He was clearly in the square. Thought it strange that no one questioned it

He definitely wasn't!

Looks pretty clear that he's outside the square when the ball leaves the other player's hands.

It wasn't a set play, so he's allowed to enter the square before the ball does.
It's not clear at all where the line is, but it looks like he is outside what we think is the square when the ball is played in.

With eyesight like that you should take up reffing.

Dublin @ 6/5 to win is massively overpriced!!!

I really hope we can get a win but based on how Dublin and ourselves played last weekend I just can't see it. I thought we were quite poor against a very average Galway side and could have lost only for certain decisions going against them. Celtic Park is a factor of course but I just think the Dubs would have to be favourites given how they dismantled Kerry last week.

The game was basically over after 20 mins!

Dublin have 4 points after 4 matches but one of those wins was against Kerry. They may not want Derry to develop any notions.

Going by the bookies and their punters they think history will repeat itself with Derry to beat Dublin in round 5 by one point.  Derry at home as a team should defend a lot better than Kerry did in Croke park last weekend but I'm sure Dublin will be determined to not allow what happened in Celtic Park last year be repeated.

Injuries to key derry players will be a huge factor. If McKinless and Conor Doherty are out, that's a huge swing factor.
It would also be a huge step up for Scullion in goals.

Derry started the year on 9/1 but are now priced at 6/1. Kerry and Dublin are neck and neck at 11/4

Injuries won't help Derry's cause, I'm still expecting a good competitive battle between the two in what could well be the dress rehearsal for the league final at the end of March.

Eight points secured four points ahead of the rest. Would be a sensible decision to rest players.

No idea if that's right or not as Derry name their team very late on these days but Cahair is prob not far off the money. A sensible decision if it turns out to be the case. We could be playing the Dubs again in a month in a league final.

Cahair has good sources he doesn't normally post articles up without getting his information correct. Will likely play Dublin in a month in the final though a League final would probably be more winnable if Dublin wasn't in it however Mickey Harte is looking at the long term and championship and feels now is the ideal time to rest players.

Hard to disagree with it. After all the keyboard experts here have been saying we've been playing too strong a team to date  ;D
