SIDELINE VIEW: Put an end to change and the grey areas

Fair play to Stephen Baxter. The Crusaders manager has a right to feel aggrieved after Michael Ruddy's penalty, the final kick of 10 in a penalty shoot-out, was ruled out despite being well over the line. If he was angry, he certainly wasn't ...

Sideline View: Time for all codes to unite

One of the greatest mysteries has always been why all facets of the greater GAA family don't dine at the same table. Ladies football and camogie, while they bring so much to the association, are still on the fringes. To a few, they have the ...

SIDELINE VIEW: County panellists must be guaranteed regular action under split season format

Last week's announcement of the GAA's split-season proposals was music to the ears of this column. It's a brilliant idea altogether. While I still feel the association's leadership are well off the mark on the U13, U15 and U17 gradings – ...

SIDELINE VIEW: Everyone deserves a chance to grow

It was a sunny Tuesday evening, a few years back, early in the underage season. While out for a spin on the bike, I called in to run my eye over an underage game. As I nestled into a spot along the wire, two parents, from the same ...

Opinion: Setting the proper benchmark

“Daddy, why am I always a sub?” How are we supposed to answer a question like that from an underage player? The word that sticks out is 'always'. Is it any wonder after weeks, months and years of looking out at their peers ...

Sideline View: Dear Santa...please bring us some consistency

Over the holidays, my daughter was making out her Santa list and browsing through catalogues for ideas. Lego, Barbie and LOL dolls are all in vogue at the minute. Thankfully the bearded one is classed as an essential ...

Remember the front line heroes, but don't forget about the children

Lockdown has lasted that long, I am actually beginning to get used to the new normal. Tuesday saw the ninth edition of the County Derry Post without a match report, without an athletics update and without any kind ...

SIDELINE VIEW: Leagues aren't always for playing in

When is an elite player not an elite player? Well, that's the question the GAA community have been asking each other over the last week. With inter-county squads, who prepare extremely diligently, not deemed as ...

Opinion: Clubs need to make their voice heard against GAA own goal

Some things just make you tear your hair out, well...at least what's left of it. In one regard, last Saturday was an exciting day for Derry. Beating Longford was irrelevant, it was the manner that was ...
