Celtic looked reasonably comfortable there, pity they didn't press forward towards the end.  I thought they should have threw more at it!
Harsh on Scott Brown but technically he had to go..
Cant see Celtic coming through this group now.

No Sean Cavanagh??

Armagh have a decent forward line I would have thought. Monaghan not too bad on paper either.

Take Jamie Clarke out is Armaghs really that good. Monaghans is distinctly average IMO.

Derry have a very solid forward line with some excellent long range score takers..

Derry will be happy with a home draw.. I hope the fact they are playing at home and they know they could potentially play London doesn't breed complacency.
Derry have a decent record in the qualifiers, but it must be remembered this is still a relatively inexperienced squad which wouldn't have the greatest underage record (particularly at u21 level). This Cavan team have a great record at this level and wont fear Derry.
If Derry play with the same level of intensity as they did in the 2nd game against Down, they should pull through. They have a decent forward line which is something Cavan haven't really faced yet. This could be the difference.

It will be very interesting to see the post tour DVD behind the scenes and especially the final team selection meeting. Will give a good insight of the logic behind this drastic change in personnel.

Scary thing is that England might now actually do something at the Euros!!  Arry Redknapp wil probably get the job now!

Kildare been awful in the 2nd half, they dont know how to tackle and left the centre open for Tyrones 2 goals.... Tyrones forwards have been impressive also.

Having a bit of a debate with a guy in the office here,he reckons Messi can't be put in the same bracket as Pele.. I think he can,as hes playing against a much higher calibre of defence in Europe. Anyone any views?

Yep referee was terrible but no excuse for the scenes after that.. Decent game but Corofin had at least 4 chances to get a shot at goal in the last 2 minutes but no appeared to have the nerve to go for it..

Very tough on a team who have trained hard all year to lose in a manner like this!

Fook that referee is a disgrace.... Thought it was only in ulster we had problems with these kind of cowboys,thats the worst ive seen in a long time!!

I can go as far as to agree with a yellow card as long as a ref is consistent about those sort of things. But it was never a red and the only thing to say in Rollands favour is he only had one chance to see it at high speed.

Can the not take them decisions to the 4th official?

It was illegal, he turned him in the air and dropped him on his head ffs. Wreckless irresponsibility and stupidity. The ref had no choice.

Perhaps reckless, but he seemed to catch him flush in the tackle, don't think it was malicious though.. Typical France always seem to get the rub of the green!!

Looked like clerc jumped into the tackle which didn't help warburton

Yeah it would have been different if he had dumped him, but he seemed to hold back when he realised the position of Clercs body.. Wales are battling gamely but you would expect France to find gaps as the game opens up.

Reddan- Ive never seen worse.. Honestly dont know what he brings to the table.

Never a fan. There is a reason Stringer was there so long, O'Leary came through and why Murray started.

O'Leary cost himself his place with that stupid pass against Scotland.

At least there would be a possibility of o leary making somthing happen. Reddan is a bland type of player offensively and suspect defensively.
