I want Oso opinion on the game  saying he had plenty to say before the Ulster final.

You didn't even go to the game.  Can you even comment on it weasel?  Could you see anything on TV?  Glad you remembered my name.  Honestly can't recall a single post you've made on the other hand.

Lovely bit of deflection there Oso....Bravo.

Check his views on the Antrim thread, they're even better 🤣🤣 the fog affected Kilmacud more and Doherty didn't really get that big a slap to the head as he went off with a sore knee 🤣🤣

Ah, another fan.  Your whole village is out looking for you.  He went off because of his knee you absolute clown. Did you even watch that part?

Here's a fact for you Oso, it's his ankle that is injured and the reason why he had to go off. The slap to the head meant he had no control of where he was placing his legs when he was felled. You can clearly see on the replays his leg buckling back underneath his body. But I forgot.. you know best on these things.

Still waiting on Oso's post match analysis, ill not hold my breath  

Ah you're just as sad as the rest of them!  Are you that small minded?  I suppose I should be chuffed you remembered my name, btw you're irrelevant to me!

Sunday was a disaster from my point of view, went there hoping to see your lot hammered and see the most ignorant crowd in club football quietened.  Wouldn't know you hadn't won anything til about 3 years ago or been anywhere before then.

Visibility was a joke and clearly affected crokes more than Glen. Despite not turning up for 3/4 of the game crokes still almost pulled it out of the bag when Glen literally filled their togs in the second half. So much for managing games and seeing them out, hasn't happened once outside Derry.  Some of crokes wides were brutal and they missed enough chances to win that game comfortably. Even the Walsh miss at the very death, no idea why he needed to carry it in further as he forced himself wide, it seemed within his range but maybe he couldn't see the posts clearing when he glanced up with the poor visibility.

The number of posters giving off about the tackle on Jack Doherty being a red because of contact with his face and him having to go off... He didn't even hold his face!!? and we all know Glen love to simulate (Emmet Bradley is made of chocolate it seems) he went off because he jarred his knee in the tackle. 

Both Doherty's playing with wing mirrors on, jack even lifted the ball clean off the ground in the first half before he went off as he was so busy looking around himself.

Can only hope St Brigids do me a favour in the final. 

Holy Moly, already a contender for post of the year.

Seems there were lots of experts sitting watching the fog on screen at home who will have to believe what Cahair O'Kane wrote in the Irish News.

Armchair fans.  Same everyday out.  At least I went....
Hoping to see them beaten. 

Bitter, salty tears, that's a very big chip on that shoulder. Don't let it eat you up man.

Hard luck Cushendall. Epic game. 3 or 4 rushed efforts with 10 /15 left proved costly. Ref a wee bit sore on them I thought in that second half.

Leaving aside how he manufactured the position whilst still chair, there should have been sufficient governance in place to keep him in check. Unfortunately, our current chair has no interest in providing that and a cozy cartel now ensues whereby the chair is happy to attend the funerals and give out the medals at the dinner dances whilst the ceo does exactly as he sees fit.
As mentioned previously Mckeever had attempted to put a football committee in place with people who actually knew something about the game but like everything else, the strategic plan that was proposed was read and then swiftly binned. Complete waste of Damian Cassidy's time and that of Phillip Kerr, Danny Quinn et all. Barkers role is to implement the strategies and recommendations of the wider county board (who in turn represent the clubs within the county). Instead, it is indeed the 'tail wagging the dog' as Barker is operating without impunity, scrutiny or accountability. Witness the recent hissy fits when he was publicly challenged on the age group changes. He appointed his mate Collins without taking nominations from clubs or consulting anyone else. Jonny McBride was interested in the job but withdrew because he didn't agree with the back room team that was being suggested for him by Barker. Add in his misplaced loyalty to Gallagher which meant that we we forced to go for Harte when ulster council scuppered Gallagher's return.
Add to that his petulance at Derry games, effing and blinding and roaring at refs and the President of the association. It really hasn't been a great start if you take a real good look at everything.

Who is leading Derry U20s this year? See Martin Boyle has stepped down and away to Loughmacrory.

