Poor first half from Donegal.  Missed a lot of easy chances in the first 15, and since then seem to have lost our way a little bit going forward. Need to start speeding things up, get Murphy inside and play some better ball in there. Poor McBrearty has hardly had a touch. O'Boyle looks dangerous for Derry too.

No foregone conclusion at this point.

All v quiet in here...

Anyone watching this game?

Watched last 10 mins.  Poor game.  Like watching a poor version of the NBA playoffs.  Loads of handpassing, two teams playing blanket defences & both teams struggling to score.  Derry will be happy to be level at half time.  The worry for Derry is the lack of a scoring threat up front.

It's wet in Clones.
Gritty game, no quarter asked, a brilliant save by the Derry goalie keeps Derry level at ht.
.Derry doing very well so far.

Im thoroughly enjoying it. Both teams trying to outthink each other and Derry boys doing some really good tackling and the Holly lads getting at Gallagher, wouldn't be surprised to see him sent off or taken off.

Here was me thinking it was a decent match. Great commitment from both sides you would have to say youd think Donegal will push on tho, but Derry have the players so its all possible

Donegal would want to up the intensity here.

Think there might've been 1 or 2 extra steps by Martin O reillly for that goal  ;D

anyone seriously suggesting this is a good game? Been awful.

Skills on show are so poor if you took the fitness levels out of it you'd think it was Junior D

Derry have pegged it back to 2 after missing about 4 good chances.
Donegal are trying to wake up out of a stagnant state, but how they can kill the life out of a game.

Joke of a black card for Derry full back.  Definite foul, but all the donegal players running up to the ref got him put off.  Plenty of verbals again today from both  sides.

2 Black cards given in error there and Donegal making a meal out of them... They've killed the game the last 5 minutes which is what the better teams do.

Strange you should say that Indiana when these are 2 teams you've struggled to beat the last year!!

To be fair the second should have been a straight red

Some of the delivery from the Derry players in the last 10 minutes has been absolutely atrocious. They've certainly had their chances.
