All of this is on Desmond and the board. Complete cowboys.

This is Covid year all over again. Same pattern from the transfer windows just before.

I hope fans boycott now the club, matches and shop etc. Give Lawell and them clowns not a penny more. Be good to write this season off if these frauds get the boot.

They blame Rogers, the GB and Celtic Fan Media...everybody but themselves.

Then we have that muppet Tisdale falling alseep at the recent home game V Hearts. He's the man who 'sourced' Nancy.

I don't apportion much blame to Nancy but today, after losing badly with his formation, should have went for 4 at the back. Just do the simple thing, play safe and go back to a simple back 4. But he didn't so he must take flak for that today.

The players also must take a large percentage of flack. They showed, not for the first time this season, no heart or bottle. Embrrassing. Seriously, how do they pick up their pay packet this week?

Fair play to Robinson and St. Mirren. They deserved it thoroughly. Won it well so congrats to them. They were agressive, work hard and hit on the break. 

Unbelievable footage from Australia of the passerby grabbing the gun off the shooter at Bondi beach. Amazing restraint then shown not to shoot the cnut

Could have ended very badly for that guy, thankfully the shooter seemed unprepared and didnt have a knife / handgun back up.

Heroic deed

Yeah, especially with him holding the gun after he took it off the shooter.


Cops could have shot him thinking, as he was holding the gun, that he was the shooter.

Soeme brainless kicking by Kilcoo in the 2nd half of extra time; delighted for Scotstown, some real ageing warriors on their team. Beggan's influence was decisive

Some team but their decision making at times is just very strange. Can remember a few occasions from the past few years. Full back kicking it away in '23 against Scotstown and Beggan comes up to kick the winner. Brannigan last year getting sent off for elbowing a player in the jaw. Had some strange shot decisions against Loughmacrory and Scotstown this year.

Maybe it's just the fact they've played so many games that you are going to get more mistakes but I'd expect a team as good as Kilcoo to be less prone to making them

I think that's pressure. These things happen when the pressure is on...no matter how many games/championships you've won.

Kilcoo have won 1 All Ireland, a pretty poor return from multiple Down championship wins.

One would argue they have massively underachieved. 2 Ulster and 1 all Ireland.

3 final losses in 4 years.

They have their all Ireland but there will be plenty of regret when they look back

What's the average age of their team?

[There is an attraction for family members who don't live in Slaughneil to take their children back to the club to play there.]

Basings my guesses off the number of active playing teams may be the wrong way to go, now thinking Slaughtneil as youd assume the whole hamlet is involved young and old?

Surely not little Slaughtneil the small village who conquered Ulster in 3 codes - couldn't be the case???

No disrespect by the way great club

Where is this village you speak of? 🫣🫣

There catchment area is so small surly couldn't be them? And they would never go outside that catchment area.😂😂.

Out of the last 3 county title winners they're the only club without an outside transfer, bitterness isn't a great look fellas. In all seriousness it is likely Steelstown, think they've a lot of numbers at underage & are hoovering up all talent in the city and possibly Bellaghy or Magherafelt

In all seriousness, can we at least attempt to stick to the truth.
Absolutely no bitterness at all here, the facts are there. There is an attraction for family members who don't live in Slaughneil to take their children back to the club to play there. Personally I don't agree with this, I think children should be afforded the opportunity to build their own bond with the area/townland that they call home not live their parent/parents bond. But each to their own. No rules are being broken.

We all know it's not this little small community portrayed by Marty on RTE but we Derry men will keep the secret on the QT.

Every club in Ireland has members who do that.

So not sure what your point is. 

Rory Beggan is a brilliant role model, stopping for everyone for photos etc, what our games are about.

100%.

Does anybody wear gumshields these days when playing?

Fermanagh now included in Fáilte Ireland's 'Hidden Heartlands' campaign.

Unionists will not be happy. 

Enjoyable match in poor conditions.. Glenullin excellent in patches in the 2nd half, serious pace.

Alan and Paddy great re commentary, but that camera work, must have the L plates on. But I watched it on the firestick so can't humble too much 😬

Is Alan a Derry man?

Paddy Sheanon always good on commentary in local Cavan matches.

Monaghan.

Scotstown?

Thought he sounded more Monaghan than Derry alright.

But there's a Derry lad that does a podcast with Mal McMullan and he doesn't have that strong Derry accent either thought it was him

That is him.

Scotstown?

Well, that's the implication. Still have to go and win the thing, and they've a really historically poor return at AI level.

They have one all Ireland from 5 attempts.

That's still hanging over them. Teams on a roll like that need to win at least 2 to cement themselves in
greatness.

Will it be a burden or spur them on?Time will tell.

You could hear the players after the Ennis game - it was clear they were hurting after last year and they spoke about how hungry they were.

They're clearly referencing 2024 as a wasted year. 

Ballyhale missed Adrian Mullan badly yesterday. Bad stroke V KK ruled him out. He would have been that extra bit of quality they would have needed yesterday.

Saying that, Martin's deserved their win. Hung in the game when it was slipping and hd Jack O'C in top form. What a great winner by Stafford with his first touch. Took it very well. He was doing well off the bench in the Leinster campaign so big credit to manager to leave him off as a starter, then on at the death - impact sub alright.

Game was nip and tuck in second half. It was a fantastic game of hurling I thought. Some great high fielding, heavy hits and some outstanding scores. Really top level stuff and very enjoyable. Could have went either way at the end.

BG will, no doubt, be favourites but that game will hve gave Martin's confidence. But it's hard to repeat it but they did it in the final after a big semi-final win. 

I think it's all underfunded by the Brits regardless. Historically and now.

The NHS is clearly broke. It's a mess and I woukdn't know where even to start to fix it. How would you even start restructure it?

Education is a mess. Schools having to close because of leaks in the roof. Other schools have mould and damp etc. in classrooms. Mobiles falling apart. Again, how and where do you start to fix that?

Housing is a big issue. Not many houses being built nowadays. House prices are crazy now. Where does that end? Another recession?

Public servants e.g. teachersand nurses etc. all looking for more pay. Where does that stop?

Prices of everything going up....from food to car insurance. When's that going to stop?

I'd stick a £20 fee on going to see a doctor. That would help to cut down on the number of 'no shows'. Trying to get an appointment these days is crazy. People decide to just go to AE and at least, after a huge wait, they'll be seen there.

When you think of the billions that has been sent to support Israel in their genocide campaign in the middle east etc., that could have been better spent on the NHS.

Would people on here be happy to pay water charges for example? Or would here be uproar?

We can't have it every way.   

Any word on what the GAA plan to do in areas where there are 'too many' people?

Are they talking about splitting the Dublin super clubs and starting another club in the likes of Portlaoise, Naas and Kilkenny City etc.?

What are there plans for the over population areas?

Anybody know?

Everybody knows what it is.  Light entertainment with a super charity fundraiser attached to it.

Great for everyone in the run up to Christmas.

Some nice gifts for people in the audience also.
