Torn between wanting a strong Donegal to compete for Ulster at All Ireland level and want the underdogs Derry to beat Donegal and be a force again at All Ireland level. sam2008 (Tyrone) - Posts: 796 - 11/07/2021 17:00:14 2358652 Link
Spillane at it again being annoyingly annoying trying to interrupt Cora and Sean. sam2008 (Tyrone) - Posts: 796 - 11/07/2021 17:03:36 2358654 Link
Cracking game imo, not for the purists but very competitive Galway9801 (Galway) - Posts: 1697 - 11/07/2021 17:30:50 2358664 Link

Truth is you'd rather meet Derry than Donegal, heading for extra time here? Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2737 - 11/07/2021 17:35:52 2358669 Link

Excellent game. Derry could have, should have but didn't. Donegal had wiser heads. IsMise (Tyrone) - Posts: 119 - 11/07/2021 17:45:47 2358679 Link

Great game. Derry are back as a serious team. Brilliant point to win it. Experience won it for Donegal, they would have found a way to equalise if it had been them a point down. But brilliant match to watch. carlovia (None) - Posts: 1517 - 11/07/2021 17:50:03 2358683 Link
Unfortunately the Derry lads bottled at the end & nobody stepped up. . Was a great game. Derry will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming years. greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 11/07/2021 17:50:28 2358684 Link
What a game and fair play to the Ulster Championship, it throws up these battles; the championship needed that. You'd have to be gutted for Derry and congratulations to Donegal. In championship terms experience got them through it, but are Donegal a team you can consider for All Ireland honours at this stage; hard to see them as contenders against the top sides. I feel with Cavan last year, Derry today, Armagh in the league, the gap within Ulster is closing on them and I think over the next year or two that will become more obvious, when they'll need more than experience to get over the line. In All Ireland terms Donegal wouldn't be at the same level or close to Dublin or Kerry and I don't see this changing. They'll be delighted tonight and rightly so; but Tyrone will see them as beatable next Sunday. Looking forward to that one though. What a point to win it there today as well. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 11/07/2021 17:51:37 2358685 Link
Replying To joeteor: "Derry will be gutted, the better side for me" Best game of the championship this year. Excellent intensity and top defending. This is what a game looks like, none of your basketball practice games. Derry on the wrong side of a couple of picky decisions and missed a couple of goals. Outside Ulster, nobody would have give Derry much of a chance. Uladh Abu! Tyrone should head up the road to Derry and take some lessons on how to defend. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 11/07/2021 17:51:49 2358686 Link
Paddy McBrearty is a legend! That was a cracking game of football and Derry were the better team and they are going to be a force for the next few years. For Doneagal, we are showing some real resiliance this year when is encouraging. Hopefully, this will give the boys confidence going forward.

Felt Derry probably deserved extra time at least. The fear not to shoot was shocking. Jus let it off and hope for the best. That been said a enjoyable game. However no one in ulster will bother either Dublin or Kerry. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 11/07/2021 17:56:27 2358690 Link
Well we got over the line, Derry played very well and we weren't at the races till the last 20 mins or so when we could see the exit door, that game will do us good just hope Murph didn't make the injury worse, Odhran was pure class when he came on, great points from Brennan and Paddy at the end such a fantastic point worthy of winning any match. Hard luck to Derry, onwards we go. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2737 - 11/07/2021 17:57:01 2358692 Link
Replying To achara: "Unbelievable bit of play there at the end, over the time and nobody will shoot, they had nothing to lose jesus!" You're talking about a Rory Gallagher managed team here, all natural football has been trained out of them. petejoeduff (Donegal) - Posts: 329 - 11/07/2021 17:57:36 2358693 Link
