Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[restorepride]

Irish News report of match:

"After the interval, Coleraine gradually took control. Niall Holly and, in particular, Ruairí Mooney, drove their side on with umpteen raids forward"

Then again, what would they know?!

[You, Yew and Ewe]

Tyrone in the preliminary round. Oh dear!

[BackInTheGame]

Tyrone v Derry in preliminary round of Ulster next year. Ffs

[JoG2]

A strong McKenna and Div 4 will stand to us. We're coming for you Antrim!

[shantygael]

If it's not Tyrone , it's Donegal. Threw in at the deep end,as always.some lads will be checking the price of flights stateside  next day.

Should be a home draw for us v antrim.

[Wildweasel74]

We had a bad run with playing Donegal and Tyrone in recent years with an odd win against Down in between! I Another early summer exit I doubt

More than you obviously. You said he was playing as a stopper in the first half which was complete bollocks lad, this comment does not in any way change that.

Div 4 winners, run Tyrone to within 5 points and hit the super 8's by the skin of our teeth...all depending on Macker's squad

The biggest problem with drawing Tyrone again is trying to get players to commit this year.

I saw the GPA ran a report recently that showed inter-county players devoted on average 31 hours a week to football. Players may feel this commitment/sacrifice  is not worth division 4 football and a thumping from Tyrone come May.

Damien must have some sort of panel together at the minute as I am aware they have met a few times. I'm not sure in what context they have met but hopefully he can somehow get a decent panel of men together that are willing to commit. I am also aware there have been players that have already turned down an invite to the county panel already.

I have had that accusation before and I don't know why?

A few people on here know I am not Seanyb1, however I do follow him on twitter for his updates - a great service he runs

What would possess any footballer to play for Derry currently? Busting your balls for ten months, not training with your club, missing social events, to get knocked out in the Qualifiers by Louth or somebody. Bloody depressing.
