NFL Division 1 2024

if derry are in final against dublin would you not want tot give your best players a chance at experience against dublin in croke park and a chance to win national silverware.

Derry doing the right thing resting boys imo, safe now and probably still will have enough to make a league final though if they want.  Dublin flying and still men to come back, they're very good and up to the rest to up their game now to match them.

Would like to see how Derry/Galway/Donegal or ourselves would get on against them in championship football, reckon they aren't that far ahead.

Derry won't care and the narrative will be about them having half a team out but there have been some very poor performances there tonight. Dubs much more physical in almost every tackle. McGuigan (who has been decent) got out-jumped by Murchan for a goal chance FFS.

The same boy was out jumping Clifford last week. Check him for ped's

I thought McGuigan gave Murchan a bit of a roasting, 4 from play and 3 frees he won himself. Pity he didn't get that long range goal effort it would have made a game of it

McFaul has been good recently, hit a few wides tonight but he's had a good start to the season.

The same posters saying Derry bottled it were the ones outraged that we started the league with the Glen players. Mickey has played the league to perfection imo, pressure off after 4 games and able to rest players.

Dublin showed they are a level above tonight and if we are to stand any chance of beating them we need a full side out and everyone playing well.

That's it in a nutshell. Same goes for the likes of Kerry.
The chat in here is some craic. White flags, Derry players don't have the physique, they're not fit. Micky isn't the right man. Peaked too early, too late, mid peak.

I think tonight crystallises what everyone knows... the Dubs are going to be ridiculously hard to beat!

Derry are rightly considered one of the top teams in the country and we should be challenging Kerry and Dublin at the top. The reality is we're a slight step below Kerry (and I think we've maybe surpassed them this year) and a giant leap away from Dublin.

We'd need the Dubs to have an off day and us a phenomenal day to beat them. Having said that I think we are absolutely playing to our full potential this last few years and I'm just happy that we're playing the top teams in Division 1 again.

Maybe in a one off game we could spring a surprise but as things stand I don't see how we could beat the Dubs when it matters. I can see us beating anyone else but the Dubs are on a different planet as things stand and anyone who does beat them will have earned it!!

We may be and probably are a forward or 2 away from an All Ireland and that's ok. From what I've seen the last 2 seasons I don't think we

Don't drink and type folks!

Crystallises?? Jesus 🤦🏼�♂️

Before 2011 the process worked. Good teams rose to the top, gained experience and maybe lost a final before winning one. Derry 1993 won at the first attempt. Coleman knew when they were ready. They needed a bit of luck too but they were deserving all Ireland champions and the whole country welcomed the win. That is how the Sam Maguire was designed to work.
 

It hasn't worked since 2011. Good teams have risen close to the top and been pushed down again. Jimmy only won the one big match.  Sam has gone to Dublin 9 times
It is even worse than the EPL.

In the 90s Sam went to Ulster 4 times
In the 00s Sam went 4 times
In the 10s Sam went once

Ulster is subsidising Dublin. So are Connacht, Munster and the rest of Leinster.

Presumably Jarlath Burns is not stupid.

Jesus if any team done the amount of shoving that Kerry do there would be some amount card.

[Estimator]

How many cards for this?

[screenexile]

Tyrone gonna Tyrone!

To be fair it was a mark don't know what the officials were at?

[square_ball]

Quality of O'Neills jerseys being put to the test here.

Pathetic stuff all round from everyone.

[tyrone08]

Clifford unpunished again. Unreal

[OakLeaf]

The linesman caused that. Player took the mark. The fact that he went out after landing is irrelevant. He was in when his feet hit the ground.

[tyrone08]

Tyrone gonna Tyrone!

Nothing to do with Tyrone. Mark was given but changed to a slide line ball some how

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Hard to bate a schmozzle

[statto]

Tyrone may have poked the bear had looked better side.
