photos are great, but the content of the reports are terrible compared to Cahir and Conan. Mal's style of writing is brutal.

I dont buy it anymore

Would agree that the reports aren't as good or extensive as previous years.

your some person to talk you would rather complain about RTE or SKY (JoG2)

Are Ballinderry the only club to put up prices to club league games?

No slaughtneil did the same went to watch slaugtneil an ballinderry and was charged £5 every other club was charging £3

that's a funny thing, I was just commenting on that to a friend of mines recently about when was the last time there was an increase into club league games. It is £3 for as long as I can recall. £5 is fair enough rate to charge in my view.

watched slaughtneill and bellaghy yesterday an it was £3. another comment is how Eoghan Brown isnt on the county panel is beyond me took both brendan rodgers and karl mckuaigee to the cleaners for the 30 mins of football he was on the field for. also thought for the short spells peter cassidy played showed he could compete in county as chrissy mckuaige could do nothing but hold him of the ball and foul him on it.

young shane mcguigan had a great game also and young pouley ran riot up an down the field.
Was wondering about Eoghan Browne myself. Was at Bellaghy v Kilrea the other week and he was very good.

Cassidy looks good but maybe not county level yet.

cassidy looked like coutny standard when he wanted the ball but spent a lot of time hiding also if he played for a full game he wouldnt be far away i recon thats going from yesterdays game were he took chrissy mckuaige out of his comfort zone.

A seriously valuable points yesterday to get us kick started. I was depressed for a while but yesterday gave me hope. Did any of you see the Irish Star and Fergal P McCusker's views on Derry.

Its a bad sign when you pay a manager £20,000 and call it a good day when you scrape past a very poor Kilrea team by 2 points and then struggle with a very poor Claudy side. i wonder will it be another good Monday with two points this week?

Slaughtneil have made a very good appointment in Terence McWilliams. The best coach I have come across, he is away ahead of his time and you have to give credit to the Slaughtneil club for the way they managed. If baker had got the job there was going to be a bloodbath in the club.
I could listen to Terence talking football all night.

The only problem is would he even listen to you?

Bright evenings, spring in the air, under 16 team at pitch looking forward to a match, the other club couldn't fulfill the fixture.  Why?  Because they had to go to Mass! All is not as healthy in club football as some in Derry would have you believe.
Good grief.

VALID enough rerason in my opinion maybe they should have given better notice but people are entitled to follow their beliefs
Do you think they were at Mass?!  Still believe in fairies?  5 different clubs, at the start of the club season conceded matches in the last 10 days.  Not rearranged, conceded. When clubs are honest, especially with themselves, then the inflated county expectations will be more realistic.

didnt say the players what if the managers were at mass end of the day it was an u16 freindly

Lads don't feed the troll he hasn't a clue . . . wouldn't surprise me if it was another tfal account!!
just stating my opionin when ive seen him in club he is exectioal just feel he is out of his depth in county along with the two screen men in the seniors young araon bradley deserves his place on the panel before young mcwilliams who was previously droped at the start of the year along with a few other players . but mcerlain hadnt the balls to stick to his guns when the sponsor / main that pays him his wages told him to take the older players back and that is coming from within the derry camp.
You are entitled to your opinion but that doesn't mean you are right.  I have seen all of Derry's matches in 2018 and Bradley has been one of the team's top performers. To say he is not county standard depends on your standards. To try and say he is not current Derry County standard would require a visit to Specsavers ..... immediately!

i thought you ballinderry men whould have been watching tyrone all year
