The CIA was behind the curve on this one. Even the Brits aren't claiming they know of the rebel offensive. 

 Like Libya break-up 15 yrs ago, the straight lines drawn by the British Foreign Office 100 years ago are not long-standing.

All of those civil servants had of course King and Country at heart. But the clans etc remain.

Sad news on Jody.

Barry Dillon certainly top notch.

It's such a strong appointment for Ardboe. 

Matheus Cunha was fantastic for Wolves today. Looks a great player.

Tough night indeed in Scotstoun. 

Off to bed now. Hope not to be flooded out of it in the morning. Who decided to name it storm Bert?

That was them Brits again.

Conall and Darragh will be the next two named.

Reminder there that Dungannon / Carrickmore sill await the finish of the Div 1 League.

And it looks like they will have a very long wait with Errigal motoring so well.

Never fear. Fulham v Brentford will save the day tomorrow. 

The full time score was Dublin 1-10 Tyrone 0-12.

It took 8 more years for Tyrone to regroup to win their first All Ireland.

Would they have the hunger to win the 3 AI's in the 2000's if they already had won their first in 1995?

Roy Keane the fan's choice. 

A solid show tonight and in a pretty good place in the CL table.

Focus now on Motherwell Sunday and Dundee next Wednesday. Aberdeen look to be the SPL danger this season.

It's probably too many rule changes in one go but they will keep some of them.

Good to see Jim Gavin doing his bit, he could have easily retired to a big house in Howth.

Those big wins for Glen & Kilcoo over the weekend will have put a dent in Errigal's Ulster Club ambitions.

Hopefully training is re-adjusted this week to concentrate only on the Tyrone final. The other priorities can wait.

Why is it all coming out now?

It just feels like the biggest match in the county for a long time. It's the hot topic.
