"A bag of sugar was the difference in weight between Armagh and Tyrone in the 2003 final. (and 3 points). "
Yes O'neill, i remember that stuff in harte's diary that year, he reckons he was reading the pen profiles the day before the final. As i said armagh had a strong spine of strong men. I remember i line joe brolly wrote in 2002 before they won it saying that the armagh team all had the build of a rugby league team, apart from stevie and oisin, who didn't need it.
I realise he was hyping alot as usual, but i always found tyone around 03 like a bunch of annoying wasps, just running around trying to hit hard. Conor Gormley was a tank, the rest nowhere near it. Don't confuse this with a slagging match about armagh-tyrone, i was a big admirer of the tyrone teams from the 05 and 08 finals when they refined their style!
