Good win for the minors. Galway were not good. Some very bad decisions re: passing. If they can tidy that up then could be looking at an AI title :-)

Are Derry playing this year? Any thoughts on how things have gone, are going or will go? Derry Bored

Murray developing well and a few others coming along......good fightback against TYrone.......well done Glen !!!

Was at the game yesterday. Calm, assured performance. Was sitting behind the Galway manager. He left half way thru the second half :-) All the players arrived in their own cars. Did the team bus break down ? :-)

Can we beat Cork?  Would give a great boost to the team for the Galway, Roscommon and Clare games, never mind Meath away either :-)

I think the game is on TG4

Anyone know when they decide on the venue for the Limerick game?

Could not understand the subs at the end.  Tough enough.  Nearly threw it away.  Ref was shocking.  I wonder what part of Cavan his Mum is from. Need a couple of games like that to build confidence and hardness. Not a bad day :-)

Brilliant today.  Boys look very fit and stronger.  Few mistakes but not complaining.  Bones of a very good team and structure.  Link play good.  Hope? :-)

Jeez could be Donegal in Ulster.........maybe we have a chance this year.........ever the optimist !

I was at the game.......first half they played very defensively (well I might add) but did not have much appetite to attack.....seemed comfortable to sit back and limit the damage as they were against the wind.....they really should have scored a goal in the first half.......Cork's first goal was a disaster from Derry......Keeper took it short, did not find the man and the Cork forward easily put it in the net....their second goal was also a farce.....referee let them take a free quickly and Derry were stood still!  Were not expecting it......we only played with one man up first half......Second half......Cork forwards began to get through our lines more easily and were the better team.......despite being behind we did not show much urgency going forward.....when we were about 9 points down with maybe 10 mins to go.....we put 3 men up front and began to push forward.......scored 2-3 or so.......could have nicked the game in the end but overall Cork were the better team....I cannot understand Gallagher talking about the lack of desire to go forward in the team.....he is the manager !!!!  If he wants them to push on then he should set up that way and shout at the players......only seen that in the last 10 mins of the game.....

Tier 2 for us unless.....shocking result and performance in so many ways :-( 

10 mins into second half and we luckily just got a goal to get us into the game. But team selection and tactics have to questioned.  Wind behind our backs and we have 14 men behind the ball at home to Leitrim.  We are in big trouble for the year ahead.  Sweet jaysus. 

Losing the Slaughtneil players over the last couple of years may account for us being in Division 4.....that aside, you could say the same thing about Down, Armagh, Laois, Meath, Cork..... and so on.  We should be looking to the likes of Tyrone, Mayo etc to see what they have done differently. I think Club Derry and the development of youth has been a big plus for us and we will be back challenging at a higher level in 4-5 years.

We need to be smarter tactically. Was at the Waterford game a couple of weeks ago.....if we cannot find a way of breaking down 13 man defences we are going to struggle come championship time again. Waterford pushed forward when we went two men down......that was why we won the game in the end.  Maybe this will improve.  I'd be amazed if management were not aware that this is an area that we need to work on.  I think our defence has improved and definitely our kick outs too.

Anyone know if the game is on radio today? Thanks
