DRUMGATH 2-12      ST.PAULS 0-7

A closer game than the scoreline reads.Only a couple of points in it with ten mins to go.

TORGAEL,

was definately a closer game than the score reflects, we were missing 5-6 of our first fifteen, and few of the guys introduced wereplaying their first full game of the season, i would say if we had 3 of the missing players there may have been a different result.

your pitch was in good nick even after the last few days of rain.

Did Pakie and Jack  Lynch turn up for Drumgath tonight

Can't do anything more for you passedit. I got the current Runai to spell it out that way for me last year, as I was pondering playing Paul Murphy in the RFC (as it turned out, he wasn't fit).

Any word of which club players on the sumer exodus Stateside? For the first time in a number of years, it looks like we're getting off scot free.

I dont tink so wobbler, as I hear Paul McComisky is going to America

Very sorry to hear this news - a great character gone.

Sympathies to the Coleman family and Derry GAA.

May Eamon Rest In Peace

My lasting memory of Eamon was the emotion on his face as Henry Downey thanked him for what he had done for that particular team and the whole of  Co.Derry in his speech at Croke Park a very special moment his family can cherish for ever.

Tone, the Drumgath manager, Harry Toner, quit a few weeks back. As far as i know there were very poor turnouts at training & thats why he left. Vincie Burns [former player] is taking the team for now. Team has been playing fairly well, but they miss their county players badly when not available due to having a very small squad of players.

a
Torgael,thats a common problem throughout the county,hows it going for this new man,it will be hard to get a new man this time of the year and you are also in the senior championship this year,what kind of experience has this man of senior football.who did you get in the senior championship.

It is amazing what you think about when you have too much time on you hands.  I have always been interested where the term to "Play on the 40" came from. Is it a particular Cavan/Longford term?  People may line out at centre half forward but it is a special player who is a good "40"man.  It is a lost art now that total football is now the norm.  The person I think of first as a good "40" man is Oige Moran.  Does any one have any ideas?

Greg Blaney was the best "forty man",I ever seen.An absolute play maker ,him and Micky Linden were telepathic.

I'm not convinced Scullion should come in ahead of Mc Cartan

Scullion has been released to play for his club tonight...what that means I don't know...is he not in the reckoning for a starting place? Or does Ross what to give him a bit more football before Sunday week?

I dot tink Scullion will walk straight on to the side Ross will start with the same team that started the last day,I think Dan McCartan struggles on the side but he still gets the nod every time.I also think Aidan Carr has to contribute more to the game played alright in the first game but was quite in the second.

Has anyone heard anything about tickets for this Sunday,s game v Moneghan.There was quite a few went on sale at the ground the last game,I would say that the game will attract a bit more intest this time round some people thought that Down would be beaten by Cavan and never bothered coming out,if things go right for Down the could play in an Ulster final this year.

Its a tough call that one square ball. A major factor which could decide that is how far Down go in the championship as clubs such as Mitchels, Dundrum & mainly Drumgath are playing games without their county men. If these clubs had all their players available then you would have to fancy Drumgath........but this may not happen. The 3rd division is a real toss up at the moment..........people would be better advised to keep their money in their pockets....its too tight to call !

Torgael,whats the craic with the management with Drumgath I hear the manager left,what happened!!!Is the club looking for a new manager,who's taking care of the club at the minute,you,s had a good result aginst Tullylish recently are you,s doing in house at the minute,I also heard that Clonduff manager walked this week too,the two clubs were going quite well at the time.

I don,t think  anybody really know's what the county board is going to do ,after pulling that starred game forward.

Yes Tone, and as I pointed out on the Armagh thread, if we lose to Monaghan , we are in exactly the same position as Cavan (in the first round of the qualifiers)so all the hard work in two games will be for nothing.I don't want to play Armagh, Mayo or Kildare just yet. Let's focus !!

I ve heard that all that shit about some off the lads going to Laceys and on the drink the next day is all sorted out,better now than after the next game i think they were told that if it happens again that they are history.So it will be a dry run in if it lasts at allwith any luck at all we could be loking at an ulster final.

I had a contract with o2 through car phone warehouse and I ended early through my insureance,I just had to settle all the outstandng bills over the counter.

Armagh were unlucky to day they were the better team the whole way through,it was a very rare mistake by Hearty.You haven,t seen the last of them.It was the old guns that shone for them today,when they leave their in the shit.

Cluain Daimh, post your crap somewhere else. If you havent got anything constructive to say , then say nothing !

HERE,HERE toregale if Cluain Daimh has'nt noticed this is a gaa discussion board ,football,hurling etc get the drift

If anybody was at the Cavan game what did you think about the new stand and the pitch,I thought that a few of the lads had choosen the wrong footware and were slipping at times ,have to watch that one lads!!

Well lads how do you think the old enemy will do today,their up against it but I think this one will go to the wire,Ill stick my neck out Donegal by one

armagh to win by 3,donegals bubble to finally burst!

Aramagh will struggle to day and its the old back door for them Donegal by five
