Sooner we know the better still waiting to buy a Iron Maiden Ticket for Sat week if we don't have the extra game. Can organise nothing these days.

Fear of the draw... I have a constant fear that quarter finals always near

Need be by more, I a gig to think of!

No changes in the Derry line up that was named to start against Donegal, although Heron did replace Loughlin before the game.
Only change is on the bench where Oisin McWilliams has replace Diarmuid Barker.  Just gives a few more options now.
Surprised to see Scullion still named as sub keeper. Had his wrist in a cast for the Donegal game.

McBrearty starting certainly gives Donegal more bite up front, that has the makings of a really good game now I feel.

Oisin McWilliams back in the 26 for Derry is a positive. He was really good earlier in the year and gives us another good option off the bench. There won't be any surprise in terms of tactics or personnel for Derry I'd imagine. More of the same. Provided we don't become complacent we should be good enough to get the win, but can we win by enough to get top spot? Not sure.

Is Derry v Clare on tv anywhere?

no not on tv.

Biggest news in the Donegal lineup is that McGee is out with injury. He's our strongest midfielder - we're going to struggle.

Looked like a bad hamstring he got in the build up to Derry's 3rd goal. Hugh McFadden a big unit but wouldn't be a like for like replacement for McGee.

Was Odhran Lynch minding his goal or wandering  when Clare scored the goal?
