What's with the mere 2,400 tickets available in a 82,000 capacity stadium? Should be at least 10,000

Friend got 1 for me online, as when I was on, no tickets were available.

Derry 5 points to 1 up at the water break.
Derry very accurate. Offaly not accurate.

Subbing off Bernard Allen after 25 minutes a tactical change or injury? Derry well in control 8-1 ahead.

Half time Derry 0-10 Offaly 1-3. Injury time goal a bit of lifeline for Offaly.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Derry 0-10 Offaly 1-3 at HT

I'd say it was a slight injury/knock given the way he walked off.
I'd say no risks are being taken given the Louth game is next weekend.

Derry's accuracy has dropped a bit but still doing better in terms of creating scoring chances.

Offaly with the goal in injury time badly needed.

Glass covering some amount of ground.

Debatable if that goal should have stood. He threw in it was the call though the ball came from his grasp and rolled over the line.

I'd have given it as there didn't look to be any throwing action, it just looked like it came loose from his possession and rolled over the line.

Full time Derry 0-21 Offaly 1-6. One sided final, Derry look in good shape going into the Championship, their disallowed goal should have stood and could afford that penalty miss with the last kick of the game. Offaly and John Maughan will know that performance this evening won't be good enough to beat Louth next weekend.

Mad stuff at the end with the Offaly keeper being black-carded and McGuigan's penalty [the last kick of the game] being saved by Cunningham who went in goals because Offaly had no more subs to make.
Was an awful attempt from McGuigan.

Overall Derry really the better side and the 0-21 to 1-6 final scoreline could easily have been even worse for Offaly.

Chastening day in Croke Park for Offaly - will be a major achievement if they don't get relegated in next year's league.

Derry could spring a surprise against Donegal who looked unconvincing in the League without Murphy.

Gallagher will have a gameplan and it is the most interesting of the first round fixtures.

Donegal have to beat down to get a chance at us! :D

No real point in that game today. Offaly were shocking.

Was some point. Was a bit of silverware and a run out in Croke Park. Offaly gaining promotion was achievement in itself as said already they'll do well to avoid relegation next year. Derry should be aiming for promotion back to Div 1.

You have to give Maughan Credit. Where does he get the energy from?
