Derry Club Football & Hurling original

"You should stick to slagging off Derry hurling because you haven't a clue about Derry football if you think Tohill could be useful for anything. A man that can't make a Swatragh team couldn't be useful for anything!"

That's a disgraceful comment. Completely unnecessary. I  watched Anton in the Queens games on the stream and he was very good  I don't think he is at the level that most what to see for our county midfield but he is definitely at the level of some of our fringe panel players. 

If Swatragh can't make something of him that says more about them than Anton. From what I hear about him he is liked by his team mates.

I always wonder if the people who post  horrible comments would be fit to say the same things to the individuals face. Safer to hide behind a screen. 

On a positive note Conal Higgins showed up very well night taking on players and scoring 4 points. He probably is better inside but with his height he provides another kickout option in half forward

I'm fairness , it would be hard not to like the big fella, as civil as they come

For what it's worth, I'd have him in the squad

(Welcome to the board Big Tohill)

[Wildweasel74]

Probably have him in too. Especially with D Higgins out at the minute.

To Tohill's credit, there was no faulting his effort last year. It looked like he'd been given a job to break ball, or lay it off. Didn't seem to be given the freedom to go forward or shoot.
I'd like to seem him get a chance playing the way he is for QUB.

When we played Meath, the size around the middle was a real issue for us. We need a few big physical presences that we can put in there - Higgins is one, Tohill is the only other I can think of with a bit of size.

No matter how he went last year skills wise theres was absolutely no questioning Antons effort.
I went to a training day at Owenbeg for children at one stage maybe 3 years ago and he was a credit the way he interacted with the children.

On another note, why are Derry GAA social media accounts congratulating Limavady FC on beating Linfield?? I'm all for bit of friendship but surely this is taking it too far. Did Limavady congratulate us on beating Tyrone maybe

Big fans of Derry City recently to but at least they are our tenants

Yeah thought that was a bit odd.b

[Wildweasel74]

Ah it was Linfield, we give them a pass!

Good result for the senior hurlers at the weekend and a more than decent performance by the U.20 hurlers against Antrim. A shame for the minors and hopefully only an early season blip against Wicklow. Pity there's no chat about hurling, but only talk about Derry City and Limavady United over the last few days.   

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Fierce amount of chat about Derry City and limavady alright

People are either interested in the hurling or not Squareball ... I'd say plenty look out for the scores and that's about it... maybe harsh but true.

Nothing snidely about it. If a man can't make the Swatragh team who are a bottom 6 club in the senior league, how can he be deemed good enough for our county team. Absolutely nothing against the lad but he's clearly not good enough.


If he wasn't Anthony Tohills son would we even be having this conversation.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Wasn't talking about you

Let's stop talking shite on here lads. Tohill is a very good player as we saw in the sigerson. He's also a good leader and the very experienced QUB management picked him as captain. He also did reasonably well for Derry last year and was developing. He's more than good enough to play for swatragh so let's cut out all the bullshit. Having said all that Meenagh has made the judgement that he's not quite good enough for the Derry panel at the moment and I for one am satisfied with that judgment. Let's just get behind the lads selected. Roll on Saturday and a tough game against Kildare.

[shawshank]

well said Lenny, Tohill is a bloody decent player. Swa, being swa chose to shot themselves in the foot with Tohill last season, and not for the first time I might add.
