Brian McIver doesn't agree that the draw for this year's Ulster SFC is lop-sided.

McIver's Derry have been drawn against Down, with the winners facing either Tyrone or Donegal for a place in the provincial decider. Meanwhile, Cavan, Fermanagh, Antrim, Armagh and Monaghan make up the other side of the draw.

"There is no such thing as lop-sided games," the Derry boss says in the Irish Daily Mirror.

"I don't care who comes through what side of the draw and I don't care who comes through from the other side of the draw to reach the Ulster final, they are guaranteed to give you some game of football.

"People can talk about the difference between Division One, Two and Three but anyone getting Ulster this year will know if they get Monaghan, who win Division Three in some style, they are going to be in for one hell of a game.

"That is why it is such a great championship." Tweet
