All-Ireland QFs: Armagh/Roscommon, Dublin/Galway, Donegal/Louth, Kerry/Derry

Is the season not a success for Derry?

There are only two senior competitions you can win at the start of the year.

Derry won the least coveted one but still a national title.

I think we seen again today that Kerry struggle to break down a solid defensive structure so that augurs well for us in the semi final. I'd expect another cagey game (what game isn't now) of cat and mouse and I'm hoping that our forwards can produce more up front than Derry. 

We mightnt have a Clifford but I think we have all round more quality up front than Kerry. I think at this stage we were due to face up to a Kerry or a Dublin to test our mettle and find out if we have what it takes to win the All Ireland.

I think overall they are further away from winning an All Ireland than before he came in. But they made their bed and will have to lie in it now, they can't just ditch him now. And history tells us that Mickey doesn't go easily so I don't expect him to walk either.

I agree with you though, unless they unearth one or two more quality forwards it won't matter who is in charge, they won't be winning an All Ireland title.

Did you mean to quote and agree with yourself??? Or did you forget to switch accounts haha

You'd want to have little to be doing to be arguing with yourself.

Being beat by Kerry today would not make a bad year, but the other defeats are a bad look.

There are three...

They are limited in attack and you aren't going to beat the best teams with those limitations.

Three national titles?

I think the Mayo game took its toll, Derry were well into that game until Kerry (without doing much different)  went points ahead and Derry started misfiring everywhere.

When it comes to the 1/4 finals, all teams should be on an equal footing with at least a 2 weeks gap from their previous game.

I generally find it to be the only intelligent argument I can get.

Twas puke football lads.. no doubt Kerry will get their usual pass from the media.

Glad we got Kerry in the semis. They will not have want to play another northern county. Beating them will give us a boost that neither Dgal or Galway will be able to live with in the final.

There is barely a show that doesn't have an ex Kerry player as a pundit so it will be put down simply as northern defensive tactics.

They were every bit as guilty as Derry today and at least Derry had the excuse that they don't have the attacking players up front to play any differently.

[imtommygunn]

Kerry's biggest attacking threat was their wing half back. They have massive scoring threat in a few forwards and then Moynihan/ geaney don't have huge threat. Brosnan starting to add a bit mind you.

[gallsman]

Geaney was finished about 5/6 years ago. Have no idea how he's still getting a game.

Watch JOD claim it's all derrys fault on their weekly pod.

Armagh are at a shot to nothing. Rattle Clifford like today. OShea and Geaney don't like close attention.

Kerry MF poor. Derry dominated them in the air. Running on fumes.

Armagh have better subs than Derry.

Same. Great on his day but unfortunately for him that was a while ago. Some of the brothers are better now.

Armagh finish games stronger but much weaker in midfield and half back. Stronger up front though and definitely more depth.

RTE with a good few angles of the second Fallon yellow. A clear foul and yellow card. "Shoulder to shoulder" my hole.

Parkinson, the f**king eejit, was calling it the worst red card decision ever 

Having seen it again I think it was harsher than I first thought but at the same time was an awful and unnecessary risk for Fallon to take. He made the referee make a decision and he had no need to.

I think the first one was a clear black card as well not yellow.

It was a frontal charge into his chest and stomach. For some reason Fallon decided to bea near double over. He also made sure he stuck the elbow in. How on earth was it harsh?!

It was harsher than I first thought. In real time I thought it was a clear third man tackle. I think it was a clear yellow.
