NFL Division 1 2024

hopefully that shuts up the scrap the league finals brigade for a while.

Why? Topping the league should see you win it not having to play another game of football. In a condensed season an extra weeks rest would benefit players especially ulster teams who have a tough series of games.

Jarlath's 4th speech of the weekend, he's some fire in his belly.

I'm a nervous wreck we had that won a few times and let us slip... and had to battle the ref too.

Probably one of the best games of football in a while both teams going at it.

The Dubs have a lot of men to come in but we handled Con Fenton Kilkenny Scully and Basquel very well and I think we still have room for improvement.

The Ulster teams will have a big target on our backs now but will worry about that later. What a game and what a result!

That's the first time that a Dublin team has lost a final at home in a long time.

The Derry cap fits well on Mickey.

Great speaker, how refreshing.

[Jell 0 Biafra]

Can we assume Dublin defence be much tighter in the championship? Derry could/should have 5 goals..

Can imagine so as they won't be retaining the All Ireland be defending in the manner they have done today. 

Unless there are retirements, the defensive line has McCaffrey, McCarthy, Gannon, Fitzsimons and Cluxton all to return.

Mccaffrey off the bench is a weapon and kills teams. Big win for Derry confidence but a bit left in the dubs yet too.

Congrats to Derry,
Well done to Dublin, incredibly conditioned and they play football like I like to watch it.
Felt bad for Fenton, seems like decent sort.
As for that tr**p Small ......

Why did small do for his red?

[imtommygunn]

Yeah felt bad for Fenton. He has lost it twice that I have ever seen - twice against Derry this year too.

The biggest sea change in Derry is in their mentality. It was important that they came home with the trophy today and that will only help by beating the Dubs in their own patch in a national final. It was bigger than either of their 2 Ulster wins in proving that they have the mettle to challenge for an All Ireland.

There were some very good matches

Don't think it was a red card and I know it's a cliche but he isn't that type of player.
