😂😂 people thinking Steelstown will be effected by traffic in Belfast.
You's don't know many Derry men, they only cross the Foyle Bridge to go to airport or Altnagelvin Hospital.

No way they'll get to Owenbeg on a Thursday night then. Kilrea will surely get a bye if they don't turn up?

Lavey
Slaughtneil
Bellaghy

Kilrea-Steelstown to be postponed to next week due to traffic in Belfast.

You'd love to know who does the SFC fixtures.
Steelstown vs Kilrea on Thursday,
Nothing Friday
Lavey vs Swatragh on Saturday,
Glenullin vs Slaughtneil 4pm and Bellaghy vs Dungiven 6pm Sunday. All at Owenbeg.

What about:
Saturday 5pm and 7pm for Steelstown/Kilrea and Lavey/Swatragh
Sunday 2pm and 4pm for other two not make sense?

Have they not discovered that players prefer not to play on a Thursday or last thing on a Sunday yet?

Here lad, you thinking the Derry SFC is on sky sports? 😂
Clubs request days & times and the fixture makers have to accommodate.

Championship round dates out about 4 months and the last two weekends have been free and you think our county board would accommodate a club request?

Rightfully informed that all other fixtures in this football round involve dual clubs so extra day would be only fair. They will be exhausted after the absolute blockbuster hurling weekend we have in front of us.

County board should ask Ryan O what time and date fixtures suit him best in future.

if you think its fair on any player to take them to Owenbeg on a Thursday for a 7:30pm throw in then you haven't been around many teams.
Some lads maybe working in Belfast or anywhere that requires an hours drive home finishing at 4:30pm.
5:30pm before they're home and they need to be in Owenbeg at 6:45pm latest? Thats some preparation for they're biggest game of the year.

Don't be thinking it out but, jump straight in and do your best smart arse impression.

It'll probably be handier for the Kilrea and Steelstown lads to get to Owenbeg from Belfast than to their clubs from Belfast.

While you're doing all your thinking, have you thought that Kilrea or Steelstown probably put in a request to move the game away from certain days. Someone mentioned a wedding. I suppose it's easier to blame county board rather than giving them any credit. It's a club game not the premier league.

I do agree with you though. Thursday not ideal but likely little can be done. Damp squib to end a season on a Thursday.

Derry Senior championship needs big clubs like Ballinascreen competing. We shouldn't allow big clubs with pedigree to go down. It's also unfair on the smaller intermediate clubs.

Dungiven the far better team last night but nearly threw it away. Screen very poor but wouldn't go away. Haran and Dillon best two players on pitch. Be a shame to see big club like screen go down

Not from tyrone but was recently speaking to someone from Coalisland recently and they were quite passionate about east tyrone and west tyrone rivalry. Can anyone explain further as I just don't get it?

Errigal and Galbally ulster double is no doubt in my opinion. Potential for Tyrone clubs to win senior, intermediate and junior all ireland. all thanks to the late start for the county giving our best clubs a bit more focus. Master stroke from county board

Typical city team.

Has burren management been sorted yet? Was a lot of buzz about it few weeks ago and heard a lot but seems to all have gone quiet? Players need clarity this time of year. Any updates!

Just thinking of errigal. That point given from D. Canavan was definitely wide from my view.
P. Teague probably best player in the pitch and I still can't believe D&L played him at corner back against Armagh. Should be a shoe in for wing back for the county. Thought young Mcgarrity was excellent against Clonoe but the rest of their forward line was lackluster. If he plays that well agaisnt errigal their ulster club could be in jeopardy.

Definitely best squad in ulster. Probably looking at an All Ireland run. It would make a great final them vs kilmacud. Kilcoo weak this year. Slaughtneil be lucky to even win Derry. Cross and cargin aren't up to it. Donegal champs uselsss. Ballybay and gowna will be on the drink for weeks. It'll be between enniskillen gaels and errigal for ulster. Forget about anyone else.
Such tripe talking about ulster clubs again. Both Errigal and Carrickmore would be more than happy with a tyrone title. As for the was it wasn't it a point the view to know whether it was a point or not was the umpire. It evens it self out over course of game as their was one in first half that wasn't given when it was over. Teague good footballer he was hung out to dry against armagh. Have to say I was very impressed Sunday with mc carron the full back for dromore. To me he is county standard

Can we not talk of a great team and their potential? Errigal the best squad on paper in ulster by my eyes so sureley worth talking about.

how have they the best squad in paper in Ulster?? thats a very lazy statement. Peter Harte & the Canavans are excellent yes, but there is some serious drop off afterwards.

Relegation games now postponed as a club have lodged an appeal with the Ulster Council, as per the local media on Twitter.

Coleraine.

Think it was screen

It wasn't. As per the email circulated, Eoghan Rua CLG have appealed to Ulster GAA. So, the plan to go ahead with the games, regardless of the complaints to the County Board, has now been scrapped and the games are postponed.

Friend sent me email it said it was screen. Don't know what your talking about.

Seen a young lad wearing a captains armband the other night in an u15 game. Do you think this could come into GAA more? I know big soccer idea but would make it easy for supporters to identify and see contribution from captain. It may have a  psychological for the player wearing to be a real leader? And bring us back to glory days.

A captain's armband! Of all the rule changes in the world you you come up with that lol

Have seen this a couple of times over the last few years in Tyrone. Whilst I don't agree with it they are not hurting anybody and might help get a few more young lads into the game if they want to be visibly seen as captain. If it is going to be in the game they could take a leaf out of the NFL were the captains have a patch on their jersey as opposed to that soccer s****.

If I seen some kid come up to me taking the toss with a fecking armband on saying captain on it he'd lose the call every time lol

Not sure about this might be a nightmare for clubs asking oneills to sew a captain patch to certain number. Especially if players play different positions every week or captains change. Could be a handling also if DIY sew job is done. I imagine many players wanting to be captain would get it done and then it would cause confusion amongst the stands as to who is captain causing the whole thing to be pointless. Captain arm band the way forward if we are going to do anything I think.

Not sure VAR would be used in reserve games however if clubs had technology and referees available it might work. VAR in big championship and league games would be class I think. The excitement it brings would make the boring product of Gaelic football far more watchable? Trial it out anyway and we might see referees given a bit more respect for willing to deal with new technology?

Two referees is an interesting idea but the two whistles would cause a problem I think. Maybe one could use the whistle in the first half and one could use it in the second half. Would help solve it. Refs would also only take half as much abuse.

Regarding offside, don't be silly of course this won't be brought in. Most men man mark from the front, like we coach children. The forward would be permantly offside. Imagine goals being ruled out for being offside. The logistics would be a nightmare especially underage games teaching children awkward rules. Just do away with handpass and teach children to kick and catch and we have a better game

Will down final be on rte? Probably not the establishment hate the boys from down especially after kilcoo and burren antics last time game was on rte. Also on this any more news on burren managment? Need to start getting best from young boys and get a young manager in to help with this. Another suggestion I thought of in past few days was Darragh O'Hanlon from kilcoo. Could cause a bit of controversy with kilcoo faithful but I'm sure it would boost his management career.
