Derry Club Football & Hurling original

Cavanagh while having a point about the glen lads playing was very quick to get a dig in about Harte dare say be a reoccurring theme and his punditry be an even harder watch this year.

What did everyone make of McKaigue last night? Been a tremendous player for Derry over the years but he seemed a bit off it last night. Just not as strong when it comes to tackling the man as he normally is.

You'd think he'll be under pressure from the likes of Baker for his place when McEvoy comes back.

Played just fine I thought.

[Brendan]

I thought he had a good first half covering a lot of ground even coming forward to take the point which we haven't seen him do for a couple of years now. But Baker defnitly a good addition to the back line probably stick with McKaigue for the experience when McEvoy does come back. Odhran Lynch looks more comfortable with the ball also than previously so that's a positive since Harte is going to stick with that role for him

[Mario]

I thought Conor Doherty had a great game, continuing his form from the McKenna cup. In fairness he was good at the end of last year too and seems to have bulked up a bit over winter. Good to see other boys step up and be leaders in this team.

He's definitely lost a yard or two of pace.
Still good enough so long as he cuts out the verbals and dramatics.
Thought he was OK last night.

Has big Conor Glass travelled down to Kerry??

Travelling, but not playing.

Stated as a matter of fact.
Can you explain why you came out with this post ?

Because that's what he told me when I was talking to him mid week in Maghera. Either a late change of heart or that was the company line adopted. All 3 did rightly considering the week they'd just had.

Well hope you learned a wee lesson then !

Think all the verbals were coming from O'Shea as he always does, and Chrissy was giving it back.O'Shea been a total mouth for a long time, and very unlikeable,unlike Clifford.

Sure did Jim Bob, nothing is set in stone in life and things can change day by day. Thank you.

Good man. If there'd been any dacency in Big Glass he'd a texted ye to tell ye he was in fact playin'

[Ghost]

Maybe saying he's under pressure for his place was a bit over the top. Although I do feel it's probably time to move away from him as the being the go to man for the oppositions most dangerous forward.

He's probably still worth his place for his experience marking one of the "lesser" forwards. Lesser obviously not the right term as you're going to be marking a quality player at this level but hopefully you catch my drift.

Extremely unlikely any conversation did take place. But if it did Glass seen right thru him so spun him one. Knew he couldn't hold his water, and was proved right.

Why unlikely? They're both Glen men. No team announced until throw in, so all the panel will have been under strict instructions not to spill the beans.
Really enjoyable game. Doherty, McGrogan and McKindless are a formidable halfback line, one of the best about. Re Chrissy, he was a real leader on the pitch last night, he had a superb game.
Last 10 mins was a bit jittery. Nice to get a big 2 points in Tralee.

As far as I know Cahair O'Kane put out a starting 15 without a Glen man mentioned so there were more than Silver Hill who got it wrong.

[screenexile]

Only for McKaigues intervention on 2 goal chances we'd have lost I thought he played well!
