I just can't get my head around how Derry have so many men back, yet any sort of run in the final third from a Dublin player resulted in them being free in space & their "marker" 5-10 metres off them.

Derry don't look fit at all.

Disappointing given the game it had been billed as all week, but can understand Harte's thinking. They'll play again in a few weeks.

Dublin 1-16 Derry 1-11. No real surprise that result with the amount of changes Derry made.

That is a thing for me... Derry don't look as physically strong. They're actually more mobile than I thought though.

They're not, and it's not just the experienced Dublin vs the young Derry lads. A lot of Derry ones are very slight and a lot of the younger Dubs look much stronger.

Agreed. Not quite this level yet tbh.

When we're full out we've plenty of strength that wouldn't be a worry for me.

Not often I think Sean Cavanagh is worth quoting but he said the Dubs performance v Kerry spooked Derry a bit and I think that's exactly what's happened - Mickey & Derry blinked first. Dubs came out with the f**k you we're the Dubs attitude and won pulling up. Bigger battles ahead surely but Derry took a big backwards step 2nite imo.

Yeah I think you are right and Micky picked a weakened side as he maybe knew what was coming. Derry a good side just not that level (hopefully it'll come)

This is a good game of football, an unusual surprise when Rossies are involved.

The score taking from both sides has been exceptional

Was it not the time to rest the likes of Glass against Kerry when it was only 6 days after the club final and that they also knew the Cliffords would be missing. Would agree with other posters that Derry completely sh*t it tonight against the Dubs.

In one.

Extreme overthinking by Mickey Harte.

Are Dublin operating at a level of their own (again) with Derry next in line?

Peaking too early. It's only the first few days of March.
