What do you regard as a sacrifice?

I'm interested to know what difference being married makes to this also.

Well, apologies , I'm was working on an old traditional assumption regarding being married with kids. Appreciate that plenty of men are in relationships and have kids and are not married. The general point is still the same though, if a player missed his kid's play. That would be a sacrifice imo.

Missing a kid's play. The only sacrifice in life.

Now you're being silly.
Of course it's not the only sacrifice in life. I was giving an example of what I would constitute as a 'sacrifice' when talking about someone's involvement in a intercounty panel.
Real life sacrifices are a parent donating an organ to save their kid.
Or a parent in Gaza going without food themselves to ensure their kids survive.

So, losing time with your children is a sacrifice. Yes.

So too then is losing time with your family, friends, girlfriend or anyone who means a lot to you.

Missing out on family occasions, weekends away, nights out with mates.

I don't know how you can say that these aren't sacrifices but missing a Nativity play is.

If someone had told me I'd be able to pull out the 'county training' card to get out of having to go to a nativity play I'd never have quit - wonder how Kilkenny footballers are fixed for a waterboy the year??

Callum Brown after kicking 5 goals in season opener down under. That's no mean feat, would be a great day at the office for even the stars in the AFL

[93-DY-SAM]

Be class to see him back in a Derry jersey. He would be some addition at the minute. But wishful thinking, looking like things are starting to really take off for him on Oz and best of luck to him with it.

[Real Talk]

Well folks what's the Derry starting team v Mayo gonna be ?

[Newbridge Exile]

First time ever I think in  Castlebar today, obviously  hoping to get two points  but on a side note and after also being in Pearse Stadium  it highlights  big time how poor the facilities are in Celtic park ,(Toilet's and catering  facilities especially )

[screenexile]

Controlled most of the game save for the first 10 and the middle 10 mins of the second half.

Worrying that when Mayo got the run on us we made basic errors and seemed to struggle mentally all over the place. Reminded me a bit of our last 10mins against Kerry last year.

It's happened a few times now so hopefully we can get this ironed out come Championship!

We also need a right footed free taker!!!

[Wildweasel74]

Still haven't found a regular scoring forward to give McGuigan a hand, The issue with a right footer free taker, I highlighted ages ago,am suprised Harte hasn't tried out a few lads that side for frees.

[STREET FIGHTER]

SmcG hitting free's from the left with the wind no problem....

Didn't fancy them in the 2nd half from the dead ball or from play given playing into the wind....

So true, McGuigan is some operator but needs support, if not sorted this could be the difference between landing the big one or not.  No coincidence that McGuigan had a quiet second half in the semi-final versus Kerry last year.

Derry's score difference is only 3 less than the Dubs.  Only for the mini dip in 15 mins V Mayo yesterday and they'd be top of the score difference in Div. 1.

That's not bad going for Div. 1.  I'm not sure why people are complaining about lack of scorers.

Derry are getting scores from all over the pitch.

What? - 3:15 yesterday. Great shooting. That's one area that Derry have improved on this year.  Scores, and more importantly goals from Mc Closkey. Points from Toner, Glass, Mc Grogan, Baker, Mc Faul and Mc Kindess etc.

People have little to be complaining about.

We're going over this old ground again?? McGuigan gets support from every single outfield player. This is modern football. 4 of the 6 defenders all weighed in with scores, this happens in every game . This is how Derry play, 15 defend, 15 attack.

[Wildweasel74]

Watched that tackle on Loughlin a no of times now, for the life i can't see how he not brought to the ground there for a penalty.
