If that's the case the season is a write off, we won't do anything without a top goalkeeper

How can a muscular injury rule you out for the whole season?

If it's the same injury that kept him out of the club season I'd say it probably is his year over for the county, will guess they will now stick with McNicholl as it's a big call to throw someone else in at this stage. Absolutely no luck this year

Is the lad from Newbridge there, He got the makings of a good keeper. I thought he declined a invite.

 In order to give the majority of Derry's potential Ulster Senior championship starting fifteen a well-earned  rest and to give fringe players and those recovering from injury an ideal opportunity to make a claim for promotion to the first team, I would play the following side against Armagh in the last round of the League next Sunday.
                                     James Gribbin
Mark Doherty                    Martin Bradley                Ryan Mulholland
Patrick McGurk                  Padraig McGrogan              Kevin Cassidy
                    Dan Higgins       Ciaran McFaul (if fit).
Ray McCarron                    Niall Toner(capt)             Jody McDermott
Caolan Devlin                   Niall Loughlin                Cahir McMonagle


You will have noticed that I have included four experienced and top quality players in the side in Padraig McGrogan,Niall Toner, Ciaran McFaul and Niall Loughlin. This should have the dual advantage of all four, who have been injured, attain match fitness, while giving leadership and encouragement to all of the remaining eleven players.

Totally agree with most of this team. Kevin Cassidy is just a bit too old now though and he's donegal. Ray mccarron was a great player but he's got to be over 60 now and he's a monaghan man. A 26 year old Casidy and mccarron I'd definitely take.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Yes there's experience and then there's this

Ben McKinless called up. He will be the championship keeper

[Wildweasel74]

Well he decent enough out the field, and been there for 2yrs in the past.

That's a better summary than any paper, give. Nobody has a idea on the panel. Anybody know the U20 team for the mor night? Presume St Pat older lads be rested. I say there been a couple on the panel.

[toby47]

Fair play for putting that together Jimmy.

Lots of names will miss championship from the panel last year.

Odhran Lynch
Ryan Sculluion
Chrissy McKaigue
Conor McCluskey
Gareth McKinless
Shea Downey
Donnacha Gilmore
Emmett Bradley
Eunan Mulholland

Thats 9 players that would definitely have made the match day panels of 26.

Then add in Brendan Rodgers missed 2/7 league games, Ciaran McFaul has barley played due to injury, Cormac Murphy has barely played due to injury. Niall O'Donnell is also out for the year after a brilliant club season and would have been ready to kick on. Lachlan Murray has missed games .Paudi McGrogan and Niall Loughlin missed most of the league after coming back from surgery.

Players like Jack Doherty & Callum McGrogan were brought in, and have since dropped off.

Jesus it's been a messy season, personnel wise, when you see it laid out like that.

If Donegal beat us, what is the time frame between that and our next game? I think that's the rout we'll go, and we'll need as many men back as possible to salvage the season from there. And that's with the fingers crossed that we don't pick up any additional injuries between now & then.

Not that it's happening, BUT if Donegal did manage to beat us, looks like the 1st round of group games is 17/18th or 24/25th May.. Some break (which won't have)
