Derry Club Football & Hurling original

Mayo the strongest of the 4 on that side, Tyrone not wana be getting smoked by Kerry or Dublin. If we play Tyrone, we beat them. We a better team outsude if their 2 corner forwards. Still think we draw Cork.

Tyrone are a better team in every line except for the half back line

Lines are really important now - especially the yellow line down McCurry's jersey.

Not even remotely witty

Speaking of lines any word from ure man

Wasn't meant to be - just true.

There are Tyrone threads.

I expect a similar QF to last year. Blow them out of the water early and cruise to a semi.
Cork have already overachieved now and could be caught out
Not to get ahead of ourselves but if thats the case, Derry could struggle in a semifinal again after not being REALLY tested until that point

Do you realise the Ulster Final went to penalties and you drew with Monaghan?

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.

agreed best draw for sure.
Derry didn't have McFaul when we played them in league though.
He'll be the difference.
Derry 4 Sam sur!

Totally agree. Mayo were the team to avoid out of who we could've got. Cork will be tough, as they've improved significantly and have momentum, but it's a winnable game. It should be a real physical battle also so if we come through it will be better preparation for a semi than last years qf.

The quarter final last year was a great confidence builder, Derry were not undercooked going into the semi. They'd just about bested Donegal and had a real battle vs Monaghan too.
They lost because Galway got their tactics spot on (not to mention the gaa/ref making up new rules around Hawkeye) and comer came good.
This will be a tough game and it may not be any easier than mayo would have been - in a way I wanted mayo as we'd have been under no illusions about how tough that would be.
Kerry just about scraped by against cork and they've just beaten mayo and Roscommon in succession, no easy games in the most open championship I can remember.

Heard Gallagher still secretly involved in the Derry team. Unbelievable. You can bate the u know what but u cant bate the rub 4 Sam.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Knockout football sure brings out the special ones
