It's called a knockout competition. Denmark and Spain are in the same position now as North Macedonia and Turkey. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 11/07/2021 21:58:37 2358787 Link 4 |

I thought Derry deserved to be given that penalty and Donegal are brilliant with Murphy but ordinary without him. border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 894 - 11/07/2021 22:03:44 2358791 Link 0 |

Ulster teams would have dominated the super 8's,tough one on Derry with no second chance but they are a real team and will do well in div 2 no doubt, heading for div1. All Ireland series as it is suits Dublin Kerry and Mayo, Ulster teams are at a serious disadvantage having come through a bruising competitive Ulster campaign, at the same time I wouldn't swap Ulster for anything. Really looking forward to next Sunday now. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2745 - 11/07/2021 22:17:43 2358796 Link 2 |

I was apprehensive before this game. I thought it would go to the wire, and I was right. Hard luck Derry. Very brave effort. We were in serious trouble and would have been beaten had that goal chance been converted. Good going our lads. Delighted that Niall O'Donnell came of age today. Likewise Langan. Hopefully we can bring this spirit to the next game and put it up to Tyrone. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 11/07/2021 23:00:53 2358803 Link 1 |

Firstly, hard luck to Derry and Rory Gallagher. It was the best championship performance by Derry against us in a good while. I think they last beat us in 2008? Rory gets a lot of stick for his approach but he has a lot of good players there now and it would have been very interesting to see them go on a qualifier run. I think if we had the old style qualifiers they would definitely have been in the mix for a quarter final spot. With a wee bit more experience they could have engineered a free at the end, or at least someone to have the composure to land an equalizer from play.

I hope after watching yesterdays game Flaker that you'll now understand that my assessment was in fact the correct one. On reflection, maybe the only ones who underestimated Derry and Ulster football was yourself and regandgreen. AfricanGael (UK) - Posts: 1947 - 12/07/2021 12:41:42 2358970 Link 1 |

I don't pay a bit of heed to the media when it comes to assessing a team, I'm assuming you feel Dublin are miles ahead of Kerry. If you look at Dublin as being 100, where do you see Kerry, Mayo and Donegal, Galway, Tyrone and Monaghan ? AfricanGael (UK) - Posts: 1947 - 12/07/2021 13:23:30 2358988 Link 0 |

You really don't get it. Donegal were poor but they won. Tyrone won handy. Derry have improved, they lost to an underperforming Donegal team. Let's see what happens next year. You are a tremendous fan of your own analysis. I look forward to reading your predictions for the rest of the games.

I'll tell you what I'm a fan of, people with balls who can admit when they get something wrong, they are the real men here, very few and far between though. Read Paddy Power, he seems to be your man for predictions. AfricanGael (UK) - Posts: 1947 - 12/07/2021 13:49:08 2358999 Link 0 |

I have to admit I enjoyed the Donegal Derry game for excitement although it was like a basketball game as BBC commentator said with lots of holding possession and keep ball. I was impressed with Derry but hats off to Donegal who showed great calmness to come back fromm 4 down in 2nd half. Congrats to both teams.

Really enjoyed this game yesterday. I thought Derry were the better team, but 3 or 4 goal chances and didn't take any of them. I think McBreartys point was the first time Donegal led in the whole match. Chrissy McKaigue was outstanding as usual, best man marker in the country. Hopefully the Derry lads stay at it and push for an Ulster title next year. They have lots of good underage teams coming through too. 97Cavans (Cavan) - Posts: 317 - 12/07/2021 14:20:51 2359016 Link 0 |

Read Paddy Power, he seems to be your man for predictions."]Your logic is a little flawed here. All week I argued with people saying there would be no shock in either game, and I said there was zero chance of a shock in the Tyrone game, zero chance. So is that not putting it out there and not sitting on the fence? As I said I look forward to your analysis and predictions or do you just waffle and tell people their analysis is wrong without actually predicting how the game will go?

I think Donegal are a good team but even playing at their best I do not think there is an All-Ireland in that current squad. Do you think there is ?

I didn't even make a prediction for Tyrone v Cavan, not even worthy of a mention, you'd hardly expect brownie points for predicting Mayo would beat Leitrim would you.

Sorry, but predicting Tyrone to beat Cavan isn't much above predicting that Mayo would beat Leitrim and that's why I wouldn't insult my own intelligence by even mentioning it. So do you believe Donegal are good enough to win an All-Ireland playing at their best or not ? AfricanGael (UK) - Posts: 1947 - 12/07/2021 16:36:41 2359092 Link 0 |
