You need to stop listening to that DUP love-in on the Big Stevie Nolan show.

I see loads of Derry lads have opted out of county football again. A bit of a joke at this stage.

If Derry had the likes of McBride, McKinless, Holly, SL McGoldrick, Heavron, Loughlin, Bell etc available to them then they are more than capable of giving Ulster a good rattle.

Why are they opting out?

[GetOverTheBar]

Derry is a complex county. Club scene there is war. Inability to put that aside at county level. String of managers that players probably didn't want/rate, internal fall outs between clubs/players/managers.

I genuinely don't know what man though could come in and steady that ship - serious talent in Derry, if they could unearth their Jim McGuinness there could be an All Ireland there but as you say, the opt outs kill any optimism.

Been to a few Derry Championship games in my time, always great occasions - but maybe the Derry posters could tell you more about their county than me.

The GAA bankrolling Dublin has killed the county game. That's why players aren't committing.

totally agree Bennycake,
the super 8s will only kill the game more

Yup. 3 big defeats instead of 1, will be even more demoralising for the likes of a Fermanagh, Louth or Wexford. Or indeed many counties above their level.

Tyrone tanked us this year, but you can put things down to tiredness, injury, an off day etc. But had we got stuffed by Dublin and Kerry also in a super 8, you're left thinking "what is the point of this?"

Shea Heffron withdraws from Armagh. At this stage we will be lucky to get a team

[the goal was on]

Fermanagh have completed over 50 training sessions already!. Could be a good bet to topple the tyrone dominance.

[Itchy]

Very low key this year. Hardly a peep from anyone.

Heard a couple of teams trained xmas day one wears green the other orange

[Targetman]

Not near wise!!

Cavan players doing 18km runs. Talk about a throwback to the old school.
