Man Marker, my comment was a general one so why did you take the bait and reply?  Oops have I blown your cover?
PS Ballynease isn't all that local!!!

Damian, that's a very slow healing would that the Shamrocks inflicted on you last October in Celtic Park!!!

[ie the clubs]

Is Derry GAA in disarray?
I am not sure but I get a feeling this year that just too much seems disorganised, there is a lot more controversy around and that grassroots members are turning their backs on the association because of perceived corruption and general skulduggery.
Continuous reports of referees not showing up, fixtures postponed over and over, red cards rescinded etc. The CCC are almost Mafia Like.
Football continues to decline in quality and hurling is without a doubt under attack from board.
I liken the Derry GAA scene to the unfortunate economic scene in The Republic. The South lost the run of itself and have ended up forgetting about that which made it admired worldwide. The Derry Gaa have forgotten the basic values of the association and if we are not careful we could implode!

There is a definite change of emphasis at county board level. I have to say that the leadership in the new County Board this year is much better than previous in that they are much more in tune with the needs of the grass roots of the association ie the clubs. The chairman is an absolute gentleman who seems to be wholly interested in the needs of all clubs right across the county. There will only be improvement on the county scene when the needs of clubs are addressed. Remember the county is an amalgamation of all the clubs! John Keenan and his team are definitely moving in the right direction.

[Ballinderry are cheats for getting to the final and Enda is a cheat for playing.]

yous shouldn't even be in the final. coleraine are a better team and will win if the ref is fair

I am now going to predict your next post

You have a serious inferiority complex about your successful neighbours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fancy coleraine to win by two..
ballinderry dont deserve it with the way they beat lavey with the help of john joe!

Considering all your posts are anti Ballinderry I find it strange that you fancy Coleraine for Sunday.

It doesnt matter who wins the other county championships, st galls are a cert to win ulster again....

The only advantage Gall's have at this stage is that they are through to the Ulster Club Championship. It isn't that long ago (about 10 months) since you guys really fancied your chances against them and the quality of sides who still can win Ulster is much superior to your crew.

What is the story if the down championship is not complete before the cut-off for the ulster club championship?

I presume they will nominate kilcoo as holders to represent down. I heard down play winners of Derry c'ship and their final is in 2 weeks!

Thought I read somewhere that a county cannot nominate a club to take part in club provincial campaigns if their championship is not completed.

1life1club you are acting the wag!!!

I think the Trout has a notion on Mr Cowell

Lads this is one of the worst topics ever kicked off on the board. We shouldn't even give it any more airtime.
FULL TIME ON THIS ONE!!!!

Any thoughts on Derry championship

What way does your betslip look like so far? 

Coleraine
Glenullin
An Lub
Slaughtneil/Ballinderry

Dromore are missing a good few but am still shocked at the scoreline.

I did reckon that Carrickmore were hurt hugely by last years defeat to Dromore and I couldn't see Dromore repeating the dose 2 years in a row.

As you are a frequent board subscriber I have a couple of Q's for you
Do you think that Omagh will inflict similar pain on Ardboe as revenge for last year. Didn't they blame big John for being too rough!
Do you think Errigal and the Fianna will be close?

The club championship in Tyrone as past few years has been fairly open and it's the same this year.

Omagh will want to turn us over given that we beat them last year but hopefully they'll not inflict the same pain as Carrickmore did tonight on Dromore. The Carrickmore result seems almost freakish considering how successful this Dromore team have been over the past 7/8 years.

I fancy Errigal to win a close contest. Coalisland ought to have beaten Errigal a few years ago in Dungannon but for a bit of timely intervention by Pascal.

What club does Ronan O'Neill play for?
What about Dara Donelly? I thought he really turned the game around