I believe Chris Collins is u20 manager for 2024.

Dear god

Unbelievable

Jobs for the boys.
Tail is wagging the dog up there.
As a GAA employee is he even allowed to?

Many a county would want a tail like ours... Not too many would put their name forward for the u20s I'd imagine.

What does that statement even mean?
Are you suggesting that other counties could be envious of our CEO?

Tomas red card rescinded. For Cargin it's a case of they'll never know what would have happened had Tomas played the full game, but as Lar says, you'de have to admit it would not have been a surprise had Cargin scraped through.

That's the harshness of football, we never get to really know!

No one in the stand that day thought it was red (whether they admit it or not), the Foreglen linesman had his say but its all parked now, at least Tomas has no suspension hanging over him for this new season.
What about Antrim, the Portgual training trip is bound to have a positive effect, some very winnable games in Div 3, promotion should definitely be on the agenda

It's been discussed to death at this point but to say no one in the stand thought it was a red is a bit of a stretch. Maybe no one from Cargin but that's to be expected as we're all partisan when it comes to these things. I did think it was a red card offense when watching live. I've also seen loads of stills and videos since that wouldn't suggest that I change my mind. Tomas lost possession, he was frustrated with himself and in that split second, he raised his elbow into an unnatural position. Intent etc doesn't really come into it after that. As Roy Keane used to say when he was lined, 'did I give the ref an opportunity to send me off there?' And in Tomas's case, I personally think he did. As for the argument if had remained 15v15....as I've said previously, Cargin's style of play offensively needs to change. They simply don't score enough to win games at that level. That's my own honest opinion on it.

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.

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.

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?

Very harsh man.
Anyone can have an off day.  He's some footballer.

Brolly, a guy who gave away his kidney, does literally copious amounts of charity gigs, goes to club events up and down the country for nothing, and we have gaels slating because he has a opinion that some of you don't like or agree with. The whole essence of being a barister is strongly putting across your opinion. And that's the bit that gets under your skin. The difference between brolly and McGregor is night and day.

His charity work or whatever doesn't excuse his outrageous outbursts over the year's especially the one towards Sean Cavanagh 10 years ago. He should have been booted from RTE at that point. Did Sean Cavanagh go running to solicitors?

Did he say anything litigious...did he threaten him in any way?
If I recall it correctly , he questioned Sean's manliness because of the cowardly and cynical way he pulled McManus to the ground. I think he was bang on the money for that one

Cargin learnt nothing from last year. What's the point it just trying to contain Glen? 2 points from play this year, similar last year. Why not have a cut if your players are as talented as you say they are? Some bit of whinging this year and last. If that's the height of your ambition; to limit Glen to a 4 point defeat, then you're never going to get past a first round in ulster. As for us, this is all new territory and we'll enjoy our moment on the sun as we know we'll fall back into the pack like every other club does. I'm enjoying the ride so far, we'll see where it ends. Not playing that well this year but just about doing enough. Our wide count yesterday is worrying as they were from good positions and under minimal pressure. We won't get away with that down the line. Scotstown looking like the firm team, that was a big scalp to take yesterday. 9 county players, jack mccarron now transferred in, they'll be hard to stop I think

Think you need to gave a word with your 'stats man' S H Cargin did score three points from play, not a lot but  Glen managed just  one more...2 from J Doherty, one each from corner back Michael Ward and Ciaran Mc Faula.
The rest from placed efforts, a few questionable.....

As for outa form players did Conor Glass get a kick at all?

Think you need to take another peek and at your recording and keep fingers crossed the Cavan man may be recalled North if Glen reach the final...

Ahem.....just for the record Country Bumpkin, we scored 5 from play in the game... 2 from JD, and one each from warnock, mcfaul and Ethan Doherty. Just wanted to tidy that up for you. And I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Cargin only had 2 scores in the game from play....one in first half from your centre half back, and then one in the second from your sub Close. I think it's important that we try to be accurate when quoting stats.

f**k me like groundhog day talking about this match. get the f**k over it

Just a wee fact check chief, keeps the record straight, otherwise people just spout shit.
