Its great to see all the tremendous singers, popstars, songwriters, Hoganstand posters, politicians, boxers and soccer stars that Derry have given us.

Clearly, they haven't given us much in the way of Gaelic Footballers and Hurlers in the last 25 years but I suppose we can't hold that against them.

I like Derry too, I'm sure it must get pretty depressing for your average Derry person to be constantly living in the shadow of their rivals Tyrone, but please don't be dis-heartened, one day I'm sure ye will be rated alongside the Meaths, the Mayos, the Kerrys of this world.

Keep up the good work Derry.

Derry is without the top GAA county in Ulster as well.

Gregory Campbell has also been a wonderful servant to the Oak Leaf county

Although being an inferior footballing county there are many things to admire about Derry including the inspiration that was Eamon Coleman and the late great Francis Hughes. Also the passsion of Tony Scullion delivering a pre-match team talk would make the hair stand on the back of yer neck.

There's a chance I'll love Armagh and Meath by Sunday night, but there are certain permutations for this.

There is no denying some wonderful aspects of Derrys history. Nadine may not be amongst the countys greatest but only she has some amazing footsteps to follow not least two nobel winners. I'd be a bigger fan however of the lovely Cara Dillon from Dungiven:

No female vocalist since Mary Black/Sarah McLachlan has brought me to a standstill the way Cara has. I hope she has a great career. I also am a great fan of Tohill/Paddy Bradley and the lovely Joe Brolly who we have now adopted in Tyrone. In saying that there is no team I take greater joy in beating!

loyal2theroyal. tbh derrys 1 all ireland in my view was beter than any of tyrones because in that day there was no backdoor system something that we should revert to. tyrone would not have won as many all irelands without this system!

As I worked in Derry City for about 7-8 years I can't argue with the DERRY GIRLS being stunning and the friendliness of the people, the City of song and spoken word, but I still would rather have my pretty little girl from Omagh and have Juliet Turner on my i pod rather than Nadine Coyle , Fergal Sharkey or Dana.
