Quote from: tbrick18 on March 25, 2024, 02:55:04 PMQuote from: Rawhide on March 25, 2024, 01:50:37 PMBaker has done really well. He is athletic and understands our patterns of play and times his support runs excellently. Grt through the transition. His weakness is on the few one to ones that todays games allows, he has been to easily gone bye, his tackling in one to one needs improvement. When all our defenders are fit I do not see him starting. I see McCloskey, McAvoy, McKaigue, McGrogan, McKindless & Doherty.
For me Baker has been the find of the season.
I think he's a starter and with a fully fit panel, McKaigue should be the one to drop out.
I'm going to predict that McKaigue will struggle most against the dubs. He won't have the pace and will resort to fouls.
From what I've seen of Gilmore, he's certainly an option. Murray was injured I think for periods last year and in the early stages this year, so I think he just needs a run. Has shown enough imo to be in with a shout.
Any updates on Oisin McWilliams?
Murphy and exciting prospect, I can see him as being a real potent impact sub.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on March 22, 2024, 08:57:11 PMI wait see the team before kickoff, can't see Derry field that, E Bradley Injured? D Higgins sorta dropped off after a decent showing against Armagh in the McKenna cup?I like to see a few lads from the Dublin game get a run out again, we need as many as possible exposed to this level of football for later in the year.

Regardless of having the wear with wall to buy one of these sought after apartments at the time this seems very unfair. Could not believe the legislative difference between here and the mainland, claims must be made within 6 years here whereas across the water it is 30 years.
Perhaps the people there thought they were already on the "mainland".

I'm interested to know what difference being married makes to this also.
Well, apologies , I'm was working on an old traditional assumption regarding being married with kids. Appreciate that plenty of men are in relationships and have kids and are not married. The general point is still the same though, if a player missed his kid's play. That would be a sacrifice imo.
Missing a kid's play. The only sacrifice in life.

Quote from: JoG2 on March 07, 2024, 09:29:16 PMIf you're married there are some things that you might miss out on that would merit being called a sacrifice. Possibly a p1 nativity play if you we training and had a kid that age.Quote from: Silver hill on March 07, 2024, 09:06:53 PMQuote from: Derryman forever on March 07, 2024, 03:16:14 PMQuote from: OakLeaf on March 07, 2024, 02:28:57 PMQuote from: shawshank on March 07, 2024, 01:22:46 PMIts interesting to read that one poster doesn't think our county players sacrifice anything to play county football.
The poster clearly hasn't played at a high level and has no idea of the sacrifice involved. It's not just the sacrifice, it's the stress of playing at that level and all of the public scrutiny that goes with it. Of course the lads are willing to make that sacrifice because they enjoy it, but it isn't easy by any stretch. On saying that, everybody is entitled to their opinion

If you've the talent and you're invited to play county, it's a lifestyle choice, not a sacrifice.
99% are young and unmarried. You've decided to go and train at an elite level with similarly talented individuals, instead of what... playing golf with your mates, going out pinting, lying on the sofa on the PlayStation? Those are not sacrafices.
And that lifestyle choice doesn't include a lot of sacrifices?

Quote from: Brendan on March 06, 2024, 01:41:42 PMIsn't the stuff about the League/Championship structure more important than a team holiday? What is the actual reasons the clubs are angry about

It remains the same ie the decision made in Dec / Jan. 12 in senior champ / 14 in Div 1..?
