But if management are calling Derry’s bluff then we need to be on our game with getting that rumour out there.

There are stories going around about how we are to react to rumours

Remember O’Neill to Grugan v Donegal, 10 seconds after throw in? That’s what we need to be doing v Derry. Keep them on their toes, spread the play, make the pitch bigger.

We have players capable of driving the ball long, and we have players capable of fielding high ball.

Rian tried something similar to Andrew Murnin following the throw in against Down last Sunday, unfortunately it didn't reap the same rewards as against Donegal last year but still worth trying.

Jaysus you'd nearly forget there was a game of football to be played Sunday week. To hell with casement, it'll get built some day, clones it is for now. How do people see the match ups? Will we push up on kickouts or concede them short to Derry to try and sit deep, soak pressure and break? Will we go man for man and surprise them?

My gut on this one is that we will sit deep and try and hit with pace on the break. I think we will see a gameplan similar to that against Galway and Kerry in the league. Arguably that gameplay should have taken something from both games. So it will be an interesting tactical battle.

Who gets the nod in the half forward line? Hall or Cumisky? Do we bring in McCambridge from the start again? Will Crealey be fit to start and who partners him at midfield. Back to the game in hand here.
I think we will drop back off kick out because they have a very big midfield, think Ciaran mackin will track Rodgers, I think Chrissy mckague marks Rian with McCloskey on turbitt, I think forker on mcguigan (maybe double up) and Conor O'Neill on Doherty, interesting to see who picks up McFaul and who marks murnin

They might put Rodgers on Rian to track him out the field.

will tickets go on ticketmaster this week? Personally i cant see it. Looks like lots of genuine fans are going to miss out
 
14 point wins in 2 provincial finals. Lopsided to say the least. Chances are the dubs win by double digits next week as well. If ever there was an advertisement for provincial winners only to Sam groups stages, this first year is it.
Have to agree with this, provincial winners should be the only seeded teams and the rest based on league positions. Also so disheartening and frustrating looking at two half empty stadiums with seats galore, knowing that there are countless Armagh and Derry fans who want to attend Ulster final to support their county but cannot because Ulster has no fit for purpose stadium.
