Derry v Cavan

[rodney trotter]

I presume you are taking the piss Maguire. Last year we stayed in div 3 on score difference, got hammered by Donegal and were fortunate to best Fermanagh before getting hammered again. This year we did much better in the league, including hammering the two promoted teams. We retained our u21 title, did well with a very limited minor team and won 3 championship matches and only for a shocking decision by a ref wed have got another shot at the Semi. If that is not progress then neither is Monaghan winning Ulster.

Itchy were it not for a couple of blind umpires yis would in my opinion have been beaten by a lot more in the semi-final so please stop going on about the ref

How do you work that out, the Monaghan disallowed goal happened in the first half. Cavan would have had plenty of time to recover from that.

Simple maths Rodney. A goal is worth three points, plus the one that we eventually beat ye by equals four points. Therefore we would have beaten ye by a lot more as i stated earlier. Monaghans goal was not "disallowed" it was not given. It would have been a terrible injustice had cavan got another chance.

I what a goal is worth, the goal Monaghan did actually score was a gift by the Cavan keeper. Cavan had plenty of wides in the second half. Monaghan weren't overly dominant as you seem to be making out.

Will any Derry radio stations have commentary on the game?  Or is it Northern Sound again?

No doubt the "Foot in" in popular in Derry GAA, along with its sister premises the "Elbow in"

Any decent spots for a pint near to the pitch. Preferably somewhere near where a lad might park the car.

Id park her down on rossville street/lecky road lad. No traffic and ye get a nice walk through the Bog. For a nice pint I would go to Maily's or the name in front of the establishment ' Bluebell', which is located on Lecky Road about a 5 minute walk from ground. Not too jammed lad and even for ye Cavan lads the drinks are cheap!!!! A pound a bottle and £1.50 a vodka and coke the last time i was there.

[Itchy]

Cheers lad. To they sell tayto?

Fran is injured for Cavan so Alan O'Meara takes his place. Other than that it's same again for Cavan..

Weather down this part of the country is quite something else if it is as warm up in Derry tomorrow it will have an impact on the outcome. Hard to see how we will maintain the same level of intensity in getting lads behind the ball in such conditions. Whether Derry will be advantaged through an approach that involves a bit more of the ball doing the work will be interesting to see. Subs will need to be used well before the 69th minute I reckon.
