Derry by 52. Close thread
Derry win this at a canter.
Get the flags up in mackerafelt sir and the bypass flyovers
We've a semi coming up
A rerun of the 93 final.
No tickets left!
I think this match is the one that has the greatest chance of a shock over the weekend. Derry had a relatively easy group and based on their performances & results there were some signs that they have dropped off from their previously manic intensity levels. Cork could win this.

I think so too.
Not a clue. Derrys defence will smoother Cork. Its a funny auld game. Derry easily put Donegal to the sword and people saying Cork could win this game. Tyrone easily put Donegal to the sword and they are now all Ireland contenders lol.

Only because it wouldn't be a shock if any of the other quarter-finals went either way.
Cork come into this game having beaten Mayo and Roscommon teams that finished 1st and 3rd in Div 1 and lost narrowly to Kerry in a match they created the most chances in.
Had Cork two weeks to prepare for this game it would go right down to wire and decided on fine margins but it's Corks 3rd match in 14 days and I would expect a rested Derry to win by a bit to spare.
What's the story with tickets lads?
Couldn't get any kids tickets yesterday, now I can't get any tickets.
Sold out?
Or typical bs about tickets being g released in batches?
The tickets available to ticketmaster will have all sold out, it's not to do with them being released in batches.
But the gaa will have held so many back for season ticket holders, sponsors, officials and a small allocation for all clubs in the counties. Good chance most people will have bought online and some of the club tickets make there way back onto ticketmaster later in the week.

While I expect that almost everyone will be sorted in the end, the GAA should have opened tickets in the first instance to people who bought tickets for previous games and only then opened it for free for all.
As for the game, there remains a doubt whether the departure of the manager will reduce Derry performance enough to put Cork in the frame.
This game not remotely sell out, same crap with the tickets as last year. Cork never should beat Roscommon, they give it tight to Derry in the first half if Derry come into the game complacent, but I expect the extra game to take it's toll and Derry to pull away 15/20mins from the end.
It might not br far away from a sell out. Dublin and mayo have the two biggest support bases in the country. Derry cork match probably attract 15-20,000 on its own. They sold all the tickets for last years quarter final double bill on the Sunday.
Will sell out or be very very close. We're up in the gods in the Canal End corner. Derry fans only getting warmed up, if we get though we'll bring 30k ourselves to the semi. Standing room only at Poundhill in Aughnacloy on the road down.
This'll be a tight affair.

dont know about other counties but Armagh clubs got an email to say thst tickets would be online only and not through clubs
Doing well bringing 30k when there barely 3k in Longford. Very poorly supported the other week.

Why would Doire families have wasted the expense on that meaningless game?
Think it's called supporting your team.
Have they even got 30 supporters including gallagher?
I honestly think this will be a close game.
Cork have shown over the last couple of games with their performances against Roscommon and Mayo that they can compete with the top teams.
We haven't come up against a top team this year yet in championship (by that I mean a team with a chance of AI success like Mayo).
We've had extra time off but so far this year I don't think we've really clicked for a full 70.
We've lost a manager mid-season.
We have one of the best footballers in Derry back on the panel.
There are so many variables to this game I'm finding it hard to predict.
Cork will fancy their chances big time. I hope Derry don't get complacent, we've no right to be.
Each game now needs to be treated as a final.
I actually think CP will suit how Derry have evolved this year in an attacking sense and for me it feels like there will be goals coming with the space.
However, it has been shown this year how difficult life becomes when opposition push up on our kickouts. So it will be interesting to see what tactics Cork go for, I can't see them not pushing up on us but a lot depends on how they rate their midfield 8 against ours. If they feel we'll win more long kicks than them, they may well concede the kickouts, mirror our setup and try to hit us on the break. But I don't think Cork play that way.
Interesting game.
I'll take a 1 point win but nothing would surprise me.
Cork have momentum. Compare them now to the Clare game
Cork have come on big time since Derry played them in the League. It's a hard one to call. As tbrick said Derry have no right to be complacent.
You can't be complacent in an All Ireland QF!
Much the same as last year against Clare we went about it professionally and put in the performance that was needed. I expect us to do the same tomorrow.
Yes Cork have played well the last 2 matches but I would say they caught Mayo on the hop and Roscommon performed quite poorly. And yet the Rossies still should have won the game! If we don't beat them well enough we can't think we'll beat a Kerry/Dublin in the Semi Final!

