    It would be great to see Derry get the upset here. Would be a brilliant result for football. They only lost to a Tyrone side, who along with Dublin and Kerry, look to be one of the top 3 teams in the country. Mayo with be favorites no doubt but Derry will have 31 counties behind them.

    We get it. You’re both obsessed with and hate Mayo. You don’t need to keep saying the same scutter every time Mayo play
