    Harps biggest Rivals aren’t Derry. It’s a Hard Brexit.

    I was going to go with the 'British when it suits' angle, but thought that might just stir the pot the wrong way..

    I thought the North were talking about flights being banned from the UK? Im seriously confused..

    Also I saw Celtic play PSG in a friendly in Paris how they manage that considering the ban on flights at present for non essential travel?
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    Do all the Derry players live in the north? I would have thought a couple of them were living in Donegal.

    A lot of talking has to take place before any actual decisions are made, especially if there is any of this All-Island malarkey involved (just ask Kieran Lucid about it...). There arent really bans in place, more travel advisories and hope that peoplle who do travel abroad do right thing upon return. In the mean time both RoI and UK borders on covid are only as strong as each others and we havent been able to follow up on 14 day self isolating protocols from non 'green listed' countries - what tourist is going to fly in and sit in a hotel for two weeks!? So based on just scale rather than the more lax attitude, there is damn all chance that the UK are managing to enforce self isolation protocols either! The only silver lining from a pandemic/hard brexit combo might just be a pragmatic decision in Belfast to think more island wide than a bridge to London. Which means that an 'Irish' bubble is at least an option if the virus keeps resurging.

    A lot of the players live in Donegal and the entirety of the teams training to date has been done in the south staring at Aileach FC (Inch, Donegal) then Abbotstown so I am not sure how it works out.

    So these players who live in the South should be quarantining following a trip to Scotland then?

    Should be of course. It’s off now anyway due to the quarantine period as we would have only had 9 days prior to facing Pats in Dublin and obviously a 14 day quarantine period would be required for everyone.

    Nothing to do with football but it highlights the nonsense of having different requirements either side of a non existent border.

    NI Executive are arranging to get together with Dublin and London to sort out the rules. Should have been done a few months ago, but still good to see.

    On the Celtic friendly, they've offered to arrange a new date in the future. Dundalk offered the same? All for overseas friendlies, an excuse for an away trip.
    Have you ever won the treble?

    Bray Wanderers 1-0 Waterford. Bray the better team without creating much, Waterford very poor constantly resorting to fouls. The goal came from a goalkeeper blunder, Joe Doyle on hand to stick it in.

    We won 2-0 against Galway. Ronan Coughlan with both.

    Galway did a super job with the stream for the game.
