Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[theticklemister]

Glass was way off pace, compare him with McFaul today , his midfield partner,who gave a tour-de-force. He won't be given a start next week; he'll need to come up to speed.

Ethan Doherty and Tad, along with McGuigan were also very good.

The wind must have been stronger than it looked today as Derry succumbed in the second half

Has glass played many senior games for Glen?

Has glass played many senior games for Glen?

Think his appearance against Longford last week was his first senior game, club or county (could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time) . He was in the extended panel for the club final last year but didn't play

Big step up then so you'd expect him to take a while.

Definitely played for Glen in a senior championship game vs banagher. Not aware of any other game

Good man, wasn't a 100%

[Real Talk]

Not a great 2nd half. This day week is a big ask but there won't be a kick of a ball in it I think, well I hope.
Hopefully Loughlin is there to lead the line with McGuigan and Glass gets a another good week's training under his belt

Yea was also disappointed in their second half performance ... certainly the long journey down wouldn't have helped ... Glass not making the same impression that McKenna has done for Tyrone.   Also worried about their inability to penetrate the Offaly defence by too often trying to go down the centre when a better use of good wing play may have let them get in behind  their defence ...

Was Loughlin injured ? ... cause we need  a good right-footed free taker

I can't see Armagh being unduly worried about this Derry team ... these young lads need another "winning league football season" under their belts before winning Ulster Championship games becomes a reality ... mind you a cracker of a goal by Ethan Doherty

Failed a late fitness test.

Give the lad a chance.

He's only back a few weeks.

Glass should never have been near a county panel this year. Was a very good underage player and hopefully will also be a very good senior player, but he has played little or no senior football of any note and hasn't played at all in 4 years, absolutely disgraceful that he is drafted in straight off the plane on underage reputation alone. Should have been left to play some senior football with Glen before he was ever looked at for county.

True. Same goes for Conor mckenna too

Not true.  Conor Glass was playing at elite, professional level for the last number of years, he put his hand up again to represent the county on return - which is more than some other players who never left these shore did.   He deserved the chance for a number of reasons - to possibly play a key role in a one-off year, to get a sense of how quickly he might or might not adapt and to encourage those around him.  Today's performance gave him and Gallagher some more information.  It will take him much longer to adapt and Conor now knows that fully.  However he could still be effective v Ard Mhacha, albeit in a more defensive or man-marking role.  Derry aren't that long out of Division 4, still haven't got out of Division 3 and do not have a queue of others lining up to play for the county.  Conor will be grand - it was just disappointing for Derry today, and for him, that he didn't have a better game.  If he does feature v Ard Mhacha, he will give 100%.

He was playing a totally different sport, he hasn't played any kind of competitive Gaelic football in at least 4 years and hasn't played at all (bar against Banagher as another poster said) at adult level. There is absolutely no way he should have been rushed straight into the county set up. As I said, I hope he goes on to be as good and successful a senior player as he was underage, but he has done nothing to merit it yet and the ridiculous OTT attention on him by the Derry GAA community and local media could actually be detrimental to his development as a player.
