Yes, but how far off our championship team is that. Showing the full hand very early.

But has to be done.

Think Cork and Meath positions are a bit false. Clare confounding the bookies.

Has to be done as we just don't have the panel. If Gallagher can get 20 players capable of playing inter county at a high standard he'll be doing well.

Too many so called big clubs in Derry not producing players capable of senior football and haven't this long time. Not good enough!

He already has more than 20. But ensuring that relegation is avoided is his priority, possibly part of his reasoning for not experimenting as much as others may. We believe that big club shite too much. Look at the spread of clubs represented in the game in Armagh today.

Style of senior club fball in Derry is the reason why we not producing good Forwards. Great to win a senior club championship and maybe ulster, but of no benefit to producing scoring forwards. There very few not on the panel that could benefit or expand Derry style of play. Terence o 'Brien, Ryan Bell, Liam Mcgoldrick. Kevin Johnson, the only ones come to mind but they been there before and dropped in and out of the panel over the yrs. Some have the ability but not the county standard work rate.

Take Greenlough for example. A small club yet they've produced better players than 2 of our biggest clubs - Screen and Dungiven. These clubs need to take a look at themselves IMO. Gallagher is getting that spread of players but it will take time.

Not much to be said about today. Even the scoreboard didn't work, tickets weren't available at the grounds and no one seemed to know this so mad queues outside PT. Complete shambles before a ball was kicked.

This is fast becoming a mess of unimaginable proportions. We need to do some hard searching for s replacement for Andy as he's simply not the man we hoped he'd be. I don't mind him losing the rag the odd time or not speaking to the press but he's simply not getting the performances that's required at this level. Andy can see out the year for what it's worth but the writings on the wall.

However the county board need to get their shite together quickly as today was shambolic in so many ways and not just on the field.

Screen aren't and never were a big club. Massive catchment area, but never matched that on the pitch. Harking back to a time when Dean McGlinchey Park was the hub of Derry GAA.

Dungiven haven't been a big club since the 90s. Will only be further downhill for them when the by pass is finished.

Juice. Why did lads show up without tickets? The dogs in the street know you have to pre-buy online or in Centra. Meath need to assess for sure whether Andy's bolt is shot.

Nice to have 2 wins out of 2.
Ended up closer than it should have been with Meath getting it back to 3 at one stage.
We could have conceded 3 goals early on but a good spell towards half time left us as good as home and hosed.
The lack of a scoreboard was something else and a first at a competitive County game for me anyway.
As the Meath lad said probably a sign that more than the team is shambolic in Meath.
Was in  before any problems with entry so can't comment on that.
A great Ros supporters turn out and it seemed more like a home game in the stand anyway.
We'll almost certainly avoid relegation now and sure maybe have a chance of promotion.
We don't usually  do parochial Provincialism in Connacht but great to see all 6 won their games this weekend.
Sligo's 28 points must be a record of sorts while Ros Andy's lads got a great result in Thurles.

[Maroon Manc]

Owen Gallagher impressed for Galway and thought young McGrath did too as the game went on, he's still under 20 this year.

Commentators certainly got a bit carried away with regards to Galways experience, a lot of young lads on this Galway team who've played very little football at the top level and even McDaid & John Daly who are a bit older haven't played much either.

There was only 3 starters who played in Galways last game pre covid, 8 of those who started that game aren't even on the panel. I like the look of some of the backs coming through but Galway are far too reliant for scores from play from Conroy and Walsh. Culhane will probably come good but he's still very young, he's still a teenager.

Andy started in 2016. Meath got ritually hammered under full spectrum Dublin dominance. A sorrowful mystery . The future may be different. Maybe a new manager could move Meath on. Is Boylan available ?

A lot of us do though to be fair.

Honestly think we've played the two weakest teams in the division (Down were very under strength). Much tougher tests ahead but a good start.

Definitely agree. The 2 week break has come at a good time for the squad. With Cork drawing, a victory over the Rebels would be huge
