USFC Armagh v Derry, St Tiernach's Park, Clones, 19th June 2pm

[The Stallion]

It's astonishing how many people have decided Armagh will win based purely on one decent performance against a massively overrated Down side.

I'll be surprised if Derry don't win by at least 4 or 5 points.

The Derry forwards are far too strong for Armagh, and I confidently predict at least 2 goals for Derry.

I'll be back on Sunday evening to boast about my Nostradamus-like predictions coming true.

The Stallion.

True to my word, i'm back to boast about my prediction. They say self-praise is no praise at all - they're wrong.

Great performances all over the park, and man of the match wasn't even on the pitch - John Brennan got it spot on today.

It came as no surprise to see how today panned out, it was shocking how wrong the bookies and pundits were, and there was serious money to be made. Hopefully some of you heeded my tips.

Well done Nostradamus however Derry have to make sure now they don't fall into the same trap as Monaghan did last year.

Brolly and Spillane both backed Donegal today.

Good game of football - biggest problem was that Armagh just didn't win anywhere near enough possession. Not much was made of Derry's midfield but Armagh's midfield hardly had a look-in.

I thought tactically Armagh got a few things wrong. Mallon on Bradley from the start would have made a fair diffence. Also taking Ciaran McKeever away from break ball area was a big problem for Armagh. He's their best winner of break ball and was probably one of the reasons they were starved of possession.

Brennan got a lot of things right. I dunno if McCloy was injured but he couldn't have coped with any of Armagh's forwards. Muldoon playing further outfield worked wonders and taking of McAlary really needed to be done. Bradley in that form is unmarkable.

It has the makings of an interesting final. Derry - Tyrone always has a wee edge to it so no offense to Donegal but I'd rather see it happen...

[DoireGael]

Great day, a serious amount of travelling done but its all worth it to see a great performance by Derry and finally an Ulster Final.

he played on the left he played on the right that boy skinner made armagh look shit

On another day he could have got the line for the cowardly stunt on andy Mallon   Again Brennan saw this and took him off

[Orior]

Well done to the in-breds.

You've had great players for 5-6 years so its about time you went out and did it in Ulster and the AI.

What did he do?  Thought Mallon was lucky to stay on at the end.  To grab a man by the throat is stupid and in front of the ref as well!  Thought Coldrick shit himself on that one.

Great to see Derry playing football like that again and hope they can bring the Anglo Celt up this way in a few weeks.

He kicked the ball of his shins, hardly a cowardly stunt.  Mallon looked to be going for the windpipe pincer movement which seemed a bit more of a cowardly stunt to be honest.

Why is 3 rows from the front "one of the worst seats possible"?

You cant be serious hardstation.  All you see is legs and have absolutely no perspective on flight of the ball or players positioning.  It is terrible place to be.  They can stuff it.  Ill be going to the hill and you can have ticket if you want.  NO CHARGE.

le get yourself down to those seats behind the far goals, crackin view from the high seats there, my fav spot in clones.

i mind being there time we played derry in the qualifiers and we made mccloy look like a feckin genius, hopefully he's exposed left right and centre tomorrow, would make me day

lol!
Good lad abble....I'd nearly go to belfast in the mornin for the craic!

Agreed. A total over reaction by Mallon. Those sort of scenes should not be witnessed. I would have been happy to see Mallon being sent off for that.
