A second consecutive reality check for us. Not realistic contenders, especially with the current management.
Two stamping incidents this year with a Derry team coached by Gavin Devlin. Coincidence?
Harte's success with Louth vastly overstated; Baker took Antrim from div 4 to div 2 and to an ulster final. Would any Derryman want him at the helm?

It's not current management, it was the injury list and playing 3/4 game with 14 men. Complete half back line gone, Loughlin, and McKindless off, couple of men ill during the week, and McGuigan's shot goes in with 7 to go it's a level game. That's to be applauded. Full compliment and we're absolutely contenders.

Tyrone men have so little to chat about these days a Derry loss is their victory! 

You better believe it! This team was going to win Sam! Time to show its not all big talk!

There is nowhere ... anywhere that anybody from Derry said we were gonna win Sam!!

Not the first time a Derry player has done this. I recall that Rodgers stamped on someone recently too, no call for it. Trampish stuff.

yes we love stamping on people, it's a fetish of ours. What debauchery is your county in to?

Bishop Pat Buckley, 72

Commemorated eloquently and for all eternity in song by The Slaggarts. Can't remember it all but some of it might have gone like this.

In the mountains of old Mexico
Where the rebel priests we love to grow
We've heard of another, we love like a brother
He's Father Pat, our amigo

If your daughter is living in sin
With a pervert from outside Drumquin
In a broken down caravan, ragged and starvin
Father Pat, he'll take them in

If your girlfriend is ugly and coarse
If you've been through a messy divorce
In the family way, there's no need to delay
Just ring Father Pat Buckley of course

Tried to find that on YouTube last nite... v funny song from the Omagh Slaggs done in Mexican accent!

I only ever had it on a cassette. Lost it some time before the turn of the millennium.

Thoughts on the big fight?

Expect Fury to punch the stomach of Uysk all night, Usyk won't have the Ref's protection he got v Dubois 2nite for his 'low blows'. Assuming Fury had an off night v NGannou you'd have to fancy him but Usyk is certainly no dozer.

Fury the bookies favourite and going to points is 8/13.

Fury to win in R9 is my bookies interest.

Any idea what the €500 million refers to?

Yes, he referred to two different groups / lists of commitments - one was in relation to new / improved centres of excellence (with both Armagh and Monaghan getting a mention) and the other to GAA Stadium infrastructure projects - this latter list included Kerry, Tipp, Louth, Meath, Kildare and Antrim.

I don't think adding money to GAA grounds does the games much good. Pairc ui chaoimh is a great warning

You don't think Louth, Meath, Kildare and Antrim don't need a help financially??

They do not need tens of millions each.

Tight hoor

Pretty poor stuff from Rory only a handful of guys who made the cut had a worse score. The double bogey was club hacker golf.

Love this sort of shit from people who know fcuk all.All commentary says a scratch golfer would struggle to get round under 90 on that course but yet McIlroy is club hacker. Christ above.

  glad you love it I'll keep it coming. Lowry on fire. McIlroy back on track. It's certainly hotting up.
