Fermanagh v Derry - Ulster Football Championship Quarter-Final, Sat 15th April

[Armagh18]

Jesus you couldn't like that Gallagher man if you reared him. Would nearly make you support Tyrone against them in next round. (Nearly)

[Hoof Hearted]

Six goals conceded in two games a concern for Derry?

I think when Glass and/or Mckeague aren't on the pitch can't be underestimated regarding this

[Mario]

Derry are dodgy under thon high ball. Better teams will make them pay

Teams only play the high ball when they are desperate

I was thinking the same, always had a soft spot for Derry but that lad is horrible. His interview after the game was as ungracious as you'd expect. A horrible individual

[FermGael]

Men and boys .
Fair play to Derry.
They will be hard to stop.

Pity there manager has absolutely zero class.

He must really hate Fermanagh to conduct himself like that.

How Fermanagh set up in that game was bizarre. They gave themselves no chance.

[FermGael]

Fermanagh set up was extremely strange.
Have no idea what the tactics were.

As for the Derry manager , his antics along the line were just despicable.
It's always been the Rory show and that's all it's about .

It's a perfectly good tactic that all teams should try a few times per game imo. No matter how good a full back/goal keeper are, no one likes having to deal with a high ball. As the saying goes, they have to be lucky every time, we only need to be lucky once.

Said it before. Rory is a one trick pony, very classless and it showed today. Same system as Donegal when he managed them, they have a few years left at this system but ultimately they will fail as its too difficult to maintain. Also the system relies on direction from Rory, not trusting the players to change it up as required.

Yeah that attitude and the hand spitting, a proper twat. Was asked today what they learned from the game and his answer was something like not much, it was over before half time. Didnt even give Fermanagh credit for lifting it in the second half and was totally dismissive of conceding the goals.

A shame really as I do like a lot of their players, Glass, McKaigue, Rodgers and McGuigan are all class players.

[seafoid]

Definitely worrying looks like complete panic stations anytime the ball goes in high!

Hopefully Derry have come through unscathed Lynch deserved motm he's been excellent.

Big gap between Fermanagh and Derry!

There is. Tyrone

Tell me how the Derry setup differs from pretty much every other county in the country...? Start with Tyrone sure

Easy. You don't see any other manger in the country roaring instructions at every second at their players. Shows he doesn't trust his players and also shows he wants it all about him. Also not every team rely solely on their starting 15, you seen what happened when glass went off against Dublin, Derry fell apart.

Tyrone can vary their attack by drifting in Con or Brian into the full forward for a long ball attack or via McCurry or canavan. Derrys attack relies on a pre set game plan.

Derry same as Donegal under Rory and Jim rely on their team getting ahead and keeping the lead. Derry can't claw back from behind as other top teams can.

[on the sideline]

Who in the Fermanagh set up was Gallagher aiming his celebration at after the second goal? Can understand an instinctive reaction to celebrate a big score the way he did initially, when he turned to his own men, but he definitely carried it on and went even harder with it looking towards the Fermanagh bench. That was just the actions of a p***k.

The handshake with Donnelly at the end was also pretty curt and near enough a chest barge between them.

Gallagher like that all the time in the 4yrs he's been there, you think people didn't see the way he acted before, or the fact you can heard him 80+m away
