Concerning that we seem to defend like an under 13 team the minute Conor Glass leaves the field.

Same happened against the dubs, goals started flowing

Exactly.  Once can be a coincidence, twice is a problem.

Any of you see the Lavey tweet for the Derry u20 game. Totally unnecessary from their PRO. A simple 'wishing our players the best of luck today' would have been sufficient. Talk about stoking the fire. Nasty post all things considered.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious, in all honesty

What was it?

They named each of their players when wishing them luck, minus the Downey

The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubricated.

Any updates on club management appointments for this year?

Senior

Slaughtneil - Paul Bradley & Karl Lacey
Magherafelt - Damien Barton & Brian McGuckin
Lavey - Jude Donnelly, Seamus Downey, Johnny McGurk & Seamus Scullion
Loup - Fiontann Devlin
Coleraine - McGoldrick
Bellaghy - Damien Cassidy
Swatragh - Kevin Madden
Steelstown - Hugh McGrath
Ballinascreen - Mark McCullagh & Mickey Gallagher
Newbridge - No Manager Sorted Yet
Claudy - Not sure?


Add away / correct any misinformation

Paul Devlin at Claudy I think

Was surprised no McGuckin in most teams.  He was lethal.  McCloy is the obvious pick at 3 but I always had a soft spot for big Niall McCusker, to be honest I'd probably pick him.  Rogers isn't far off himself though.


Barry Gillis

Kevin McGuckin - Niall McCusker - Sean Marty

Paul McFlynn - McKaigue - Sean Leo

Fergal Doherty - Patsy Bradley

Ciaran McFaul - Mark Lynch - Skinner

Enda Muldoon - Shane McGuigan - Paddy Bradley



We've had some left footer full forwards over the years.

If you think Derry have been training whilst Tyrone have not, I have a marshmallow dildo I can sell you

Not having been able to attend either of Derry's two opening National Football League games, I must say that to describe the Leitrim result as a total disappointment would be the understatement of the year.However, would I be right in saying that there was a vast improvement in yesterday's encounter against Down and but for careless shooting and wrong decision making in front of goal that they could have actually won the game.

At least that is the impression I gleaned from reporters, Michael Wilson and Michael McMullan, who are both normally fairly accurate in their overall assessment of games.

Perhaps some of our fellow posters who were at the game yesterday could give an analysis of the team's general performance and a pen picture of each player's contribution.

Does any one know if Niall Loughlin and Niall Holly will soon be match fit as their inclusion would certainly be a great boost as would the inclusion of long term injured players such as Paul McNeill,Karl McKaigue, Jack Doherty,Michael McEvoy,Jason Rocks and Enda Lynn?

Yes, I agree totally with Mal and Michael. Far better performance, we really should have won but for some bad shooting and some bad choice of shots.  The Down black card should have been the end of it but we managed the last 10 mins badly.

Far more optimistic than I was a week ago though.

What is the story with Jack Doherty's injury? Saw him in the stands at both games. Didn't realise it was a long term thing.

Thought we played alright for most of that but our shot selection was poor in the second half.

Their black card should have been our cue to hammer a few nails in the coffin but we went into our shells.

Holly & Mooney are injured. Colm mcgoldrick isn't on the panel. Kearney on holiday.
McWilliams or Jack Doherty not country footballers IMO. Not going to make any difference to that team.
A lot of players in Derry are very overrated within Derry in my opinion, fellas mention names on here regularly that will really not make a difference to a county team.
Too many average players on the team, genuinely knew Derry were in bother when I seen the line up. I sound like mr negative here but it's the truth. Expected to see Niall Loughlin & Shane Mcguigan. When I seen neither  were on I knew we'd struggle for scores.

Jack Doherty not a county footballer?!

Is the county in question Dublin or Derry?

Glen have had cakes made with "Glen County Champions 2019"

Arrogant bunch alright

Hope it doesn't come back to bite them...

You're assuming it wasn't done by a Magherafelt man 

RG wouldn't have been my choice but he's there now and to be honest I think he's a pretty good manager. As long as we don't play the absolute dirge he had Fermanagh playing at times we might do ok.

He should at least shore up the defence. I'd be happy enough to play a wee bit more defensively if it means that bang-average forwards no longer have a direct route to our goal whenever they feel like it.

Nice clip of the Glenullin v Newbridge game doing the rounds. Dirty low blow from behind a man. Real manly stuff. No doubt the fault will be with whoever took the footage for some people.

Punching a man in the back of the head is a dirty action, but it's the way he was primed and ready to run away as soon as he connected that really got me.

Cowardice.

Surprised, to be honest
