I agree.  I would have a vague guess that most of the players got hammered to let off a bit of steam.  It no big deal, all the sacrifices they put in people expect them to abstain from drink for 9 months of the year.  He only a young man who has and doing what most young men do, only they do it every weekend.

Go on, celebrate, get drunk and enjoy a victory.

What about the youngest of the O'Rourke brothers from Dromintee.  Seen him score a cracker when he captain your U-21 in Cross against our boys last year and he put on an exhibition in the Sigerson, outshining Vernon.  He never get a crack?

Yeah, think this thread is tough.  All these boys got to get up on Monday mornings and go to work. 

Only back in country this morning.  We won anyway.  Heard not too impressive but still in the semis.  Anyone who was at the match go through player ratings.  Missed monday supplement of the irish news.  No one kept it for me. cheers!!

A fan is prob better than paddy heaney anyway!!

Well yes it probably would be wise of him to finish it out but that his and his club decision.  But how do pople expect him to feel.  All this controversy over a case and route that people have been taking for years now.  At the end of day he is not getting paid for this, he still has to get up, go to work and try to get on with things.. Dont get me wrong, this is not your fault at all, it is a media thing but people kinda forget that it must be seriously affecting him in some ways.  not nice seeing your name always attatched to controversy.

Max just go and Piss off for a while Ever since this Bradley affair started you have been on his back.  It was you who mentioned the other day about the number of cases the DRA has previously handled.  Not one has caused so much controversy and no one else has been lambasted as much for using the system.  It is not bradley fault the county board is completely inept.


You were not talking as much when the week after the Glenullin game, B'screen and Bellaghy had a row and Mickey Convery was not running to the referee to make sure what was in Toland report that night.  It was swept under the carpet that a derry player struck a screen official.  Coming straight from Toland, 'It was that bad I could not pick one single player out'.  Convery has been instrumental in all this and has come out worse than anyone and believe his position in untenable.  How can he appoint a referee for a Glenullin game again.. He is literally stupid.

Paddy has the best scoring average in the Championship since 2001 per games played.  He got the best scoring average in the years 2004, 2005 and was second in 2006.  So dont say he does not consistently deliver un lesss you have facts.  And as regards team player, if you watch his movement off the ball then you will realise he is a team player.  It is not his fault he has not had the same class around him as players from Tyrone, Armagh or Kerry have.

Put simply, if Steve O'Neill or Colm Cooper played for Derry would they have racked up the same scores Paddy has in them few years?
Maybe I am wrong but I would doubt they would.

Paddy went on the trip to Dubai in January there and won the MVP (most valuable player) award, scoring 2-6 in the match and rubbing it in all the faces of those who ever doubted him.  Aye mean, ... Conor Mortimor there as an all star, completely absurd compared to Paddy.

He also managed to cause a bit of a rocus between certain Tyrone players.  One in particular in the full forward line where Paddy was running the show and stealing his thunder had a fall out with a blonde bomb shell in the half forward line for not passing him enough ball!!

[Bradley and Muldoon got]

Saffron Sam2 are you thick.  How is this report indicative of a cover up.  It says exactly what happened. Bradley and Muldoon got reds. There was a alleged jostle on the referee. What else do you want the paper to say.  The word alleged has to be used as part of peoper journalism because if the reporter did not see the incident and it has not yet been confirmed in the referee report, both the reporter and newspaper are left wide open for libel and slander.  A paper cannot just go around printing without hard facts.  I suggest you and slim shady go away and try to hide the passports of a few of your senior stars and you might even win a Tommy Murphy cup game if you do.

Notice you did not comment on the fact that he receives little or no protection from the referees within the county, especially ones on mini power trips.

Why would I have respect for him.....because he can post on an anonymous board.  Prob one of these people who berate Paddy when Derry get beat by a point and hail him if they win.

how would I have an all ireland when I dont play, I watch very carefully and know my stuff but.

Well seen his games often over they years and not saying whinging is justified but when you are afforded little or no protection by the referee then what is he supposed to do, and no one can say he is not hard done by with referees.  Saturday was a perfect example, he definitely got a high challenge on him and ref blamed him for diving... something he never does and it was this which caused him to rant at the referee.

Broken Crossbar, you make yourself out to be a noble man, bradley would still toast you.

Slim I suggest you go home and get your house in order.  Stay on your own turf.  What do you think you will achieve by starting a thread as you did.  Keep it within the Derry thread.  Sure according to reports half your team is heading state side anyway.  Paddy B or no Paddy B, you boys are still pathetic............................
