If Tyrone make it to the Quarter finals, round 6 will not played until 7th July. If they make the Semi Final round 6 wont take place until 21st July. If Tyrone make the All Ireland Final, round 6 doesn't take place until 4th August.

I still think we have the best system. Bit of a disaster if there's a deep AI run, and can leave games going on extremely late in the year, but our leagues are very enjoyable imo. If we reverted to a system where you got relegated through a group stage in the championship it would leave the league largely unwatchable.

Agree completely. Think Tyrone have got it as good as possible in terms of league and championship. Having experience of a couple of other counties systems, I prefer the starred league and knockout championship over anything else I've seen

If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Big win for the Rock tonight, close to 20 points.

Heard nugent broke the ankle last day out and thought Rock where in diffs but maybe that was shite

Don't think it was as serious as that. Think he's still for America.

He's not going to America - these are mere rumours.

Watched it again there, it's almost like a comedy sketch, smacking your man in the gob with the big hand cannon, then telling him he'd have lost his knees if it wasn't for his "mate" in the back all the while turning round and pointing the gun at the "mate".

The "mate" then almost in shock saying he's shaking like a leaf....


Only in Belfast. ;D

Your near neighbours in ards may have something to say abou that ;D

They're still pucking the heads of themselves in Ards, the odd petrol bombing and the likes and it's not making the news the same...

Wonder why???

Why?

I have seen that brought up. I don't see why that matters?

It's completely irrelevant.

Just curious  ;D

Based on what? Beating Antrim, Cavan and Westmeath?

No delusion like Armagh fans delusion.

I'd say its probably more based on the fact that Tyrone have won one championship match in the last 2 seasons against Fermanagh while Armagh are unbeaten in 8 championship games. That said I think it will be very tight and I wouldn't like to call it.

Unbeaten in ZERO games now. Armagh get a small dose of reality. They are not a top team. They are not Div 1. They are not good enough to win an Ulster title never mind an All Ireland. They have a negative boring system that allows them to not get stuffed. If they went 15 v 15 they be on the end of some bad beating. McGenney has perfected the  "lets only lose by a few points" system.
Rian O'Neill for all his talent gets involved in far to much off the ball stuff. His red card had been coming.
Tyrone let Armagh back into it. Again Morgan with more confidence than ability almost gifted them the game. But it's a win. Onwards.

Armagh back in there f**king box for another while, until they beat the next Division 3 team and the county loses the run of itself again lol!!

We were penalty kicks away from winning an Ulster title and I think we were good enough to have won one. But the reality is that we didn't and it was an opportunity lost and I fear our chance may now have passed. We were never good enough to win an AI title and I never heard too many Armagh fans claim otherwise.

However if Armagh are as bad as you think then I'd be more worried how Tyrone limped over the line at home against a second rate team playing with 14 men. And if Armagh had been more efficient up front we would have won the match too. Tyrone have done nothing since 2021 to suggest they are among the poorest AI champions in recent times.

Hmm let me think... highlights since 2021...

Relegating Armagh in March would be one  ;) ;D

In the name of fook. Wee scumbags and there have been three, yes just three cautioned.

The good weather brings out all the wallopers. They battered some fella and then battered an adult that tried to intervene. PSNI gives out a couple of cautions, unbelievable.

I wonder what side of the fence they were... ???

If they got into the english leagues then I think over time they might be close to winning the premier league given a wee bit of time. The problem is now they can't compete financially due to the TV money. The european money helps massively but is not always guaranteed.

Not a chance unless it was Arab money they were getting.

What has other teams in the premier league have over Celtic? (obviously excluding the monetary advantage)

Celtic are as big as any of them. But look at the likes of Man City! Pure shite and then the Arab money has turned them into a machine.

Completely agree... same as Newcastle.

I'm saying if Celtic were put on the same level playing field financially as the rest of the Premier League, they would avoid relegation with ease.

I think they would avoid relegation with the team they have now. But would need 100s of millions to get anywhere near Europe nevermind win something!

I think they would get relegated with their current squad however to be honest.

Once the money starts rolling in though they would be pushing for top 6.

Without reading all the comments since the game, tyrone were the better side, but just can't seem to pull away.
I just don't see where the hype about this Armagh side comes from.
Rian O'Neill was a definate red in my book. He could/should have been off in the Ulster final if he'd got a yellow every time he deserved one. He seems to concentrate on being a hard man rather than football and for all the spectacular scores/frees he grabs, he concedes so many frees it could mostly cancel out any positives. He's a liability at the minute that could do with a few games on the bench to put manners on.
For me, Grugan and Murnin are more reliable and better all round than RON.
Starting Campbell didnt have the same impact as he has had coming off the bench.
McGeeney saying execution is the issue, that's another way of saying the players are not good enough at finishing.

As for Tyrone, glimpses of what they were but not necessarily of where they are going.
They are still relying on the older players to pull them out and I'm not sure the new(er) personnel are of the same quality. Lots of mistakes.
Could have had a black in the lead up to the RON red.
Morgan can be brilliant or awful.
I feel if McCurry is kept out of a game and to a lesser extent Canavan, Tyrone won't get scores to trouble any of the main contenders.
But....they still play with the confidence of a top side which is why I think it can click some days against anyone. So it wouldn't surprise me too much if they knocked out some of the big hitters in the championship, but I don't think they have enough for an AI or indeed to be classed as in the top 5.

For me, top 5 still are Galway, Mayo, Kerry, Dublin, Derry....in that order. However, no one time is miles ahead at the minute, but I just have that feeling that Galway are better than last year and so far Kerry/Dublin seem to have slipped back a little bit.

That top 5 is just silly. How can you justify putting Galway and Mayo above Kerry?

Nobody is talking about Darren McCurry... he kicked some outrageously good scores on Saturday.
