The physicality of both these teams at Croke is a level or two above Antrim

That first half is instantly forgettable.....and Hawkeye is drunk.....

Here's a link to 'Derry GAA - Coaching and Development Strategy 2021 - 2026'

Very interested to know what our own development strategy is? What actions are we taking to give us a chance at a competitive senior team in future?

Have you the link to Galway's ?

"And from the plains of Royal Meath
Strong men came hurrying through
While Brittania's Huns with their long range guns
Sailed in through the foggy dew"

Welcome aboard chief..

An ambitious signal of intent from county officers. A football man with huge experience and no small measure of success. Good luck Andy and well done to the individuals behind sourcing and overseeing the appointment.

Good appointment. Best of luck to him.

Wonder will he be wanting to burn all the hurls in Antrim like he did in Meath when he took over there???

Seems he got serious abuse down there....keyboard warriors were not as bad as threats of harm and other abuse received....

His last year or two seemed a bit sour but he had done quite well up to then. Meath suffered a lot from what a lot of counties suffer - a lot of their best players weren't committing. There seemed to be a significant amount of abuse with the son being in the setup too which ended up quite toxic.

All that said I think he got Meath to the "super" 8s and was he not the boy in charge of ballyboden when they won the club AI? (I think the day cushendall were in the final). I would expect him to be decent enough.

Indeed he was the man who led Ballyboden to their AI title...
