Quote from: Truthsayer on May 18, 2024, 09:30:49 PMIt's been a 5 year journey and they've continually improved every year culminating in back to back Ulsters and last year's semi final performance. The hype wasn't just from the league victory. This is their first dip but they can still recover from it.Quote from: screenexile on May 18, 2024, 09:22:04 PMReally? Was hype everywhere.. won the league and it totally took offQuote from: Truthsayer on May 18, 2024, 09:11:58 PMQuote from: JoG2 on May 18, 2024, 09:07:31 PMYou better believe it! This team was going to win Sam! Time to show its not all big talk!Quote from: Champion The Wonder Horse on May 18, 2024, 08:37:01 PMA second consecutive reality check for us. Not realistic contenders, especially with the current management.
Two stamping incidents this year with a Derry team coached by Gavin Devlin. Coincidence?
Harte's success with Louth vastly overstated; Baker took Antrim from div 4 to div 2 and to an ulster final. Would any Derryman want him at the helm?
It's not current management, it was the injury list and playing 3/4 game with 14 men. Complete half back line gone, Loughlin, and McKindless off, couple of men ill during the week, and McGuigan's shot goes in with 7 to go it's a level game. That's to be applauded. Full compliment and we're absolutely contenders.
Tyrone men have so little to chat about these days a Derry loss is their victory!
There is nowhere ... anywhere that anybody from Derry said we were gonna win Sam!!

Is there any chance the hype that built rapidly after their League success played a part in their provincial exit?
"Well, you'd be daft to say you don't hear the hype," says Derry defender Padraig McGrogan.
