I'd respectfully disagree - genuinely think our guys would stand on their own against anything outside the top 4 ... only time will tell!

Just glancing back on the full & half back lines - if the lads all commit you couldn't see many stronger back 6's certainly outside of the Top 4 in Dublin / Kerry / Tyrone / Mayo - should give us a really strong foundation to build on, then again it's the hope that kills you isn't it!

With rumours abounding that Rory Gallagher has a 45 man squad selected without MFelt players - I'd thought I'd pop down some names of those (if made available) for selection would make my panel - obviously I've missed some & taken some out of last years pane but Id like to think there's more than enough below to turn the tide for Derry again ...

Agreed at that figure it's massive! If there were two other convoys that got through you'd expect the net to close in on all involved quite quickly with the level of CCTV around ports.

I'd imagine it's a very small fraction of that figure Seofoid - No way he'd have been clearing £200k for that run...

Does anyone else find it strange that a 25 year old has been able to buy such a property as a gate house to a castle or is that a media exaggeration??? Plus goin by his Facebook posts his lorry was one of a kind and must have been a tasty fee. I'm all for hard working lads but when I was 25 I was borrowing my sister's car and only had money for the breakfast roll on a Monday morning.

I always had suspicions about some lorry fellas that got very big down our way recently..... I wonder is it only tip of the ice berg and if it is I hope they all taken down cause this lad is only one who got caught in this awful game.

The property values up at £160k - it wouldn't be unrealistic for a young couple to purchase something along those lines - the media would certainly be making more of it that reality.

Money laundering an interesting addition to the charges - would wonder if there was a large sum of cash on him at the time or as another poster has suggested a large sum found in one of the house searches.

Have a sense this is only the tip of the iceberg with an unholy amount of shit to come out about a wider network.

This all the while as 39 people have lost their lives in deplorable circumstances

They almost entirely regurgitated the news article without actually naming the county

Sorry your absolutely right - Alex Doherty.

I may be wrong but looking at the watch on the final whistle he'd played 2 minutes over the allotted 4 minutes.

Magherafelt were very impressive overall yesterday but solid defence was their basis - Emmett McGuckin / Conor McCluskey / Simon McErlain / Fergal Duffin / Darren O'Neill all excellent, and Chris Kearns very good & had of been able to convert those goal chances may not have been as close in the end & special mention for Odhran Lynch who has come in for a little criticism for his shot stopping & fielding - he made one point blank save in the first half & gave an exhibition of high fielding under pressure in the second half.

Glen had some excellent performances as well - thought Danny Tallon / Ethan Doherty were stand outs. 

As a neutral looking in.,... Id be looking into that refs bank account and betting account.

Can we just call bull shit on this once and for all, he could have blown the game up straight after Shane Heavrons free, or at least 3 times in the build up to the shot, if he's placed a bet on Magherafelt to win would he not just have made it easier for himself by doing the aforementioned? And also how much f**king money do you think a bookie would take on this game in single bets - a few hundred pounds liability per single maximum? I'd hardly think he'd be at any of that for a few hundred pounds.

I was joking. 

I think we could replace joking with slabbering?

I wouldn't have thought he'd have been one of the first names on the team sheet back then  & would have all those mentioned ahead of him at the moment - but Rory Gallagher will be a far better judge than you or I hopefully

Not really - I think you probably summed up your own analysis with "he did rightly" - 6 players ahead of him & probably McGill Lavey & Dougan Glen thrown in there too. 

Ian Og. was championing J. Bamford of the JCB group to buy out Wrightbus. J. Bamford is also big pals with the Tory 1922 outfit apparently.

Ian has a plan.

The Da Bamford of JCB fame is a big pro Brexit supporter.

I was told by someone from the vicinity that the Wrights bought the whole site two years ago for a knockdown £4M on the proviso that they couldn't sell on for a profit for 10 years.
Evidently Bamford knows this and has offered the £4M but Pastor Jeff is wanting more as it's currently valued at £10M.

No pockets in a shroud Jeff!

If there was such a restrictive covenant youve alluded to below I would be very surprised anyone would value the land at £10m
