Was he playing full forward or Midfield, I rather see him getting a run out at Midfield but found it hard he getting a run out when he didn't play with swatragh after he came bck.

Lads abit harsh on Anton, I was at all the McKenna cup games and imho there were a few not up to county standard and are so called established players. Rory has his fav picks and it will be hard to break into that team. Guaranteed it will be same as last year with the same result sadly. Correct me if I'm wrong......

8 officials and all they could see was one red card each!

Regarding officials the referee in the coleraine/slaughtneil game was a county board disgrace, those teams deserved better and I felt sorry for them. As for the first game the match video should making interesting viewing as there was definitely more than one red apiece. Plenty of private videos doing the rounds, can't be ignored.

A lorry load of refs have hung the whistle up in the county the last few years. Who'd blame them? The amount of abuse they have to listen to us unreal.

Jo'G that may be but those are the biggest games of the year so far and we get that, Benny Dan Barry Cathal Mervyn Ritchie, sorry if I've missed anyone but the competing senior teams deserve better imho.

First Derry man in an Ulster senior final in years and what a terrible performance. Cassidy had an absolute nightmare. Always refereeing the  game by looking to make sure  he wasn't favouring the underdog. Got stick before from Donegal ones and making sure he wasn't getting it yesterday.

I do think Brannigan shafted him calling the last black card.

Serious disrespect being shown to the county champions. This board under estimates a team that has improved on last year. Kick of a ball will decide it.

On a side note can anyone on this board tell me who replaced Sean Curran, overseeing the referees this year.
Thanks in advance.

The first evening of league action for soooooo long. This needs to change. We had a predictable win. Draperstown started well but when we settled down we took control and looked comfortable. Artie's 4 lad probably the best on the pitch. On another note,Tiernan Walsh is a quality defender but didn't play for Derry u20s.  More questions!

Any thoughts, derry had 3/4 injured players on the field during final. Can someone explain why this happened, I feel sorry for the lads on bench, who never were going to get on. The glen and bellaghy 20s had a good night back with their clubs from what I hear. Can Mickey Donnelly survive the roller coaster crash??

Great fight back by the 20s. Hopefully a couple push through to seniors although it's a big step to be ready for senior football. A lot of them still look like youngsters so serious work needed to get physically ready for it. Hopefully some sort of development program put in for all these lads to do.... and keep some of the parents and clubs from wrecking their heads.

I was at the u20s last night, thankfully the bellaghy crew saw us over the line, fair play to them, some great talent coming through.   Bellaghy unlike other clubs are going the right way. Having watched st pats this year, fermanagh will fancy their chances, don't think they would let a 10pt lead slip.

I was in owenbeg Saturday, derry u20s were outgunned by a very good cavan team. Good to see Oisin McWilliams getting a game under his belt, he will be key for rest of year. Noticeable change of team from minor grade, something similar to Tyrone. Definitely work to do but have the big game players and hopefully all available injury free.before the Armagh game.

Them Maghera ones are some slabbers along a line. What would they be like if they ever win anything
In fairness Bellaghy had two penalties waved away, scoreline flattered glen abit. Btw who is the black haired guy from bellaghy mgt who had a lot to say, strange accent? A day for shocks all round with all the favourites turned over, prob the biggest shock swatragh, fair play to them bringing the youth through.....

Concannon has to start on form, surely? In fact Sean Quinn would be unlucky to be dropped too.  Might mean putting Karl in the half backs and trying Chrissy in midfield again. But I know damn all tbf

Oh aye, Odhran Lynch should start too.
I was at the game and would agree concannon has serious potential, not so sure about Chrissy in midfield....He was poor. Bar one wayward kick out posties restarts were good...Derry missed the boat against a weakened Tyrone team imho
