Derry has a great range of scorers now.  Plenty of lads getting on the score sheet.  Doesn't matter who as long as they go over the bar.

Although some of the shooting was very poor. Need to work on basic kicking the ball over ghe ba from 40 yards.  All senior teams need to do this. Happens so often.

We need a right footed free taker!

Loads of those lads won't be scoring in the heat the championship against the likes of the Dubs

I think this season in D1 was weird so far. Apart from Derry nobody else seemed very interested. The Dubs lost their first 2 matches, Kerry also lost 2 . Monaghan and Roscommon have other priorities. D1 has no jeopardy. The only priority for the others seemed to be retaining their status. Is there any point in having a D1 final?

How did Roscommon and Monaghan have other priorities? Monaghan started off flying and then fell apart.

So you aren't interested if you lose? Can't think of many games were any of the sides you mentioned took it easy. I don't think it is weird, the two best sides will meet in the league final. The team that got hammered 3 times has been relegated and everyone else is in-between

Kerry and Dublin are the only two with the depth who can pull themselves out of any hole they may find themselves in. The rest take it seriously enough. The likes of Tyrone and maybe Galway have got wake up calls in the league. Tyrone will be better for it but Galway need to keep players like comer and Walsh fit to be all the better for it. A final in it is no big deal though.

Tyrone were the same last year. What is a league title worth these days ? Nobody will remember it in July. The league is more like pre season . It's the new FBD League or whatever you are having yourself.

Didn't go too well for Tyrone who had a shite year all round last yeat bar beating.  us

[NotedObserver]

Galway and Tyrone not really getting wake up calls to me. Both are missing half a side with Galway missing 7 or 8 of their best players. Tyrone missing similar amount of players with young players in their debut season so hardly expecting to beat teams like Kerry Derry and Dublin who have been on the road for a number of years. Galway with all their players available would take a good side to beat them

[imtommygunn]

I think they have both realised that unless they get the finger out they are both going to be poor. Winning it doesn't really matter sf. It never has. Most teams take it seriously though some peak earlier than others.

Hard to read much out of the Derry v Mayo match if it was a championship match between the two no chance would both have defended so poorly.  Derry probably should rest players for round 7 before the final now and  It should be Dublin they'll play in that final.

Kerry are off to Portugal a few days after the round 7 match and unlikely to be going all out against Galway. Monaghan went down fighting has been some ten years for them, Roscommon will join them in Div 2 the opening round games v Tyrone,Galway and only picking up one point proved costly for them.

Just the Dubs, as they have against Kerry in the heat of championship. Who knows, as this incarnation of Derry hasn't played the Dubs in the championship yet.

Which player's?

[onefineday]

2 awful efforts there, we badly need a couple of forwards.

Couple of really poor misses in a row did help mayo get back into it, but in their defence, the wind seemed to pick up massively against Derry around then.

Agree, a few decisions ref decisions in a row from blowing lynch for time wasting (13 secs from he put the tee down - which blew backwards in the wind - until the whistle was blown), then tackles on glass and mckaigue which were deemed fair game.
