well scripted tbrick. a good and fair analysis

lads if dublin dont win leinster 08  and go on to win the all-ireland there wouldnt be a peep out of ye's. An all ireland title is an all ireland title regardless of who hold's the provincial.  and sligo would defo trade it. sure they have they easy side of the draw

i dont want to talk about teams that are no longer in contention gnevin.  but answer me this- Would sligo trade their provincial title to be in the semi's!?- honest answer required

Its simple lads. as previously pointed out ulster football is more of a mindfield. provinicial titles have meant nothing other than bragging rights since the back door has been introduced. the best team will win on sinday and they are both good teams. am very worried by the massive support the dubs have plus the refs decisions though.

I think the result on saturday should clear this issue up.  I have no doubt that dublin have a good forward line but i wouldnt say better.  On their day both teams have a great forward lines with doire relying on bradleys frees and dublin relying on Vaughans, although i rate bradely as a better footballer and muldoon should he be deployed in the ff line.  i cant comment on colin devlin although i hope he rises to the challenge. all in all, think it will be a deadly match which will be won by the best forward line.

[I would rate the Dublin forwards as a better forward line...]

There is a difference between turning the very small physically light Laois defenders over especially when they have no targets up front to kick the ball to and the Dublin defenders....They will also have a far harder time winning the ball and will be getting less quality ball than they did against Laois....

Laois still scored 2-11 against such a strong Derry defence and caused problems anytime they put a high ball into the full back line....which admittedly wasn't many times...and I would rate the Dublin forwards as a better forward line...

Have you been drinking as well!?

It's hard to see Derry beating Dublin , Dublin are a level if not 2 above

Have you been drinking son? Dublin v Laois was some of the sloppiest football played ive ever witnessed. Bring on saturday and we'll see who's on what level.

Couldnt agree with you more southderry. valid point

[Amazing listening to the Derry folk here that you would think that they had so many brilliant footballers and yet they can barely win a provincial game...if players are so good then they wouldn't have played 19 qualifier games because they are incapable of winning an Ulster match....]

Loup....Nice seats!!!!!

Well that obviously indicates the different level of football.  Lets not forget that Ulster has provided some of the best teams in recent years.  Derry would have certainly won alot more provincial titles should let have been up against the same standard of teams hailing from leinster.

There should be no problems with any derry fans getting tickets for this weekend's big game.  Urge all the oakleafers you know to get out and support the team.

I notice screen that you have left Paddy B out? Was that a mistake because they'll need him to win anything this year. think he's due one if he puts the work in

lads when its comes to wemen on the street there is only two fine lassies- Annalise & Beth

i wouldnt be suprised if wenger enquired about michael owen. not suprised at all. henry was a legend but a player with constant injury is no good to anyone

lads am a massive neighbours fan.  but stinger wasnt that great. in fact he was one of the most annoyin people in the show.  However, his entrance to the show was unreal when chooka caught him doing the streak. lethal. RIP

i reckon dempsey a pretty good song writer.  Been to afew of his gigs now.  everyone is entitled to their opinion but it was top drawer stuff.
