3 of those Fintona players stood out today. Along with the U20 lad Donnelly they might make a stab at Intermediate in a couple of years time.

Well seen. Fintona with good numbers on Omagh CBS teams the last 2-3 years, definitely a coming team, deserve all they get for a big investment in youth

Interesting to see if Donnelly can punch into Tyrone seniors the next few years, all 3 half backs got on U20 team of the year, also the last 3 U20 poty been Tyrone

The transition to senior is a big jump, how's Potter from Killyclogher going at the minute, looked like a prospect to me, and Owens from Beragh has a bit about him

True, a surprise tactical move can often pay dividends, I feel with Tyrone lack of depth and a number of potential limitations that big Kennedy should be let play his specialist position without roving to an ad hoc FF role that will render him out of the game when they inevitably don't kick to him

While Spurs play along with the Yiddish trope Arsenal were always the more Jewish of the 2 clubs at board level

Are you implying that would that make Arsenal more forgiving of such behaviour
Is there a common link between Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, Woody Allen, Roman Polanski, Alan Dershowitz, Al Franken, Brett Ratner by the way?

Nothing implied
And f**k knows

Thoughts on moving mattie closer to goal and starting sparky. Mattie has the physical presence missing in forward line and sparky has the speed and movement.

Would allow us to end with our strongest team on the pitch.

Also option of rotating kennedy or conn into forwards for a few long balls throughout the match.

Can't see it, Matty at 11 seems the order of the day with Dazzler and Darragh inside, they definitely start with that

Interesting one for me is whether Petey Harte starts or held in reserve, I'd be inclined to start him

Was well known, there has been ample opportunity to do the right thing, for some reason charge has been delayed, Arsenal and other relevant authorities should expect a huge backlash on this one

If he was available for the first leg against PSG Arsenal would have won the CL, that and the league was prioritised the last couple of years, disgraceful really

That despite training him well they're sorry he got caught else he'd been part of the golden moments promo

According to the research, pride in the county jersey remains a powerful force.

The act of putting on county colours on match day ranked highly, with over 3 in 10 (32%) citing it as a key ritual.

Drawing down false expenses has surely been surveyed among members at this point - 100% satisfaction 2b sure 2b sure

It's hard to make the change from elite county player to real life. Carey is an extreme example but there are plenty of gambling addicts, drug addicts and alcoholic.

The GPA couldn't have said it better themselves, a wonder they're so quiet on it, him being one of their own and all that

Was quite surprising to see Michael Oneill coming in on Saturday as he hasn't seen much game time. Was he injured? did see he was released to club for a few games.
What's the thoughts on Seanie O'Donnell? Looks a bit small at times but does pick up loose ball and carries at pace

Seanie O'Donnell is the closest thing we have to Ryan McHugh, i'm saying that as a huge compliment, really glad he's back starting again

Meyler has a long road ahead to get the sharpness of 2021/22 back, it might not even happen but kudos to him for making it this far

Would like to see Clarke start the next day, think he's the pick of the 3 corner back options

If McKernan is back and 100% I feel it's there for the taking, it'll be much more difficult without him

Big Finbar had it right the whole time with the rugby boots and a toe-hoke as high and far as humanly possible

Casement Park 1999 stands out for me - Mickey McVeigh and Finbar tried the whole game to hit each other with a kick out - absolute boomers straight down the middle for the whole game.

    the height Finbar kickouts came in at weren't doing anyone any favours, nearly came down vertically, at club level no-one was catching them

With Mickey they were long range missiles. He landed one in the D that day from the 20m line. No hips left on him now. Those guys absolutely smashed the ball compared to the likes of Beggan and Patton today.

The game is actually on you tube, watched a bit of it earlier, interesting line up

[Those couple of balls going over the sideline gave Kerry huge energy]

Thinking back now , I don't know why Rafferty didn't drive it as far as he could down the  field. He's easily capable  of hitting beyond midfield. Spread the game ,  push Kerry back. Get them away from the Armagh goal/arc

Yes, Kerry might still have won  the same amount of ball as they did , but they woukd have been further  away from  goals to do damage.  And as someone said , a  breaking ball  falling luckily could mean Conaty/McMullan etc  on his way towards the Kerry goal

Those couple of balls  going over the sideline gave Kerry  huge energy

Aiming for a target within a few yards of the sideline is beyond me too, once in a while maybe yes if someone is in space or on the run where you kick it into their path, but static targets with practically zero margin for error just seems silly, there was plenty of it over the weekend from a few teams, trying to create these sexy precision set piece plays at times when its not needed

The idea is that if the kickout misses its target the ball is more than likely going to go dead; a safer alternative to losing the kickout directly to the opposition with the ball in play.

I understand theres coaching logic behind that but its glass half empty, GAA teams are better suited to a seize the day mentality than risk containment, eventually it precipitates to overthinking fear and doubt
