Tyrone over hyped..? Tyrone defensively Weak..? Would take a brave man to bet on this one..? Really..? No real surprises here for me. Some nice Scores in really bad conditions though but I can see more Tyrone goals 2nd half. Poor Derry support for a Home game. Cant see much change for 2nd half but would be nice to see Derry make a game of it. InishowenMan (Donegal) - Posts: 216 - 22/05/2016 14:57:04 1857309 Link
Replying To MesAmis: "Derry are playing atrociously bad. Walking the ball into Tyrone players and just handing possession away time and time again. Tyrone barely outta 1st gear and already 9 points up. Big improvement needed from Derry if they're to keep the final margin below 15 points" Couldnt ask for a better first half. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 22/05/2016 14:57:54 1857310 Link
Just hope Derry decide to play for a bit of pride and not decide to go down into the mire if the game seems beyond them. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 22/05/2016 14:59:41 1857312 Link
Seanie boy Yeah great half from the Tyrone lads. Playing some lovely football. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 22/05/2016 15:07:37 1857314 Link
Tyrone sending out a statement here. On s side note have the Sunday game done away with studio analysis? Looking very unprofessional standing in the rain with no studio. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 22/05/2016 15:07:47 1857315 Link
Tyrone being wastefull here. Dryer conditions seem to suit Derry more..some nice long scores from Derry also. InishowenMan (Donegal) - Posts: 216 - 22/05/2016 15:22:04 1857321 Link
Expected result. Can't judge Tyrone til they come up against a Monaghan or Donegal in Ulster. Or outside of that, Dublin, Kerry or Mayo in the AI series. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 22/05/2016 15:43:11 1857330 Link
A and B championship needed. Fair amount of teams in B as well. sponger (Wicklow) - Posts: 2897 - 22/05/2016 15:44:01 1857331 Link
Tyrone are a quality outfit. They have been rebuilding for a few years and their Under 21 players are starting to come through to the senior ranks. They don't just solely defend in numbers anymore, they attack in packs as well. I think they are one of the few teams who could actually give Dublin a competitive game. I am not saying they would beat them but Tyrone will have the belief to do so and it would be a fascinating match. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9706 - 22/05/2016 15:48:55 1857334 Link

I dont want to tell you this but they were employing a blanket defence there today... gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 22/05/2016 16:15:07 1857345 Link
"Got milk" Fermanagh - i watched Fermanagh v Antrim and against a 4th tier team that's exactly what you did - difference with this Tyrone team is their counterattack at speed. No doubt the Tyrone team would like to have a go at Fermanagh but doubt you will NOT get past next round. IrishGael3 (USA) - Posts: 1092 - 22/05/2016 16:52:29 1857363 Link
was it three sweepers that Tyrone had today? manfromdelmonte (UK) - Posts: 541 - 22/05/2016 16:52:39 1857364 Link
Replying To gotmilk: "I dont want to tell you this but they were employing a blanket defence there today..." No milk..you dont score 3-14 employing a blanket defence..they defended well but also attacked at pace in numbers and moved the ball quick look at their 1st goal.theres a big difference in defending well and going all out with the blanket..but you seem to like the idea of blanket defences so good for you..lets see how well them teams do this year..

Sweet Christ you either didn't watch the game or you don't understand what the 'blanket defence' is. Tyrone had all their own players in their own half at stages. Is that not mass defending? They defended with purpose today and attacked with purpose. Just because you rack up a high score, it doesn't mean you don't employ a blanket defence. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 22/05/2016 17:08:26 1857373 Link

Listen folks, the reality is my proud footballing county of Derry is a very average team, we conceded an average of 1-18 over the league campaign. Our form going into this match was nothing short of awful, you cannot gage how good or bad Tyrone are after today, they over ran Derry, won their individual battles and put the scores on the board. We on the other hand had no game plan and no Derry player showed the willingness to grab the game by the scruff of the neck and push the players around him on. it hurts me to say this 'the Derry Jersey has lost its respect within the county'.

Tyrone were immense today especially in the first half . The game was done and dusted by half time. Very impressive showing and showing why they are many people's tip for Ulster woops (Kerry) - Posts: 2073 - 22/05/2016 17:25:32 1857386 Link
