Derry going with the same team as the league final.

No real surprise didn't think they'd risk McKinless from the start and he's a great impact sub.

No Murphy on the bench??

It will be interesting to see if Mattie does play at 6. He could add real solidity there potentially if he is back to himself.

"It's not just the removal of the helmet though, it's if you've to stop the play to allow a physio on at all."

If I have to stop play.

Though if a physio comes on and can administer a spray while play continues I'm happy with that, should I have to blow the whistle and the player requires assistance they have to go off, now seeing as it was my first real go at it, I waved the player on rather than waiting for a break, he was genuinely hurt from a tackle from the other team, its a bit unfair surely to disadvantage them twice? 

But is that not wrong, going by them new rules?

Completely

Bitta common sense needs to be applied and while I'm not against following it to the letter, sometimes it's actually counterproductive and not serving the reason why it's introduced

The reason for the new rules is to prevent cynical playacting,  faking injuries to slow the game down like nicky quaid getting something in his eye last year.
If its genuine then it's harsh but if they're acting the bollox then I'd make them wait for the next break in play.

This rule was apparently amended during the week, to include the goalkeeper! Doesn't make much sense.

I said that a few weeks ago that to circumvent all this is for the keeper to go down. The rule didn't mention keepers.

I'd make it another player must stand i  goals and team down to 14 players until next break in play.

Decent enough line up and if Canavan x 2 and McCurry can fire like they are capable of I think we will win with a bit to spare.

Light on the bench in fairness. If things are going wrong then very little to change things.

For all the negativity and apathy there is still a team there that can play some great football. They played a lot of great football in the Monaghan and mayo matches. Darragh canavan is a joy to watch if gets right ball and hopefully ruairi can start living up to his promise.

Given injuries im happy enough with the team out. But if we do get past this one there has to be a more defensive line out the next day out. We've been very open and top teams have really punished that the last two years.

History won't look back on Klopps tenure as well as it should as the number of trophies is going to be dwarved by City which is a real shame

Akin to Dublin v any other county. Who really will give a shite?

In fairness city fans wouldn't fill hill 16
