Yes, let's see how he goes at AFL first.

Not criticising the young fella in anyway but don't they usually go for taller players? He makes up for that in plenty of other ways of course

Wouldn't say major shock tbh
Mfelt and Sneil both be classed as main challengers to Glen so maybe now mfelt have taken that role. Time will tell

Glen started well according to Twitter but Lavey pushed them. Still no Glass and Ethan I see.

Ethan came on late when things were looking ropey, got a point and won an important free

[Mfelt beating Slaughtneil seemed to be the only major shock?]

Very little chat on here on the group games. Thoughts?
Didn't get to any of them today but Mfelt beating Slaughtneil seemed to be the only major shock?
Good win for the city men v Kilrea.

Does that qualify as a shock? Lavey gave Glen a good rattle especially with a man sent off within 10 minutes in a completely senseless action. Hard to read much into these group games when so many teams will go through regardless

What's the best alternative now for a cheapskate like myself who won't pay for these sort of things I'd rather just have the adverts, but a tenner is quite steep for what they offer

Meenagh gone.

Source?

If you know any Derry players ask them.

Conor Glass posted the dancing Pallbearers on Instagram around the time you posted that which had me suspicious but still haven't seen it anywhere reputable

No activity on any thread the last few days except the "slag the ref" one so there's you're answer what to do over the winter

Did you look on the club threads?

True the Derry thread has been more active than ever since I joined these boards!

[call their lack of commitment]

As I thought you haven't a clue. I am well entitled to call their lack of commitment to Derry out. What they have done for their club has has brought zero benefit to the county. They don't want to commit to the county, grand, but lets not applaud them for it. I was able to accept and understand prior to the split season as they went to a number of All Ireland finals in a row. Perfectly understandable. But thats over and with the split season their is simply no excuse for the number that don't make themselves available. Its not an accident. Aoife Ó Caiside apart, who is an outstanding example to any up coming player in any sport, who I admire. She has been a shining light, legend in Derry Camogie.

If the derry camogie board are anything like the men's board has been to its players in the not too distant past why would they bother?

Anyone see any of these World Games? Some crowd at the opening. Great to see.

Won't be watching it, as the parade was in Derry City.

The parade, instead of coming through the gates of the walled city, should be coming the gates of some farm in south Derry, as these where are the true Gaels of Derry are.

We're gonna build a wall around the Glenshabe to keep the North Derry folk out and you know who's gonna pay for it? Dungiven, Dungiven are gonna pay for the wall

Any decent book on the North,  1920 to 1950?

Not in the free state, they'd rather cover up that particular period

Too many boys in North Derry too fond of the drink and soccer to put in the commitment required for the clubs to really push on

You could say that about any town or village in Ireland. Lazy stereotype

Is there many lads in Slaughtneil or Glen going on the piss the night before a championship match? Happens regularly in my own club and surrounding ones

How do you pick 3 full forwards so many outstanding ones this year, but given the usual understanding that all stars only come from the final 4 the likes of Canavan and a few of the Mayo lads who had good years, leaves McGuigan, Costello, Basquel, Callaghan, Clifford, McManus

Not content with attacking firefighters now it's paramedics as well, can't even claim it was an isolated incident
