Sure it's a well known fact that Derry's only purpose is to play the beautiful game, if only the other teams would let them.

Exactly! nice to see a good honest analysis of the game

And lets not forget Monaghan, sure all they want to do is hit people if only the ref would let them

Monaghan seems to be a hotbed of english clubs recruiting, is there a scouting link up in the area? Seem to lose a fair bit of local talent to soccer, and rugby to an extent.

Dick clerkin should try out for Rugby, never seen a man as good at kicking for touch. Apparently Declan Kidney is looking him for cover for Ronan O'Gara for Autumn Tour.

It's on TV3. That's as much as i know. Doubt it's online. Best bet is probably online radio - northernsound.ie or another local/regional station broadcasting on the net. That's my plan.

if its on tv3 does that not mean that setanta are covering it worldwide?

Heard a whisper that the game has been moved from Clones.....Anyone confirm??

thebandit · July 15, 2008, 10:54:09 AM

Wouldn't think so Oakleafer

Uladh · July 15, 2008, 11:04:05 AM

If it's a wet weekend will the clones pitch be fit for two games?

lynchbhoy · July 15, 2008, 11:51:16 AM

kevin mcguckin was the star performer against fermanagh in our defence

Are you serious? McGuckian let stood off his man for the entire match and then tried to shephard him out with the ball...a defender should be trying to get the ball first day and if that fails then shephard the forward out...he seems to be doing it all wrong IMO.

be careful - some people think yuve got a pick on him if you dont hail him as the best man we have

mhacadoir · July 15, 2008, 02:08:17 PM

is the game all ticket or just the gerry arthurs?

ExiledGael · July 15, 2008, 06:20:30 PM

On a normal day without any major delays you'd do Enniskillen to Clones in about 45 minutes, certainly well less than an hour.

haranguerer · July 15, 2008, 06:51:48 PM

Monaghan weren't great to start with, and now they've lost two key players. Their manager demonstrated perfectly their strength in depth by putting Rory Woods back on against Fermanagh. Last year, they built a lot of confidence up on their run, which carried them to victories. That confidence is bound to have being shattered after going down tamely to Fermanagh.
Derry were missing Doherty against Fermanagh, and it showed. They were realistic contenders, and one loss doesnt change this. Theres a lot of pressure off them, and they have a lot to prove.

I'm thinking convincing Derry win. Anyone any reasons why not?
