ANGRY DERRY MANAGER Brian McIver resigned as Derry boss after he saw his side exit the football championship after a poor display against Galway.
Danny Cummins’ goal seven minutes from time wrapped up the win, but McIver was left enraged when referee Conor Lane didn’t award Derry a penalty at the other end following a challenge by Finian Hanley on Cailean O’Boyle.
“I have given my life in terms of the GAA. I had to go into a bunch of players there and thank them for all of their work.
“I just can’t handle refereeing decisions like that any longer. I have had to step down,” said a furious McIver.

Easy to see where the FAI don’t spend their money anyway. The state of the trophy.
Well deserved. No one was ever going to pip him for that!
He must be delighted with that green box he got. Wow. I’m sure it will take pride of place in his recycling bin.
