So something like the Irish league do on boxing day and have all the derbies. Coleraine vs Ballymena for example.
Suppose it wouldn't be too hard to implement if there are only 2 sets of midweek fixtures.

Expect nothing else. Barker and Co dont have a notion.
Clubs wanted their county players for all matches so what do you expect. This is the only solution and as far as I'm concerned Barker and co have been excellent. If clubs were prepared to play starred games without county players as in other counties this wouldn't be an issue. You can't have it both ways.
That is correct but there are problems with mid-week games : 1 -- It is very difficult for the away team to get their players available for long distance game e.g. Desertmartin v Slaughtmanus or Steelstown v Lissan and 2 -- Impossible, as has been already said, to full-fill a Reserve game in mid week when the teams are located a long way apart.
But this is a trial year and hopefully the system can be "tweeked" to address these issues
Croke Park would need to come to "grips" with the real problems of addressing Player Welfare and spend less time placating the Kildares and Dublins of the "nearly professional" Gaelic Football's elite
The system definitely needs improvement. Lissan played Faughenvale on Wednesday, yet play Castledawson on Saturday. You would think anyone with a bit of common sense would have swapped the fixtures about. Especially expecting to fulfil a reserve game at 645 and its a 70 minute drive.
This would mean Faughanvale heading to Desertmartin on wednesday past. Suit one team to disrupt another?

Will the under 20s affect the league?

Coldrick was a disgrace. There was no player protection for paudie cassidy who was constantly getting it around the neck. At least 4 times we broke through for goal and 4 times we were dragged down. Crucial monent when we where 4 points down and through on goal. Jersey pulled. Lynch gets sent of for striking and they get a black card. And a hop ball.
I honestly don't know if its home town blindness or rose coloured specs, but i despair at the nonsense some people come out with. Yes there were probably about 4 high challenges most of them on Big Paudie, yellow card offenses. to claim that these were all when we were breaking through on goal is nonsense, most not even near the goals. Crucial moment.... we were actually 6 behind at the time. i think you may find there were several more crucial moments before that, resulting in us being 6 down. Also, during this incident, us chasing the game, cynical pull down by Kildare man (i would expect any senior player to do the same think to protect a lead btw), why did Mark Lynch get involved in nonsense. The Kildare player was going to get a black, we had simple tap over free, time running down and he gets himself red carded and ball is thrown up, time wasted. We really have no cuteness, not the time to show who has the biggest muscles.

We can't blame Coldrick, bad as he was. Defensive approach was brutal. Letting Kildare carry the ball so far up the field, without a challenge. What was the thinking there?

Kildare very cynical. Ref completely let them be cynical. A disgrace. Derry very naive in defence.

For all the people at matches on Wednesday there- how many Black Cards did the referee give. Could have been three in our game but none was given.

Stephen Barker has done a great job the last 2 years with the league and championship. Give it a chance. You'd be concerned with div 3 in 2019 with 4 intermediate teams being relegated. Could be a few bad beatings for a few years but it'll hopefully spur junior teams on.
Sure isn't the league only a warm up for the championship?
Tickle, are the fixtures out?

I can remember in 2008 3 derry teams where in all finals.
On another note anyone know what games will be played before the Ulster Championship matches?
U-17s are played in april and the seniors in May
who were the Intermediate / Junior finalists that year RnB?
__________________________________________________________________________
The draw for next year's Ulster minor football championship (U17) took place tonight.
Under the new fixture calander the championship gets undeway in April and is separate from the senior championship.
In the preliminary round Derry play Monaghan on Saturday 21 April, with the winners progressing to a quarter-final against Cavan.
The quarter-finals on the A side of the draw are Antrim v Fermanagh and Donegal v Tyrone, with the winners of both games meeting in the semi-final.
On the other side of the draw Down play Armagh with the winner of that tie meeting Derry/Monaghan/Cavan in the last four.
The quarter-finals are fixed for Saturday 28 April.
All games must be concluded on the day with no replays. If two periods of extra time can't separate teams on the day, a free taking competition will decide the winner.
