As much as I want Derry to win of course, I just don't see it happening yet unfortunately. Derry are definitely improving and we will for sure be a bigger and better in the next 3-4 years. Predict that it will be tighter that previous years; I see us going in at half time up by a few points but then Tyrone will find their momentum and go on to win. If we put in a good performance and put it up to them ill be happy. Tyrone by 4-6. oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 808 - 02/05/2019 19:25:22 2181523 Link 0 |
Yeah I agree on this. Don't think it will be a hammering but Tyrone far stronger in most areas. The one thing that stuck me during the past two Derry matches was Derry's lack of fitness and conditioning. The one thing Tyrone and Derry should be even in is the fitness levels of each player. They should be close to Tyrone's fitness levels this year. Derry have some good players but Tyrone better in most positions. Tyrone by 6.

Should be comfortable enough for Tyrone. Derry have a few dangerous lads like McGuigan and Bradley but not enough to worry Tyrone's defence too much. TakeyourPoint. (Tyrone) - Posts: 133 - 03/05/2019 10:47:31 2181603 Link 0 |
Tyrone will absolutely destroy Derry. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 03/05/2019 11:04:36 2181606 Link 3 |
Tyrone have a lot more scoring options and I expect Tyrone to beat (-7) handicap. Armagh could be favourite to host if Antrim V Tyrone. Byanthon (Tyrone) - Posts: 1780 - 03/05/2019 11:06:50 2181608 Link 0 |
Can't see this one being close. At the end of the day Derry are a division 4 team. Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 913 - 03/05/2019 12:43:18 2181637 Link 0 |
It's championship football and you never can tell. Never count the chickens till they're hatched. Now does anyone know where I can watch or listen to this game tomorrow. border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 894 - 11/05/2019 12:56:29 2183088 Link 0 |

I think you were letting Derry's league position fool you here.

If Darren Mc Curry is able to celebrate scoring a goal by flexing his leg imagine what he'd be like if he won an all ireland.!!!! theweanling (Cavan) - Posts: 414 - 13/05/2019 10:06:32 2183520 Link 0 |
How bad was the ref ? How did Colm Cavanagh not get the line ? How many cynical fouls did he get away with ? The leg kick should of been a straight red. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 13/05/2019 15:59:55 2183709 Link 3 |
Tyrone struggling against a division 4 Derry wasn't what I was expecting to see after all the discussion of their rebirth as an all out attacking superpower. greatpoint (USA) - Posts: 427 - 13/05/2019 17:10:44 2183736 Link 1 |
The attacking flare was there in spells,mc Shane got 0-7 and man of the match,and at the end of the day a 6 point win is a fairly decisive win. I would also just say that I never expected it to be a walk over because of the intense rivalry,the ulster championship being what it is and as Mickey Harte said Derry were never a div 4 team and they're not anymore,there div 3 now. A good win for us and fair play to Derry for fighting all the way.

Hammering Derry and then Antrim is not great preparation for playing Donegal in a semi final. Offside_Rule (Antrim) - Posts: 4058 - 13/05/2019 21:04:07 2183814 Link 1 |
Good man. That is very graceful of you. Unfortunately attitudes like yours are not very common on this forum. Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 913 - 14/05/2019 08:27:53 2183877 Link 0 |
No bother - just go easy on us. Can't handle distraught weans on the journey back from Armagh or wherever.

Tyrone may not have played as well as expected but Derry impressed and McGuigan looks a quality player. Byanthon (Tyrone) - Posts: 1780 - 14/05/2019 12:30:27 2183951 Link 0 |
Dery have the makings of a good team I think provided McErlain can maintain harmony in the camp. A few of them could do with eating a few more spuds as well. What was wrong with Emmet Bradley the last day? He was very impressive against us last year. Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9155 - 14/05/2019 13:43:59 2183973 Link 0 |
Yeah it was close. Derry raised their game, Tyrone weren't at their best. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 14/05/2019 13:47:41 2183975 Link 0 |
