Galway shot 40%(6 from 15) from play with Derry 35% (5 from 14)

Apart from the 1st 15 minutes that was a 5 point hammering.
Galway "won" from 20th to 70th minute by 2-8 to 0-3.
Derry seemed to have 2 tactics...pack the defence and try and get through for goals at the other end.
First worked up to a point  -Comer- but the Galway defence snuffed all their goal attempts.
They had no plan B, just stick to the system.

Very galling to see them herrins in the Final....but unfortunately we never got out of League mode.

It is, especially when it's 50/50.

Was Comer booked twice?

No

Don't want to hear anymore talk of Rory being some sort of genius manager. Took a game plan which failed 11 years ago and tried to do it again. Christ even mcguinness has had the sense to stay away knowing that limited safety first approach doesn't work anymore.

Ironically if Derry had of attacked the first half they could have been out of sight.

There is a reason he failed at 3 different teams.

With all that said you'd have thought there was no way possible his team would have destroyed the All Ireland Chanpions in their back yard... he obviously hasn't a clue!

Different dynamic, where we have never lost against Galway in the Championship, for example, and your lads have never won.

A bit embarrassing for Derry in the end. No plan B, no initiative when behind. Just the same turgid stuff on repeat til the end.

Took 20 mins to settle, but from that point Galway were very controlled. That's two good results in their last two games against two very different opponents. They'll be a handful in the final.

Hope Galway can go on and win it. You would fear though if it takes them 20 mins to settle against kerry or the dubs it will be over.

Comer must be  a nailed-on all Star

Yep, for sure!

I would say mckaigue is too. Not sure on other Derry ones. Maybe Rodgers.

Glass couldn't be far away himself and Comer unless Fento does something spectacular tomorrow and the next day.

2nd favourite for Player of the Year at the moment after Clifford.

Conroy will have one of the midfield ones locked up. The other is up for grabs.

Derry have employed a strong strategy this year and were slightly unfortunate today when they conceded that goal a run of frees in quick succession. Don't really see much scope for improvement from Derry, don't really have many top notch players.
