As bad as Derry's Championship form has been.

Is Derrys win v Mayo actually their biggest championship win since their resurgence 2 years ago?

Donegal and Tyrone in 2022 Ulster Championship the other two that come to mind.

First time Harte has beat Mayo in the championship in a long time too...

Yeah I think that is probably their biggest win in a very very long time.

I still think turnaround , injuries etc mean Kerry beat them by  bit but they have at least salvaged their season. Would love to be wrong and they beat Kerry mind you.

Besides, there's no guarantee we're beating Louth. They lost narrowly to us in the league, just beat a Cork team who beat us, and were very competitive with Dublin. This could be a slow, defensive arm wrestle, and in those types of games, a goal or mistake could swing it.

I think this game is probably the most cut and dried out of all the quarter finals. Donegal are a team on a mission whereas Louth have exceeded all expectations and will be happy just to be there. I think that will be the difference. Jimmy has done some coaching in Louth and will know a lot of their players and the best thing that happened Donegal was the Cork defeat. They won't be going in complacent again.

Surely beating the AI winners in 2022 was bigger as were both Ulster finals. Armagh and Donegal were at Mayos level but there was a trophy on the line.

From what I seen it was Devlin that was doing most of the talking at half time during the extra time period. Cajoling players, he would seem to have more of a rapport with them than Mickey Harte. Enda Muldoon seems to have stayed well in the background when you would have thought that he would be the one beating the chest as the only Derry man.

That's one thing I'd say with Louth they arent the sort of team that are happy just making up the numbers. They went in to the Leinster final with belief that they could win it and will do the same against Donegal. Think they'll come up short but will give Donegal a good test

I probably would agree but Mayo are always very highly rated in the media.

Are the semi finals pre-determined or is there a new draw for them?
