Hard to see Derry winning this with a 2 point lead against that wind, unless they get a goal

Murphy has been dangerous for Derry when he's got the ball, big 2nd half needed with the wind against us.

I wonder where that comes from.

Bring a GAA fan has become the modern day equivalent of self-flagellation.

55 mins played both down to 14 men with straight reds and Derry leading 0-8 to 0-5
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Derry must have 80% possession this half. Donegal just can't get on the ball.

Donegal poor. Jim has work to do

Brutal night for football. Defeat probably do Jimmy a favour to slow the hype train a wee bit.

Mickeys taught the diving tricks to the Derry wans I see!

Yep. Strong wind and rain at our back. Did we even have five shots in this second half. Derry look streets ahead, although we made it very easy for them. Haven't looked up for it at all.

Would paddy mcbreartys best days be behind him? Doesnt offer much of a threat these days

FT Derry 0-12 Donegal 0-6. Controlled and composed display from Derry yet another McKenna cup for Mickey Harte.

Donegal finished the game with 13 men. A simliar performance repeated in Div 2 won't beat the likes of Armagh, Kildare and Cork.

I was wrong.Great second half performance from Derry in those conditions. Controlled it very well and looked a level above Donegal.

Will Rogers be banned for league?

I'd expect a stronger team out for many of the league games. Not many of the newer or fringe players made much of a claim based on tonight, albeit in poor conditions against a higher, tougher standard than they're used to.

I'd assume both himself and McBrearty will miss a few games.

Did they do much? Rogers definitely a huge miss for Derry especially with Glass likely gone for a couple of weeks.
