PB told Paddy Crozier he wanted to get away from it all for a few weeks, let the team prepare for the Antrim match without the shadow of his suspension, the hype of his unavailibility and then the rumours of his appeal to the DRA affect the squads preparation. I think it was a good enough call.
As far as Im aware he wasnt at all convinced that the DRA would find in favour of him, not because of the case, but because he and G O Kane were so confident that the Ulster appeal would work , they were dumfounded when it didnt.

As far as attitude and desire goes, you dont know PB very much if you think he hasnt either of these. I would go as far as toi say Iv never seen a more focused person who trains hard, works lots on his own and always aims to prove critics wrong

Realtalk, do you anything surrounding the situation as to why Paddy Bradley hasnt been training.
To say it is to do with poor attitude is rediculous.

Reading in the Star today he says that he didnt train as he wasnt going to be properly focused with the ban hanging over his head, and this was going to do no good for the rest of the players. I think thats a fair enough point.

I also know that being from his own club he has trained away continousally and always had the intention of going back to Derry. In fact, no one in the club knew until Sun night he was going to the DRA as he wanted to keep everything quiet and didnt want media attention surrounding it

That doesnt seem to merit a label of poor attitude

I enjoy you RMA, bringing a mans personal life onto a discussion board.
I would be very intrigued to know where you got the information at however, cause from knowing the man personally, i must say I dont think iv ever heard as much shite.

A Latton v Glenullin Final on the cards 

The story round our part was tht Carmen kicked the pure shite out of Slaughtneil and it wasnt a game of football at all. Glenullin play them next Monday night I think under lights in Carrickmore.What is their field, lights like

We play Carrickmore in the Ulster League semi final next week some time.What sort of side are they likrly to have out at this time of the year and who are the men we would need to watch the most.Who is likely to be marking Paddy and Eoin Bradley?Who is over them etc

Over rated - Derrys defence.Supposedly very good with players such as K Mc Cloy, K Mc Guckain, SM Lockhart etc.
                 They have been brutal and it is now a weak point of the team

Under rated - F Doherty.A class midfielder to match any of the best in Ireland

My club Glenullin in Derry have entered. Rumours around the parish say we have drawn Buncrana, Gortin in Tyrone and Maghery in Armagh as well as another Fermanagh team.Will not know for definite until i talk to someone after senior training tonight,

Anybody heard the groupings so far for the League.

1. Our club to win the Senior Cship for the 1st time in over 20years
2. Derry to win the Ulster Championship
3. Paddy Bradley to get his long overdue All star.

Derry players on tyrone team

Kevin Mc Guckain
SM Lockhart
Niall Mc Cusker if fit
F Doherty
Eoin Bradley
Enda Muldoon
Paddy Bradley

There is also question marks over Tyrones strenght in depth after last season.Only O Neill, Dooher, Cavanagh, D Harte, Gormley, Mc Guigan and Mc Menamin are of any worth

did anyone see the pics of the glenullin gym on the derry web page
