Donegal vs Derry

[oakleafgael]

Just in the door, dissapointed but I cant say completly surprised. A lot of people had wrote Donegal off but there was a big match in them somewhere along the line and they gave it everything tonight. Typical Derry and cant string two good performaces together. I thought we where stuffed when down by 5 and Bradley off but the players showed real guts to come back and take it to extra time. If Donegal had lost with the amount of chances they missed in extra time then McFadden would have been a very sorry boy, shooting from ridiculous positions when others where better placed. That said the ref bottled it with the last kick of the game when he should have given a free in. There is something wrong at the heart of football in Derry.

Nail on the head!

I forgot to add. Best of luck to Donegal for the rest of the championship. With a favourable draw next week there is no reason why they cant male the quarter finals with an underdogs chance of making the semi finals. Murphy will be the foundations of the team for a long time to come.

How can Derry, who looked magnificient last week, and according to the Saturday Game analysts were "back in the All Ireland mix" get beaten by
a side who barely struggled past the football super powers of Carlow & Clare? It really defies logic

I told ye it was all set up for a Donegal win.

Thats football for you, it also shows how poor Monaghan really are, but I have said it before and I will say it again, Derry are spineless.

In other words, McHugh is a muppet.

aye and he used to go on and on about how Tyrone wouldnt win as All Irealnd without Peter Canavan like it was a jewel of wisdom...of of course it was dung.

Whilst im very dissapointed if not surprised we where beat that comment is uninformed. They trailed by 5 points with 15 minutes left and showed a lot of character to force it to extra time.

Dont agree about the spineless either  oakleaf, but theres  an awful amount of pressure on any new manager to take Derry to the
promised land this last few years. In your opinion has Cassidy done any better than Paddy Crozier, so far?

Its the lottery of the qualifiers, very difficult to beat two strong teams in the space of a week. The auld cliché about getting good tough challenges every week to build momentum is a load of bollocks, you should be hoping for the handiest teams possible every time.

Some of you lads take the pundits a wee bit too seriously, whether its McHugh or Brolly or Spillane.

I don't think anyone takes McHugh too seriously

[020304 Tir Eoghain]

Nothing to do with the pundits J70, recent results were speaking for themselves. You were writing Donegal off yourself earlier in the
week

Great result though, congratulations & all the best for the rest of the Championship.

Yet you're all sore about some perceived slight he levelled at your county, and the same will go for Spllane and Brolly after the Sunday Game.

Wasn't referring to what any pundit said - just that some of the lads here seem to get awful offended by their opinions.
