Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[Stickittotheman]

Derry need seriously analysis the goalkeeping position for nxt year. It's now such a pivotal position. They need bck up keepers 2/3 all playing of the same hymn sheet nxt year. And preferably the ability to kick 2pters. It amazes me Lynch can kick a ball 60+m but couldn't kick a 45 or long free. He was tried a couple of times and was missing then straight in front of the posts. Armagh cost themselves the game against Kerry cause they wouldn't sub the keeper when he got cleaned out on his kicking about 10times in a row.

We have a good 2 point kicker in Glass but it doesnt hurt to have others. I agree with sorting the keeper position out. For me Lynch is still the best in the county but if he is injured then Ryan Scullion has to be brought back into the fold. I think he will be and can see a few buying in now that Meenagh is back.

But is he better than Stuart,Regan, the Derry U20 keepers coming. Etc.

I'd be surprised if the 2 point free survives until next year.

I would be extremely surprised if it doesn't survive. Removing it would give teams a license to foul just outside the scoring zone. The new rules have reduced cynicism so keeping the 2 point free is a must.

McKaigue was in the lough in 2022.

He then jumped ship to Ardboe for the 2022 and then 2023 season as he is mates with the horse Devlin and wanted to entice him to Derry. 

He has latched on to Ardboe minors this season in the hope they might win something to massage his CV. They could very  well do as they've a very good team.

A lot of people round Ardboe are apparently hoping he gets the Derry job so they get rid of him once and for all.

Ardboe minors won the Tyrone A Minor championship today..

Well he was playing Hurling today.

Thought the ref kept screen in the game missing the most obvious black card by screens number 3 on harkin. And also missed a wreckless tackle on the same player moments earlier during a goal chance.

Dungiven made hard work of it with discipline issues and few missed goal chances.

Screen support had some complaints about a missed 2 pointer but it was 100% inside the arc.

Loup beat Lavey in the other semi 2-22 - 2-14.
Dylan Rocks (amongst others) was fantastic, with a fine display of high fielding

Was at the game myself, I was actually amazed screen thought it was a 2pointer for even the player that kicked it didn't appeal for the 2 pointer.

Thought the ref was superb in letting the game flow but possibly missed a black for the screen 3.

Also anyone else hearing rumours of a split in the Glen camp?

Actually thought the opposite with his soft frees however to contradict myself a bit, his use of the advantage was good.

Going by this thread what we can all agree on is the ref cant win. Fancied Dungiven to do it even when they fell 3 points behind with the amount of chances they wasted you just felt when they got a rhythm going they'd be hard to stop and that's what happened
