 .. The ones that never attend club / county games? They've been up early sharpening the knives, salavating

I bet you are the type who virtue signals about mental health then uses terms like 'head cases'.

It is certainly not just casual fans who slander this Derry team. The most famous hater of Derry during this era is All Ireland winner Joe Brolly.

Cheers, just checked and he's got McKinless in goals now.

[Ball]

Strange not to start Patrick McGurk thought he was pretty good against Mayo.

Then stranger to hook Jody McDermott at that stage.

Also more lads not togged out than there is on the bench.

Lynch, Rogers, C Heron, C Diamond, Gilmore, O'Donnell, Murray, Clucky, R McGill, P Quigg, McAleese

Sad to see the downfall of this team. And I think the county board have no one to blame but themselves for the absolute circus the last couple of years

Derry have a multitude of issues at the moment, injuries being chief among them. But in reality the management havnt done themselves any favour with some of their decisions. The goalkeeper position has been a shambles since day one. When they thought we needed an outfield keeper they plucked a player from complete obscurity who'd never done goals before and seemed intent on sticking with him. Then when the rules changed and Lynch got injured they have plucked another keeper from the county wilderness whose already proven he isn't good enough at this level, no doubt due to his club mates influence on the management team. Surely Derry have a good kicker of a ball who is competent at the other aspects of goalkeeping. Or maybe not, maybe this is all we have. But for me, the biggest issue is how wide open we are in defence. Even with the injuries, Tally is supposed to be a very good defensive coach but all year as soon as any team inject a bit of pace into their attack we are wide open, it's galling. A very short summer ahead I would imagine.

[jb77]

Ethan Dohertys finishing between the posts has been nothing short of brutal this year

I don't know, I've asked the question (in bold above) and said maybe this is the best we have. But surely we have better than a lad who has been up before and not been good enough and who was being targeted as one of Ballinderry's few weak links by intermediate teams in last years championship. That's just my opinion, and as I said, maybe we don't have any better.
