Derry Senior Championship Thread 2024

[Wildweasel74]

A bad goal and a point apiece between 2 of the so called better teams in the county after 25mins, Shocking stuff!

[Brendan]

This is questionably the worst 20minutes of gaelic football I've ever watched. Gilligan sounds mortified. Rule changes can't come quick enough.

Like he said though these 2 are known for this rubbish so why did RTE choose to show it in the first place?

Have you just woken up from a 10 year coma?

The junior final today was a great watch, both teams kept 2 men up the field the entire game. Seriously competitive, hammer and tongs stuff. This stuff is the risk averse football that has the need for the FRC

Because the Derry CB obviously wanted the Glen Slaughtneil game. Rte don't dictate to the CBs

[JoG2]

Summed up by Herron being feard to shoot from 40m into an empty net, instead, gets turned over

[Wildweasel74]

15 men behind a ball in club fball a horrible watch.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Anyone surprised this isn't great doesn't watch much club football

[jb77]

I've watched both these sides this year play far better ball, but they're so afraid of losing they cant put themselves in position to win

Derry club game on national TV featuring not especially well known sides. Imagine that.

And suprise or not, it's still appalling, in both intent and execution. Some of the handling has been abominable.

I raise you Brigids v Cargin the other week!

Big mistake from whoever decided to put this game on TV. Neutrals would have still gone to Glen Slaughtneil if on RTE providing some atmosphere. And with both clubs having a profile beyond Derry even if it was rubbish would still have provided interest to viewers.
With respect to both clubs tonight very few going to choose a cold night in owenbeg to watch them. It has made Derry GAA look a bit small time.

[marty34]

Wtf is Gilligan talking about?

He says 'technically it's a free'.

He's said it twice.

If it's technically a free, it's a free.

And he's supposed to be a high level coach. FFS.

I'm not from Derry but I agree, also the Sky guide RTE said this was the Derry football final and I assumed it was Glen Slaughtneil until I tuned in.

No idea why RTE picked this, to be honest at this stage RTE and TG4 should be just showing county finals even if they're from smaller counties.

No finals on a Saturday evening.

TG4 has that covered on a Sunday.

[KingKong1]

Awful viewing here. It'll be an also ran in the final regardless of who gets there

[gallsman]

Thought the story was that Derry CB wanted to keep tomorrow's game for itself, no?
