It's a different game
Can't compare to what's went before

So you are OK with conceding 5 points in the last 5 minutes to lose a game?

That is the real point here, never mind the crap over hooters etc

Just another person to vent! We've far too many armchair critics

No problem people voicing an opinion but at least be informed. Go to a game. Watch it.

I thought, like anyone, that game should have been over but it wasn't. After a nightmare start to the league I personally wasn't expecting anything out of the season. Those players despite the result today, did finish their year a lot better than it started.
I was disappointed leaving today so I can only imagine what the players felt

They genuinely looked shell shocked. I thought they played well against a team who were around a similar level. Momentum went against them at the worst time and just couldn't get possession at all in those last few minutes. Seen that happen to better teams than us in this current format. I certainly couldn't fault their work rate.

Conceding 5 pts in a short space of time in the modern game is now completely normal, my only question is did 4 subs in 8/9 minute spell contribute as near a third of the team settling into the already hot game at the same time.

I was at an underage tournament on at the same time, so I couldn't be in two places at once and had to follow it on Twitter and follow messages from people who were there.

Hence the timing issue.

Doesn't change the fact that it was a shambolic finish.

Just like Armagh!

Disappointing result, yeh the wheels came off a bit with all the subs in such a short space of time.
Hearing of a fall out among the management too, can't have helped things I'm sure. No promotion from Div.4 and not even a Tailteann Qtr Final. A poor enough year, should be doing better. 
At least clubs can get everyone back now.

Saturday was a Tailteann Cup quarter-final

You're right, of course. I meant latter stages in Croke Park. I think Antrim are good enough for that at least.

Will be interesting to see results for Wednesday with everyone back to full strength

Any club throwing their players straight back in would need a word with themselves.

Outside of fringe panel players I wouldn't be expecting to see too many, well that is if the clubs have any sense.

Why wouldn't they?

Maybe because they have literally finished their county season at the weekend and they might need a bit of rest, despite the results the county season is a grueling one mentally and physically for players.

I would imagine they would appreciate a week or two maybe to recharge and refresh themselves.

Yeah, let them unwind for a few weeks, yes if there is a relegation game or top of the table game it may influence a manager or player but there are some intense group games coming up.. Plenty to play for

God love them

God love them

I think there was a few Derry players playing for their clubs the next day.
