For anyone interested, there are about 40 tickets available through the GAA's online portal right in a lovely spot in the middle of the stand in Brewster Park (section EU) for this weekend's Fermanagh v Armagh game, as well as a few others

Cahair O'Kane The thing is nearly all of those who are anti split season are not players. It is a purely selfish stand point. They don’t understand or care about player welfare or the effect overlapping seasons has on the club season.

A small bit of positive news that Monaghan's Darren Hughes is home out of hospital tonight and there's nothing broken in his leg. An MRI in the coming days will determine the extent of ligament damage but I think we all feared it could be a really horrific one

It'll be of no comfort to Darren Hughes but if he was ever going to get injured, it was going to be through absolute fearlessness and having no regard for himself or anything other than winning the ball. Monaghan owe him a big 20 minutes

Damien Donohoe had the stat in the Anglo Celt during the week that Paddy Lynch has only missed six frees all year. Serious kicking into that wind, Cavan well in it, they'll feel they've played really well there

McManus' reading of the flight of a kick pass is so good, how many times has he spun a defender like that, knowing his man is gonna dive in

So much focus on Rory Beggan but it's the two middle eights that are the height of Monaghan's clash with Cavan. The physical profile of both teams has changed so much in that area. There's opportunity in that for Cavan, if they're willing to be brave

Darren McDonnell named to start for Monaghan but with Rory Beggan at 16 amid widespread speculation that Beggan will start. No Stephen O'Hanlon, Andrew Woods, Dessie Ward or Ryan McAnespie in the 26, Micheal Bannigan on the bench. No Killian Clarke or Dara McVeety for Cavan

Studied Marcus Rashford in that last half hour. It's obscene that somebody would be paid £375,000 for the effort he's put in since coming on. Surely the absolute base level is to try. Never showed for an outball, not one run in behind, watched men jogging past him. Ridiculous

Some justified criticism of Dublin's kickout press at the weekend but think Odhran Lynch deserves credit. Retaining their own ball is something Derry have struggled with in big games. Complete change of approach on Sunday, had so many options & his decision making was excellent

Column: Great football is all really just attitudes. When two teams want to play the way Derry and Dublin did on Sunday, the spectacle is scintillating. We all talk about change but what if change won't actually change a thing?

Eoin McEvoy: Last year’s big find could be this summer’s breakout player. Getting in behind defences now with a real confidence to go for goal with no messing. Hit 2-2 and more than covered himself defensively.

So difficult to put those two hours of football into words and context. Gave it a go.

Derry stand on their own two feet in epic win over Dublin.

After an incredible game of football, Derry are National League champions. They had it won, lost it, won it again, lost it again and finally got the right side of it. A seventh Division One title in Derry's history. Where to begin with a report on that