That's why I can't get tickets, I've been trying for Sunday!!
🤣🤣 dicks!!
Looking forward to seeing Cork this weekend, they have been a breathe of fresh air in this championship, good to watch an attacking minded side with full of talent right through every line.
They have made massive improvement even from the louth game, they were totally robbed against Kerry especially seeing how Tyrone were treated with same if not worse incident against Westmeath.
I fancy Cork to win this game 5/6 points.
Doire scored 5-13 in our last quarterfinal. Corcaigh will do well to match that!!

I have 1 x Adult & 1 x Juve ticket available for Lower Daven, section 320. Would take less than FV if anyone was stuck for a ticket.
What are the costs in other sports vs GAA though? Especially in a successful county.
Maybe soccer? Part of what you are doing is paying their wages though.
How best should Ciaran McFaul be used on our Long Kick-outs in the first half as i think as ,TBR has already said, Cork will likely push up on our shorts ?
At half time we (depending on the wind which his always tricky in CP ) we need to have a couple of pts to spare.
Derry folk haven't learned their lesson from last year when they panic bought tickets and Facebook was full of people trying to resell them

we've quite a few high fielders, Rogers, Glass, McFaul, Mguigan....the two dohertys and McKinless are no slouches either.
If cork do push up, I'd be tempted to squeeze their press. Bring 12 players insider our own 45 and take the kickout over the top of them with acres of space for Mcguigan and co to win their own ball. If Cork drop back a sweeper, we're left with a man free.
Might be a ridiculous idea lol.
We have the players to compete on kickouts to MF even if that's not our first choice.
We'll get some away short I'm sure too.
I'm particularly interested to see how/when Lachlan Murray is used.

I think if Cork had a full deck to pick from they'd have a right crack at it, but Hurley especially is a huge loss. He'd take marking so it makes it easier for Derry. The midfield battle will be one to watch here. Should be good.
Cork the underdogs this time around, but traditionally they are big guns.
Derry definite favourites. There is an aura of champions with this team and we are all part of the journey.

Hurley a loss but it's worth noting he only scored 0-2(1f) against Mayo before going off injured on 55 mins and Cork would go on to outscore Mayo 1-6 to 1-1 to win by 3. Didn't feature at all in their victory against Roscommon. Cork in the last couple of games had a good spread of scorers, with defenders and subs making big impacts. One can't underestimate that the last two matches took a lot out of Cork and fresher Derry should be winning probably by closing the game out in the final 15 mins.

He's been struggling with injuries of late and then his hammer went badly enough in Mayo game, so as you say he hasn't been as effective as he can be. But he showed flashes in Kerry game of what he can do and if he were in any sort of shape Derry would be forced to man-mark him if he was out there which would improve the outlook for Cork forwards around him.
He most likely won't play though unfortunately for Cork. Derry would win even if he were there I feel anyway.

Hurleys ball winning ability and directness will be a huge loss. Even if hes not scoring hes asking questions of defenders are bringing others into the game.
He's been very hit and miss with injuries Hurley. Had the potential to be one of the best about when he came on the scene but dropped off with injuries etc.
Where are his brothers now? There was one who was a sub the other year and looked useful but doesn't appear to be about now.

Momentum and confidence within Cork will be huge after Mayo/Roscommon/Kerry games.
Cork have more than a chance, they have a good chance. It's possibly the draw they would have wanted for this game.
By no means a foregone conclusion, hopefully I'm wrong though and Derry run riot.

One can't underestimate that the last two matches took a lot out of Cork and fresher Derry should be winning probably by closing the game out in the final 15 mins.
He's been struggling with injuries of late and then his hammer went badly enough in Mayo game, so as you say he hasn't been as effective as he can be. But he showed flashes in Kerry game of what he can do and if he were in any sort of shape Derry would be forced to man-mark him if he was out there which would improve the outlook for Cork forwards around him.
He most likely won't play though unfortunately for Cork. Derry would win even if he were there I feel anyway.
Hurleys ball winning ability and directness will be a huge loss. Even if hes not scoring hes asking questions of defenders are bringing others into the game.
Hurley named on the bench, he will 100% play a part this weekend.
Well let's hope Lynch doesn't get injured, could we not called in the U-20 keeper.

