Mick O'Dowd good bye and good luck.

Shame we cant get those four years back.

[Hardy]

Abject, by the sound of it. What have we become?

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Derry two up now. Why am I not surprised?

Maybe your lads should have hand passed the ball a bit more when ahead to retain possession to prevent the Derry lads from scoring.

Unbelievable turnaround.
Didn't seem likely at half time. There was only one team in it during the first half.

[thejuice]

If you've constantly seen a team collapse after half time, surely you have to make some attempt to resolve that. Nothing was done it seems. Or at least nothing has worked.

Meath is a bit like a hollywood movie franchise these days. Time again for another reboot, but never up to the standard of the original.

[Hardy]

The whole thing is pointless anyway. I didn't really give a toss whether we won today or not. I'm not interested in "a good run in the qualifiers", which was the very best we could have hoped for.

[Il Bomber Destro]

Well done Derry.

Well we wont get anywhere getting dumped out so early every year. Fine we wont win Sam or Leinster for a good while yet but christ it would do us no harm to actually beat a few teams a few times a year.

Has MOD quit yet? Whats he waiting for?

Pretty much sums up my feelings on it. Derry are treading water and the first good team they play will beat them handily. A truly awful first half by Derry and serious questions need to be asked of what exactly they where trying to do. A bit better in the second but a case of two bald men fighting over a comb.

[thejuice]

I'd say Derry as does pretty much everyone knows at this stage if you save yourself for the second half against Meath you'll be in with a good shout.

Oisin McConville put the hex on Meath on Second Captains saying they were going to get to the quarter-finals. Even had me convinced.

[skeog]

great result for damien barton and his derry team leinster bar dublin very much on the way down

[Shamrock Shore]

Well done Derry but that result surprised me. Maybe not a few Meath lads who seem very down about the whole thing.
