Derry v Galway AISF Sat 9th July 5.30pm Croke Park

[RedHand88]

Think it's a toss up at this stage. A lot will depend on Galway injuries and any suspensions that might come their way!

And will depend if Galway management has the street smarts to drop Gleeson in goal. Rory Gallagher will be doing some amount of spitting on his hands if he starts.

...and if he doesn't

Won't stop him spitting on his hands

He'd need to be careful with that craic. Covid is on the rise. Wouldn't want an outbreak ahead of the semi.

The likes of Rory started Covid not some poor auld monkey in a lab in China.

[Milltown Row2]

Joyce was spitting on hand's also

[smort]

Is the hand spitting more contagious than Covid?

[clarshack]

Just can't get my head around how an inter county keeper can be so bad under a high ball?

They won't drop Gleeson not a chance.
Anyone that watches us on a regular basis knows how much of a liability he is.
But they are not about to drop him now for a guy that's never played even a league game

What about putting an out-field goalie in nets?

Who's the 3rd mid-fielder for Galway?

Now in fairness, they were great balls into the square - hung in their nicely.

Funny for all the tactics in football nowadays, it's hard to beat the big dig into the square to cause pure panic in every team.

I think as it's never hardly used nowadays that teams at training never use it, then if it happens in a match, it becomes a pure panic session in there.

Qho's the 3rd mid-fielder for Galway?

Genuinely we barely have a midfielder on the panel.
Conroy Tierney Niall Daly play there from time to time.
McDaid isn't a midfielder.
Like it's been well flagged for the last two years now how poor he is.
Maybe today is the day the wider public have seen it

He'll not be as dodgy again. 

His kick-outs are good enough.

[tbrick18]

Derry will need to improve on the performance against Clare.
But if we do, we can win.
Galway are  avoid side and have already handed us our arses this year so will be confident. They are a bit of a bogey team for Derry.
Derry playing at their best can be a match for anyone.

Interesting game and suspensions from the melee could come into play.

Having watched all the games this weekend, there were no stand out favourites for AI glory imo.

I think today his kick outs were decent.
Normally though they are highly dodgy

Saw Joyce doing a bit of the spitting today too. Suppose like everything else, if you see it working for somebody else, you've got to give it a go just in case it gives you the extra 1%😁

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Hope Seán Kelly gets his suspension over-turned and is available for the semi-final.

How he was sent off and Comer wasn't is shocking.

[screenexile]

Bookies have us one point favourites.

It's a fascinating game especially given the league meeting where Galway beat us out the gate. As far as I remember we were only missing McGuigan that day but we've obviously done so much work since then and improved massively.

Really really looking forward to it!!

You're awful sore on players representing your county.
