Last post by tbrick18 - Today at 07:41:04 PMVery poor from Derry, sending off aside. So flat.
First half us where the game was lost, too many dropped short.
Too many of derrys star players were nowhere to be seen, glass didn't seem interested.
We were chasing the game, lachlan Murray just scored 3 I think, made a score saving tackle and Harte takes him off. Can't see the logic in that.
Galway were good. Should rightly leapfrog derry in the AI rankings and must be in that top 3 tier now.
Didn't listen to the commentary after the game but there can be no defending mckinless.
However, I did think in general galway got their frees easier than us.

GAA Discussion / Re: Seconds teams
Last post by Ethan Tremblay - Today at 07:40:56 PMThey will certainly become more prevalent in county's where club teams have their acts together.
Our club would have lost a lot of players between minor and senior, simply because the majority of players were not physically nor mentally mature for senior football. The stigma of playing b football seen them go to alternative junior teams instead.
Our underage teams seem to have a lot more players than ever, I would imagine we will have a new junior team within the next 5 years to accommodate these players.
U20 competition in armagh is shambles also and is a footnote in the calendar, again giving those players stuck between minor/senior less of an avenue to transition. Junior football for an 18 year old is a good starting point.

Last post by From the Bunker - Today at 07:34:32 PMThat is virtually the end of Derry's season. Finishing 2nd or 3rd is a disaster in the group stage. The system is set up to punish teams finishing in this position by not giving them enough time to recover to play the teams who finish top of the groups.

Last post by galwayman - Today at 07:30:24 PMComers ankle is the big worry going forward.
He had a bad ankle injury a few years back that took him a long time to recover from.
It was a dirty dirty act.
Against 14 men or not - it was a decent performer from our lads.
