Derry's management merry go round has been a circus and this hard on Tally. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and ponder whether they have lined up Conleth Gilligan?

Didn't someone suggest a while back that the rule changes were tailor made for Kerry? I know that's sour grapes but I had to write it.
I've been struggling with the kickout rules for over 5 months(since Kerry scored two goals off Derry kickouts at the end of their league game). The team being scored on shouldn't be penalized the way the new rules punish them. I've seen too many games in which one team goes on a 5-10 minute scoring spree because the opponent can't get any possession.
Yes I know each ball is 50/50, however if anyone has been keeping count I bet that the team winning its kickout immediately get a scoring opportunity maybe 10% of the time, or much less. Whereas when a team loses it's kickout it seems to be under immediate threat at least 50% of the time.
Games shouldn't be won and lost just on kickouts. The FRC needs to fix this.

Physically it will probably make no difference either. If you haven't recovered after 6 days you are injured.Quote from: RedHand88 on June 23, 2025, 10:33:03 PMQuote from: SouthOfThe Bann on June 23, 2025, 10:23:48 PMQuote from: RedHand88 on June 23, 2025, 10:22:04 PMUtterly embarrassing stuff.
It's very fair they've been shafted. And I'm no Donegal fan.
How? Because They have to play 6 days after a game instead of 7? I haven't heard anyone explain why this makes a difference. Anyone saying an extra day's rest can save it. Teams will be training all week from tonight.
Why give Kerry 2 days extra rest?
The optics are not good.
They've been on a long slog and extra days rest would mean a lot mentally more than anything.
Why give Kerry 2 days extra rest?
The obvious thing to do was Armagh Kerry Dublin Tyrone double header on Saturday and both Donegal and Galway on the Sunday and it's fair for everyone.
I can totally understand Donegals grievances.
The rest of you can't see beyond county rivalries and the fact Mcguinness did a bit of giving out after the match in the Hyde.
Donegal do have a point, but they were probaly the first team back training last winter. Then went to Portugal in early December.
Paddy McBrearty as a Minor featured with Donegal seniors on the same day.

Saturday
Galway v Meath
Dublin v Tyrone
Sunday
Donegal v monaghan
Armagh v Kerry
Jimmy whinging matches will get his way, the 6 day turnaround should have to be sucked up and accepted for finishing 2nd or 3rd in the group.

I didn't hear any complaints from Galway about Down having a day less last week or Cavan only having a six day turnaround.
Similarly no complaints about the back to back weekends in the Group stages etc.
Only fair thing is luck of the draw.
Would Tyrone be entitled to complain about a 13 day turnaround when Armagh have a 14 day one?

Three Ulster teams should reach the last four and lucky Galway will find a way to fall over the line.
