That late goal killed us

In fairness, he might need the English Dictionary!

This threads had a humour bypass of late!

Whilst it was a very defensive cagey affair, the Vale Steelstown game was a good old battle. Vale never really recovered from the very slow start, 1-03 I think to no score. Forrester drove them home, an inspirational footballer.

Agreed, although it was 1-2 to no score - just saying like!   Steelstown do have a number of very young, talented forwards who will do damage if they get room - which Vale didn't give them last night, apart from the start. Steelstown have never won the championship so 2020 could be a big chance!   Castledawson have beaten them twice in finals and could be there again though I slightly fancy Greenlough for win today.

By the way, there is a new foclóir just published, Pádraig Ó Mianáin as Doire, a must buy for all clubs!!   Especially clubs who need a tickle!!

Just seen Spurs conceded late on there.

Anyway, it sounded very cagey indeed for those lads from the Steelstown club who play the Gaelic Football.

Me da said it was tight indeed. But we got over it and now have the final next weekend. I hope it doesn't clash with a Premiership game.

Looking forward to the game tonight. Fancy Slaughtneil by 7

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Steelstown should be good enough to win it this year. On paper anyhow. But championship is a different animal.

[OakLeaf]

Just heard that the Slaughtmanus under 16 manager came onto the field and struck one of the Greenlough players, and then when challenged, struck another. He should never be allowed in a GAA ground again.

[Bronco]

He sounds quite civil for a Slaughtmanus man to be fair.

[Keyser soze]

See both the senior games this weekend moved from Celtic park to Bellaghy, must be unplayable.

Aye dead on

Heh?

It's a Derry City phrase when you can see through someone's attempt at limply trying to throw mud

Aw right,  So why use it in this instance?

[oakleaflad]

Slaughtneil looked a class above yesterday. Should be a good final. Intermediate likewise. And Junior has the best 4 teams left too. Hard to beat club football.

I don't think 'dead on' is solely a Derry City phrase

On the underage coach incident, I have no idea what happened but underage coaches get far to invested in winning at all costs in our county (and probably others). It's an absolute shame to see. Some coaches, who I have no doubt are otherwise civil people, completely lose the run of themselves during underage games.

[Rawhide]

Slaughtneil looked very impressive yesterday, but I thought Ballinderry were clueless. Slaughneil had a clear attacking strategy, getting width, moving the ball quickly either by hand or short foot passes. By contrast Ballinderry was all individual stuff, no pattern to what they were trying to do, the hoofing into the square for the final 15 minutes was brutal. They are better than that and I would think there will be alot of sole searching into how poorly they looked.

I expect Slaughtneil to win against Magherafelt

Our city folk get very edgy if you don't subscribe to notions regarding the infallibility of the CP surface.

[theticklemister]

The bookies have Slaughtneil -3 and Steelstown and Greenlough at evs.

Slaughtneil will find a hell of a lot less space that they did yesterday; whilst I thought Greenlough would have started favourites.

Should be a great day of sitting in front of the television on Sunday. Looking forward to it.

[Saynotodrugs]

The magherafelt v slaughtneil final will not be a good match because it will be low scoring and defensive no free flowing football will be played! Mainly due to magherafelt being ultra defensive! Also I watched the Ballinderry v slaughtneil game and the best player Ballinderry had was also the biggest tr*mp they had from spitting + diving Mc kinless No.3! That boy needs neutered or something to calm him down,a real sc**bag!
