Enda McGinley and Niall McCoy join Mikey Stafford and Rory O'Neill to look ahead to the two Ulster SFC matches taking place this weekend.The lads also reflect on the careers of John Costello, the retiring Dublin CEO, and Fergal Horgan, the resigning hurling referee.Fermanagh welcome Derry to Brewster Park and its relaid pitch, with the home side raring to test themselves against the reigning provincial champions and one of the spring's form teams.However Enda believes Rory Gallagher's lean squad will be tested by Under-20 commitments and injuries, with the potential absence of Conor Glass a major worry.That said, everyone predicts a win for the Oakleaf County who will want to put the league final collapse against Dublin behind them.Enda is nervous about Monaghan's visit to Healy Park, where Tyrone don't always enjoy home comforts, however there seems to be a resurgence evident in Tyrone, who Rory believes do not play as defensively as many other teams.Niall has issues with the seeding and structure of the All-Ireland group stages, which he suggests makes losing an Ulster semi-final far more appealing than losing a final.
