also Samuel becketts in lapad, owned by a couple from Dublin real good craic! Had a number of rips there in summer 06! Recommend the pints of Ojusco, beautiful!

I think Armagh had some sort of training logbook going on but none of this wishy washy stirring the soul nonsense! I wonder wat the dub players made of the whole thing?  

do any omagh posters remember the "Gooch Busters" banner outside Sally's in 05? Well just heard from my source (my brother who works there) that this years theme is the "Super Dooher's!" you heard it here 1st, surely this puts ziggy in 2nd place for scoop of the year? Ha ha 

Brolly is from another planet!! He's biased anyway as he's a Derry man so wouldn't be to praiseful of Tyrone ! I think people's opinions are changing of Tyrone now though and they are actually realising that hey we really do have a good team here.  In all previous matches, and previous years, I think Tyrone always come out as the underdogs...

Sure brolly has been one of  our most ardent supporters and has lavished praise on tyrone's play since Dublin game! As well, I feel we have been getting more than enough praise over the last month an quite rightly so but in all honesty we haven't done much in the previous 2 years to warrant any praise but here's hopin brolly's dishin it out on Tyrone's behalf at 5.30 on the 21st!!!!

stars dad has a huge Kerry flag outside his house behind my grandads house! You would see the odd man cheering on Kerry as well, the Man Utd of the Gaelic world  

awh ziggy u must be pullin my leg, that was awful!! Hard to beat the boogie men for an AI warm up tune, sally's wouldn't be the same without it lol so do we think 4, 9 an 11 will change from last Sunday? I'm just glad I don't have to pick the team! If I was MH I'd be puttin out the same 15, we got the back up on the bench to come in to help out, still feel stevie will play a bit part on 21st but wat excites me the most is that he's back for the foreseeable future, can only be good for Tyrone football! Well anyway I'm saying a prayer that a ticket lands in my lap like 05 but I hope it's another classic an the craic's mighty in the next 15 days, good luck to Kerry an tyrone! Tir Eoghain Abu!  

Mickey might well be gone after this year's AI Final, as Tyrone supporters moght consider him a liability if they lose...just as they thought him a liability after the Down defeat.

Also if the Tyrone Board decide to award only their supporters who attended the Dublin game AI Final tickets, and not those who had lost faith, then they'll be rteurning about 10,000 Tickets to Croke Park

It matters not when Armagh next win the AI. The fact is that they captured Sam before Tyrone ever did, contested their first ever final 33 years before Tyrone, and had contested two finals before Tyrone had even contested one.

Remember also Tyrone have one All Ireland more than Armagh due to a lucky block and an easy free awarded in injury time in 2005

Two points here:

1) how you see conor gormleys block in 2003 as lucky is beyond me, a block of that quality requires just as much skill as any goal ever scored!

2) Re. free in 2005, I think you'll find a shirt pull is a clear foul in Gaelic football!

Luck is getting the player of the year (Stephen o neill) sent off for an imaginary second yellow in ulster final replay! Will those orange tinted glasses ever come off mr fearon? I'm not so sure

he game is being televised, coverage starts at 12 on RTE 2

That was an awful joke by yer man keane!

So team being named tonight, anyone think there will be any changes? I would hardly think so unless there's some last minute tinkering at five to four on Sunday!!

a few points from the game:

1) as mentioned already aidan o mahony's behaviour all through that game was disgraceful from incident in 1st half with the throwing of elbows and footballs when he is blown up. His Rivaldo esqe dive wen touched on the cheek was  highly embarrassing and tremendously unsportmans like! Poor form comparing it with dooher who was clearly punched in the stomach on the sly! I know Tyrone men do go down too easily but I feel we are always getting it shoved down our throats about the games manship of the kingdom yadda yadda!

2) darragh o se's sending off, Colm o rourke mentioned he' l be happy with the draw as it'l use up his one match ban but surely the GAA ban for striking is a 4 week ban, never a suspension for a set number of games!!  

Yeah everyone will be picking St Galls, Cross, Mayobridge etc etc

Will take someone to buck the trend or pick the difficult counties, tyrone, maybe even derry?

Dromore or Carrickmore for Tyrone. If you pick anyone else and win ye deserve to win the thing outright. Siince Dromore and Carrickmore will be picked by most it might be wise to pick Omagh on the off chance and if they come up trumphs you will have that advantage. 

Are Omagh not out already?

Omagh still in championship, they drew with dromore in 1st round, replay will take place after tyrones involvement ends in AI

I think the st pats dungannon lads were all unavailable, should be a good game, be great seeing minors an seniors on the same day in croker! It's a pity Tyrone will be losing coney this year, looked like he had a bright future!!

Wonder what Micky s belief in Mugsy is at the moment. Only gave him 2 minutes on Saturday. I feel that if he is looking to him for the next match ( or 2) he would have taken the opportunty to give him more playing time!!!

I'd definitely start Mulligan against Wexford. He is like a caged animal at the moment.

Yeah I'd like to see him get a full game but there is no way MH could possibly drop any of the front 6, but how lucky are we to have the players of caliber like mugsy, penrose and mulgrew chomping at the bit to get into the action!! Training must be ferocious!

congratuiations to all involved in the Tyrone set up, another great day for us Tyrone Gaels! A performance straight out of the 03 05 vintage, there was so much passion, skill and hair!!!!! Have to say that I predicted a Tyrone win but only by a point never imagined us completly blowin Dublin out of the water! Micky Harte take a bow and I could name 15 man of the matches but that man dooher did it again, on a side note congrats to davey, he's had his detracters all year (including myself) an produced an excellent 70 mins an what a goal! In my opinion two players have made an immeasurable contribution to this years challenge:

1- Enda - his superb performances all year (along with his midfield deputies) have allowed big sean to cause havoc up front and provide a platform for the rest of the forwards to flourish!
2- justy - his settling in at full back has allowed block to do what he does best and man the 40, he has at times this championship had to put out some fires but that just highlights his quality and versatility!

I realise wexford will be a much bigger challenge for this Tyrone team but I'm just thankful that their performance against Armagh showed their  quality and will hopefully eradicate any complacency in our camp!

Just after watching the sunday and was rather surprised to hear no mention of either seans shoulder or wealans punch, must havebeen a directive to focus on the football an leave the handbags to the various other bodies!

On a side note I see o neill is due a bit of shoe lickin,I think it sholfld be posted on YouTube! See Derry v Tyrone thread from earlier in the year!!!!
