Derry Club Football & Hurling original

Whatever team lines out on Sunday lets get along to Celtic Park and give them our support. No one is expecting anything so we have nothing to lose! Doire Abu

Agree totally. All true Doire Gaels will be there supporting no matter what the chances or result. Doire abú!

+1 . Well said

This ballacks sickens my shit, getting a jersey on and turning up at county matches a few times a year does not qualify you as any sort of a gael in my book.

[Rawhide]

I also agree with you. A team that has been relegated as a result of a manager not selecting players that would have ensured the two points that we would have needed to not get relegated, coupled with a team that will be selected that have only really trained together for four weeks as a result of a gut of club games, which tells me the county team is not their number one priority, a management team who have demonstrated zero ability to put together a defensive structure. We haven't a mission.  I could literally count on the one hand how many championship games I have missed with Derry, but I have decided that this is a complete waste of my time and it will be 3/4 hours of my life that I won't get back. I am voting with my feet on this one, as much it bugs me to do it, as I know I will spent that time on Sunday following twitter or radio Ulster. Apologies in advance.

[Keyser soze]

Well that's not really what I was saying Rawhide. What team is selected or what the manager has or has not done is not my point.

It's people who boast that they never miss a Derry match, have all the full kit clobber but would not be seen at a club match from end of the year to the next or have any involvement in their club, and are then claiming ownership of GAA in Derry that get my goat.

Stay you at home then. Enjoy.

You cant bring a team together in 6 weeks and hope it all suddenly happen on match day! Players have to hold down steady positions over 2/3 seasons to begin to play like a team and be comfortable playing in the same position! This is not happening in Derry; Donegal club football is nothing to phone home about but their focus is always on county teams! Not club rivalary which means nothing outside the county! The reason why a number of capable players not selected by the manager causing Derrys relegation has been brushed over! And i wonder do many know the reason these players were not selected!

[restorepride]

The team on Sunday is representing Derry GAA, clubs involved and not, players involved and not.  Derry GAA deserves the support and the players representing us deserve our support - in Celtic Park.  Doire abú.

Enough there to beat the Daniels.

Get ripped into them.

Good luck to the Derry senior football team tomorrow. I will travel the long distance to the game because I'm a Derry supporter. The pitch will be in great condition because there have been no games on it but things will change soon thankfully. The People have spoken with their feet. I expect a performance tomorrow which Derry Gaels will be proud of. Doire Abu

Swatragh not that far me oul mucker

While the tinkering with the team during the league has annoyed and embarrassed me - given we've ended up in division fckn 4- I still like the look of this side named.

I do worry about team cohesion given the league chopping and changing which severely restricts our effectiveness.
Pity I am not able to be heading up there today... also pity it's not on live tv... but I'm Hoping that this might be the start of a derry resurgence!
Donegal massive favourites but if We can hit any kind of decent form...they are no world beaters either...

Come on Derry (as much in hope as anything)

Pre match drink time lol

Brutal again foreby e bradley! Disorganised! Players out if position etc etc! I watch the tv highlights before giving full opinion but we still going backwards

Brutal? Hardly a fair assessment for boys that were prepared to put the jersey on in a match they were never expected to win.  They weren't actually disorganised either, much better set up than in the league.

Ach man.. We were lambs to the slaughter, huge underdogs blah blah. Much improved on the league imo. You could definitely see the slickness and cohesion of the Donegal team, something you'd expect from a more settled team. Economy of effort had them reel off scores after a few quick passes and runs. We had to work much harder. I counted 5 very scorable wides in both half's along the 20 metre line.
We had a good team out and I could see them gel if we get a decent draw tomorrow morning.
