Ulster Senior football championship 2024

[bennydorano]

A lot of people happy Derry were finally beat. It's the second time in 4 years this year has put in bad performance probably. Tactically we won't be that bad again. Donegal defended so deep that we were never getting goal chances. We lost the game on their kickouts but our shooting was the worst I've seen in in a long time as well.

You'll be fine if teams don't care and give you the freedom of the park, but if they have a compact gameplan you're fucked, unless you take it to penalties of course.

Anyone with suggestions on where to watch the Tyrone v Cavan match tomorrow, for those of us down south and no BBC?

[OakLeaf]

We did not look interested today. Donegal were much sharper all over the field. I'm not too bothered. We could do with the rest.

Disappointing result esp the manner of the goals. It was said during the week Donegal would need goals to beat us and goals they got. Plenty been saying Derry getting beat wouldn't be the worst thing but all the doom mongers are out in force writing the rest of our season off. Time will tell.

We were too slow and well off our pace. Very heavy legged. I don't think that was down to any Jimmy master plan but Donegal made hay with it and fair play. A good break and reset will do no harm.

Just goes to show anyone can beat anyone on the day. Harte is a stubborn f**ker though so I'd put money on Lynch pushing up the next day too! Not many teams have the midfield to dominate Glass!

Derry are a class side, I've no agenda here... But Conor Glass is so overrated it's unreal..another shocker performance, he saves his shockers for when Derry are in a tight spot too

It wasn't the defeat itself for Derry, it was more the nature of the defeat because whatever way you look at it that was a hammering.

Derry can still recover from that defeat because they have enough recovery time. But huge questions remain over Harte tactically because he was out manoeuvred yet again by Jimmy McGuinness. There was nothing overly surprising about Donegals defensive counter attack style but it was surprising that Derry seemed to have no plan how to break them down.

It's a good result for the remaining teams in Ulster now though as it opens the championship right up and Donegal, Tyrone and Armagh will all think they can win Ulster now tonight.

in a way if derry were to somehow go on and win all ireland would it be bad provincial championships future

I actually think we broke them down fine we just got annihilated on the Donegal kickout and didn't get into our set defence quick enough.

Was it a tactical masterclass? They defended ferociously and went after the long kickouts it wasn't rocket science but they were absolutely the better team and good luck to them.

I think they will beat Tyrone or Cavan handily to set up a big game against Armagh. That game will have a lot more intensity than the Div2 league final!

Hard to remember a team dropping as many short in a single game as Derry did today. Midfield was dominated when the game really mattered too.

All round the team looked fatigued (possibly disinterested) and Donegal brought a greater intensity to the game.

Jesus it's as if losing in the provincial championship means that's it's irrelevant, trying to figure out where I saw that before.

And no mention of the bombscare keeper.

Think that speaks for itself. A disaster all round. Can't believe they persisted with it after the 1st let alone the 2nd.

Should have had an old fashioned full forward standing on the edge of the square,
