The Sky 'platform', as in available as a stand alone digital channel, not as part of any Sports package.

What is the business model here?

Silly, but not unexpected behaviour from Mc Kinless.  Let his team mates down badly. Derry needed to start the game well and stay in the game but in reality, the game was over with the deserved red card.

Previous to that, Derry's shooting was brutal. How many did they kick into the keeper's hands? It's shocking at that level. Do they not do shooting at training? - doesn't look like it from today's show.

No Derry goals today and never really created any good chances. Derry scored goals for fun during league. That threat seems, for whatever reason, to be gone currently. 

Since the league final, Derry's momentum has tailed away significantly. After the long break, I'd expect them to be bursting the doors down to rectify the Donegal performance but I'd be really disappointed.  They looked very average and disjointed.

Obviously a few players were injured but lack of championship experience on the bench was telling. The panel must be very light. 

Why were so many let go and why were U20's brought in?

A few lads wanted to play football so went back to their clubs and you can't really blame them!

Not the first time a Derry player has done this. I recall that Rodgers stamped on someone recently too, no call for it. Trampish stuff.

True, the discipline has slipped badly this year under the tyrone management. Mckinless let his team down today, very disappointing. Genuinely hope Comer recovers from the ankle injury and it doesn't impact on his involvement for the rest of the season.

"The Tyrone management"!!

Boys a dear they really are turning on them up there.

[McKinless deserves a lengthy ban for it]

Thought Hartes comments after the game were a disgrace. Said he didn't see mckinless incident , but then proceeded to accuse Comer of making a meal of it and theatrics.
It was as  blatant a red card as seen at a game & it more or less ended Comers involvement in the game. McKinless deserves a lengthy ban for it

Didn't Gavin  Devlin get 3 months for similar  back in the day?

Yes - of course, you are right we could still finish second and have a preliminary. Does finishing second equal a home venue for prelim? Can't recall. But well done to the squad, that's a strong away win today.

If it's here to stay I'd like to see it on the Sky platform. With some of the absolute niche / nonsense channels on there there is no way cost is an insurmountable issue.

Sky was a different audience, general "sports" fans who might watch. Sky became acceptable enough when they had the 24 hour Now passes, but one way or the other streaming is the way forward.
Moving the games earlier did not help the Sky deal, in another couple of weeks Sky would have less to show and the GAA helped fill that gap.

When's the last time, a team 14 men actually won a game? Derry have has issue from 2 weeks before the Donegal game, then injuries, and men leaving make it worse. On that game I be worried Armagh turn them over fairly easy.
