I predict a disaster Championship for Derry

Ahhh you know its the summer GAA season when the aul Reverse Psyhcology starts coming out early on.

Not too long ago ye were all saying we've beaten the AI champs off the pitch and can win an AI now ourselves

But maybe if we Say we're gonna lose then we'll actually keep pur feet on the ground.

I think Sunday has the makings of the first descent match of the Championship so far though no doubt it will be fast, Furious and Frenetic as well as Foul Ridden so not one for the Southern Softies and so expect the Sunday Game to have a feast day with TYPICAL Ulster PUKE

What do you mean "Typical Ulster Puke?". We in Derry have always prided ourselves on an open expansive game rather than the Inbreds and the applemunchers... Donegal are fair and decent at the puke. It's a case of being sinned against rather than sinners for Derry. As shown against Kerry, we can outgun the best when we are allowed to play!

Disclaimer - Puke football is only acceptable when playing Tyrone at Healy Park!

And jeeez ye won the match and ye definitely won the battle of PUKE that day.

I think Derry are a much better team this year mainly cos They've a good MF and Paddy has learnt to lift his head and lay off the ball a lot more

As well as setting up scores for other forwards and thus helping them to progress, he in turn is making his own game less preditable and so harder to mark now.

Derry will win, and they will win by at least 3 points.

typical arrogance that some derry men have at the minute..

I called Fermanagh to beat monaghan and I think derry will beat Donegal with a bit to spare.

Derry's Championship campaign did turn out to be a disaster.

Sssshhh...dont let screenexile hear you..he's very upset about it.

I dont think too many were predicitng greatness given the management that are in situ

the League victory was a complete surprise as we were only looking to retain Div one status.

HAHA! You're just firing shots at me all over Mikey... not that upset. Disappointed yeah but I'm now optimistic that next year with a decent man at the helm we will mount a challenge... and again yes we were shit this year, does that make you happy? Munster football is still shite either way though
