John Morrison on Radio Ulster said that Derry were brittle.

Another miserable championship for a county that should be doing so much better.

[joemamas]

how many total wides for derry

[glens73]

I think Monaghan had more, especially in the first half

Chris Brown on Radio Ulster blames it on bad luck.

10 Derry wides in the 2nd half


Derry bossed the midfield in the 2nd half but come out beaten - I thought there was a score for Derry but umpire waved it wide ??

It looked over on the tv, although the replays from behind the goal were useless.

The umpire appeared to have waved it wide before it even crossed the endline though.

Yeah didn't think it was possible for tv3 coverage to be as bad as the job they done on the rugby but fair play to the boys the have excelled themselves , Cooper is a brutul host but when you have hayes, our own Db and a few others thrown in it reallly is brutul

I have sat on the sofa (not normally an armchair supporter but i couldt make this particular match) for a while since the match was over.  I wasnt gonna say anything negative until I heard PC post match interview but...

f**k YOU PC - you admit MF was poor but you still name and blame your best forward for missing a free near the end of the game.  How big a coward are you that you hide behind your players who have tried their best for you all year.  Most members on this board are of the one opinion that you are not good enough for the county job.  I have tried to remain diplomatic but in my opinion your interview was the most blatant act of cowardice I have seen for some time.   If you want to get my details from the board and sue me go ahead but in my opinion you arre despicable for what you have tried to do.  My conscience is clear.  You deserve no loyalty for the may you have behaved this year.

Goodbye and good riddance

Its amazing how different people perceive things. I thought it was a run of the mill interview and he mentioned Bradley's free as an example of some of Derry's wides (he also mentioned the one that looked over). I certainly did not interpret it as blaming Bradley, more that it was a free that he would normally score, but was unlucky on this occasion. But there you go!

I thought Derry bossed the midfield in the 2nd half and Derry icked themselved out of it in the 2nd half with 10 wides - I didn't really take out of the interview that he was being hard on Paddy Bradley - I merely thought that he was pointing out that it was in the melting pot and the result could have been SO much different had Derry not kicked 10 wides and had Paddy not missed the easy free - he also pointed out that the umpire had a big influence on the outcome as well.

I know you're disappointed and angry but I genuinely don't think he was blaming Paddy for getting beat.
