Can see putting fermanagh putting it up to derry right to the end but i think and hope that we should pull away in the end.Derry by 4/5

Eamon Maguire has been our best forward now for a number of years. Two footed, a great leap, accurate, always shows and an eye for a goal - he has a lot of great attributes.

I have a suspicion that on Sunday night in Healy Park, when all eyes will be on the Bradley's, it could be "Wee Man" that steps up and makes his name on the intercounty stage as one of the best forwards in Ulster.

I have a sneaky feeling Fermanagh are going to win this.

I think Derry have better players no doubt but I think they showed against Donegal that they are tactically very very limited and Fermanagh under O'Rourke will be far from it. Also Doherty is a big loss - I'm not sure those two midfielders will complement each other - who's going to hold?

Fermanagh by two.

(I don't mind who wins it by the way.)

Also I doubt that Fermanagh will ever get a better chance to win Ulster. Their bogey team seems to be Tyrone who are now out and like someone else said Ulster football isn't really at it's peak at the minute.

The night of the Donegal team, the Sunday Game team basically showed the country how Derry clear the right corner forward slot for P Bradley to run into, Tohill was amazed that Donegal did nothing about it. So that's a start for Fermanagh. Derry are still reliant on Bradley and if they can keep him quiet they're a good distance down the road to beating them. There are a few Derry backs that aren't as good as Paddy Heaney would have us believe. It's a definite banana skin for Derry.
Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry and the world will turn.

First time I've seen Bradley go into that corner as much. He usually runs to the other predominetly.

I have never seen any point in Fermanagh. Has anyone else?

Sssshhhh you. Dont be giving it away.

There has been a lot of talk about Derrys mental strength for this game. A few years ago I would have been worried about that. Not now however. I believe that there is a more steely determination about this particular group of players. They know that this year is the one where they have to prove to the country that they are a good team. Now or never, so to speak. Last year, or previous years, we would have lost that game in Ballybofey. The time is now for this group and they know it. The question is, can Fermanagh deliver now that the weight of expectation seems to be on them? If this message board can be taken as a cross section of the support, there is a fair few who think Fermanagh can win. So possibly the onus is on the green team to prevail.

Fermanagh are a good side, lets make no mistake about that, and have the potential to have a good run in the qualifiers. I just think that this game is a bridge too far for them. A lot has been said about their nippy forwards, but Derry have a few nippy defenders as well. Were not all brawn and no brains.

From my biased perspective, there are too many question marks over too many Fermanagh players in regards as how they shape up to being on the back foot. If that happens. If we can stamp our authority on the game early, then I believe that a final appearance, our first since 00, is there for the taking

Good question. Well, let's set this scenario:

Would you ride an off-spring of the Brewsters or an off-spring of the Tohills?

In all honesty now.

No, no point at all. They should concentrate on the hurling so as to have an excuse for being crap at football. Ulster titles seem handy enough to come by in it at least!

The older and slower wans will be by shortly shaking their sticks at ye. You might have time to plan an attack.

The women is on her way over with some beer for me to sit and watch the match ;D as I have been bus at work all day ;D

ONeill

Some shower of in-breds in the one place at the same time. Must be a record.
