Would be great if the GAA would ban  that sc**bag Cathal Heneghan for the rest of the championship which he deserves for such a dangerous and cowardly act, but we know he'll miss no game of consequence.

That's nasty looking alright. No doubt bout intent there.

[marty34]

That's what Jarlath Burns' legacy should be as President.

Stamping, if you pardon the pun, out stuff like this and clean up the game.

Disclipline, or lack of it, is a serious issue with incidents like this and lads assaulting refs in club games etc.

[yellowcard]

Definitely doesn't look great. Only he can answer whether there was intent but if it was deliberate then he deserves a 12 week ban.

Is it though? I think the game has never been saner, it's become almost a non contact sport where lads are getting yellow cards for personal fouls.

For intent is carries a two match ban. League and championship connected now so if banned he'd miss the Derry match next Sunday and championship opener v Mayo.

For an incident like that, if it is deliberate then 2 matches is nowhere near enough. The difficulty will be trying to prove it was deliberate. The player could easily claim it was accidental, only he can answer that.

Thought it was a candid and insightful interview compared to some of the nonsense that is dished out by county managers.

It's not Dublin, they everybodys problem not just Derry. I think Derry people can see we short 1/2 consistent  scoring forwards, rest of the team improved with cover at Defence and Midfield. Even with Paudie Tad and Paul McNeill not tere this year, the sub bench looks stronger. Had we Canavan beside McGuigan we been in some position.

It's been a strange league with a lot of shadow boxing at different stages. It's probably difficult to properly assess where everyone is at. Also nobody needs to peak until the middle/end of May really so a lot can change between now and then.

I think we're stronger than last year but so are Armagh and Donegal.

Mayo/Galway/Monaghan/Ros look to have regressed a bit and Kerry/Tyrone around the same level.

I don't think any of us will challenge the Dubs come championship though.

[Wildweasel74]

The difference is most teams have either 1 or 2 good scoring forwards, Kerry have 3 but ain't great at Midfield, Dublin got 5/6 plus Fenton from Midfield, that's why they do hard to stop, too many scoring forwards.

I wouldn't underestimate the Rossies. They are going to aim to go further than last year

Like a dog lying in a corner
They'll bite you and never warn you.
Look out.
They'll tear your insides out

If that's accidental you put your hands up and turn around and check if the lads alright. No way he didn't realise he did it.

Kerry v Galway the TG4 live game this Sunday and with all other matches on at the same time they'll be doing live updates from the other Division 1 games.

Listened to RTE's podcast there how can they get it so wrong? The whole point of a podcast is the fact you aren't as inhibited with time as you would be on the radio or TV yet RTE have 35 mins devoted to a full weekend of 16 games and only talked about 4 of them!!

Surely they have to decouple football from Hurling so they can spend more time talking about games. There are enough podcasts out there that they should see what is good content and realise their own is dross!!

Typical RTÉ!

That clown McCluskey from Fermanagh predicted wins for Fermanagh & Cavan at the weekend.... just the combined 39 points defeat....

And don't get me started on Staunton on TSG... Her playing career is unbelievable, but has the personality & voice that would put it on mute.
