I didn't know Liam had 3 sons playing either.

Maybe Patsy should take a paternity test?

Yeah what way did the mark work out?? I'm hoping to get to see it in action but in theory I think it's a great idea and would definitely suit us with boys like Doherty and Patsy Bradley around!

can only judge by the tyrone game, there werent too many marks to be honest.might have been 20mins in before anyone claimed one.
dont like this new hand pass rulle, ref blew boys up 3/4 times for the eact same type of hand pass as he let go half a dozen other times. IMO will just lead to more confusion and referee errors.ter was nothing wrong with the handpass as it stood

Exactly the same in the Armagh match, only two or three marks so no huge effect but the handpass rule is going to be trouble. Very frustrating for spectators to watch your team moving the ball towards goal and getting blown up for this silly change. When things get competitive in the league there'll be war!!! As long as there is a clear striking action let the thing go!!

Don't think the new rules had any bearing on the game in Enniskillen.
The referee didn't blow for any hand pass fouls that I can recall but he did allow Mattie Keenan to rehit a 21 yard free (which he hit wide) towards the end after a Monaghan player clapped as he ran up to hit it. Is that even a rule? Don't think I ever seen that before.
In true Fermanagh style he then hit the rehit wide, with about 1,00 people in the stand then also jeering and cackling as he ran up to hit it.

Since the university teams came in, are there any other counties other than Tyrone who still haven't been beaten by one of them?

[stronghold]

Sorry Aaron Jordanstown beat Tyrone by 3 points in Omagh  Jan 2008
