Cahir O'Kane shouldn't report on Derry games. His fanboy analysis in yesterday's Irish News was a joke and I was actually going to mention it here - but probably wasn't confident enough in the outcome of the game to do it!

Comprehensive scoreline in the end I suppose. Is an inevitability about it. Can't understand the default position of taking off McCurry.. and putting on McShane..

Was Petey came on for McCurry

I'm aware of that hence the... before McShane reference. Not saying he put McShane on for McCurry

Was fairly confident we would do ok today but the injuries prior to the game were worrying.  So wasn't expecting a walk in the park like that.  Says something about our strength in depth that we didn't miss the two critical players.  Derry were far too open and niaive.  Good to see us keep men up rather than go into the 15 behind the ball crap.  Despite all the stuff about Armagh losing big games in the past couple of years - Derry were no better than us last year, neither were Monaghan or this year, Donegal. They beat us on penalties but they weren't better teams on the day.  So Armagh have been thereabouts and showed it again today.

What Galway turns up against  Armagh depends on injuries

You'd be hoping Fermanagh out of those three

I don't think that's McEntee's mindset at all.  He'll be thinking let's take out a 'big' team. Sort of mentality that might actually see Antrim win something. I'm old enough to remember Andy had his critics, but he's doing well overall imo.

Those three teams are bigger than us currently and beating them would be an achievement

Kerry sauntering to a win against Meath.  A waste of diesel for all concerned. A good advert for All Ireland Senior, Intermediate and Junior Championships.  Something most of us are well used to at club level so no big mental adjustment for senior inter county. Having the Tailteann isn't enough.

Yes, you could add other areas to the Junior Championship like Warwickshire, Kilkenny, Scotland, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Boston.

It'd be great for spreading the game and a Junior Championship could see Waterford, Carlow, Leitrim win an AI title.

Get it done

Absolute shambles of a performance.
Goals win games, that's 9 conceded and 0 scored in 3 Championship games.
People in the crowd still blaming Lynch despite the fact the ball is being turned over inside the opposition 45.
First two goals were criminal mistakes from McCloskey and Rogers.
Two weeks to the Westmeath game, wouldn't be surprised to see a few more defections.

A keeper has zero chance of saving a shot after scrambling back towards his own line

Had he remained on his line he still would've had zero chance of saving either of the first two goals.

far better chance in saving a goal when meeting a player head on rather than scrambling back and turing round trying to save a shot

Why was Lynch even off his line though.

Because gavin devlin was in front of me screaming at him to push up anytime he tried to stay back

Well mickey harte did say gavin devlin was a tactical genius who never gets enough credit...
