Really clear confident public speaker now, fair play! We are getting closer in the north.

Imagine getting beat by Luxembourg and drawing with Qatar in a few days. This really is the pits!
Kenny reminds me of Oran Kearney was decent manager in domestic leagues here but just not cut out for next step up.

These players don't need an excuse not to perform and compete and he's completely lost their respect & confidence. I can't see any way he gets this team competitive again, it's just time to get rid and go a different direction.

What player (or players) in the dressing room told you this?

Based on the standard of players available at the moment there's not alot Stephen Kenny can do. In the Luxembourg game last weekend only one player from both squads is playing in the Champions League and he scored the winner for Luxembourg and was unlucky not to score in the first half.

Ireland don't have anyone of his quality who can score a goal and that's a major problem. Sacking a manager won't help us score goals and it's not like Ireland were banging them in under McCarthy either.

The younger players are struggling and inexperienced and the more experienced players like Kendrick and Brady aren't standing up and showing leadership to help them

Use this campaign to blood younger players who can gain experience and hopefully can then have a shot at the Euros

They haven't won a game in 10 games under kenny and some of them are against shockingly bad international teams, it's  not a stretch to suggest players are low on confidence and beginning to think this gaffer hasn't a clue.
This idea the grass is always greener when talking about previous managers is coming back to bite people. Ireland can't play an attractive fluid style of football with players at their disposal but at least we were competitive in tough groups , qualified for major finals and were even competitive there. To go from that to this is just pathetic!
The guy is so far out of his depth.

I see online that apparently the leagues are changing again this year. League will run off as normal with 11 games. Then it will spilt in half (top 6/bottom 6) where clubs will have another 5 games to decide promotion/relegation.

Also hearing that some of these games will be starred* and without county players.

Anyone able to confirm?

Also hearing that the backdoor championship is coming back?

Where are you reading this online?

Think RTE will regret this decision, he's the only pundit I turned the volume up for. Caused a stir and was good value, life's too short for Whelans & cavanaghs of this world.

Did everyone who wanted tickets get sorted? Would like 2 if anyone knows of any going?

What game/s are on tv Saturday evening ? RTE or sky?

Greenlough looked awful last night, grateful to have enda lynn last night as limavady tore their defence to shreds.

Also shocking at to hear the about the coleraine players being bit in their match against ballinderry - sc**bag move to bite a man.

Usually two sides to every story. You'd have to wonder what Mullans fingers were doing in his mouth too?

You are joking lads ?

It looks like Gareth McKinless could be back for Derry too! Heard his suspension in the reserves was thrown out after an appeal.  Good deal for the county board. We will forget about all the kicking you do and sending offs you have and let  you play in a meaningless reserve championship final and you play for Derry next year. "Deal"

I wouldn't say a reserve county final is meaningless! No county title easy won.

Boys were rows this common and as bad before the whole videoing/social media/what's app craze came about ?

2 nights in a row???

The slaughtneil mask has well and truly slipped. They will have to learn how to take their beating!

Heard few reports today, all saying ref had a few 50/50 calls but he didn't influence the outcome of game. Was there any players involved with officials ?

Was ref hit at the end? Again

Apparently so... mental stuff what exactly does hitting the ref achieve?

What's the right story here?
Very difficult to accept defeat when you've been winning for so long.
Sneil have represented Derry well over th past few years but personally could never warm to their style of play unlike the great bellaghy/ballinderry teams. They've Missed the boat on an AI now which is disappointing.

Any links to watch this online? Crazy sky don't have the rights for a major.

Why is it crazy?

They fill a dedicated golf channel filling slots 24/7 and they haven't the rights for 1 of the 4 biggest tournaments of the year. I've flicked over and seen an hour long show on nick dougherty giving bunker tips!!
