Karl McKaigue being out is a huge blow for Derry,not sure if they have the fowards to beat us I'm confident going into the game later this evening that we'll come out on the right side

It's interesting to note that the derry team is made up of 6 clubs, all of which are senior clubs. 9 of the 15 come from either slaughneil or glen. Armagh would always have players from junior and intermediate clubs.

The derry name is more attack minded than I was expecting although I'm presuming they will still set up defensively. If they don't, I'd worry for our defence as they have some big lads and our defenders are very small.

We certainly have the players to win.

So TG4 did very well on Friday with 'crowd' shots during the ladies game of people in their own homes decked out in the county colours. Would be great to have this as a feature during today's game. Would be some laugh to see us all signing in using our forum name! :)

They are set up to sit very very deep and transition at pace. They will be seriously well drilled and there wont be more than 2 or 3 points in this at thr final whistle. I do think we have enough to beat them but itll not be pretty.

Was it the time of the ash cloud we last played in Celtic Park in the championship I'm sure we played them in the league game which was a draw years after that game

I think you’re right. I couldn’t take the helicopter up to Celtic Park. I had to take the Glenshane along with you other peasants :rolleyes:

That weather can even things up a lot. The wind will be blowing towards the city so it will be a big factor in the game. The wind in Ballybofey is more a crosswind.

Conditions are brutal in both games on now so it will be the same in Derry could be a bit of a lottery , frees could win this match . Our discipline has to be better than the league . Best of luck to the team today .
