how can louth have players both playing junior and senior football, can someone explain?

do ulster counties have this

lads we had a 40mile journey each way to a game yday, no ref turned up, trying to replay the game thurs nite, impossible scenario for us, midweek game travelling the guts of an hour, (alot of back road activity)

is there any rule stating minimum notification?

muldoon is a long way off, patsy may make the bench, as the man is a machine, and is always fit, but i cant see him startin at all as he wont be back with squad for another week

patsy def wont be back for the semi, will be conway n diver

impossible task

no paddy bradley, enda muldoon, sean cavanagh??

[mick mcgoldrick,]

cant be bothered reading the whole thread. what i will say is that i am proud of the way derry stood up to the challenge on sunday. yes there were nasty incidents, and some players on both sides went way over the top, but after the past 2 years against monaghan i'm glad derry stood up to the physical challenge from monaghan.

2007 we were well beaten, a late goal and 2 points put a decent look on the scoreboard. while we were outplayed and out fought by a hungier and more determined team that day, i felt last year they stepped it up a notch in terms of intimidation. ferghal doc was subjected to some very crude challenges of the the ball that day, and he did react and struck clerkin i think it was and should have walked. thats one thing that would worry me about doc, last year against monaghan and donegal he reacted, and i feel opponents will now set out to wind him up.  there were also numerous other off the ball incidents and to be honest too many of out players did not want it enough.

considering we had lockhart, mccusker, cartin, mick mcgoldrick, patsy bradley and muldoon all unavailable for sunday, and given our lack of fight in 07 and 08, i am delighted we won on sunday.

it wasnt pretty but it was effective. yes at times players over stepped the mark, but id rather players fought for the cause instead of bottling out of challenges. we played off the cuff against monaghan in 07 and 08, tried to play attacking football and it didnt work. sunday was all about the result.

i hope we can expand our game the next day against tyrone or armagh and concentrate more on the football as we are capable of better. but as long as we show the determination we did on sunday, then i reckon thats half the battle.

wots that about?

EXCELLENT ARTICLE

Whats the story with stand tickets?
What is the capacity of the stand?
Apparently Monaghan only received 500.

stand capacity is 3,000 - each derry club received 8each, that wipes about 400-500 out , derry players & mgt received about 200 between them, then u factor in club derrys stand tickets and other "personell" (ie) mccloys mates lol!!!

500 a little unfair to be honest, i thought 1,000 would have done the job!!!

are monaghan likely to bring big numbers??

thinking of purchasing a new laptop - basically will be using alot of excel and word, although will surf the net occasionally, must be wireless will not be downloading any massive files, barring the odd pdf forms or somthing to that effect.

not looking to spend a fortune, but want somthing that will last a wile an is good

any ideas?

paddy power have new york plus 18 at 11/10, surely beating someone in championship football is beyond that, any takers

derry

am 100% genuine about this, not taking the piss,

i will keep board posted in the outcome as i think the family are challenging the decision
