Derry Club Football & Hurling original

[NotedObserver]

To be honest that's as good as anything I seen in Gallagher's rein. Mixed the game up and took out a lot of Galway's threats.

Murray a great sub and I would leave him on the bench for that serious impact as he thrives on the tired defence. Actually on replay I don't think he tried square it to Laughlin for the goal but was a penalty if a goal didn't happen. Galway are struggling but Derry didn't give them a second. If they can repeat the performance they can beat anyone on their day

Derry biggest mistake was when 8pts up and getting joy at Midfield on Galways kickouts, they dropped off allowing 3/4 short kickouts on the left side which Galway had worked to getting 3pts.

I don't think that was deliberate. I think it was a combination of Galway subs rattling us a bit and that we'd slightly run out of steam.

P Tally was wrong in saying if Derry won, they still need something from the Dublin game. If Dublin had beat Derry and Galway beat a weakened Armagh, Derry still would went through on the head to head basis

How? By those results Dublin would have 4 points, Armagh 4, Galway would have 3 points and Derry would have 1. What head to head you talking about?

Ahh just getting you. If Derry had beaten Galway.

[Wildweasel74]

Dublin would have 6pts and in 2nd place, they not be on 4, Derry and Galway would been on 3 a piece and Derry would went through on the head to head.

Would have preferred Clones but Newry will have to do.

Have Dublin ever played a Championship game in Newry?

[Champion The Wonder Horse]

I'm at a loss as to why anyone would possibly prefer Clones.

[Ryan O]

Can't work out anyone who says they would prefer Clones. Newry or Armagh is perfect for Derry. Plenty of our clubs have had good success there and we definitely know it better than the Dubs.

Can someone make sure Lynch is tucked safely into bed around 8pm every night for next week or so.

Love the relaxed party atmosphere pre-game around Clones. You don't get it anywhere else up North.

Yes, I'd be well relaxed after taking three hours to get there, being charged €10 to park in a field two miles from the ground with a fair chance of not getting out of it until the next day, paying €36 for two burgers and three chips and over-priced, flat, warm pints out of plastic glasses.

Ninety minutes to newry, park for free with 500 yards of the grounds, Friar Tucks, then decent cheap pints before the game and stay in the shamrocks club afterwards for a few pints to let the traffic die down. And still home before you'd be out of that field in Clones.

Whatever floats your boat. Maybe it was more that I was young and foolish but I have nothing but good memories of Clones.

And of the young and foolish, have both conditions changed?
