Like watching a game of chess. Possibility this match could be worse than last nights FBD final.

Derry doing a lot of long kicking in to the forwards here which is a complete change of style. Very interesting to watch against Tyrones defensive style,

It's poor but better then last night. Mayo and Roscommon was indoor and they were passing it around like they were facing a wind.

Derry push up and instantly look better, shocker

Game should be over already, Derry making a balls of 2 def goal chances.

Looks to be a strong breeze at this game.

Weird to see Derry men willing to shoot, just a pity mcGuigan doesn't have his shooting boots on tonight

Wildweasel74

Shooting from 2 far out, serious breeze, it about 6/7 pts different and  Derry not far enough ahead.

Whatever about the breeze Tyrone are playing very poorly so far

McGuigan missed a bagful

Blowitupref

Half time Derry 0-7 Tyrone 0-1.

Very slow pace game with Tyrone especially playing through the motions and not taking this final too serious by having a number of first choice players on the bench instead of starting.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Shane McGuigan said on the football pod a while back they were planning to kick more in 23.

They look better for it. Rodgers an interesting one in midfield- I think he is better suited there. Murray looks a good addition.

Hard to know the impact of the wind here. I guess we'll see.

It was very attractive to watch. Derry missed at least 2.4 in that first half and played with a lot more risk, lots of first time longer kicks into the forwards. We could rue all those misses in the second half though with tyrone having the significant breeze.

Tyrone's turn to rack up the sides.
