Quote from: Topmarks on June 14, 2026, 10:04:29 AMI also felt that because we won so little ball from kickouts in the first and second half, we had to do some amount of running. It felt like we were chasing the ball for long spells all day. I felt this contributed to the last 20 mins where it never felt we had another gear or the energy to up it again.

This is a good point. We couldn't get kickouts away short at virtually any point. Just to try and build momentum even. McGuckin has acquitted himself really well but kick outs are a fundamental flaw in his game. Too slow. Not decisive enough. But he only began playing keeper 18 months ago so he has done well to get to where he is now.

We looked out of puff with ten minutes to go. Meath ran out deserved winners. They are a good team. But we are fast becoming the team that have thrown it all away.

Quote from: CookieMonster on June 14, 2026, 09:56:02 AMSeems to be some chatter that McFaul was willing to return in January but was told there was no place for him. Can anyone confirm or deny?
He was, before Christmas didn't suit because of the business and newborn. He came in for Glen in preseason in probably the shape of his life tbh


Physically the strongest man on the panel, good luck to anybody trying to push him about. We're hardly in a position to be turning him away ffs. Was bad enough when I thought it was his own choice, he'll hardly come back now.

Used those skills in the states
And you haven't the brains you were born with.

Sure call in with him and work out your grievances no point telling us about it

Lively enough game Swatragh v Ballinascreen. Screen well on top 1st half to lead by 6pts, should been more. Swatragh came into it 2nd half but Screen always had enough to keep ahead. Who the young skycraper at midfield for them? Screen has small forwards but they all very fast. Swatragh like kilrea, got players with discipline and attitude problems.

I see Lavey dished out a good hammering to Vale, dark horses for the championship for sure this year.

Vale a shoo in for relegation now, who joins them? Screen seem to be pulling to safety now with a few men back which leaves Limavady and Kilrea in trouble.

Is there relegation playoffs in the championship again this year?

been at a good few games for both clubs and didn't see and major discipline issues? What gamed are you thinking. Attitude maybe yes but I'd say they know that.

Another poor result for Faughanvale although Lavey could turn a corner now with men back.
Its tight at the bottom but I'd say favourites for the drop would maybe be Vale and Limavady. Not sure who everyone has left to play but.

That Screen midfielder I think is a young fella walls (still a club minor)  I was at our game against Glenullin it was a very open game and finished up 2-27 to 4-12 in our favour  Eamon and Sean young togged out and ,showed well Oisin and Mark Doc impressive also ,

Surprised to see Sean out, think the sun was rising when most of them got home this morning

Did you see u man thump the screen man the day? Only man didnt see it was the ref! Problem with Swatragh. certain players dictate the game not the management. They a few very good players and should be in a better position than they are

Wasn't able to get to it I'm sure I'll get the lowdown in the tea room tomorrow!

Biggest mistake Meenagh made was allowing Mc Kaigue to be part off his management team,an absolute bell end,Glass and Mc Guigan are living off the Gallagher years,can seem to play shite but still remain on the field,Mc kinless getting involved at ht,getting a black card and when he gets back on is non existent for fear off another foul would've seen him lined,before Glass went off with the bang to he head he was a passenger

Go ahead enlighten us why McKaigue shouldn't be part of the management team? You remark is very personal with no evidence to back it up that he isn't at that level. Benny Heron is part of that management team as well. No personal insult for him either?
cccc is a true supporter lol

referee

Rawhide take the derry blinkers off,its well known that he was instrumental in getting MH and Horse Devlin the road,as well as PT,these men played him and still got knifed in the back by him,and he'll do the same to Ciaran Meenagh,WTS
