt of crap underage teams until the recent crop came along and Gallagher was appointed. For anyone to argue differently beggars belief for me.

Would Damien Cassidy go back to Derry at this stage? Especially given his time was Derry was with one of these above mentioned weaker panels. Is he retired or semi retired? Won championships with Clonoe and Cargin and I'm sure he knows that won't be happening with Bellaghy any time soon

Jez I'm talking in a previous post about Tony Mac as manager and Deets as coach, who are at the cut and thrust of intervounty management and your talking about going back to the past 🤮🤮

Armagh played 5 games against rubbish and got bt when they played the first quality team they met. Meanwhile Derry played the 91 & 94, 92, 95 & 89/90 All Ireland winners in their 5. Context is always important putting forward an argument.

I don't believe that O'Rouke is out of the equation just yet. Enda Mc Ginley, no seriously what has he achieved, we have better internal people with good experience. I can seen Gilligan , although I believe he would better as a number 2. Johnny, again absolutely nothing that suggests he is capable at that level. Can't understand where his name has popped up from. McEntee with Gilligan would be a runner for me.

Quote from: Mario on August 02, 2024, 12:58:52 PMWe did find a replacement for McKaigue last year. Baker started every game. When we had everyone fit there were 7 defenders who always start for 6 positions. Personally I don't think that is our priority going into next season.
Baker isn't a replacement. Chrissy grt man marker, Barker one on one v weak, loads of evidence. However he is good at attacking from deep and very mobile. Agree we need to develop a replacement for Chrissy. Makes perfect sense

Quote from: JoG2 on December 12, 2023, 11:29:09 PMI suppose they'll be various speed wobbles along the way, part and parcel of committees.. From the outside looking in, it's not so bad (performance wise)

The problem is that there was alot of work done behind the scenes when McKeever got the V Chair post. He put together a football committee (they were side-lined as they were holding certain people to account)that shaped the high performance aspect of the county teams. That was designed to bring continuity to our county teams regardless of who was in charge, the managers might change but the elite performance aspects would remain. That has been dismantled and you have Harte (who i hope continues to do well) coming in with his own backroom team. In other words we are going back to how our county teams were run 6 yrs ago and beyond. The long term effect of this approach will come home to roast in 8/10 yrs time if it is not remedied.

I think, on the back of Cahair O'Kanes article in the I.N. about the amount of injuries we are experiencing. I'll recyle this post I made on 13th December.

Its a strange one, the guy in his 13 yr senior career has never lifted his hand to hit a player. He is physical in the tackle etc, but its a hard one to figure. No history until now.

Let's go with this one. A mate just turned 60, T2D for 10 years treated with all the standard drug protocols. Carrying too much weight,has nasty foot ulcer for over 12 months, diabetic retinopathy requiring injections into his eyeballs, regularly shits himself and now on insulin like a T1.
He hangs on every word of his dietitian with the healthy whole grains and low saturated fat, 5 a day, healthy cooking oils crap. All the while steadily declining.
Someone who is severely insulin resistant(carbohydrate intolerant) eating loads of carbs. In what universe does that make sense.
Won't listen to a word I say regardless of me showing him evidence of 100s of people just like him resolving their symptoms by drastically reducing the carbs in their diet.
Adamant he's going to listen to the doctors and nurses, they know best after all. And he's married to a nurse!
Sorry couldn't find any humour in this sad tale.

Why should he listen to you?

I assuming your advice is based upon "your published" scientific research. The research has been conducted to relevant standards and peer reviewed to the highest degree? Or is this just 100s of anecdotal claims that is used to back up your views and no serious scientific basis behind it? If the answer is as I suspect, then he's absolutely right not to listen to you.

I've no doubt diet and healthier lifestyles can help "reduce" symptoms for certain conditions, even if it's just for mental health or a placebo effect. Lots of the stuff I read is pure pseudoscience and backed up by no real scientific research or clinical trials, which is morally wrong and downright dangerous.

Ah the perfect man big Pharma loves. No doubt you took the 'vaccine' not a question asked?

He did nothing wrong, the echo chamber of spitefulness and hate that exist in some people hearts posting here is simply dreadful. Go and do something nice for someone. You never know how it will inspire u

Some of you guys are pathetic, bordering on spiteful. If you took the time you would know Brolly has known MDMCA for quite a while and Brolly had been eulogising about the charitable work M Dara had been doing on the Freestate podcast last year.

He was looking at the ball on the last play on normal time and thought he saw a foul. We can conclude he is another ref out of his depth
