Derry v Dublin All Ireland Quarter Final

[oakleafgael]

Kevin McCloy is a major doubt for the Q-Final. He has a very badly fractured finger that was initially damaged against Mayo and got another bad knock very early on against Laois. This might go someway to explaining his hesitant pperformance under the high ball. If the game was next weekend he would definelty not be able to play and they are hoping another weeks healing time might be enough for him but his chances are less than 50/50 at the minute.

Best of luck to Derry and they will need it, I can see the durty dubs getting a few handy free's to help them on their way.

Derry have the beating of Dublin and I  hope they do but it will be close. prediction Derry 1-11 dublin 1-9.

Didn't hear this anywhere, huge blow if true, has been a massive player for them so far this year, his strength would be a major loss against the Dubs

I hope Derry won this game, if only to wipe the smug look off that Tommy Lyons f**kers face!! Maybe then him and the ignorant Pat Spillane will give big Anthony a chance to say somethin!

Tohill didnt hesitate in interrupting and contradicting Lyons last weekend, when Lyons was criticising Derry for moving the ball too slowly. I dont think he needs anybody's help in standing up for himself.

You're right there hound he didn't really hesitate, he just couldn't get a word in with both Lyons and Spillane bitching about the Game.  From all accounts i heard that it was a brilliant match if you were there!  I heard this from a number of people!

Jaysus I'd nearly cheer for Derry myself to see that

Did you watch the Sunday Game?  I didn't hear anybody bitching, Lyons offered a bit of constructive criticism that Derry on occasion move the ball too slowly out of defence - but as Derry fans we all know that.  He also pointed the numerous incidences where the high ball worried Derry, that also did happen, but I don't think the Dubs have anyone of the stature of Barry Moran or Brendan Quigley who will be able to cause similar problems (Kerry in the semi, if they get there might though!!).

Ok Bitching wasn't the right word, but do you not get the feeling that they always see the bad side in a game, which involves Northern teams (not just the derry match)  Did any of you hear either spillane or Lyons say anything about the quality of the points taken?? Again i heard that if you were there you would have seen that they were putting them over from all angles. (again this is a 3rd party source i wasn't there myself)

If you don't think Dub;lin have anybody who can cause damage under a high ball then you havent been watching Conal Keaney
