'A lot of questions to be answered' for Derry
BBC Sport NI analyst Philly McMahon says there are "a lot of questions to be answered" for Derry after their 1-25 to 1-15 defeat by Donegal in their opening Ulster SFC encounter at eight-time All-Ireland winner with Dublin told the BBC's GAA Social podcast he believes the Oak Leafers' relatively late appointment of Paddy Tally as their new boss in November may have put them on the back were relegated from Division One last month after picking up just a single point from their seven Football League outings."They had a slow start to the season with being back so late with Paddy Tally and his management team so that's quite difficult for them to get going," said McMahon."That probably fed into their league campaign. I think they had shown good spells in the league. They could have got a couple more points on the board but that has bled into today's [Sunday's] game."There was one team that was showing confidence and another that is showing under-confidence, under-performance. How they get it together now over the next few weeks is going to be important for them."There are a lot of questions to be answered and they'll have time to build on things."McMahon believes the fact that Ambrose Rogers was Derry's standout player was both a positive and a negative."They're trying to get results and performances but sometimes that can be counter-productive because you do your own thing or you don't do what you should be doing."You look at [Ambrose] Rogers and for me he was the only player who was giving it to Donegal as much as he could."That's a good thing and a bad thing. When you see someone standing out like that it's like 'what's their system, what's their structure?' "The one thing I'd have questioned going away from today, 'Did they have a plan? If they stuck to that plan and they lost then their standards weren't high enough, but if they went out and didn't stick to their strategy or their gameplan then why did they not?"Listen to the GAA Social on BBC Sounds right here

'I almost became Derry manager'
Eight-time All-Ireland winner Philly McMahon has revealed that he was offered the opportunity to become the new manager of Derry before Paddy Tally was appointed to the role in former Dublin player, now a BBC Sport NI analyst, told The GAA Social that he gave the offer to succeed Mickey Harte as Oak Leafers boss serious consideration. "I met the guys behind the scenes from Derry and they came down to me and offered me the job," explained the 37-year-old."I had to go through a couple of things, I had to get the right people with me, I had to speak to my wife and I have a three-year-old so they were my priority first of all."I spoke to a couple of bodies that I had an interest in bringing in and basically I was a couple of days from giving that decision and the guys that I was talking to basically said, 'Paddy's looking to take the job'."I just said to the guys, 'if there's somebody 100% in then you're better off giving it to them because they're 100%, I'm not'."McMahon was speaking after being part of the punditry team for Derry's 1-25 to 1-15 defeat by Donegal in their Ulster SFC preliminary round tie at Ballybofey on two-time All Star added that he would remain interested in becoming an inter-county manager."It was a very interesting opportunity. The support behind the scenes seems very good and that's what enticed me but maybe it has set me up for the next opportunity."I'd like to try, I'd like to dip my toe in [to inter-county management]. I'm really passionate about performance coaching and that's sort of management in itself."It's something I've done in all my career, the fitness industry and managing people, trying to get the best out of people, which I think as a coach or manager you have to do."Listen to the GAA Social on BBC Sounds right here
