I don't think the 50m penalty was there, thats more accurately what I think is a ballox

The 4m protection on the player who catches a kickout is some bollox of a rule.
And I agree completely on the tackle. One ref thinks the game is basketball, the other lets contact occur.
You only have to look at Sundays Connacht final. Watch the tackles the refs punished in the first 15 minutes of the game compared to what he permitted as tackles the last ten minutes, a contradiction in one game. 

I seen a photo of a player from Newbridge whose hand was damaged apparently via a stud at the weekends game, was told who it was but don't want to report anything unless its true. I mean, I have never seen anything like in all the years involved in sport. I am hoping its not true

Tyrone kicked the ball into their forwards at every opportunity. We tried to run it every time. Our management haven't evolved under the new rules unfortunately for that group of players.

In a nut shell.

Armagh 0-13 v 2-24 Derry
30 points a 17 point win, why at this stage are there complaints about the squad selection?

You'd almost think they'd been hammered in the first game reading some of the comments here. Embarrassing stuff. Are some of us just never happy? 

My comments weren't in regards to the team or performance. Delighted to see progress. We have a lad playing mf, delighted for him, good player with a good future. Doesn't mean we can't comment that a few others have been treated poorly.

Derry were bt after extra time in the Ulster final against Tyrone last season, truth is they had the win and blew it. Tyrone went on to win the All Ireland. Your trying to tell me 3/4 players who played in that final aren't good enough to get on this yrs panel next mind play and btw they are a year older therefore better players than last season. I thinks its insulting to them.

I listened to a podcast where Horse Devlin a while back, can't recall the name of the podcast, took responsibility for the keeper fiasco in the Donegal game. He said he was forceful in persuading Harte to go with it. The Chamber one is a real puzzle as my lad is pal with a few Bellaghy cubs from school and he is not injured & playing with Bellaghy.

Shea Downey left because he wasn't being given a look in. Baffling when you see a few of the players being used with no size nor power.

Are you serious. Outfield keepers will be crucial now. Imagine 12 v 11 inside the 65. 4 or 5 attacking players going inside the 20m line to leave a 6v5 or 5v4 in a sweat box from the 65m to 20m line to set up two pointers. This will be the biggest innovation and teams whose keepers bring that extra value.

New Derry Home geansaí...



not sure would like to see it up close.

any wonder we had such a pathetic championship and subsequent fall out after wearing this crap.

[I'd align leagues with championship again]

Muff a Division 2 League team in Donegal?

Muff along with Craigbane both Div2 in their respective counties.
Ballinderry & Arva both Div1 in theirs. But it doesn't really matter, apparently.

Most seem to be cooking the books, Derry no different the last couple of years.. Think we're due to go back to the norm from next year.

I think Derry are making a mistake next season. Too few clubs in junior.

I'm not sure what they will end up with tbh. I'd be all on for in creasing the junior league with 3 or 4 more teams rather than increasing the number of junior championship teams with intermediate league teams

I think we're along the same lines. I'd align leagues with championship again but have a third of teams in each division.

That would render the leagues completely a waste of time. At least currently there is a little bit of compo in it as the bottom team can get relegated to D2. Imagine no relegation at all in the league ffs.

This game for CE was lost on two v specific stages, 1. missing the gl sitter 2. the sending off, never a second yellow especially when you benchmark it against very similar tackles where the yellow was not produced, ref definitely influenced by the EC players who TK had upset in some way prior to that tackle.
R Canavan was excellent on the day. The difference, but i think CE with the full compliment would have won. This is how refs serious effect results. Not suggestion it was deliberate, but the lack of consistency would sicken ye.

Rory Gallagher to manage Slaughtneil?

Surely not, a club who have invested serious development into their camogie teams, who have promoted the values of club, family & community in every interview they ever did about their club. Naw surely not
