Is there anywhere online that I could catch the highlights of the game??

I agree with the Derry supporter who called for the game to be played in the "correct spirit and with dignity". Tommy let himself down on Saturday night. Id also think though correct spirit and dignity would include not cynically fouling players who are about to score, and not throwing yourself to the ground, when you havent been fouled, to win a crucial (well it should have been crucial had it not been kicked wide) free.

It wasnt kicked wide. McGuckin saved the penalty

QuoteThese 2 are brilliant players but both look a very long way off championship fitness. With one competitive game left and 8 or so weeks to go I suppose there's plenty of time.

I would say Brian McGuigan has not been flat out recently since he is only returning from injury. I am excited by the possibility of him being fully fit this summer, as last year was a bit too soon for him.

Broken Record time. Beeb's highlights just had to show Mc Goldrick's head, of course without a word of explanation that it was an accidental clash. No coverage of any gaa whatsoever this day last week. Just amazed they didn't show the kneeing incident. Editors musta missed it.

Very good

. Nobody could deny that the penalty was the correct award however and whilst it was a good save it was a lucky escape for Derry that Tyrone got nothing from what was a certain goal but for the foul on Cavanagh. Justice was certainly done when Brown missed the free at the end as the referee had a mistake with the award in the first place.

Cynical fouling, diving and indeed trying to get fellow players booked as the Gooch did at the weekend have no place in the game. I look forward to pages of condemnation of these things as we have seen in regards to Tommy McGuigan
