Derry were 4 up at HT in ET and then decided to give up the kickouts (which they dominated in the first half of ET) this gave Tyrone the impetus to come and chase down the lead - Derry will be devastated - poor game management both on the pitch and along the line letting that lead slip.

Has Gearoid McKernan retired?

Not part of the panel this year. Either wasn't asked or decided not to. His last few seasons his form had dropped off significantly, to be fair, but he had big mileage clocked up.

Who would you take up?

Jamie Doran is the obvious one. Like the look of Carr too - would Gilroy be worth working with - he is a man mountain. Murdock from Rostrevor too is a very sound player. Take some of them in and give them a go.. no point hanging on to the same faces that have been there 20 months now and still very limited game time. Barry injury is a tough one on the lad but opens a place for at least one.

Sure carr can't even get a game for Clonduff,  gilroy never got a start all year for u20s so I would safely say there's a fair chance laverty won't be looking their numbers any time soon

Jimmy White said the old stagers couldn't manage the speed of the tables. Not sure why these other chaps could if they are considered less skilful.

Great to see some new players in there for a change.  Delighted to see that hateful **** osullivan go out. 
Looks like a Bingham v Wilson final now.  Bingham is a bit of a character too.  Jones plays a different game as well and his safety is excellent. 
Refreshing to see these guys up there.  Fair play to them

That's as bad a semi final line up as there's ever been.

Jones v Bingham
Wilson v Gilbert

What happened to big Ronnie Selby and  Higgins?

Who are Jones and Gilbert?

They've all been shite. Poor standard all round this year. Can't imagine that semi final line up will capture the imagination of the neutrals. David Gilbert was in the semi final a few years ago but bit of a journeyman player. Jak Jones is a Selby lite. Hard to watch.

Snooker on its last legs. No young players coming through. A quick look at the draw this year and there's a handful under 30.

Now is the time to try new players.  3 games v Offaly, Limerick and London would be good to blood a few more lads.

Was a good game to watch
Derry were blunt at times in the forward division considering the amount of possession they had

Two bad wides to win it in normal time

The two Loughmacrory men McElholm and McCullagh are natural forwards and had massive games for Tyrone tonight
