Maybe they could try man marking McBrearty.

Derry have thrown in the towel.

Harte left that Derry team totally clueless and demorilised; bless him! .. to think two years ago they were All Ireland material.

Wouldn't necessarily blame Harte.

But jeez they've been atrocious today

I'd blame Rory's ex-wife!

They had to get harte so they need to suck it up. Would help if the players stop talking about gallagher.

Donegal have a formidable look about them but Derry have been disappointing. RG had the midas touch with the Derry lads and he gaz not been adequately replaced.

[Captain Obvious]

With so much underage county and schools success in both Derry and Tyrone the last few years, D2 not a bad spot at all to really blood some fresh faces.

Would expect the pair of them to come back up handily enough.

Unless there are radical improvements in the Likes of Louth, Cork, Meath, Cavan then Tyrone and Derry will be promoted at a canter.

Derry's 1 point in the League made for false reading in my eyes. The Kerry game was farcical and should have been closed out. As should Donegal when leading well with 10 minutes to go. I would imagine Donegal will take them out in Ulster but they can then go and disappear into the background and go about their work quietly in preparation for the group stages where they will hope to come back nearer to full strength.

Tyrone very unfortunate to be relegated on 7 points. Periods of inconsistencies for sure but Tyrone have had worse league campaigns than this and stayed up. The likely Ulster Semi Final match up with Armagh (no disrespect to Cavan/Antrim) should be a good one. Tyrone's forward line looks very dangerous, so many "pocket rocket" style players that are hard to track in these new rules. And the midfield pairing is very strong.

That's not happening 🇮🇩

You think Derry will beat Donegal in the preliminary round?

Yes, have said it since the draw was made.

Bless your optimism.

Unfortunately this is a 100% correct.

To be fair if the penalty went in and Murphy had of been red carded as he should have been it would be a completely different game

[screenexile]

The game has went exactly as everyone expected...

Murphy should have got a red for that dog though and it would be a very different game.

Philly McMahon shouldn't be let near a television either 🤦

Despite what the media would lead you to believe they were actually a great watch under RG.

Scored some great counter attacking scores

[Blowitupref]

Donegal 1-25 Derry 1-15. Donegal will be hard stopped in Ulster once more. Derry probably need the handful of weeks of training prep time before the group stage as they seek improvement.

Did BBC give Rogers Man of the match?

If you aren't a Kerry or Dublin and you don't have an elite manager then you may forget about it. As Cahair said in article  in IN during week it's more important than any underage success.
