Derry V Armagh

ShamoBuc

15 gone in this one Derry 5 Armagh 4 and it is a seriously enjoyable game of football!!
One or two of the points scored were top class.

Fireball07

Good game so far, nice football.

Some fantastic points- Mark Lynch and Jamie Clarke both scored really nice ones.

Is it my TV or are the armagh jerseys more red than Orange?

Same reddish colour they've always been to my eyes.

Gotta wonder how that could've been a yellow card, if it was a deliberate kick in the face surely it has to be a red, if it was accidental then why would any action be taken?

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Wasn't deliberate imo. Harsh to give him a yellow

Eoin Bradley is pure class when he's on form, very stylish player...and he's on form today. That last point was a beauty.

ShamoBuc

Very well finished move there for the derry goal.

Fireball07

And I was just about to say Lynch is impressive today and that was a fantastic finish. Derry look good. Great build-up play.


Hearty's a fine keeper too. Possibly the best around.

Hammer Archer

Goal for Derry. Fantastic game so far. Some unbelievable scores from both sides.

STB

Derry are certainly fired up. Armagh no score for 15 minutes!

ShamoBuc

ht Derry 1-08 v Armagh 0-06 good game of ball so far. Derry forwards playing with great confidence but I would imagine they could see a red in the second half - alot of yellows banded about in the first half.

Indie.

Bradley at full forward is causing havoc. Armagh being cleaned out at midfield also

Indie.

Some start for Armagh and a nice goal aswel. Shaping up for a good second half

Fireball07

Great goal from Armagh and a really good response from Derry, fine point.

ShamoBuc

Setting up to be a cracker of a second half.

Mr.Crinklewood

Decent response from Derry.

Mr.Crinklewood

On a side point, this game should never had been played in Clones.

ShamoBuc

bookings adding up now, I hope a late tackle or something doesn't lead to a red as it will change the game for the worse I think.

Indie.

two poor misses by both teams there

Cill Dara Abu

God that Martin Carney is a pain in the hole

ShamoBuc

great goal by Bradley!

Indie.

unbelievable goal there. Bradley has been un-markable today

Fireball07

Fantastic goal from Bradley, what a finish!


Derry are very good going forward.

Hammer Archer

Game over. Another great goal.

Kojak

It seems a very open game for the Ulster championship.

Looks like its Derry's to loose at this stage.

ShamoBuc

couple of fast points by armagh, 4 between the teams!

K-9

Well that's what they call a game changer.

ShamoBuc

Rocket of a goal by Derry...... seconds after Armagh came very close to getting one of their own!

Fireball07

Another cracking goal from Derry, Gilligan this time.


And McDonnell would have scored that goal a couple of years ago, I think.

Indie.

Some turnaround there. Armagh miss a great goal chance. Derry go on the counter attack and get their third goal

Brian017

A Cracking finish from Gilligan. A 6 point swing!

STB

Game of the championship so far, without doubt.

macadam

Great bit of finishing, saves and the odd bad miss this game has it all..

COMON MAN! HOW DID IT GO!!!!!

Hammer Archer

Hmmm. The Armagh number 2 seemed to strike bradley in the chest there. The way the referees have been performing the last few weeks surely that was a red.

ShamoBuc

Derry management have had a good day at the office!

ShamoBuc

11 years since their last Ulster final - they will be very hard to beat!

Hammer Archer

Good lord. Only 2 teams have won the Ulster championship since 1998? That's shocking.

don't have a look at Munster so....not far off that.

Edit just checked......:eek:

Joe Brolly sounds like he's had a shandy.

Stoner

Not a bad game, but why oh why do we have to watch and Listen to Brolly big up his team, he sould not be on for his county games, It's unfair.

Yep, was a Donegal Derry final that year.

It will simply give more pleasure when they lose and he starts to squirm and rant......quality tv when he does that!

fasttalkerchat

3-14 to 1-11 final score

Didn't he back Armagh before the game?.And how is it unfair?

K-9

BBC2 NI is far superior for coverage.

Browney7

Stevie MacDonnells goal miss that time was crucial. Had he scored that I think Armagh would have won. Instead Derry broke and went up the field and wrapped up the game.

Gave Bradley a criminal amount of space. Derry packed the defense and once any Armagh attack broke down they booted it to Bradley and he was lethal.

The Down form hasn't exactly stood up now.

But they don't have Brolly talking french and Spillane talking Latin.

Have to say that was a great display of football from Derry. That new manager has them playing a great style of football with a huge work ethic from his players.
What most impressed me was there kick passing which was some of the best i have seen in a long time. Eoin Bradley was unreal in that game too and looked unplayable today.
That first Derry goal was top quality aswell.

They actually try and play an open game, obviously today they had to be cautious, the talent is there all they need is the consistency.

Bradley and Gilligan scored 2-3 from play and created most of the frees they knocked over also. I'm shocked that armagh kept trying to play these guys 1-on-1 today.

Stinicker

Tyrone have shown little form this year and unless they improve alot I can see Derry winning the Ulster title, I actually wouldn't be surprised to see Donegal giving Tyrone a run for their money and I expect Derry to be the dark horse that Down was last year, and Down themselves may re-spark yet through the back door.
