Yes the beach is Corralejo is fantastic. If you can get across to El Cotillo it's worth a visit. It's a lagoon on one side and a beach on the other.

Watched this last night, I was born in mid 80s so was quite young when troubles were finishing up thankfully but the show would make you angry with how some of the families where treated.Really inhuman how you could go into someone's home to tell them their husband/father has been shot dead for no other reason than his association to a sport and ask why the child is crying.Similar to the loughinisland case where the police were clearly involved in collision.

Good idea that why not toss for a home venue in Semi Finals?!

On a related note, is the first time Celtic park has been used as a venue for a non-Derry championship game? I can't recall any other occasion anyway.

Armagh must be worth an each way bet. Likely to be top seeds having had some warm up matches to try systems/squad before the Ulster final against a jaded Donegal or Tyrone. They'll probably not have a better chance of making a semi or a final for a while.

In all seriousness, bar drawing Dublin I'd be very disappointed if we don't make a semi final. Donegal, Tyrone, Kerry, Derry, Galway, Mayo all very good teams but have their flaws, time we pushed on, sick of hard luck stories at the qf stage.

You have a serious chance of making top seed and then a 66% chance of drawing Clare or Louth/Kildare as 2nd seed in your group. Avoid the preliminary quarter final thereafter and you're set up to beat the hard luck stories!

Donegal have to be favourites for Ulster and serious All Ireland contenders after that performance at the weekend.

I Watched Donegal back last night. To say they blew Derry off the field is an understatement.  Probably the biggest shock in football since they bate the dubs in 2014 and yer man was at the helm then also.  Mc Guinness takes a lot of flak but I think he is a strategic genius and he has rebuilt Donegal again. Can they win the all Ireland. Id put them ahead of Derry at the moment who will now suffer from an inferiority complex with the teams who beat them, as they always do..

Biggest shock since 2014?? You've a short memory don't you remember May 1st 2022??
