Grimley was and is a tough man and when he puts the time and effort into a team, I feel he is entitled to an opinion - if people criticise his team, then he is entitled to be critical back - I do like Brolly - I think he reads the game well and is very knowledgeble - However I do take issue when individual players are singled out- remember Brian Dooher - 2003 - Francie Bellew and the Armagh full back line The Sunday game is an entertainment show - the entertainment is not confined to the football / hurling -the analysts are also very entertaining - so that's TV - We'll have to get used to it.

Sad news alright - I saw the programme on rte with him in usa- it was nice to see and to have him remembered when he was still alive - Go ndeana Dia trocaire ar a anam.

I didn't say it was Harkin that implied Ardboe was the source of the leak - but the facts are that he spoke to Mooney on the Sunday night and gave his version of events - who do you think it was then that accused Ardboe of talking to Mooney ?

I do agree with you that Mooney is well behind on quality reporting - but the pen is always mightier than the sword and facts are that Mooney has the contracts with all the national papers and they seem to get the headlines -

The story about the so called riot isn't important - but there is a principle involved - the story about Brian making the Ulster Final is again without foundation and isn't worth repeating - Brian can't see at the minute and how would he play football in a few weeks time ?

Sure we'll see what happens and as they say, it will all come out in the wash.
But you're right about the reckless reporting - what planet is this man on ? Making inaccurate and sensational headlines might sell newspapers but the public should be aware when speaking to Mooney, that they will be misquoted, so the best thing is to say nothing - that way people won't have to send apologies and accusations can't be levelled. I feel sorry for Aodhan Harkin if Mooney invented the headlines but to accuse the Ardboe club of telling Francie Mooney that there was a free for all etc etc is just typical of a county board who never had any love for Ardboe and who shafted them every chance they got -

Why send an apology to all the clubs then ? Sounds like he made the incorrect statements, woke up the next morning and said "jesus, did I say all that ? " - I'd better sort this out, send a letter saying he had been "misquoted" and hope it will go away - but when the Ardboe club have been  perversely accused of being the source of the leak, I'd say there will be more about it - apparently there's going to be an investigation so we'll see what comes out of it - The facts are that Aodhan DID speak to Francie Mooney and other sources and merely repeated the allegations that swept round the county -

But this story about Aodhan Harkin is a sideshow and not really important - the important thing is that Francie Mooney is making wild claims ( in this case about Brian Mc Guigan making the Ulster Final ) - he should stop it and only report facts that he is sure about ( and come to think of it, so should Aodhan Harkin !!! ) Brian's hopes are being raised without any foundation and this is unfair ti him - he has been through enough - sure he can't even see out of his - everything is just a blur !

Senastional or what ? Arsehole or what ? Francie Mooney just seems to be losing the run of himself by making wild claims about Brian Mc Guigan being fit for the Ulster final ! This is gutter press - Brian can't even see out of his eye at the minute - everything is just a blur and how anybody would make this wild claim is just ridiculous - I know newspapers need headlines, but Francie Mooney should do us all a favour and stop writing this shite - its unfair to Brian first and foremost cos Brian knows what level of vision he has. He also fed the press about a riot between ourselves and Dromore a few weeks ago - this man obviously has a grudge so he should wise up and start reporting on Edendork a bit more and how Liam Nelis can get them off each time the referee abandons the match - remember Moy v Edendork - Eglish v Edendork ?

Francis Mooney earns a living from writing this shite and being sensational - he and the secretary of Tyrone Competitions Control Committee fed the press a pile of shite about a riot involving ourselves and Dromore 5/6 weeks ago. He circulated the story around every paper and internet site - I know the club are going to take issue about this whole episode and I'd say that heads might need to roll, either Mooneys or Harkins or both -Harkin did send an apology to all the clubs apologising to Ardboe and Dromore saying that he had been misquoted by Francis Mooney - who do you think you're kidding Aodhan ( cos you said the very same things and more to the Ulster Herald ) - So be pepared ! Mooney should be boycotted and I do believe it's him that is writing all this dung and getting paid for it - and did you ever see him ? He can't look at you - typical  -
So Brian isn't going to be ready anytime soon, so wise up and stop talking and repeating this rubbish. It's also unfair to Brian in raising his hopes. Surely Brian should be given the advice and direction of the surgeon who performed the operation and not the rubbish written by a local gutter journalist.

The BBC website talks some rubbish - Brian needs to get his vision back - so far everything is still a blur - some people talk some shite !

not worthy of comment !!!!!!!! Forget it -

The minors were very good yesterday - it looks like the Tyrone minors could go places this year - Kyle Coney was excellent and is very talented and it will be nice to see him doing it for the club in the next few weeks, months and years to come. I was very impressed with young Mc Kenna from Pomeroy - also Paul Martin Fintona had an excellent game - we have all these lads to look forward to.

I don't know where this story came from - Brian's vision is still a blur - I hope that the story turns out to be true but I think it is nothing but mere speculation at the moment  - The BBC website runs funny stories - it ran a story about a riot involving spectators, players and officials a few weeks ago which was completely wild and without foundation. This sounds like another one.

I agree with you - Ardboe do lack scoring forwards - a lot like to come out and play around the middle - any ideas on the best inside forward line ? Who would you play middle ?

Again, I would be very sceptical about this story regarding Brian - at this point in time, Brian has not regained his vision and everything is still a blur - so this story is wide off the mark - I hope I'm wrong !!!

I agree - imagine trying to pick a team from Ardboe, Moortown, Brocagh, Derrytresk,Derrylaughan, Clonoe, Coalisland, Stewartstown ??

Imagine even trying to pick a team from Moortown and Ardboe ?? It wouldn't be easy and there be manys a row !!!!!!!!!!!!

A WIN IS A WIN IS A WIN ! Tyrone can't get any worse than yesterday - Tyrone won with about 4 people playing well - so if they can get their act together and play forwards who are forwards ( seems silly but true ) then they could still be a force to be reckoned with - All Ireland final ? NO CHANCE !!! They'll do well to make quarter finals - my opinion - the loss of O'Neill and Mc Guigan is too great and Mc Guigan in particular CAN'T BE REPLACED -