After the U-20 final I think not...postie a good safe option
Was that not the bck up keeper in the U-20, I seen postie a few weeks ago, lad not fit to come to the 45, and I not mention the high ball. We been here before and he wasn't what was required previous.

I think if Cork had a full deck to pick from they'd have a right crack at it, but Hurley especially is a huge loss. He'd take marking so it makes it easier for Derry. The midfield battle will be one to watch here. Should be good.

I hate it myself, white and red band is the Derry jersey I grew up with (except for when we played that shower next door).
Seems to be a thing under Gallagher. I remember pre 1940 it was always red and white band and then it changed to white with red band ;)
No big issue colour change, I like the red Jersey, Donegal played in Green with a yellow band, up to the, 1992 All-Ireland, went with a main yellow/gold top and wire the same every since.

Allegedly easier to pick the red jersey out against the backdrop of the crowd. Some statistician could make that case; another could prove the opposite.
I just think it's a far nicer jersey.

13 mins played Derry in front for the first time 0-2 to 0-1 in a match that Cork have dominated possession of the ball thus far
Would love to know how they allocate seats.
Derry scores coming easier and leading 0-6 to 0-2 26 mins played.
Stuck in work, any free sites to stream the game?
RTE radio Co-commentator "Derry have come out and parked the kitchen sink"
And he's paid to come out with this shite
This game is putrid and it's all down to Derry and their ultra defensive setup.
Very poor football to watch. This defensive shite would sicken you
Half time Derry 0-6 Cork 0-5. Strong finish to the half by Cork for a 2nd weekend in a row, Not a half of football that will live long in the memory.
Think they'll fall short but hope Cork put Derry out of everyone's misery here. Rubbish style of football.
What. A. Game! 🙈
Derry excellent defensively and horrible going forward. We should be 10-5 up really but Cork rallied well at the end. A bit worrying given what happened last week!

There's a goal in this for Cork if they look up when they get behind Derry and find the man running in at the back post.

Cork will look back with serious regret on that game

Gaa is a results business nowadays

Am I right in saying that derry will play either kerry or dublin/mayo
Kerry look way ahead of Derry and Monaghan based on the 3 quarter finals so far.
Thought we were excellent defensively and poor going forward probably McGuigans worst game this year but hopefully that's it out of the way!
I know we only had 8 shots in the first half but we lost 3-4 balls in the scoring zone very easily. We should really have won that by 6-7 missing a couple of goals chances and a penalty but we're still in it and that is all that matters.
If the Dubs get beat here we'll be the only unbeaten team still in the Cship!

Eh, you beat Clare last year to get-to AISF, slight step up this year in Cork, so luck has most definitely been with you. Good top 8 side but not much more.
I think Derry will look better against a football team, e.g Kerry, Mayo and Dublin. The two Derry v Dublin league games were both decent. Two defensive teams coming up against each other can be a poor watch, especially when one of them is 4+ points clear.

That's about it in a nutshell. Most Derry people very aware of our limits tempered with expectations. Don't see too many losing the run of themselves and getting carried away with ideas above their station unlike another county. Anyway we can only deal with what's in front of us and that's another all Ireland semi.

Derry are overachieving in particular with the forwards they have, Armagh are underachieving and that's what really irks him.
Armagh club football is brutal, we haven't had a decent county underage team in over a decade, Armagh are over-achievers imo. Derry are a decent side, just not top drawer, dunno why yous are circling the wagons.
I ain't a Derry man. Armagh have really decent forwards but aren't utilising them, look at what O'Neill can do given half a chance. It'd be frustrating watching that style of play when they have more capability upfront.
I wanted Derry to win as a neutral but really it's awful football, not sure why Roscommon got so much stick in comparison.
I also think they have lost an edge Derry, I think Dublin or Kerry will comfortably win.

well done you waited until the second half to make your opinion fit. I'll be honest our style might be a bit boring, but teams damn sure have to work to beat us. I honestly think that the games are only boring when we are up against a tema that believe they can't win unless they match the system. I think we will see a more open game with kerry as they will have no fear and go for it.
I would rather watch the likes of monaghan/Tyrone or armagh than that drivel or for that matter antrim on a wet evening.
The Question is: why are they playing this way?

