robert are you saying the derry gaa website has nothing to do with the derry county board? so it is not an official website just a fan website? i find that amasing, that a county would let fans run an official site.  is m hasson not on the county board?

to be honest i know a lot of people do a lot of good work for the gaa, but in my dealing with a few of the derry county board, i have found them a disgrace i must stress a few not all.  the website is a big improvement, i just thought it was an opportunity to do something really good which has been missed. i will not be helping them for personnel reasons which shouldnt effect my relationship with derry gaa, but it does as these people seem to think they are derry gaa

that is a poor attempt at a county website rob!! but tipical of the derry county board.  i think the kevin lynchs site cost something like £35 a month not sure dont deal with it myself

My club(kevin Lynchs) use gaelsport.  it is pretty good

I didnt realise it was Tyrone on their own who re-junvinated the Mc Kenna Cup i though it was novel format, stronger masrketing from the ulster council and all the fans from all the counties who bought back into the compitition.

M Harte is an egotisical tosser

Lads the sigerson is not one bit de-valued.  Ringers in the sigerson cup have been going on as long as the compitition itself.  An old manager of mine won a sigerson with UCD in the 60's says he was marking a full forward from UCG, he asked what course he was doing? to which he replyed sums.

Can you not come up with a better one than the old 'sums' joke - its as old as the hills and has been spoken about since pussy was c cat!

So like I said earlier any word of the Hotshot team??

I detest this term, such an obvious case of the sponsor calling the shots.  Why did the HEC let them change the name from what should always be called the combined Universities team?



It may be an old joke, but it is based in fact to back up my point that the sigerson cup has never been 100% clean, and to say that it is now debased by Dan Mc Cartan or the Ploy is nonsese

The crowds and the teams at the Dub last weekend will totally disagree with you there

means nothing

Sigerson is a great compitition, and for those that think it is not a breading ground for county football,  look at the success of ulster universitys against their counties  all-Ireland success 2-3 years later uuj 85-86 st marys 89, qub 90 down, donegall, derry - qub 2000 uuj 2001 armagh 2002 tyrone 2003 &6

there is a relationship for the total reason before people take it to the extreme

very funny black and white but he is actually very intelligent as is dan mc cartan, the problem with sigersonb is they let in the poly and the IT and they have ruined what was a great gaa competition in particualr the poly and ever year they get beat it is great to see as they have recked the competition

I wasnt talking about Kevins intelligence, more his personality, if the clubs cv was a advertised job would he get it? it is by vote, and also a position the gaa club has held for the last ten years in qub. 

The last time QUB won the sigerson i think 5 players were doing this masters in computing, everybody is at it so please stop trying to say it is a ploy thing

You think masters and phd students should be barred from playing? the HEC have already broached this subject and postgraduates not with enough credits, ie not doing enough hours to be regarded full time students, are disallowed. ask ross munnelly. Tommy Joe has already had his clubmate Dan investigated fully through croke park prior to sigerson and was officially rebuked when he attempted to reignite this immediately before the weekend.

It's ironic that Tommy Joe actually introduced the sabbatical officer rule so that he could play Jody Gormley, who was at the time vp of clubs and societies at the poly, that has this year allowed mcgourty to play.

Mc Giurty has been playing the last 3 years on that rule.  But amybe he isnt employable in the real world

i think you are re-writing history there a bit with the Micky saved the Mc Kenna cup.  the new formate and hard work at Ulster COuncil level saved the competition, not Mickey.  Him not playing friendlies is his own concern, does that mean he realises all county players to play in all their clubs games?
