Cavan way way off the standard at this level unfortunately. That was no more than a challenge game for Mayo

Cavan have to be the most inconsistent team around at the moment? Last championship match able to bring Tyrone to extra time and today not able to give Mayo a decent game.  Tyrone and Mayo are around the same level.   In the league this year able to give Donegal a competitive match and then Cavan was truly useless against Armagh.

In fairness Harte did a super job with Louth.

Considering Louths performance against Dublin last week.. ?

They were div 4 when he took over. Would they have done as well against Dublin or even got to a Leinster final without the work Harte put in?

No is the short answer. Tyrone heads trying to belittle what Harte has done in his management career especially with Tyrone is mildly amusing and now bitter that he's managing Derry.

What has mickey done since 2008? Hasn't beaten mayo,kerry or dublin in 16 years of championship football. I said years ago he should have left tyrone. These are facts.

Tyrone could well be on zero senior All Ireland titles right now but for what Harte did. Even the last covid All Ireland won in 2021 it was a Tyrone side built by Mickey Harte. True facts is some of you Tyrone heads are very ungrateful.

Derry winless against Galway in the championship and will be thanks to McKinless today.

Just Padraig McGrogan that featured in the match against Galway in the league game not named on that Derry 26 and he's replaced by McKinless. A depleted side and potential injury crisis?

Another half to play however Leeds United have  more or less sealed a place in Championship play off final. Who would they Leeds United prefer in the final Southampton or West Brom?

Can anyone from Dublin tell me why Ciarán Archer who would be around 24 now hasn't made the step up to Dublin senior team and is he even on the panel at the moment?

A talented player but don't think he better than what on panel now. Quality freetaker but for me doesn't do enough from play  and without the ball. He was on senior panel in 2022 but picked up an injury and never got back in.

A few of the forwards on the Dublin panel at the moment Ross McGarry,Killian O'Gara,Lorcan O'Dell,Killian McGinnis. He must have fallen back a fair bit from his days standing out at U20 level if not better than some of them now.

They make you work to find them!!

CS I'm an antrim man. We'd a good win against Tipp though they did give us a few problems which was worrying. I think Sligo might be too much for us so Wexford a big game for us. It is 2 go through and not 3 right?? (3 going through in a 4 team group like the sam maguire is ridiculous).

Only two in one group as doesn't New York take the place of the worst 3rd placed team?

As seen with the Super 8s two into the knock out stages means more dead rubber round 3 group games.

No version of Derry has ever beaten Galway in championship, you can be sure that will be a factor on saturday.

Janey, even Armagh has beaten Galway.

Derry wans trying their hand at the cute hoorism here? Sure Derry were in the big three talk with Dublin and Kerry not just a few weeks ago.

Conversation of the big three talk will be back on should Derry win this weekend.  A win will put them in the box seat to top the group and then perhaps talking on a Mayo,Tyrone or Monaghan in the last eight tie that they'll be expected to win.  Should Dublin play Kerry in one semi final you could be looking at All Ireland final spot for Derry yet.

If we beat Galway with a depleted side undoubtedly those conversations will happen in the media.
But if we get beaten in the manner we did against Donegal - regardless of team on the field, the talk will be of the wheels coming off in the media.
Fine lines between being top 3 and an also ran in the media sphere.
I'd love to win, but if we lose I'm more interested in a good performance as 2 bad ones in a row will do nothing for confidence.

You beat Galway in Salthill with this team by a bit to spare a few months ago.

Ryan Scullion; Diarmuid Baker, Chrissy McKaigue, Conor McCluskey; Conor Doherty, Eoin McEvoy, Padraig McGrogan; Conor Glass (captain), Brendan Rogers; Ethan Doherty, Ciarán McFaul, Paul Cassidy; Niall Loughlin, Shane McGuigan, Declan Cassidy.

Subs: Niall Toner for Conor Doherty inj. (35), Donnacha Gilmore for Declan Cassidy (50), Lachlan Murray for Loughlin (56), Eunan Mulholland for Paul Cassidy (65).


Other than Padraig McGrogan who will be missing for Derry this weekend?

When the Tailteann Cup was first brought in many journalist and pundits said it would stop one sided games? of course that proved to be nonsense as will always be one sided games.  Meanwhile Munster and Leinster finals were meant to be whitewash wins for Kerry,Dublin so credit to Louth and Clare for giving a good account of themselves.


 

It's funny how you have to make up stuff, shows how rattled you actually are...
 

Nothing I said on this thread today was made up.  As Liverpool supporter you need to accept that Klopp's men allowed this league title slip through their fingers than letting it rattle you.

Jesus lads can you's not leave the Armagh slagging to the gaa threads, come to this part of the forum for a break from it lol

Slagging from a lad from Laois is humorous though. 

Laois  You're badly rattled, trueblue has made a fool of you on this
