The 2 Arsenal players with their arms around the West Ham player just get ignored then? Shocking decision!

Thought Hurson was kind to the Rossies in the end moving that free up for a 2 pointer.

Great game though I think Roscommon were the better team.

I think Hurson has been sore on the Rossies... I think McDaid was inside the arc as well when he was fouled that wasn't a 2 pointer!!

Legends on Netflix, about UK Customs tackling Heroin in 90s, is pretty good - a few episodes in, very entertaining not in the great category.

Watching 30 Rock again as well, holds up well.

30 Rock definitely hold up well I watched it again recently also

Got back into 30Rock again myself with its return on Netflix... Baldwin and Tracy Morgan are very good in it!

What time would you get home at? How would you bring kids the time you'd end up home??

What time are the kids in Kildare going to get home from Salthill next Saturday night?

RTE Is only 2 stations and between Hurling Football and all the other sport they need to show it's never going to be able to do it right.

I know they have GAA+ but the GAA need to bring on another broadcast partner to show games to make sure everything can get fully covered.

I know logistically for players it isn't ideal but Friday night games should be happening on a trial basis next season for teams that are close together. Derry v Armagh and Dublin v Louth could easily work on a Friday night for players and supporters @ 8pm under lights.

Then you've opened up another slot for tv!

To possibly pacify my good friend "Screenexiles" indignation, may I clarify that I always agreed with the introduction of the two pointer system to encourage long distance scoring from open play but I disagree with it for a free outside the arc. I think that it is too severe a penalty when the reward for a goal is still only  three points(and Derry got three of them on Saturday after great combination play by several players). We do not want our games to be decided exclusively by two pointers from frees.

I agree the 2 pointer shouldn't be for free kicks or sidelines but it's hard to argue it was a phenomenal way for a game to end the other night even if it did t go in our favour.

The 2 point system is not unfair it's the same for both teams. We had loads of ways of coping with it either score more ourselves, defend against theirs better or stop giving the ball away cheaply... we failed miserably on all 3 of those points!

If Derry are to prove themselves worthy of developing into a top class team,they have to be at least  very competitive against a side  of the calibre of  Armagh, whether it is in an Ulster final(which  should have been the case only for reasons already given by many others  but all of which can be easily rectified) or in the first round of the All Ireland series which it now is.

I have no doubt that the management and players have the undoubted capacity and skill levels  to do this and if they do not beat Armagh they definitely have the innate ability and determination to beat any of the other sides in a projected losers group with the possible exception of the losers of the Kerry/Donegal game.

Why do I think that? Anyone who saw last Saturday's game in person,saw how Derry harried their opponents  and fought back with powerful determination and no little skill when things started to go against them. It was their inability to cope with the unfairness of the two pointers system which beat them. This shortcoming can be worked
on with  much better results I feel and they have three weeks to do so. If that happens, this special group of very talented players can bring themselves and us all many happier days.

I think this has to the worst post I've ever seen on the Derry GAA thread... and I've been on here for 20 years!!!

"The unfairness of the 2 pointers system"

Jesus wept 🤦

I'm still absolutely seething about the other night but if the players have anything about them they'll be targeting a statement win against the Ulster Champions!!

Why any free worth 2 points, when a goal only worth 3.

Why any kick is  worth 2 points is beyond me.

That  2 pointer   and arc is a  feckin scurge

It's not! It made that game great today... I do think the 2 pointer should be confined to open play though!

Baker has his hand on the ball how is this a free again? Not allowed to challenge in the air?? I'm genuinely asking!

It's a long time since I saw a player bounce it straight into an opponents chest!

Serious questions to be asked of how Derry lost that game but what a game of football.

Fair play Monaghan they deserved it!

That wasn't off the ground at all what's the ref at?

That's a mess lads how has that not been sorted??
