Should have won that but what a great game!!

Also have to say I think the ref has been brilliant.

Yes the Ref has been excellent.

What did the linesman tell him when he seemed about to book the defender?

I think he wasn't sure who to book as it was a 'double' tackle.

Maybe he asked lineman which player was it but I'd say linesman wasn't sure either.

60 years ago today, the first BASIC program was run on a computer, a GE-225 mainframe.

READY
10 PRINT "HELLO ARMAGHNIAC"
20 GOTO 10
RUN

😅👏

Wikipedia suggests that the first program was PRINT 2 + 2
You have to admire those who wrote the Interpreter. 11 years later Gates and Allen wrote the interpreter for the Altair, although they did not have an Altair.

AI suggests that the answer is 5 for big values of 2

Not a brutal draw from Cavan's perspective - absolutely delighted there's no other Ulster team in there, but perhaps it's all moot anyway with the news that Paddy Lynch is gone for the season after doing the cruciate.

You'd imagine Galway or Mayo will be good enough for second place behind the Dubs and Cavan and Roscommon will renew their modern day B-lister rivalry for the third spot. Roscommon wouldn't be overly fearful in that one either.

Has Gearoid McKernan retired?

Very nervy shooting at the end of that game. Won't be easy to call a winner in extra time.

Jesus it's a painful watch from a Derry point of view so many bad choices when kicking for scores

Yeah, decision making is poor enough at times.

But it's been an enjoyable game.

Too many Derry players wouldnt take the final shot there. End up in shots took when men in better positions earlier. Derry regret not winning this, they well on top. Too many lads simply avoiding taking the big decision.

Aye, a couple of decent chances to go in front there.
