Be better off staying at home than playing Mayo or whoever it may be, Westmeath were the better team

Michelle Gildernew gone (again) as well, no stormont seat to fall back on this time and her Westminster seat been given to someone else

Apparently Harte (who is well known for remaining mostly calm/emotionless on the sideline for his entire career) is only calm/emotionless on the sideline for Derry becuase "he doesn't give a f**k" about Derry because he's not from Derry. Fanning asked him was he not the same on the sideline for Tyrone, to which Joe bizzarely replied "I don't know what went on in the Tyrone dressing room".

Dont know how Fanning sticks him.

Must be sick of him at this stage.

Been a while since I tuned in hut only ever heard him lose it once with Joe when he said let me f**king speak for a minute...he didn't even get the minute to speak

Limavady Town itself still has a slight Unionist/Protestant majority

Would there be a case for splitting Ballinsacreen in 2? Consistently have B teams in football and hurling at underage, think they even have a D team at u14 football this year. Winning nothing of note at senior for a long time makes it less appealing I suppose

When is the last time a club split because of too many numbers? Can't have been too many examples in the last 30 years.

Split probably the wrong choice of word there but denfitly scope for a new club to take advantage of those numbers, same as Steelstown and Culmore in the town

I would love to know the rational behind this.  Unless there was a Mickey Harte style fall out there would be no appetite for another club in the parish.  From the far end of Moneyneana to the top of Sixtowns you'll get dyed-in-the-wool 'Screen men, women & children so where would this new club locate?  On the periphery of the parish you'd be eating into Glen on one side or Desertmartin on another.  There's a lot of barren land towards Banagher or Lissan on the other sides.  Maybe you mean towards Tobermore 

Regarding the numbers, it's brilliant to see.  Between football, hurling, camogie & LGFA at every age group its a logistical nightmare but would this new club offer these 4 codes or would you expect players and families to divide their loyalties between 2 clubs.

Was just a random thought from myself of where a possible new club could come from in Derry in terms of sheer numbers. I suppose in my example of Steelstown and Culmore I didn't consider the loyalty you speak of with Steelstown being a relatively new club which hasnt built up the generations yet which would have made the creation of Culmore easier and of course being townies.

In terms of retaining players I feel there's a better chance of youngsters sticking around if they're playing on an A team throughout their underage career rather than in possible C or D teams. I see it all the time in North Derry where adults playing reserve or 3rds football would go to a smaller club which is helping keep the likes of Magilligan and Drum afloat

Nothing up in Limavady or is it like Carrick?

Limavady pretty average from youth through to Senior, probably should have bigger playing numbers

Is/was there  a Lough shore championship, like the Gaeltacht championship?

Would be a great  idea , with different hosts annually. Seems a no brainer  given there seems to be so many clubs near  the Lough Neagh shoreline , and  would be great for the local economies

Because they're all mental (the derry part of the lough shore anyway)

Conor McGregors rant about Arthur Guinness being a traitor but mcgregor wore a poppy...

Harte defending his man getting sent off again any wonder the sides discipline has went to shite

We look like we're running on empty. Baker and Murray the only that looked focused in that game.

The only boys that have turned up for the championship, alot of the team have dipped massively in their personal performances from the league.

Derry Facebook ahve the comments turned off they know there is going to be a backlash against the Tyrone man 

Start of the match i would have bet the mortgage it would be armagh with a player off

Have you never seen hot head mcfaul play?

Looks like derry are now the trouble makers

Seasons over so might as well
