Do we expect clonoe/coalisland to walk D2 like clonoe did last year?

Based on what I've seen of the Intermediate championship this year then yes. Only issue Coalisland would have is potentially the starred games missing 4 county players but I would be very surprised if it wasn't a walk in the park for either in the league anyway. You never know in championship football as Clonoe found out in 2023.

I was at the England match tonight. They got battered. It could have been 4 or 5 for the Greeks

Lee Carsley will be getting a right good hammering by the press this morning. I had seen bits of it and they were shocking in fairness.

Bandwagon yet?

We're all part of Heimir's army, we're all off to the USA. . .

Fianna have a change of management, some key players out and a few more half fit. Rahillys coming off the back of 3 decent performances in the championship and have the advantage of playing at home.

Fianna by 2 after extra time.

Is Michael McKernan not in a cast? Tiarnan Quinn not out completely with a knee injury? Is Hampsey not awaiting a shoulder operation as soon as the season is finished.
Thats three essential players either missing or not near right. Big swing that towards Clonoe.

Yeah all that true which I touched on. I heard McKernan and Hampsey are both playing though. To be honest I have no idea who will win it. Clonoe just about squeaked over the line a few weeks with no McKernan and Devlin for the Fianna but Quinn being out is a huge blow for the Fianna so you are probably right it is a big swing towards Clonoe.

I can see it going to extra time though. I just can't imagine the Fianna in Division 2 so will give them the nod with no certainty whatsoever. Peter Donnelly being over them will give them a better chance of winning it than their previous management imo.

Anyone hear who the referee is going to be? Heard a rumour it was Martin Conroy but that cant be right with the possibility of the Moy meeting the winner. 

You'd have thought Sean Hurson would be the only man for that gig.

The vanishing foam to mark where the free kick should be taken should be a no brainer to introduce. The yards being stole by free kick takers is getting worse. I am not sure why referees aren't penalising this as it is.

If someone is thinking a tenner is steep, keep your money in your pocket lad, or get a job that can afford you a tenner at the weekends to watch or pay into a game

The Tories would be proud of that line.

Thought the commentary was poor last night to be honest. For such an exciting climax I don't think the commentary matched the conclusion IMO.

The use of Garryowen continues - Even using it when McGirr hit a brilliant point.
Not sure who was on co commentary but they did a decent job of keeping us up to date with who the players where.

Ronan O'Neill was with Paddy last night and I thought he was very good. Diarmuid McNulty is good as well on co-commentary.

In Tyrone it was £12 to stream each of the senior semi finals and £14 to watch the intermediate semis so thats £38 to watch all 4 this weekend.

The 3 finals will probably be around the £15 mark and they are stand alone fixtures.

Niall Kelly lucky to avoid a black for taking Bradley out before the 1st penalty was awarded when Bradley went for a give and go. I'll give the ref the benefit of the doubt for the 2nd penalty as the TV camera showed behind the incident for the shirt pull.

Missed the 1st half. What happened Darragh Canavan? If he's not fit for the final Errigal have little chance imo.

If Trillick play like they did against Ardboe then Errigal still have a chance even without Darragh Canavan. It's hard to know with Trillick brilliant one day and average the next. Historically how many teams have replicated a superb Semi-Final performance in a final? Very few.

True enough but Errigal haven't been setting the world on fire in their 4 games so far either. Trillick were able to snuff out the Canavans easily enough in last years final and if Darragh isn't fully fit then you wouldn't expect Ruairi to be able to make much inroads on his own.

In saying that it will probably suit Errigal when all the chat will be about that Trillick performance on Friday going into the final.

What crossfit gym does oguz go to... must be a better one than mccann runover him like a steam train there.

Don't go down the road of the other 10/15 new posters over the last few weeks.

Morgan and Beggan are better than most of those goalkeepers on that list for a start.
