Would the county board play a county final in the athletic grounds?Is the precedent set? Or is it only if omagh are playing carmen We'll play it in omagh?

'Generally more about brute strength'.....what does that mean? More nonsense I suspect. Most if not all games in Tyrone now are about defence imo. Don't put yourself through it anymore redhand just don't go to carmen games.

Delighted. 2 points nearer safety.

Classic galer. You hope carrickmore get relegated maybe.....either that or you know as much about football than a cow knows about a holiday.

Your promotion of football is to be admired ose. Your record of a senior championship every 25 odd years not so. Keep up the good work.

I'm surprised that we haven't had the anti Martin sludden crowd on blaming him for the cancellation and the poor weather. Kildress are bound to be happy. They'll soon be able to claim that they made it into the last 5, although it's probably fair to say that this will upset the Carrickmore ones who felt they had this accolade in the bag.

Haven't posted on here for a while. (Personal choice). However, in light of the sludden penalty controversy I feel now is the time. Anyone who says it wasn't a pen has obviously a vendetta against carmen. You won't see a more stonewall penalty in Tyrone all year.(degrass hi). Whinging....no. Fact....yes. IMO as the most competitive club championship in ulster there are still at least 6 or 7 clubs entitled to think 'it's our year'. That's what makes it so special. If I had said trillick will be county champions this time last year,I would have been laughed off the board. Just hope we don't see sludden or McConnell for the rest of the year.

Great weekends action ahead. If the rahillys play,they will beat the fianna easy,negativity simply doesn't suit them and I'm sure the management now surely realise this. Errigal killyclogher is a coin toss,Errigal have a good record at carmen but killyclogher are the league champs and that will give them the belief they need to put it up to Errigal. Big oz will not be playing against omagh,that's the only carmen team news that I'll stand over. God I hope we can give omagh a game.   

It looks like Carrickmore have been awarded the win against Killyclogher in the opening league game. I wonder how much the pressure from the Tyrone/Ulster Herald report had to bear on the refs decision to change the scorecard. It seems strange that the particular newspaper allows reporters from their own club produce the match report. Hardly unbiased reporting.

The report(regardless of where the reporter is from)stated the facts. Carmen scored 1-12. Final score 1-11 to 1-11. Such a nonsense of a post.

The fact is the ref told the players that their was 1 point in it. He made a point of making the scoreboard guy change the scoreboard. As a result Killyclogher tried to score a point from a 45, which they duly did. If they thought they were 3 points down they would have dropped the ball in for a goal attempt. Also, they had an opportunity for a point in injury time, which they went for, thinking it would be the winning point. If they had known they were 2 points down, they would have attempted a goal scoring opportunity. The ref stated to both players and officials after the game that it was a draw and he duly recorded this score with the Tyrone website. The pressure afterwards resulted in him changing his report/score. I understand the fact that Carrickmore scored more than Killyclogher. However, the ref had informed everyone of his understanding of the position and as a result, Killyclogher responded by going for an equalising point as opposed to a goal. They also attempted a further point in injury time, thinking it would be the winning point. Again, this was on the basis of the score recorded by the ref. I don't know what the ruling is on this, but it did have a bearing on the way Killyclogher finished the game.

It wasn't a nonsense post. Mind you, I thought Carrickmore didn't care about the league. Seems they do!

i take your points about killyclogher in the the last 10 mins. I agree. Your previous post wasn't about that unfortunately. It was about the report in the ulster herald putting pressure on the referee to change his scorecard. Nonsense. The Tyrone times report was of course not the same,but very similar. Reporter ain't from carrickmore either. We care about every game in carrickmore by the way...

'A missed score disallowed'......please explain....

I was at the carmen game. Approx 10 mins to go a killyclogher official ran into speak to referee. Next thing referee instructs that the scoreboard be changed. And a point is taken off the carmen score. For why I don't know and the killyclogher folk beside me are equally puzzled. Totally ruined the last 10 mins of a good game of football as both sets of supporters are not sure of the correct score. Check the local press(Tyrone times or Monday herald) and count carrickmore scores at the end of the match report. Both add up to 1-12. Final score 1-11 to 1-11. Fking laughable. Jerome.............

In fact....cross never beat carrickmore in ulster club.

In what year did cross beat carrickmore? Never in my recollection. Stand to be corrected.

Off course cookstown will be a force next year,some talented footballers....in intermediate football.
