Derry football boss Paddy Crozier says the rule that allows universities have first call on county players has left one of his goalkeepers in a state of "limbo". Glenullin clubman Eoin McNicholl - a student at UUJ - travelled with the Derry squad to Celtic Park to face Cavan last Sunday but ended up not getting a game with either his college or county because McNicholl had been named on the Jordanstown panel he was precluded from playing with the Oak Leafers. "We were under the impression that he was involved with us, but when we named him in our panel the Ulster Council told us that he had already been named in the Jordanstown panel so we couldn't use him," claimed Derry boss Crozier. "It's now left that the fella isn't fit to play football in the McKenna Cup. We wanted to see him but he can't be involved. "He's not playing for Jordanstown and he's not playing for Derry so he's in limbo." Tweet
