Derry Club Football & Hurling original

Thank Jaysus somebody told Magherafelt that there is a football match on.

[Bronco]

This pathetic excuse for a game of football highlights everything I was saying earlier.

[restorepride]

Totally agree.  At least the team that wanted to play football won. 

[Bronco]

That was embarrassing. Derry football is seriously in the doldrums.

Thank Jaysus somebody told Magherafelt that there is a football match on.

Surely a team with the calibre of players Magherafelt have, should have a plan b when behind? And not go chasing with high balls in a few minutes left on the clock.

Nearly all creativity sucked out of them, through tactics.  Brutal brutal stuff.  Verging on abuse of players' talents.

That was an hour ill not get back. Absolutely horrendous. Two poor teams, magherafelt particularly brutal. Slaughtneil should count themselves lucky there is no ulster.

What did you think of the double substitution for Steelstown today, just as they went 4 ahead and tails up? 

[theticklemister]

Didn't notice it at the time to be honest. Just didn't kick on after the great start to second-half, but boys will be back again.

Magherafelt had 15 men inside their 45, you can't expect Slaughtneil to kick the ball long or run into a gauntlet. They held onto the ball was patient

Slaughtneil played the sensible game, they'd no other choice. You seen the two times they ran the ball into tackles in the first half they lost it and M'felt got the turnover.  What was the point of doing that over and over?  If one team is intent on playing men behind the ball counter-attacking stuff, there is no point the other side running the ball into them or kicking it down their throats.  Slaughtneil played the team in front of them and would easily adapt to playing any of the other contenders in Ulster.  Their 3 Ulster titles in the last 6years is testament to that.

M'felt on the other hand, never lifted the shackles and were still playing with too many men behind the ball when 3pts down and time almost up.  They've a couple of flyers who, given space, would open up any defence, but they were allowed to do that. They were stuck trying to make those breaks from their own defence rather that from midfield up.

When you look at their overall scoring stats - M'felt only managed one point (free) from their 3 top scorers in the C'ship. Slaughtneil got five (4 frees) from their top 3 scorers.   I've Slaughtneil scoring 13-98 in the C'ship this year and M'felt scoring 7-61.
