Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[call it as i see it]

Lads don't feed the troll he hasn't a clue . . . wouldn't surprise me if it was another tfal account!!

just stating my opionin when ive seen him in club he is exectioal just feel he is out of his depth in county along with the two screen men in the seniors young araon bradley deserves his place on the panel before young mcwilliams who was previously droped at the start of the year along with a few other players . but mcerlain hadnt the balls to stick to his guns when the sponsor / main that pays him his wages told him to take the older players back and that is coming from within the derry camp.

Doire Trasna - intermediate. (moving to a new pitch in the Waterside in the next year or 2)
Doire Colmcille - junior. going rightly by the looks of it ie finally winning matches! Have moved into a new ground
Sean Dolans - junior, stagnated a bit at senior, new pitch and clubhouse
Steelstown - intermediate. huge numbers
Ardmore - junior, struggling due to low numbers and the age profile of many of their current seniors
Culmore - outskirts of the city. Huge catchment area. Have u8 and u10 teams and have decent numbers. Have participated in their firdt Go games in the last number of weeks.

Glack and Slaughtmanus? Jesus Screen!

[BackInTheGame]

With the Slaughtneil  central defenders back and Management urgently  addressing our current desperate defensive deficiences hopefully Derry will put in at least a good competitive performance in the first round of the Ulster championship.My team for that encounter would be as follows.

                                                                Ben McKinless
Kevin Johnston                                       Brendan Rogers                              Karl McKaigue
Liam McGoldrick                                      Chris McKaigue                               Michael Bateson                 
                                         Conor McAtamney                 Padraig Cassidy
Benny Heron                                           Emmett Bradley                             Enda Lynn
Niall  Toner                                              Mark Lynch                                    Shane McGuigan

Substitutes:  Oran Hartin,Carlus McWilliams,,Michael McEvoy.Terence O'Brien,James Kielt,Jack
                      Doherty,Ruairi Mooney,Peter Hagan,Conor McCluskey,Padraig McGrogan and Conor
                      Doherty.
                     
                      P.S.  In an ideal world no U20 players should be included in the Senior championship
                              panel.However unless management have a change of heart and recall or select
                              at least five or six of our top experienced players who are not currently on the
                               panel there is no other choice but to include them as substitutes.

Derry optimist firstly mark lynch ful lforward the man couldnt run out of your way never mind run to a ball
emmett bradley is not county standard to slow for it
again benny heron great club man not county standard
carlus mcWilliams would he even be there if hes father wasnt paying big money into the county?










                             

Emmett Bradley not County standard? Too slow? Every time he runs towards goal he either scores or gets fouled. He's easily county standard.

DerryOptimist's idea of Cassidy midfield and Bradley in half forward is exactly what I would do, and that's a good triumvirate there - add Chrissy at CHB and the middle diamond is strong.

well seen you are a glen man emmet bradley great club player but not county standard when have you seen him get the ball in a county match and drive at a defence and open them up? maybe he will be fit to do it in divison 3 against offaly. and also did he even touch the ball against slaughtneil in the semi final?
But another great question to ask is have you ever seen him make a tackle lol

He gave mckaigue plenty of bother in that semi final. If the ref has applied the rules mckaigue could've been black carded twice when Bradley ran at him. Were u even at that game? Bradley has been one of the few plus points for Derry in this league campaign.

You are absolutely correct - Chrissy made 6 fouls before he got a yellow card, and a couple of them (pulling Bradley to the ground when he ran at him) were possible black card offences.

Anyway, call it as i see it, "when is the last time you saw him in a county match run at a defence and open them up" - if that is a serious question and you would like a serious answer, refer to the recent game against Wexford. His goal was a simple punch in but it was his driving run and the 1-2 with Lynch that opened the chance up, and in the same game, throw in at very start of second half, he won the ball, charged down the field and popped it over the bar from 35m. Easy as pie. Him and big McAtamney easily two of our best players in that league campaign, and as I said before, with Cassidy in and around the middle there too, there are at least 10 other positions to be worrying about before wanting any of those 3 lads dropped.

Sorry Glack isn't a place I've ever been to just thought it was in that general direction but clearly not!

Surely Slaughtmanus counts as a city Club though it's only just outside?!!

well ill agree about chrissy as i dont rate him as a sucessful defender as well as a lot of other slaghtneil men.

yes i wasnt at the wexford game and he may have played well but would you rate wexford in the top 12 teams in ireland?  being realistic here derry played in division3 in the league this year the compatition wasnt that great so he should have stared in a few games in acordance with you. but he is still not a county standard player in my opinion as i said before you might think hes the best player in the world but that is your opinion

You can only play against what's put in front of you.

We'll leave it at that.

just stating my opionin when ive seen him in club he is exectioal just feel he is out of his depth in county along with the two screen men in the seniors young araon bradley deserves his place on the panel before young mcwilliams who was previously droped at the start of the year along with a few other players . but mcerlain hadnt the balls to stick to his guns when the sponsor / main that pays him his wages told him to take the older players back and that is coming from within the derry camp.

You might want to rethink that statement or check with some of your inside men

[call it as i see it]

i suppose your going to claim he doesnt get paid ?

[theticklemister]

How many clubs in Derry city?

Must be 6/7 maybe?

Doire Trasna
Doire Colmcille (Are they still going?)
Sean Dolans
Steelstown
Slaughtmanus
Ardmore
Glack
Na Magha (Hurling)

That's very sad

[Ball]

One of the main factors for me in us ending up in Div 4 is the amount of players that have been used over the last 5/6 seasons. Each of the last 3 managers have done a clear out and went for youth. Should the current management and county board not have been looking to get experienced men back on board that were out of favour or had left previous panels?

Should Keenan and McFaul not have been kept on to help keep us in Div 3, as if they are around next year it would be more benefit to them to be playing Div 3 than 4.

Should the boys just out of Minor not been kept with the U-20's to keep their progression going and until some have caught up physically.

Those are all obvious mistakes made by the current management. Hopefully they will learn from it next year.
