    What's going on with Galway vs Drogheda - strange to see a number of both line-ups officially down as "N/A" on FAI Connect?

    Deserved Sligo lead - for all Derry's possession, no attacking threat so far.

    Thomas and Markey are two empty calorie players.

    Also, why is the Derry pitch so unevenly lit?

    The Sligo player has about 8 yards of space in the middle of the goal…

    Come to think of it, bizarre Derry thought it was a good idea to add two attackers from one of the most anti-football sides of recent times.

    As an outsider, Derry have a lot of money in their center midfield (Clarke, Winchester, McClean) so you'd expect them to hold onto the ball a lot, but then sign two attackers who cant play on the ball (rather love chasing the ball).

    A recipe for making games hard to win and easy to lose.

    It's due to the lighting from the new stand behind the goal.
    As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls

    Good game at RSC last night. Shelbourne totally dominated the 1st half and John Martin gave them the lead.
    Waterford made a triple sub early in 2nd half and Tommy Lonergan headed in to level. We had a few chances to win it and Shels had one near the end too but a draw was fair.
    Good to have the league back after a dark and very wet winter.

    I see the local Derry toerags are at it again. Insert “no coincidence this only happens when Dublin clubs come up”, “we don’t have a problem at the club”, “our security at the Brandywell are grand and everyone exaggerates trouble” etc I look forward to this being swept under the carpet and the club pretending it didn’t happen, for the 100th timehttps://x.com/slbhoy/status/2019916685306745221?s=46

    Great winner for Thomas... Im unsure how he will work out for the season for Derry, but its got a match winner in him.

    Familiar 2025 type of performance from Shels last night, dominated the first half scoring an early goal without sticking the knife in to extend the lead to two or three, then second half giving away a cheap set piece equaliser before we struggled yet again in the final third against a low block while also looking vulnerable to Waterford counter attacks. Fair play to the RSC ground staff that pitch would have took a battering with rain over the previous days and although it was sticky cut-up a bit the pitch held up as good as you could have hoped for under the circumstances
    The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians

    Wouldnt describe Markey as a " chaser" he had a por game last night , but Derry were pretty poor until they used their bench.
    As for Thomas, he is a really good finisher, but 1 goal out if 4 good chances is not good enough.
    Also a temperment issue which he also had with Drogs.Silly yellow and an earler strop at the ref which in any other ground would have been a yellow.
    Sligo in the first half were excellent, poor second half from them, no good options from the bench.Hakiki is developing into a very good player, and will carry them for the season.
    Derry were dreary to watch , the new signings may gell but they wont lay a glove on Shamrock R.this season.

    Nit sure about using bench. Only sub was O’Reilly for Markey. Think Derry still trying to work out best combinations still.

    Fair enough but thought Adam O zReilly had a big impact
    More Sligos poor bench options decidedd the gsme.
    They ere under pressure in the last 25 mins but Hakiki ggoing ogf at 80 mins left them with zero outlet
