Derry Club Football & Hurling original

There's definitely a gap in the market men, what about 'Brendan's on the Ball*', I'd subscribe

* metaphorically speaking of course

Like you keep pointing out my contributions are shite but yeah be nice if someone could fill that gap 

Ah man, maybe ever so slightly on the negative side at times, but not shite 😁

Ref shortage getting no better, heard a number of refs done both senior and reserve today

Heard this myself. On one hand fair play to the refs who done both games as I'm sure they could have easily said no to one of the games. On the other hand I feel we are only a couple of years away from games being cancelled due to no refs.

Looking at the current age of some of the referees we have you have to wonder how much longer they will do it for.

At a game the day, most of the shouting at refs is from Management more than supporters, who in general seem to have limited knowledge of new rules.

Is there not a fair whack of them refereeing in Tyrone as well??

Last two Ulster titles with semi final wins over Monaghan.....

Where do we think the venue will be? Armagh or Omagh?

First semi was in Omagh and the one the year after was in Armagh.

Fingers crossed, the one in 2 weeks will be in Armagh too.

I'm pretty sure it was the other way about with the first in Armagh and the next year it being in Omagh.

That was probably our best performance under Gallagher. Total dominated Monaghan. McManus was sick tracking Clucky that day.

Aye, you're right. Hope this one is anywhere but Omagh.

I prefer Armagh, but it's prob closer to Monaghan than Derry so Omagh might be more central.

It is likely to be a close game I feel.
Whilst Derry were never in any trouble against Antrim, there were plenty of mistakes and things to work on. A bit open at the back at times and our shooting wasn't amazing.
Monaghan have come through a tougher game and will have another couple of weeks to get their injured players back so will likely have improved further.

I'd like to think us at full strength and performing at our best we win comfortably, but if we can improve on the game at the weekend and win by a point or 2 I'd be happy enough.

Murray had some game - hope he can keep that form going and stay injury free. Closest we've had to our full panel being available in 2-3 years now. Lynch probably the only missing first 15 player now.
Any word on how he's progressing?

Armagh it is, Saturday at 17.00

If Lynch is fully fit, would you start him in the next game?

100%
First choice keeper for me.

[Wildweasel74]

Bound be very rusty, but i keep him in the bench if hes fit, if for anything, alot of games can go to extra time/penalties, and u be bringing him on for that alone!
