Quote from: Mario on July 18, 2023, 08:21:08 PMQuote from: Fuzzman on July 18, 2023, 05:28:34 PMYeah it was poor from him, was also poor from Clifford for Derrys goal, he let Rogers run past him.
Did nobody else think Glass was at fault for the Kerry goal?
I know I said before that White is fast but Glass seemed to let him go.
Not sure would McKinless or others have done the same.
I see a lot of posts about Derry changing their style. I don't think they really did, they attacked with 15 and defended with 15 like they always do, they pressed the kick outs like they always do, they used Lynch as a spare man out the field like they always do, they went for goals like they always do.
They've put in very good attacking displays before playing like this which the media fail to acknowledge (eg All Ulster champ games in last 2 years bar the finals, Clare last year, Donegal this year, all the Div 2 games they won at a canter). The boring games are when teams replicate them and there have been a few high profile games like this eg the last 2 Ulster finals, Galway last year, Cork. The main difference was how Kerry set up against them imo.

Galway won well in the end last year due to 2 bad errors for goals. Derry should been 1.05 to no score up, not 3 pts. Galway didn't score for 25mins. Glass point not counted, Derry need 2 new forwards that common knowledge, it's the reason we can't actually expand more. Next year I expect Murray, McWillians and Downey to regularly start and they have more a cutting edge. Lad's are always injured alot though compared to the other players. Am just looking at not losing a game as bad as Mayo/ Tyrone, what's the point of it been a great game for the viewers if u beat out of the field.

For Derry what counts is the narrative. They need to do better than the Galway match last year. They won't be able to run the paranoid defence for 75 minutes. They need a plan B. They need to be accurate.They do not want to get hammered again. That would make the drive back to Derry very difficult.

It will be a difficult approach I feel, tactically do Derry stick with cautious defensive early approach and take advantages of counter attacking Kerry?
Or do they say, f**k it, let's go out and die with our boots on and unlock the chains?
Derry will definitely go with the cautious defensive approach. In fact, i think they go back to the tactics that served them well in 2022. Ultra defensive, intense, counter attacking. All 15 within their own 45. 2023 has saw them commit bodies further forward, but this approach will be cast aside on Sunday.
Glass in particular will have to maintain a position quite close to his full back line. Derry will be susceptible to direct high ball into Guiney and D Clifford.
Have Derry senior footballers ever beaten Kerry in a championship match in their history?

That's Ridiculous, 9 games to win a Derry Championship. another 5 for an All-Ireland. Talk about increasing county players burnout. This format will totally pole axe whoever comes out of, Derry. To even win a Ulster Championship. What bright spark thought this one up. Git the sniff of a money Making scheme about it.

Derry and Dublin had a mental dingdong in the 80's with bottles flying.Quote from: Derryman forever on July 05, 2023, 11:49:14 AMAh lads.
I was at a munster final in 1974, and there was a fracas on the hill, and while iI didn't see it myself i was told at least one person produced a knife.
The crowd scattered to the 4 winds but it was all over in a couple of minutes or less.
It's rare but it's not new

For all Mayos 1st half play dublin were 1 ahead at the break and they'd kicked 3 balls into the keepers hands plus a few bad wides.

15 mins played. Dublin 0-3 Mayo 0-3. Goal for Dublin 1-3 to 0-4!

Couldn't really understand how Tyrone were being talked about in this conversation ... they've a long way to go to get back!!
Kerry not taking Tyrone on in midfield is the winning of it and I don't know why Tyrone have been giving the ball up short all day MF is their strongest line.

Best draw Derry could have got at this stage.
Cork have improved a fair bit since we played them in the league.
I reckon we are at the same level as we were back then....so I think this will be a closer tougher game than people think.
Derry should win, but I wouldn't expect it to be easy.
Happy to avoid Mayo tbh.

It's a sellout ?

If Cork can beat Mayo then they have a good chance against Roscommon.

I've decided to wait on Killarney for next weekend rather than go to Leitrim this weekend. What a shitty ground and venue for such a game, the low crowd and slow uptake in tickets says it all. Was not a game for Croker either as it would only have been 1/3 full...possible double header with 50-60k but the ideal ground would have been Brefni Pk or Tullamore etc. Anyway I expect Armagh to put up another gallant performance but still lose and play Kerry the following weekend which will probably be the end of their season (hope i'm wrong on both). This format is crap and fully expect change next year...The dates are a load of bollix...The Inter County season to be over by the end of July is shocking...
