If it's only one more week until it's all sorted then that's acceptable. The likes of Donaghmore should not get to benefit with the starred fixtures over other teams.

Galway half forward line is definitely their weakest line, and another option (Cathal Sweeney) just dropped out through injury. So if the Derry injuries do arise, it's probably the area you'd be able to troubleshoot best

Who plays alongside McKinless in the event McEvoy and Doherty do indeed drop out? I assume they won't move Rodgers back on Comer again, leaving the task to McKaigue?

This board would have half the comments or less if there wasn't a 'discussion' on things that people were not there lol

Quote from: RedHand88 on Today at 10:21:34 AMIt's June in 2 weeks ffs. Why was it even left this late to begin with? Derry have their 6th found of club fixtures this weekend and have played more county games than us this year!
Don't be ridiculous. The May start has been the best thing Tyrone GAA have done in the last decade. The season has ran brilliantly the last two years with the Friday games and the May start date. League played through the best months of the year. Unfortunate change for Senior clubs having to wait an extra week this year but give me the current structure and calendar over a March/April start and lengthy gaps throughout the season.

The problem is that the manual does not help solve all my situations that I have written. I have already read it but it didn't help me.

QuoteBare in mind as we've seen on here, the referee's handbook within the GAA Learning Portal has more important detail on some rules #minefield
Is there a referee manual? Maybe a casebook but where could I find it?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on May 16, 2024, 11:02:12 AMOther question:
The ball may be knocked from an opponent's
hand(s) by flicking it with the open hand
But when the ball is released or is bouncing or soccer juggling, i.e. I mean when the ball is not in contact with the hand, can it be stolen by touching it or grabbing it with both hands?

You can't wrestle the ball away from an opponent if he has it in his possession (both hands) if the ball is open/unprotected then it can be tackled/flicked punched away or taken cleanly
So if a player holds the ball with two hands or even with one hand and his chest, can the ball only be stolen with an open hand? I notice a real difficulty in stealing the ball in this game, because being able to hold the ball in your hands makes it almost impossible to steal the ball, because in football there is more precarious control, whereas in rugby the control is absolute but there is tackle.

What do you think of my other doubts?

Please could anyone explain me what do Showing the Ball and Turning Twice with the ball mean?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on Today at 08:49:44 AMWith Klopp gone I'd say that Arsenal will be City's biggest rivals for the next few seasons, hopefully they get the one at least with this generation of players
Might be even 2024 yet

Shameful is not a strong enough word.

It really annoys me our government ministers are so quick to muddy the waters on any debate involving SF by dragging the troubles and IRA into it, but completely ball-less on this from day one to this day.

 A no warning bomb, in rush hour, looking for maximum footfall on innocent civilians, outside stores that sells school uniforms and such, in our capital city. Any other country the outrage would be seismic and it would be investigated to the ends of the earth. A lot of our leaders have a nerve to call themselves Irishmen or women.

Paudi McGrogan - ACL, Season over.
Niall Loughlin got an opp this week, season over?
Eoin McEvoy out with hamstring injury.
Conor Doc out
Murphy not back on 26 yet, still injured.
Chrissy & Rogers were doubtful, but looks like they will play.
A few other rumours but nothing confirmed.

Matthew Downey, Jack Cassidy, Conleith McGuckain all left the panel in recent weeks.

After league Dan Higgins, Callum & Enda Downey, Conor McGrogan, Oisin McWIlliams & Ben McCarron were all cut off panel - before team holiday to Portugal.

2 u20's called up since their defeat. Ruairi Forbes & McDermott - Both straight onto the panel for tomorrows game.


That seems to be the lay of the land at the minute. Derry's panel getting thinner, after looking like t was bulking up earlier in the season. Another injury or 2 would seriously derail us, especially if it's to the likes of Rogers who is carrying a hamstring injury at the minute.


From the League Final panel where we were all getting optimistic about Derry's panel finally looking strong we will be missing 7 of the 26.
4 Starters - McEvoy, Doherty, McGrogan, Loughlin
3 Subs - Matthew Downey, Conleith McGuckain, Cormac Murphy.

Quote from: Mikhailov on Today at 08:20:23 AMCrazy decision by the ccc last night to delay the leagues. The poor club player is getting shafted all the time
Only division 1 or division 2 also?
Division 1.
Complaints coming in about Eglish and Donaghmore being starred fixtures despite them having no county men anymore as McGleenan, Cush and Quinn have left the panel. Killyclogher also might become an issue if some of their U20s are called up after Sunday's final.

Other than maybe with the goalkeeper situation, I really don't see the benefits of calling in any u20s at this stage of the senior season. They done the same with the 2022 winning team when they called a few up and only in pure desperation against Armagh that year, Canavan and McGleenan got a few minutes.
