Enjoyable first match but the Sligo wide count....
2nd game was over well before ht even.
Should be a great Final.
Only down side will be people having to pay €50 due to it being paired with a Sam Semi Final that neither set if supporters will have that much interest in.
Maybe it's just me, but with the number of false dawns we've had with Derry over the last 25 years, its difficult for me to go to any game in absolute confidence that we're going to win. I remember going to Longford full of confidence in the qualifiers and getting turned over. On paper that should never have happened.
We "should" win.
We beat them in the league and we've arguably beaten stronger sides to get to the quarter final than Clare have.
But....championship is championship and we're not a well enough proven team to be sooo confident in our ability to beat Clare in a QF.
If Derry have their feet on the ground and if we have no major injuries AND if Clare don't bring a whole new level to their game against us (which can happen at this stage in the championship - see Tyrone last year) AND we don't have some ridiculous bit of refereeing then we should win.
Clare have nothing to lose here, no expectation off them and so no pressure. It's set up perfectly for them and they'll see it as a chance to get to an AIF too. Clare should lift their game, might get the rub of the green here or there and perhaps get a favourable referee. That tips the scales back a bit towards them.
Lots of if's in there and that's where the doubt comes in from my point of view.
Still really looking forward to it, especially taking the kids to see Derry in CP for the first time.
It's all well setup this year for a big game with you and Creggan. Should be interesting.
Derry v Armagh is almost a cert.

McGuinness and Canavan criticise Croke Park for the games. Also interesting they suggest Mayo could not find a hotel in Dublin and will be traveling up and back to Mayo tonight
