Why can't Glen persuade one of the Cliffords to move to Derry?

Good idea. Plenty of turf cutting opportunities around Glen

Glass could give him a job in the cafe

is derry competitive  would it be no certainty glen win derry next year again.

Nobody in Derry will get near them for a while if they play to their potential

Won't be a cow milked in Stillorgan tonight.

Few of the Crokes men be getting milked though

Heartbroken for them already, the chances they'd have put away 9/10

Weird to see Derry men willing to shoot, just a pity mcGuigan doesn't have his shooting boots on tonight

What are the chances McFaul comes back to Derry this year?

Any of the Glen forwards come in and do a job for Derry?

Jaysus. Imagine marking someone wearing an ankle monitor lol

Is there no one with contacts could get him smuggled home on a container ship🤣

I'm sure the boys down the road in Bellaghy could help but would would they give Glen any more advantages over them 👀

and of course nothing will be made of the Fossa players going around calling all our players 'Prods', Brit's and the usual anti-North rhetoric.

There's a definite trend with these alleged verbals and Tyrone teams. Don't recall it happening any Derry club sides.

Reports of it from Banaghers hurling semi final last year, against a Kerry club, and experienced it myself from Donegal fans at the ulster final

I used to vote Sinn Fein to she came on board, she not even a real shinner, blow in from another party. Don't know what Adams was thinking when he decided on her. On relation to NI, if Michelle O'Neill can't dealt with it, there no point her been first minster. Again lifted way beyond others more capable, cause of who her party buddies were.

So many have the same feeling towards the new leadership including myself but unfortunately the way politics are going here their inadequacies are covered up by the actions of the DUP and FFG so people have no choice but to pile in behind them

Bitta oul riotin at her i see

Anyone see the video of the young boys fightin at end of the Glenullin Galbally match?! V funny. Karate kicks galore 😃😂

Fair play to the young fella from Glen holding his own till back up arrived 🤣, just wait till Gregory Campbell jumps on that footage though another stick to beat his GAA constituents with

Why does anyone  care about someone wearing a poppy? Definitely more things to worry about, but I suppose it's November and the outrage is real!!

MR2s usual "why does anyone care" or other dirivative after going in to said thread lol. Your like the old Boy at the bar listening to some debate at another table, "you have little to bother yous", only you go on to a discussion forum to do it lol. I find it truly bizarre behaviour , its not like the things poster's discuss here consume their daily lives and thoughts ffs. Well maybe the football threads.....

I've discussed my views on this numerous times but the same people are shocked/disgusted every year at people wearing a poppy

The outrage is ott but that's just my opinion on a discussion board, I'm free to talk about that?

I feel the same when it comes to the 11th night bonfires, politicians pretending its a shock and they're so hurt by their posters being displayed, they actively go out of their way to find one so they can depress their outrage. Yes it shouldn't happen but it is never going to change let's face it

Is Strabane a soccer town ?

Of the four main towns in Tyrone, Strabane would likely be regarded by most in the county as definitely being more strongly influenced by soccer than Gaelic games.

Over 13,000 people (2011), over 90% Nationalist/Catholic background, 55% with Irish identity only.
Tyrone Co Board needs to up their game there I would think.
Westport was pretty soccer orientated but has been turned around to become Mayowestros SF Champions.

Would Newry be vastly different. Should Down GAA not be concentrating efforts there. Derry city would've been mentioned similarly

Newry is a bit of a mess. At least one of their clubs should be competing at senior level given the population.

Half of Newry is in Armagh geographically  don't forget . Newry city itself would be dominated by soccer, pints and cocaine these days mostly so doesn't leave much time for the GAA. Bosco and Shamrocks would traditionally have fairly good underage teams but the stereotypical town problem of not being able to get them through to senior level applies

Shur everyone has the cocaine problem these days and the pints have always been there

It will be a female so mentioning anyone that is a man is a waste of time

That can be easily solved in 2022, all he will have to do is say he identifies as a woman

Castlerahan intermediate champions and Drumlane Junior champions in Cavan.

Were Castlerahan not SFC winners a few years ago? 

Did SFC 2 in row in 2018 and 2019. How on earth are they playing Intermediate lol?

hi look at the hurling. Donegal repeatedly putting their senior champs into ulster junior-jokers

Is there not a rule that if you win Ulster outright at Junior or Intermediate that you can't play in that same competition for 5 years?

. Its 2 or 3 years now

Donegal are above Tyrone and Armagh and Fermanagh now intercounty and should not have their senior champs in ulster junior, other counties as listed dont do that.

And it stops another team from your county getting a dig at ulster

The Derry set up in hurling isnt all that fair either, once it get to Ulster, explain that set up?

If knocked out of senior (in the same year) you drop down to intermediate? So If Rossa (in Antrim)  get knocked out of Senior they can (play) intermediate?

There tends to be a good mix of Intermediate winners in Derry anyway, this year quite a few would fancy Coleraine to win it who are traditionally a don't bother fielding in hurling/junior club

Why not draw the league gradings out of a hat "and first up in Senior we have...Ardmore!"

In Derry starting to see a trend where the stronger of the 2 amalgamated clubs is emerging far better at senior
