Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[JoG2]

Fairly laboured and slow 1st half, Leitrim much more economical in possession. The introduction of Paudi Tad really lifted the performance in the 2nd.
Shane McGuigan is a serious footballer (toss up with Rogers for motm) Himself and Sammy must have hit 2-10 between them. Quinn has had a great start to his 1st season with the seniors. Bar Mckaigue and Lynn, it was a very young starting 15. McEvoy got through a serious amount of work.
10 or so up we should have went for the jugular but sat off, the driving runs dried up for a 10 min spell and allowed Leitrim to bring it back to 5 I think at a stage. 6 out of 6 and the final in a couple of weeks, fair play to the players and management team.

Big crowd expected in Celtic park this weekend? If it's a good day i'm hopeful there might be 500.

Be interesting to see if Leitrim supporters  out number Derry.  Leitrim people  might be willing to travel in decent numbers for at least two hours to support their country. Will Derry people travel 30 minutes to one hour or take their so called principled stance because it's not in their backyard.  More bull shit excuses from people no doubt.

How many Leitrim supporters are you expecting?

We'll find that out this evening but they did have near to 4000 in Carrick-on-Shannon for the last game. The smallest county in Ireland will no doubt out number the great gaels of Derry in a couple of weeks time in Croke pk. The same people who will whinge about the dedication and commitment of players and others cannot get off their arses to support their county even when it is on their back door or God forbid up to an hour away.

So, how many?  "The smallest county in Ireland" - are you referring to Leitrim?

It's fairly obvious that he is referring to population as that would be relevant. Area wouldn't be.

Is it?  He might just be lacking knowledge. But sure let him clarify or are you his spokesperson?

Good summary. Once Derry got Lynn and McGuigan on the ball I felt they were in control from about 25th minute on - should have scored 2 goals before halftime. Shane was superb yesterday, intelligent player.  McAtamney always gives 100%,  points from play with both feet!!

323 people paid in to Celtic park today,8 dogs and 1 cat were Also seen running around but as they didn't pay they aren't included in the final total. Isn't it great that we have A City man involved in our County team. At last,we have something to show for all the money and effort we've spent in that area. Long may it continue. We now need to focus on getting some quality from the rest of North Derry

1 thing I did notice. I don't think there was a North Derry man named on the 26 man panel today .Surely that's strange.

No.

What's your issue with North Derry?

Is the Steelstown club in your 'north Derry'?

I heard Mooney and McGoldrick from Coleraine are back home and training again with the County .... so that's another 2 so called " North Derry" men .... With me its simple "One Club - One County"

Aye population. Use your intelligence seeing how you bring up schooling to work out that size means more than one thing.  Have you a point to make about Derrys support or are you just invloved in this childish nonsense ?

Ah ok so nothing to add then.  Louth = smallest area.  Leitrim =  smallest population. Hope that clarifies for you again.