At some stage you'll maybe post something that isn't complete and utter drivel.
2 Ulster's back to back and 2 AI semi finals back to back. From our starting position that isn't bad going.
We have to go for it in 2 weeks, there's another gear or 2 from what we seen today. Our big hitters all have to have a big game and we'll see how it goes. Kerry prob a step top far but Derry won't be easy beat (I hope).
I can understand Derry supporters defending it, you're seeing it through a different lens, going to the games and winning, so fair play. But for the neutral it's desperate. That's why there's flak.
The semi against Kerry is set up now very reminiscent of Mickey Harte bringing the Tyrone 'system' to the semi-final against the Dubs in 2017 and most neutrals were glad to see them well cleaned out.
It's up to you whether you stick to the plan or come up with something new.

Monaghan and Armagh, while exciting and tense, was turgid at times last night, especially from Armagh when they had a spare man
I said it earlier in the week, this was going to be a tight game.
Derry looked nervous as perceived favorites and didn't play particularly well.
But to play below your best and get a reasonably comfortable win against a form team with momentum is fantastic.
I thought we had some immense individual performance today.
Mckinless, both dohertys, mcfaul, Paul cassidy and the 2 midfielders and McCloskey.
Mcguigan was definitely off but cork had their homework done on him.
Of all the quarterfinalists I think the best 4 have gone through.
Dublin and kerry obviously hot favorites but that will suit monaghan and Derry.
In general, the ref had a good game but how that wasn't a back card for the penalty I'll never know.
2 dubious 45s given to cork and one not given for derry when the cork keeper palmed it off the crossbar and over the end line.
Conditions were difficult too. Strong blustery breeze continuously changing direction and several showers.
Derry prob should have won by 8 or 9.
Nobody saying Derry will wi an AI, but we're in a seriously good place.
Really good underage teams, strong colleges, very strong clubs in Glen, slaughtneil, Magherafelt and county seniors in 2nd Aisf in a row, promotion to div1 and back to back ulster winners.
I wouldn't change a thing.
Well done the Muckers, and good luck with it! :)
Derry were shocking today, that safety first attitude gonna really bite us in the ass. Never seen as many men play so bad. Starting to fear a Tyrone like hammering against Kerry. Not a happy Bunny.!

The first decent post. A previous post said Derry had 7-8 immense performances. Though they'll not get hammered like Tyrone as they have been poor for couple of years and yesterdays performance particularly poor. Saying that Kerry left scores behind them lol. The best derry move was the one long ball into mcguigan for the pen and thought cork got through handy enuf at times but they didn't have that bit of class

So Derry have a new song.
Feel like we were poor today, worst performance of the season maybe, but still won, looked like we were in second gear and when we needed a goal we got one almost immediately. Will need everyone to be perfect against Kerry to have a chance but it's nice to be still in the championship, we spent enough years being crap.

LMFAO
Well we 2 corner forwards short, thin on the bench, no real right footed free taker, poor on 45's. And manager gone halfway through the season and only outta Division 4, 4yrs ago.Know we not win an All-Ireland, So I take were Derry are at, in the semis again, what's the rest of your excuses for you teams not cutting it.

👏👏👏👏
I would say Derry are in no lose territory here.
Huge under dogs going in, little or no expectation outside of the group.
Derry werent great at the weekend and Cork were awful so hard to know where they are at level wise.
Would Derry have preferred to play Dublin over Kerry?
Some achievement for this team with back to back Ulsters & semi final appearances, they've a smallish squad and appear to have kept everyone fit.
Kerry for me, though both incredibly tough opponents. Dublin are in the zone and look they'll go all the way
Wouldn't have mattered, I said Dublin before Sunday, given what Kerry showed the day before. Now it's fucked either way lol

Definitely Kerry rather than Dublin, for me.
After this weekend its Kerry for me too. Dublin looked back to their best and if they play like that from here on its hard to see anyone stopping them.
