Rossies v Tyrone Hyde Park 13th July 5pm.

[weareros]

I wonder how Mickey Harte feels after getting publicly bitch slapped by Arlene Foster.

Has Arlene apologised for her councillors grinning in front of burning Irish flags? Mickey had nothing to apologise for but at least took the high moral ground - and DUP and Orange Order as usual will be the only ones coming out of this looking like the true bigots they are. Anyway, hope we can focus on football now.

Surely a Monaghan fan knows what a bitch slapping feels like. Tyrone have been doing it to them consistently in the latter stages of the championship in recent years.

Been going on a long time now right enough.

To be fair I think Tyrone have been lucky in drawing Monaghan time and time again in the QFs and last year's SF. I don't think they would have progressed any further had they played Dublin, Mayo, Kerry, or Galway in any of those games.

Would the Mayo or Kerry of last year have gone and won a knockout game in Ballybofey to qualify for the semi finals?

Also Tyrone beat Monaghan who played Kerry of the park for long spells.

Arlene sure knows how to put the offensive tyronies into their rightfull place and to extract fulsome Uncle Tom apologies for aberrant behaviour.

Maybe the Tyrone huers aren't as bad as I thought.

What exactly is the problem here?

They got caught

[Rossfan]

Not the Tyrone squad's (some of them anyway) finest hour.
Micky Harte has put the publicity if it to bed fairly quickly.
Certainly not helping the Ulster Council in reaching out etc.

Now maybe Arlene can concentrate on things like her party members supporting burning their neighbours' National flag and people being forced out of their homes by illegal organisations building illegal bonfires beside their houses, intimidation etc etc

Problem there is you are positing the GAA as the opposite of loyalist kulture. Which means when something like this happens you leave the GAA open to that sort of whataboutery.

Silly boys, rat in tbe dressing room, cop on lads. End of

It's a mountain out of a molehill, fairly harmless and a few lads in their 20s on a bus having a laugh, the fact that this generation of youngsters feel the need to let the world know what they eat for breakfast is the reason it has come to light.

It's the spin it allows the unionists play really that is the issue.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

If they were singing 'up to our necks in Orange blood', à la those bands marching by, then there might be an issue; they weren't, and there's not.

[Armagh18]

Sing it loud and sing it proud.

[Rossfan]

Amazing how yer man who says he's not Paul Kimmage only appears when there's a negative GAA story about.

[giveballaghback]

Between Hartes cards and marching bands there is a lot of external noise in that Tyrone camp this week. Focus might not be the best.
Not a sound from the Rossie camp and thats the way to have it.

You clearly know nothing about Hartes ability to foster a seige mentality.

[giveballaghback]

Like the one against Donegal
