Well done on winning the minor title today.
Some fine footballers on show.
Best of luck against Kerry next week also.

Thanks a lot. Based on the previous meetings it was one that looked as if it could go either way. With that big Monaghan support it looked as if your lads would get some lift. Strange not to really go for it with the wind that first half and get that crowd fired up. There could be a few lads from both squads capable of pushing on. Both counties have had some big games and a lot to build on. Good luck to yoursevles next Saturday

It is the 30th anniversary today of the 1993 semi final. I thought the Derry social media pages would have posted something.

interesting line up tonight.

I know its 'only' the mckenna but cant remember in my life time seeing 3 city lads on the team never mind 3 from the same club.

3 lads from my club steelstown playing tonight and hoping they can make a big impression

As a City man myself it was great to see the guys do well. Certainly showed they can offer something to the squad going forward. My wee boy is 5 and he is starting up at Steelstown soon and it's great to see the young lads leading the way at the club.

I see from the Irish News that Rory Gallagher is fully intended to return to Inter county management 'in the near future" and his solicitor wrote to the Derry County Board to tell them as much. Is the prodigal son about to make a return? I despair if it's on the cards.....

The Derry County Board have issued a statement rejecting any return to the Derry management but they haven't said why or on what grounds they have made this decision.
They owe an explanation to the Derry support and to anyone else who believes that RG should have been properly and fairly assessed and interviewed for the position same as everybody else although at this point in time - 11 weeks after the closing date - I don't have a baldies notion if anybody was interviewed.
Bloody shambles...

The word is that the county Board have been trying to appoint Gallagher, but that the water testing statements released that he was the favourite to take the job etc met with such a negative reaction they have taken cold feet.

I have heard on the grapevine that Mark Doran is possibly being announced in the next few days. Paddy Bradley rumoured to be involved in some capacity. Don't know how true it is mind you because there has been rumour after rumour.
