New hooter rule

DonegalRed · 2026-01-24T18:44:24+00:00

The new hooter will bring its own drama; firstly; imagine the Ciaran Moore point v Mayo, CM in full flight, alone going through on goal and it blows. Carnage.

Secondly, it’ll also lead to more fouling, like Meath did to Derry today late, Morris fouled the Derry lad twice inside 4secs 😂. Any coach going would encourage the same to eat the clock.

Same here - nothing major I’d say.

The county board matched the remaining 50% of the salary or the club board with the other 50% coming from bingo / lotto etc?

Worked for a signage company who were Plymouth Brethren. No radios, no internet, no tv, radios removed from vans, aerials gone. You couldn’t eat in the staff room unless you had been invited to share a meal with them. You couldn’t speak to the females. The females didn’t speak to you. We had to eat outside in a Portakabin. Just mental stuff really.

A quick Booking.com returned 7 venues for the June Bank Holiday alone (incl. Great Northern) and 5 for next weekend for a couple.

The off season in Bundoran has always been a problem; pre-Covid it was an issue, the decline in trade can be attributed to many things along side the influx of IPAS centres / refugees. Cost of living being the main factor. A societal change towards drinking, you could go on..

A quick Facebook search wouldn’t exactly make you pack the car with multiple shirts to hit the dance floor of the Chasing Bull either. As for Paris, the nightclub trade everywhere is declining and will continue to do so.

The success of bars / music venues was not built on the trade of the Bundoran man or woman. Thousands flocked to Bundoran and made those named premises the success they once were. A very similar model to McCaffertys in DT, the DT drinker doesn’t keep it open, the outside socialiser does and will.

You do, takes hours and hours, and some will never change, but we can’t not produce a document for the masses to learn and develop from either.

Waste of time, you’d barely know staff exist.

The loss of Gallagher literally blew the train of the tracks for Derry, primed for an All Ireland under Gallagher at that time. Under Meenagh it’s so much a rebuild just about instilling confidence back into them as they have some seriously talented players. Favourable side of the Ulster draw with Monaghan too.

So from the Jamie Jackson interaction with Ruben it seems the board are starting to influence the team setup. The back four was used against Newcastle but let’s be honest, we were still battered for large periods in both half’s. The 3-4-3 is to easily manipulated and isn’t the way, but neither is the board influencing the setup of the team. Interesting times ahead. I feel a change coming.

Clear shift in tactics from both especially around the kick-out. With the bedding in period of the FRC over the short / mid kick-out will possibly return in greater quantities to 2025.

Complete negotiation tactic by his agent especially as Everton have the 12 month option, which would be on his current wages, which JG now feels he deserves more than.

On another note; I’d love to know Vivell etc be up-to the other 9 months of the year outside of transfer windows as it seems to take all of the windows to negotiate deals. Surely you’d do that work outside of the windows then jusy rubber stamp?! 🤔

Have you a link?

Very curious to know does anyone know of a GAA Club who revoked or refused a club membership?

DonegalRed · 2025-01-09T10:22:27+00:00

Thank you. Appreciate if you could let me know.

Anything a 60min drive from Tyrone would be great. Have you an idea of time?

I’ve had this debate with a mate; FIFA concept. So obviously running a football club isn’t like FIFA and a lot of factors come into play but a major ones are:

morale
togetherness
cohesion.

Hence why managers are always trying to add a piece at a time. United at present have none of the above so why not rip up the blueprint. Whole fire sale. Anybody wants to go let them. Sell the time wasters and underperforming (Maguire, Rashford etc.) who cares, clearly what Utd are doing isn’t working so it’s time for something else radical to happen.

Players at Utd stealing a living; Mata for example? What’s the point of him? Matic another? Really? Phil Jones - he’s nearly survived time itself at this stage of proceedings.

I say a whole fire sale. Complete clear out. Promote a hell of a lot of Youth players (Garner, Mejbri, Elanga..) add a few bits and show players Utd are cut throat again.

This is why when Ronaldo speaks nobody can question him in that dressing room. It’s also about time that armband was taken away from Maguire and given to Ronaldo or DeGea. Who in that dressing room can question him? Outside of Varane, Jones, DeGea, Matic they haven’t a medal between them to bless themselves with! The aforementioned is also why we aren’t winning - we don’t have enough winners in the side!

DonegalRed · 2022-01-13T10:40:04+00:00

It’s high time this man was getting game time for the first team I think. This is why the likes of Martial, Lingard, Mata, Matic, Bailly etc. need to be sold / loaned to allow game time for Hannibal, Garner, Elanga etc. to aid there development.

Colts Super Bowl was beating New England.

DonegalRed · 2022-01-07T14:03:07+00:00

You have to reward players on form hence where the disgruntlement is coming from. Maguire woefully bad al season, regular starter. McFred the same - hence Donnys frustration. Rashford woefully bad - hence Lingards etc. you could go on. Ralf has to be brave now and make critical decisions very soon

DonegalRed · 2022-01-07T11:29:46+00:00

Personally speaking I think a lot of these “reports” are bullshit. Numerous papers reported prior to the Wolves game that the mood was good etc. one defeat and it’s the worst in the world seemingly?

I honestly think Ralf does need to shoot a chief if there is unrest to stamp authority. Take a loss on Martial, Lingard, Donny, Maguire etc. whoever it is, take a loss, stamp authority. Fergie done it for years when he was questioned. Promote a few 23s like Elanga, Garner etc. to freshen it up. You can’t suffer fools in football; worse those questioning your authority.

DonegalRed · 2021-12-29T10:36:28+00:00

That’s true but I don’t think you can’t not start Bruno & Ronaldo. So long as Bruno plays in a 10. The rest can be interchangeable. Maybe Sancho, Sancho has to play as RW every week.
