Some pass from matt mcgleenan for canavans goal

In the grand scheme of things the pick of both teams there the night would not trouble the dubs, maybe that's is why there is a big focus on the championship game, after that game there be little more on offer, Would fancy Donegal for Ulster at Present.

That was actually my first ever game in Croker. My auld fella took me and I didnt really know too many of the tyrone men and only marginally more of the derry men.
Was a great experience as a cub.
The National League meant something back then.
Looking at that wee clip....Peter had hair! Matty Mcgleenan, I actually liked him.
Dermot Heaney was a great player at his peak too.

I think it's time we forgot about football and focused on which county really are inbred. We can't continue with this nonsense of each county calling each other the same derogatory name.

Knockloughrim is mad for inbreedin and I've never encountered anyone disputing that.

Can't agree with that. Tyrone have to be short odds favourites for Ulster. Donegal and Monaghan have both emptied the tank at this stage. Come August Tyrone should be playing Mayo in an all-Ireland semi-final with a realistic chance of making the final. Anything else is abject failure. A last twelve appearance for us would represent decent progress.

You could say the same of Derrytresk....Coalisland....Sion Mills....Strabane....feck its a long list.

1 in 3 people in Morotown are called Quinn, i think we close the inbredding case there!!!

Great craic altogether. Bartons weaknesses exposed again. Sets up the season nicely.

Dermot Heaney was a magnificent footballer. He would be in my best ever Derry team, the only one of the '93 forward line who would make it.

In relation to Mayo i say they could pose Dublin the most problems if they found an inside forward. Mayo are that cocky they are already looking at an All-ireland final as they are playing Ulster opposition in the semi. Nothing like been over confident, check the Mayo threads

When you have watched Tony Scullion play the banjo you would have no doubt about where the inbreeding has been taking place.

Tony doesnt play the banjo, just the mandolin. You're than inbred you dont know the difference.

[red hander]

haha. All part of the master plan.

Most of you tirronie inbred red-arses seem to be happier about beating Derry than you are about winning the McKenna Cup.
After all this time yous still seem to have an inferiority complex when it comes to us. Yous really need to move on.

Happy enough with Derry tonight, should have won it in normal time. I really dont know where all the injury time came from. Played 2 or 3 minutes more than announced injury and the last free at the death which drew the game was questionable at best. I think we should have had another penalty in the first half before the one we got too.
Tyrone the better side in extra time. I think tactically MH got the extra time approach spot on...running on subs flat out in that first period. Frantic first period for them was enough to win it.

Its all about development for Derry at the minute. A lot of young new players and most acquitted themselves well against a team that is highly rated (wrongly IMO....top 6 team but not genuine AI contenders I feel). Plenty of  players to come back in, Lynch, McGuckian, the coleraine contingent, Dermot McBride.....there's probably about 5-6 players missing there tonight.

All in all, disappointing result but pleasing performance and showing signs of improvement. What more can any team ask for other than showing improvement.
I still have a gut feeling we'll win the first game in the championship. The only one that really matters.

Guess who's been on the drink tonight... an inferiority complex over the inbreds?  Think I'll have a wee dream about the 1995 Ulster semi-final tonight

Dream you away.
I might have a wee dream myself about a certain final and a Mr Charlie Redmond and even about a disallowed point at the end. A real good karma dream that. Lol.

That's a few times now Derry have failed to put Tyrone away. Even back to the NFL game last year that ended in a draw.
Barton will have a big physiological job to do now, getting his players to believe they are good enough to actually beat Tyrone. Glass ceiling so to speak.
