The type of dollar Callum Brown would be on, some fool to come back here

Not much of a Gah man anyway to be swayed back to play for the pride of the county jersey, sure he was playing for Linfield

Jees justing making the point football wasn't a high priority

I heard or read in an interview Callum Brown said he'd like to play for the county after his AFL career has finished but hopes that isn't for a good few years yet.

He's been more successful than our other recent players who travelled over there, so to expect him to come back is a stretch.

An even bigger stretch was suggesting Jude McAtamney come back. Whilst there's a greater chance he's out of contract sooner, he literally played in an NFL game last year. He'd be mad not to stick at that as long as he can.
Even if it doesn't work out you'd have to see him in action for club too as I'm not sure he's shown he was intercounty senior standard before leaving.

Funny I thought he was the best of them and a good free taker, I think he be def on the panel.

Maybe i was a bit harsh, he was a county underage player and is a brilliant free taker. A kicker of 2 point frees is valuable in the game as it is now. It's just I don't think he'd have been in the panel if he didn't head away and he's been away from it a few years. He'd have a chance at it for sure.
My main point is he played for the New York Giants last year. As much as I love gaelic football it's not comparable. Base salary of almost a million dollars if he can make it. Even practice squad players can earn 100k's. He'd be mad not to give it another year or two.

For all we know they could change that rule some random Wednesday like they did with the 50m penalty for tackling the midfield catch last week.

Any truth to the rumours that Tally is revamping the backroom team? Muldoon and Flynn away?

Nearly right in fairness. Paul Mcflynn and Kevin McGuckin told they were no longer required. Not sure how Mcivor survived as all the training was done by Tally in the last few months.

Derry hosted the national Féile yesterday... Derrys coverage and promotion of this was non-existant. Disgraceful!

What is going on at Owenbeg, gaels all over the county are crying out for promotion of our games but nothing is done, it's left to the clubs who dont have a fraction of the reach. Reading the Antrim thread the clubs and county board fund the saffron Gael why can't something similar be done in Derry?

I thought last year they'd caught on when scores and league tables were being posted on social media which was a start but back to nothing this year
