McAteer just on on the subday game panel? he came on Sunday did he not.

He did, appeared in every game so far I think but I heard yesterday he's quit altogether

disappointing to here I thought he was coming on rightly. Massive commitment but and not for everyone.

[screenexile]

That is disappointing he's some option off the bench with his pace and mazy runs. He has good feet as well I thought he could have been important this year!

[Real Talk]

R Scullion in goals
R O'Mianain in at 8
S Young and S Downey named to start. Not much experience on the bench but plenty of potential. Defence has been solid so far and forwards improving from first day out. Would be nice to get a convincing victory at home to build momentum.

I'd settle for a 1 point win ... Harte involved with Offaly will know the Derry players

[Wildweasel74]

Lad been involved in all games and goes,we need forward power of the bench. Offaly be the weakest team we play, am not sure why we not trying a few more men out.

[Mario]

In no other top county would a player that has featured in every game just decide to walk off the panel in mid February. Meanwhile Armagh, Tyrone, Donegal all have massive panels and everyone seems happy. I thought he looked very good for a man that had never played county and was looking forward to seeing him on the harder ground.

They are down a lot of players through injury but Derry can't afford to take their eye off the ball in this one.

Not being too cocky but both teams seem to be going in opposite directions at the minute. Derry, I hope, will get the win and improve their score difference in terms of league table as it could matter by the end of league.

BTW, anybody know the exact wording of Glass' appeal statement? The GAA's disclipline process is a joke.

I said when Burns came in as President he should have one focus on his legacy. Disclipline. Sort it out - the 2 cases in Kildare V Derry are a prime example. Getting sent off a joke. Then the appeals are a joke. While the 2 lads trying/suceeding to get them sent off get off scot free. I don't get how the Loughrea lad got off and these 2 lads didn't. I know the Loughrea player was going to miss the AICF but that's not my point. The discliplinary process...or lack of it is my point


Could Burns not set up a panel of 5 to review the GAA's discliplinary procedures and write a new one up. Then follow rugby's plan and have a panel of 3 people to review incidents every Monday and sort it out properly.

It looks to me that the GAA are trying to protect the referee which in this case is not right.

Everyone and their dog can see that neither incident were red cards and should have been overturned going on the evidence that we've all seen on social media.

But instead of calling Gough (and his team of officials) out for a very poor performance, they'd rather back him and no doubt allow him and his ego to continue making these poor calls in games he officiates.

Believe me, not every player on every county panel is happy - far from it.

In addition, there are plenty in those 3 counties you refer to who won't commit therefore are not on the county panels.

The commitment required nowadays is enormous - practically full time.

You aren't talking about someone that isn't seeing game time. Did he expect to be an automatic starter from the minute he came in?

You can please some of the people all of the time. You can please all of the people some of the time. But you cant please all of the people all of the time.

Self praise is.....no praise. 

[Brendan]

Rotten night for it, alot of people left at half time and you can see why, didnt learn much from that game, far bigger test next weekend when Cork visit

[Stickittotheman]

You can only beat what's in front of you and we did that with ease. That was without Clucky, McEvoy, Glass and Murray. Not much learned and will face far greater challenges but it was nice to see such an easy victory, after not winning for so long. We are moving in the right direction.

After the result tonight, I think Offaly would have settled for this also.
Would love to know why so many changes are made to the published line ups, I can't see how it helps players.
