Quote from: Rawhide on August 26, 2019, 02:36:56 PMThere are very few clubs who haven't someone in a paid role. Slaughtneil have a fellow from Tyrone training them. Maghera have a fellow from Kilcoo. Bellaghy have a fellow in. Lavey have a fellow from Tyrone. Draperstown have Baker. Magherafelt have Cush. Dungiven have Fat Mick. Banagher have men in. Other than Ballinderry I don't think many clubs are free from paying for something
Braveheart I don't think we're in a position to complain as someone could describe us as a mercenary club, with Enda McGinley taking our football seniors and Conor Gillian taking our senior Camogie.
Quote from: Peter john on August 25, 2019, 11:04:44 PMBe Careful now. He's a blue through and through. He's up there with the Cassidy brothers. He is doing it for the love of the game.
Can't understand how Paddy Downey still gets jobs,a mercenary
Quote from: Will it ever end on August 25, 2019, 06:37:10 PMGaelic football is extremely odd ATM. From being in an Intermediate final to dropping to junior football in 1 season. Kilrea dropped to the intermediate league last year and Dungiven have dropped to intermediate this year.Quote from: braveheart on August 25, 2019, 05:32:58 PM
Are Quigan relegated to junior football?
Yes - but I think will play in the intermediate championship next year.
Quote from: Red10 on August 23, 2019, 08:56:19 AMIt is a sore point for me. Celtic park is a white Elephant. Great pitch,good facilities but in the wrong end of the county. Even Owenbeg understands that now. And for that reason 90% of the senior championship games this year will be played in owenbeg.Quote from: Mario on August 22, 2019, 03:46:47 PMQuote from: braveheart on August 22, 2019, 09:51:11 AMQuote from: Gaagaagaa20 on August 22, 2019, 09:02:25 AMYes. There would have been less in Celtic park. A good junior championship game between 2 Derry city team's at Celtic park would almost get double figures paying at the gate. South derry is the heartland and always will be. Next year at senior football the only real north Derry team playing senior football will be Claudy. Coleraine will also play but really Coleraine are outsiders to both south and north derry.Quote from: theticklemister on August 21, 2019, 11:37:54 PM4500 I saw in Twitter, shows what the people of Derry think of league football when it matters
What was the attendance tonight?
It's obvious the South Derry clubs are putting a lot of effort into closing the gap after the North Derry championship clean sweep last year. The hard work of south derry gaels like yourself should be commended.
We need to lay off braveheart He's probably one of those super Gaels that sums up what the GAA is all about. Celebrating in the glory of the neighboring club and running around following them about. He might be even one of those who wanted to jump ship and join the neighbors in the true spirit of the GAA. Could even be a member of the local angry daddies group.
Quote from: Ball on August 22, 2019, 12:37:40 PMI'm only stating the obvious. Very big crowd watched slaughtneil back to their best. Glen will be disappointed and maybe Derry finest is correct in saying the 3 townie clubs will always come up short.
Duno what you're getting at Braveheart. Great crowd surely, think 4,000 might be a bit generous.
Slaughtneil though, they looked back to their best, it's hard at this stage to see who will stop them winning the championship.
Quote from: theticklemister on August 22, 2019, 10:02:44 AMAll factual,other than the Coleraine issue but they are an enigma. They don't want to be part of anywhere apart from portstewart.Quote from: braveheart on August 22, 2019, 09:51:11 AMQuote from: Gaagaagaa20 on August 22, 2019, 09:02:25 AMYes.

Quote from: tonesfirstandlast on August 04, 2019, 08:18:01 PMShock, Horror. The Swa' beat the mighty tones. The blues are coming(just not this year). No-one knows when but supposedly they're coming. Imagine us having the Audacity to beat Bellaghy. But as for Bully boy tactics I disagree. Maybe when you're talking about bully boy tactics you should talk about Declan Brown
What have you to say now Braveheart. If that's what you think will get you to the top, you will soon find out that it takes more that brute force and ignorance to win the boy with the big ears.
Bully boy tactics never won anything. You have no history and less class.
Quote from: ONEDerry on July 15, 2019, 11:35:15 AMGranted. A good response. Imo a few of this group could easily have made the transition to the senior team this year but it looks like they were held back so that they could win another Ulster u20. The amount of hamstring injuries coming out of the crazy training sessions was worrying,my own clubmen included.Quote from: braveheart on July 14, 2019, 11:10:29 PMQuote from: Derry Optimist on July 14, 2019, 09:15:55 PMSad time's. Minor level means very little. I am a huge believer that you don't need the best teams to succeed. Having the best management's in place is much more important. We,in Derry,falter at this fence
For years,despite evidence to he contrary,I have always looked upon a brighter future for all Derry football teams.As my friend "BRAVEHEART" SO ACCURATELY SAYS OUR 2019 U2O TEAM WAS TO BE OUR GREAT WHITE HOPE!!
INDEED THEIR PERFORMANCE AGAINST Mayo in last year's All Ireland semi final seemed to add substance to that opinion.Now teams which we beat at minor level,including players who performed really well against Mayo last year are trounced at u20 level this year.
Where are the great u20 players whom we were told were ready to make the step up to the Senior County team?It seems to me that the gap between Derry and Tyrone is getting wider and wider.That is not progress in my opinion.
As a consequence of being liable to be called up to the Trades Description Commission I hereby resign my Derry Optimist portfolio and apply instead for the moniker Derry Pessimist! If any one can give me any credible explanation for this pathetic turn of events I would be delighted to hear from them ad then maybe,just maybe,I will reconsider my position.Otherwise I will only be looking forward to meeting St Peter at the pearly gates!
So a management team that won Ulster last year ran Mayo close and lost in a final this year are a failure ? Some people are hard to please or have maybe some connection to a former manager who won nothing and had a good cry to the newspapers. Derry had a number of players injured for this or carrying injuries. Some doom and gloom merchants about. We do need to look at how lads our developed for senior and the injuries especially hamstrings need to be questioned in terms of what's being done. We have lost a couple of players to Australia from from our underage who definitely could have had an impact at senior and maybe in other counties the incentives would have been there to stay.
