Fair play to Johnny McGarvey getting to the 2nd tier of hurling without possibly 10 players who could start is some going

Theres an elephant in the room that we insist on building a team around, he wore 11 today. 

He's not our leader, Doherty and Mc Guigan go missing when the pressure really goes on.
Mentally soft and easy to get at.

What a ridiculous comment, McGuigan won an Ulster final on his own

Looked at a few photos from game last night.

Says 7,000 were there in Celtic Park. What is Mc Bride Stadium normal capacity? Does it usuall be sold out?

Another thing. As soccer pitch is smaller, the goals are moved out beyond where GAA goalie kicks it from so pitch should be grand.

Saw people in the main stand - down at scoreboard end, they were actually about 20m behind the goal line. I'd be annoyed if I got a ticket for there. View must have been brutal.

Plus if soccer players were training on a cow field all year, should their touch therefore not be far better when playing on an excellent surface?

Brandywell holds 7,000 now after redevelopment last year. 18,000 at all LOI fixtures last night, unbelievable some think soccer is the biggest sport in the country

Strong team, cannot see McEvoy playing at midfield, but I also cannot see anyone from 2 to 8 who can go into the forward line to bring Glass back from centre half forward.
Does anyone know when we last won a championship match at fortress Celtic Park? (Maybe the name change will find us getting better results)

Down 2015? Although we played qualifiers in Owenbeg up until Gallagher

Gallagher certainly not holding back on McErlain

Glen probably the last team that would consistently kick ball in under Malachy, now it's just try and make Ethan do it all through the hands

Did we watch the same glen team?

There is not 4k playing Gaelic football, where u get that?

Its a few years old now but around 4k is probably close to it.

According to the GAAs demographics report last year Derry has 5,500 Youth Male players & 2,600 Adult Male players so I'd say the city figures would be well below 4k

Last I heard of Donnncha Gilmore he had injured his shoulder and had to get surgery. Another lad who has had his fair share of injuries. Agreed, he would be an asset for this panel and it would be great to have another city man on the panel.

Hopefully we will see him back. Could see him slotting with the other 7 of the 2020 AI Minor team on the panel - some return indeed.
Diamond, Downey, Higgins, McEvoy, McGurk, Murray, O'Donnell.
 

Thats a tough sell for me there, not sure where he fits personally, I think old rules protected individuals with slightly less football ability. ( Diplomatic?)

Don't see place for him in the back 6 or in the next 5 either. Going off 6 that started at weekend plus Clucky, Mc Evoy, Bradley, Mc Gurk, Mulholland.
O' Mianain another half back option I would think.

I get the importance of building a squad but has to be with right people, and also they need to be from South Derry.

Joking

Fairly harsh, better footballer than most you mentioned

Derry now in their groove. Could the win Ulster? League promotion always expected but C'ship success would not.

I think we should be very disappointed if we don't reach an Ulster final given the draw & the form of Monaghan & Cavan. Big game next week but still expect promotion regardless of result, great to have the buzz back around the county team

Did I watch the entire Sunday game and manage to miss the Tyrone Highlights/lowlights?

Louth scores on their twitter

Great to see Cork getting a big result like that would love to see them back in division 1.

For a team that has little following their social media posts get serious reaction maybe the most in the country

Have they alot of armchair supporters?

Hurling county, lot of them would want nothing to do with the big ball

I don't think theres a safegaurding issue around Gallagher at all if he's not taking womens teams. It's more to do with him being a sc**bag.

There needs to be a process in place for things like this and as much as I can't stand the man, Burns can't be going off on solo runs like that. And before that other dose replies with an essay I'm not a zionist or a conservative or whatever other bile you come out with.

You're just a person who disagrees with a safeguarding expert on safeguarding, domestic violence victims on their views on how allegations aren't taken seriously and the GAA president on how he runs the GAA.

The biggest issue you can't be arsed to address is that Burns would never have needed to act if clubs like Naas and Corduff didn't act disgracefully.

Can you point me in the direction of your posts about your former All Ireland winning manager providing a character reference for a convicted Rapist? Do you not regard that as a safeguarding issue?

Great result, should have been more but something to build on. CD & McKinless stand outs tonight, Rogers & Glass looked back to their level and Lachlan Murray showing if he stays fit he's up there with the best in Ulster

Enda Muldoon, Magherafelt

Along with Tyrone & Armagh men

Is there a senior club in Derry that has a Derry man taking them?
