You have been taking lessons then from Charlie Collins commentating on Donegal matches?

Unless I have a few pints beforehand.

And I fully intend to have a few pints beforehand.

hey lets face it how many players are we going to know anyway... or at least recognise... accurate descriptions like Athlone's "homeless man" really helps us picture them

[overshoot]

all very quite here... closed my account for a bit and not a post

least there is some good news lately, 5-1 win in galway, micky funston and mark scoltalk is back, cowan shouldnt be too far either so we may have a defence after the euros! unfortunatley we will be minus mcHugh and clarke for another game and Curtis is the 3rd out for the season with cruciate injury

euro prediction competiton on too for a bit of fun, deadline is friday though

Well after years of never holding the draw on the advertised dates I suppose that comes as no surprise.

[Mr_A]

Ciaran Greene and Paul Simon Tracey have left the club.

harps bet Derry 5-1 in the Danny 'Bomber' Rouse memorial cup today in strabane. always a good news story that
The goals were scored by Jordy Duffy (3) Shane McGinty and Ryan Lonergan.

Team:

Shaun Patton

John McGarvey, Calvin Bradley, Peter Doherty, Dean Bonner

Ryan Lonergan, Ryan Curran, Shane McGinty

Dean McConnell, Jordy Duffy, Gary Merritt

Mervue make the trip to Finn Park on saturday,
Funston and Scoltalk can now play Cowan McHugh and Clarke all back we may actually have a good squad and some optimism. Hutton and wiz have them playing better stuff now and but for a striker may have had some better results lately (so hurray for kev being back!)

a repeat of the 7 goal thriller (and the 748 attendance) last time wouldnt be too bad!
edit - also see its free for u12s til the limerick game in august.... 1 adult, dont think theres a limit on how many you can drag along!

5 goals tonight, mcveigh with his first 2 at senior level, mchugh with the other. good open game played some nice stuff. funston and scoltalk didnt get clearance in time so are still to come in. coll and merritt (and mcveigh when he drifted out) were great inroads down the left. wizzy had a great ball out to merritt for the first goal after breaking up and attack in midfield. nice interplay between mchugh & mcveigh for the second, turned the mervue defence inside out. 3rd from a corner.
ref was decent in the first half but there wasnt really any calls to make, disaster in the second, not sure if she knew which way to point for a free in the end, i think hutton was starting to see the funny side by that stage.

been a while since iv gotton to a game but its a huge improvement performance wise, defence looked a lot more solid with keith back who looked very glad to be back and with 3 points going off at full time. happy out, onwards and upwards

edit-oh yea, had a trip down railway road after, plenty of rebar sticking up out of the ground now, hopefully we will see the main stand and club house starting to properly rise up before summer is over

[AidySevenfold]

Heading for Athlone tomorrow to watch the game. Went to the away game v SD Galway as well so hopefully for a similar outcome...3 points

pretty poor alright, 350ish i think it was. 750 for the fist game with mervue... full groundhopper video up now. match highlights from about 8mins... had their defence kept pretty busy, probably should have been further ahead.
wexford on saturday and off work again and sunday so a hopefully good sporting weekend ahead!

u19s won their first foyle cup game 4-0 v hillsborough. hopefully they will be adding to their 3 trophies! fanad and letterkenny both lost while inishowen drew with ballinamallard. u12s also kicked of with a 4-0 win over armagh city

shams champions league game streamed in srfc.tv too tonight if anyone is interested

After 3 - 4 months of inactivity (other than the grass and weeds growing) a digger is moving around the site of the new stadium. I suppose it's no coincidence that the FAI are in town.

There has been no work done on that site in at least 3 months. That's how long it's been since the steel was erected. So how you seen work going on is beyond me.

[nigeldinho]

Really? Funny how all the founds and steel doesn't settle overnight?

As far as I know, the next round of work is the biggest cost, and the biggest draw-down of grant money, so it'll take longer than most of the work, it's the bulk steel which supposedly is to cost around €1,000,000 itself.

You could forgive the club if the money doesn't come through to get this underway.
