Embarrassing to see everyone of the Armagh full forward line run the length of the field to get involved in the "brawl" while the Tyrone full back line didn't budge. Cavanagh targeted again by Armagh and was on his own against 3-4 Armagh thugs for 10 seconds. Is it only me or does this Armagh team remind you of a certain town team from Tyrone?

Part of Peter Donnelly's strength and conditioning programme involves taking them till his oul boy's chippy in the Island.

Dire first half,slightly improved after the break.Tyrones full back line was solid,McCarron had a decent game.Kyle and Shay were very poor.Young McShane looks handy enough,would like to see him get more time the next day.
Very impressed with Armagh's no.11.He won every single ball that was played to him.Is this his first year on the panel?

How bloody typical that mc keever got himself sent off.  At the same  auld crap from 05. It's more annoying than anything because he doesn't hurt anybody except his team. No hard man just disrespectful to his superiors. Armagh were quite physical for the my Kenna cup. Good for Tyrone to beat a dirty outfit and probably good for armagh that they can challenge a football team.

QuoteSeans extra bit of timber must be the reason he kept falling over, or sorry some call it diving,  it really is pityful to watch a man of his stature just falling at every opportunity,  and he wasnt on his own! Then again celtic crosses have been won in the past for falling over to get opposition sent off.

Jayzus  it's only January and Orange is whinging about Tyrone's  bucketful of all Ireland medals already!   Time you accepted facts like Enda mcNulty already has - your  best team ever failed on the big stage all by itself - no one else was to blame!!

Sad to see poor Armagh being victimised again, when will the poor dears ever get a break.

When will Cavan ever produce a decent referee. ;)

Was an average performance from tyrone. Thought mcnamee and mccarron did well in full back line. Harte played rightly in second half and cavanagh caused plenty of problems. Mcshane had a good debut coming on. Wasn't impressed with coney mcguigan or e McKenna.

The referee was awful to both teams. Thought tyrone got the worst of it in open play but Armagh got men sent off. He wouldn't let the game flow at all and I hated the way he over used the advantage rule especially when there was hardly a free in the first place. He didn't like any kind of physical contact.

The Armagh fans and players seemed to take the game serious enough despite what was said on here. Will mean nothing later in the year but always nice to win.

Have Armagh ever had a good ref officiate their games, one that let's them beat shite of the opposition without sanction.

Can I quote Redhand Santa, a Tyrone fan: " the referee was awful".

It would be interesting to know would fans rather support a team of nicey nicey footballers who dive and whinge at refs to cheat but at the end of the day wont win anything, OR a team of physical footballers who put their bodies on the line for the cause that also wont win anything???? I know which one id prefer, id rather coach children into tackling etc than lying down when tackled!!

ONeill

Well, Geezer failed in his first game.

He had the side wound up about Cavanagh and it cost them two crucial players.

You cannot wind players like McKeever up before a game. He can't channel it.
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Brawling definitely is good to watch - especially for children.
That was never a square ball!!

yip
happy days are back
the tyronnies now realise last year wasn't a flash in the pan and fear the resurgence of the orchard.
