Big losses for next years first round.

Devlin fairly passive throughout prior to that and thought ardboe full value for win
Be grt to see them beat by Moortown in the play off and down to intermediate

Quote from: Wee Roddy on September 29, 2023, 06:18:14 PMCarrickmore have dispensed with Archie Beattie. I'm sure he feels very let down by the players but the writing was on the wall after the Loughmacrory defeat. I'd imagine our next manager will be from within the club
Who would be the candidates for the job?

The problem is I don't think there is too many from within, like most clubs they have tried and tested alot of the potential 'managers'. Michael Gallagher seems to have good experience as a coach with youth/county teams so Im sure his name will be in the hat. Personally I feel an outside man is still required who has a proven track record, they are hard come by at the moment (especially at the right money).  Clubs are being crippled by managers & coaches charging £150/200 a night unless they have a sugar daddy covering the expenses. 

Will be an interesting winter none the less.

This is unsustainable. GAA have to do something about it
Imagine what clubs could be doing with the money being invested into managers and backroom staff

The problem with this is that I hear everybody saying this.  No one disagrees with the sentiment

BUT who is actually standing up in the clubs at the AGMs and saying this is wrong and stopping it?

Club funding should be ploughed into the youth and facilities, not mercenaries out to make a quick pound in an envelope every month.

Clubs have created this market and most senior clubs now expect or demand outside management. Something pure about your best against our best. Will be interesting to see how many outside management teams lift silverware this season.
How many clubs are actually paying these  managers. Is it not third party's connected to the club. I heard before when Porter was with Dromore the players chipped intogether although the cost now would be a lot more than 10years ago.
Imagine paying Lenny Harbinson any sort of money to play a hand passing game that Omagh played.
Gallagher a good shout there for the Carmen job

Was thinking of converting the winter bike into gravel bike. Only way it could be done cheaply would be to use a smaller wheel.  I've a 700 on at the minute so it would have to be a 650 wheel. At the minute 28 mm is the most clearance I can get away with. Anybody any experience with this

What bike are you converting? Is it. Disc/cantilever brake?

If disc shouldn't really be a problem. Just ensure you have sufficient clearance for the new 650 wheel and tyre(perhaps you could borrow?)

You will obviously need new rotors/cassette or you can swap over.the only other issue is the fact thebottom bracket and thus pedals will be closer to the ground.

If its cantilever brakes then much more complicated. May need to change the brakes. Probably not worth it
Yeah it's rim brake. The moving of the calipers could be a problem

Question for Derry supporters on here! 
Should the CB have him back?
Based on anecdotal conversation, I'd say the majority of Derry fans would have him back tomorrow.

My concern now is that the unique style of play we have been developing for 4 years is now over just as we were getting very good at it. A new manager will have new ideas and a new way of playing that the players will have to adapt to in D1. He needs to be appointed asap. If RG was still there I've no doubt plans would be well under way for the new season.
Surely the fact he's never denied is enough proof

He definitely made a story up about Enda Muldoon in the gaelic life. Following week there was a wee statement retracting the story. Can't mind now what it was but it wasn't to serious at the same time

Any recommendations for tubeless tires. Had a schwalbe pro one for 2 years. Last 6 months was leaking. Small pin holes, was never a problem just unsightly with the fluid leaking out on the wheel. Looked to be a bit of life left in it but it cracked on the side wall. I always ran GP 4000/5000 before with tubes in them.

Anyone see the crash involving the Colombian rider. After the crash the wheel starts to spin when the bike is lifted of the ground.

Is there a link to that incident?  Loads of clips on youtube showing alleged motor doping in competition. Nearly all explainable. The UCI have fairly strict checks in place, so highly unlikely at high level competition.
        Definitely has happened in past with that Belgian girl caught in Cyclocross and almost certainly used by others particularly as battery/motor technology has advanced so much in the last number of years. 
        You'd imagine that a bike switch during the race might be one area that has the biggest potential for abuse
     
seen no other mentions of it tbf including the usual sceptical twitter accounts
