With Roscommon getting beat today, are we any closer to understanding who Derry can play next?
I just can't work it out.

We can play either Clare/Mayo/Armagh/Cork or Limerick

Of those teams, I'd be most worried about Armagh.

Fair bit of arrogance in the Oak Leaf county atm.

Every one of those counties hoping to draw us.

100%

We should be hoping for Limerick or Cork.

The other games are a toss up and Mayo would be favourites against us by a good 4-6pts!

When the alternatives are Kerry, Dublin or Galway of course Derry are the draw they're looking for, then Galway. Every team at this point could give Derry a game, nobody to fear though and maybe wouldn't suit Derry to be favs as they would against cork, lim or Clare. Armagh or mayo be tough, but might suit better?

How could there be any arrogance (which there really isn't, more heady excitement being at this stage of the championship for the first time in a long time) since we haven't progressed in the last few years. Defies logic

Not arrogance. Looking at form.
Derry should be more than a match for Clare, cork or Limerick.
Mayo are stuttering and I think Derry could turn them over.
Armagh are improving and if they beat Donegal will be a serious contender.
It wouldn't surprise me if any of these teams beat us, especially after the celebrations following the first Ulster in 25 years, but my point was that out if all those teams I think Armagh will be the most dangerous for Derry.

In the long term it doesn't matter, nobody beat Dublin, but Kerry could be turned if they beat Dublin. Am just Happy to win an Ulster after so long, seen many a better Derry team panel wise win nothing. It be nice to at least make your semi final.

Exactly. No arrogance, just excitement. No harm in that.

We're in bonus territory, no matter what happens it's been a season exceeding the expectations of most.
But no harm in dreaming!

Minors v Gaillimh.

tbrick18 · June 12, 2022, 07:08:21 PM

Some win for Armagh.
I'd Def want to avoid them in the draw.

So we can play Armagh, Mayo, Cork or Clare.

Cork or Clare would be who you'd want.

Progress back from a place we never should have been to a place we never should have dropped below?

Bit to go yet before pride is fully restored.
As a matter of interest, what would be your 'success criteria" for Derry under Gallagher in the next 12 months? Or under any manager?

The year we were relegated from div 3, Armagh were promoted to div 2. I'd take where Armagh are now.

Any further questions?
As a matter of interest, are we above Armagh now?

Squeaky bum time for us now!

Even we were to lose the 1/4
An ulster final win is still a great season

Absolutely Hoof, and what a great day it was down in Clones. To get to a knockout q/f @ Croke Pk with a decent chance of progressing further is a real bonus. We've had the kids down for various league finals, but not down for a championship game. Good times and memories for a lifetime
