Ulster Championship 2025

Five words, and you still fucked it up 🤭

Adrian Cush has the head screwed on and has had success in Derry, worth a shot?

The way the last two appointments have went I don't think a third Tyrone man is the way to go for Derry.   

One for luck/the road?

[Captain Obvious]

Blaming Tally for Derry's woes is a tad much.

The new rules mean teams need to register about 25 points to win a 70 min game.

Derry have one intercounty standard forward. That's the start and the end of their problems. No manager can fill that void.

I 100% agree Tally doesn't take all the blame and the forward situation is true as well but

Gallagher
County Board
Harte & Devlin
Players

All need to shoulder their fair share. Tally has made plenty of mistakes too though. The biggest being the keeper situation!

Derry haven't recovered from that so called bonding/training trip last year. Harte has always been against them so the Derry county board in hindsight shouldn't have organised it against his wishes.

The long break to the All-Ireland series now could be blessing in disguise for Derry however if no improvement by then it's time to be very concerned for the years ahead whereby good underage players will be coming into a Senior set-up environment that isn't good.

What's the story with the 12.30pm Saturday throw in for Antrim v Armagh

What's the story with the 12.30pm Saturday throw in for Antrim v Armagh

To allow Armagh ones to go to ladies league final in Croker that evening..

Match would be over  about 2.15.  Get through the Belfast traffic, and down to Dublin by 5pm?

It's probably possible, but  how many will  actually be going to both?

Belfast to Dublin is about an hour and a half it shouldn't be a problem!

Probably not many to be honest, but there will be the likes of the McCambridges and Mackins with siblings involved in both teams who I'm sure will.

If there's any traffic at all, that motorway isn't great - everybody hogging the right lane. Bumper to bumper.

Off topic I know, but I could never figure out why when they were building the new motorways did they not take about another 12ft off each side. Even leave it then tar it etc. in 20 years time to make it 3 lanes.

Went to Dublin one Monday morning and it was 40mph from Dundalk onwards...braking and then braking again. Brutal.

Don't get me started on the new road from Castledawson to Randalstown or new road to Derry. There's hardly a hard shoulder on them. Imagine breaking down there, half your car out on left lane.

Antrim folks / westies, best way to get to Corrigan? Train & glider? Leave car at home as guessing traffic be nuts?

Its brutal there if its any way busy you're right, would need 3 lanes with the volume of traffic daily

Pess red button, turn sound off,cut the grass, prepare for Tyrone game.

Mentally preparing myself for our worst case:hammering, best case: moral victory versus Tyrone.

Even when they're begging to be beat, like last year in Breffni, we haven't the balls to go for it and put them down. With their act together under O'Rourke one year on, it'll be no fuss, ritual business as usual for them in Omagh come Sunday. 42 years and counting, jasus it'd make you cringe.

How are Cavan going in comparison to last year? We seem more organised and improving slightly with each game though in the last few games Donegal and Dublin may have foot off the gas.
