Either you too young to remember or you have selective memory. Derry have been at a much lower ebb than this. I think division 3 in the early 80s MickeyMouse (Derry) - Posts: 174 - 12/02/2013 19:21:21 1333049 Link 0 |
Why would anyone start such a thread. As the previous poster states 'you mst be really young'. I also remember watching Derry play in Division 3, that was low and you could complain then. Now you can't make such a statement without backing it up. OakGael (Derry) - Posts: 293 - 13/02/2013 13:59:59 1333395 Link 0 |

I see Hogan stand have ranked them at 17 . I thought that they would be ranked inside the top 16 as they are in div 2 and have 2 wins. derryman (Derry) - Posts: 3246 - 07/03/2013 18:59:39 1344963 Link 0 |
Current ranking probably has something to do with how far we had sunk. Down to 25th or something last year? hermann (Derry) - Posts: 170 - 08/03/2013 13:25:35 1345363 Link 0 |

Having watched Derry a few times in the championship for the past two years I think they have the players but not the right focus or gameplan. John Brennan scoffed at Jim Mc Guinness and his laptop brigade before our Ulster championship final in 2011 but and I had some other Derry people agreeing with him much to my amusement. Derry have a decent set of players and just had the wrong man at the helm but I think Mc Iver will bring Derry football on to the levvel where yous will be competitive again. Give him to the end of the 2014 season and I think you will have seen a massive improvement in performances. I'd nearly hazard a guess by the end of the championship in 2014 yous will be playing Div 1 football and will have knocked out a few big names in the championships either through the front or back door. I wouldn't be as confident of turning Derry over as handy as we did last year with MC Iver in charge. Tir Conaill Abu (Donegal) - Posts: 1636 - 21/03/2013 13:28:11 1353401 Link 0 |
Fair enough analysis TC Abu. In fairness to John Brennan though, most managers two years ago could be seen as dinosaurs when viewed against the McGuinness revolution. hermann (Derry) - Posts: 170 - 22/03/2013 12:18:50 1354021 Link 0 |

Good to dig out the win today when it looked like it might slip away with the momentum Louth had built up, obvious strong character and heart is now a feature this side is building but we need to be more ruthless when ahead particularly with down on the horizon who are a very experienced unit. Massive progress made this season in fairness and I personally didn't expect us to be in this position in Brian McIvors 1st year but after the last few seasons of let downs this is looking like football in August is a realistic ambition.

I agree with you, This_Year, Derry did very well to dig out a result today when it looked like Louth had fought themselves back into a winning position. As well as character, Derry had the courage to get on the ball and keep it when things were getting hectic. Every man showed leadership, nobody hid and they had the skill, self-belief and fitness to dominate the last ten minutes. All in all, a job very well done, congratulations to Brian and all the players. doiregael2 (Derry) - Posts: 334 - 24/03/2013 21:46:12 1355525 Link 0 |

Some of your lads should get oscars for their peformance yesterday. I have never seen diving and acting like it in all my life. Yes you deserved to win but the carry on of some of your players with off the ball incidents was unreal. after our game with Armagh last week I have realised that there is a different mentality in Ulster football joej (Louth) - Posts: 1562 - 25/03/2013 11:26:12 1355707 Link 0 |
There is certainly a different mentality in Louth. It is called the bad loser mentality. derryman (Derry) - Posts: 3246 - 25/03/2013 12:02:21 1355743 Link 0 |
I agree, some Louth posters are bad losers. We have had enough of the "us against them"nonsense on the island. We are all GAA members. Derry and Westmeath are the best sides in the div. closely followed by Laois or Galway(my county) imo. Well done Derry. maroondiesel (Mayo) - Posts: 1061 - 25/03/2013 12:15:52 1355763 Link 0 |
I expect the same response west of the shannon as i get from our neighbours in the north. joej (Louth) - Posts: 1562 - 25/03/2013 12:30:58 1355795 Link 0 |
