Derry Senior Championship Thread 2024

[screenexile]

Teams are gonna love it if Shane is playing the majority of the game behind the 45!!

Thought we battled well against a well fancied Sneil side. Same old story though we kicked too many wides up front and needed a bit more of a plan when we had the ball.

Jerome McGuigan probably the standout player and Rogers showed well at times but they won't be feared in the Semi final after that performance. They're through though and that's all that mattered today!

I was very impressed with Marty Bradley SE, it would be good to see him get more minutes in a Derry Jersey next year

Yeah I think he's a ready made replacement for Chrissy and a strong ball carrier hopefully whoever comes in gives him some game time!

Ballinderry by 5

Why would RTE want to show Magherafelt and Newbridge if Glen V slaughtneil was an option?

[quit yo jibbajabba]

They show the Sat match Brendan, Derry board wanted to keep the bigger match for themselves to stream I believe, so put it on the Sunday

[Derry Man]

Think we could see the first penalties of the Derry championship, 2 tough games to call

This game is on rte 2 directly after the Leinster v Munster sellout in Croke park.

In the circumstances I'd question the county board's judgement in choosing this game to put in that slot (I'd question rte's judgement on this too).
At least with glen v slaughtneil you'd have 2 teams with a nationwide profile, as is, I think we're setting ourselves up for some unfair comparisons.
Let's hope it's a cracker!

I wonder how much Derry County Board, or any county board, get from showing one of these games on RTÉ on a Saturdy evening?

I presume the rugby game before get more as it's higher profile? And does it go to the IRFU?

Won't be many watching by full time if it ends up like last years Semi final between the 2 teams

I might be done after 15 mins. Dire stuff altogether.

[Brendan]

Marty struggling big time to make this sound entertaining, didnt they know what they were getting into?

[Wildweasel74]

There no forwards in the county, that's a hard watch after 20mins!

[RedHand88]

This is questionably the worst 20minutes of gaelic football I've ever watched. Gilligan sounds mortified. Rule changes can't come quick enough.
