Quote from: twohands!!! on April 01, 2025, 12:31:12 PMDumb move by McStay in terms of picking his battles - coming out with the stuff about Clifford in a game where he was subject to a fair few absolutely blatant clearcut fouls isn't going to do anything to help his case as regards getting a soft decision or two. If he was looking to piss off Coldrick he probably couldn't have done more. Also I really doubt it's going to affect how Aido or any of the other Mayo forwards is reffed and it's definitely not going to affect how Aido was treated in past games in terms of getting frees. With his history in the media, he really should have known better (i.e that any comments on Clifford were likely to be the story) and used his time with the media after the final more wisely.

McStay having worked in the media has used his time to play them here with pure deflection remarks. Since that match has finished most of the talk is about Clifford than his own team only scoring 12 times in these new rules on perfect day for football in Croke Park.

Quote from: Truthsayer on April 01, 2025, 03:55:50 PMDoes seem more than coincidence that Tyrone's 4 All Ireland wins were diminished by commentators... '03 puke football... '05 won't win an All Ireland without Canavan... '08 to decide 'team of the decade' afterwards no word of 'team of the decade'.. '21 Covid All Ireland despite '20 final in an empty stadium in December!
Tyrone weren't far away by '21.. in final in '18 and in a few semi-finals.. new management let them off the lease long kickout for goal, long high ball in for goal.. McKenna also a huge factor. Well merited again  :D

Tyrone would be stuck on zero Senior All Ireland titles but for the great and ground work of Saint Mickey Harte. A bronze or marble sculpture of him outside the Garvaghey Centre is well merited at this stage.

Quote from: Wildweasel74 on March 31, 2025, 08:59:19 PMDublin hadn't been round, that Mayo team would won a few All-Irelands, what other team was gonna cone out of the woodwork that Dublin didn't already trounce.

Dublin weren't around in 2012 2014 and 2021 and what happened?

Tyrone came out of the woodwork; Kerry came out of the woodwork.

Donegal the only team out of those 3 years that were on a journey towards an All Ireland.

Dublin werent around in 2012 cause we beat them in semi final , Kerry won in 2014 cause Cormac Reilly cheated , 2021 I still can't explain it .

Can you explain why you were so cocky before the 2021 All Ireland final?

QuoteWhat would you like me to tell ya that mcshane off the bench is going to make the difference , that mattie Donnelly is unremarkable, that its too close to call,its 50/50. I dont believe any of the narrative spun about this been close , we are a far better outfit than Tyrone,  a possible hb line of oisin , paddy and eoghan if fit with Leroy pushing up from the last line as we get a foothold is unstoppable , nothing and I mean nothing is going to stop Mayo winning the all Ireland.  Who the fook are Tyrone anyway ,last time I seen them in a final they were attroslcious . Nobody mentioned Tyrone all year, now all of a sudden cause they got a sloppy victory over a disorganised disjointed poorly set up kerry they are world beaters . Mayo by 7-9 points easy

From 2015 to 2019 both Mayo and Kerry got Dublin on days they were beatable however didn't seal the deal as they found ways to lose instead.

Quote from: rodney trotter on March 25, 2025, 08:16:41 AMI know he has been. Don't be so touchy. After round 5 of the league the rules were tweaked so keepers won't have as much freedom . Monaghan had most of the work done by that stagem
Most of the work was done in round 6 v Meath.

As was evident on the tv coverage and the IT
"There was also a continuing contribution from goalkeeper Rory Beggan, assisted by his team's very disciplined observance of the 4 v 3 rule, who was undaunted by the amended rules which restrict the goalkeeper's role a little. Beggan got forward on plenty of occasions to distract the defence"

Beggan your top scorer in this league campaign I see. Seen a clip yesterday of that dramatic Div 2 final win against Meath 20 years ago when was the last time Monaghan didn't win a league final?  won more recently against Donegal 2014 and 2013 against Meath again.

Quote from: weareros on March 25, 2025, 05:00:53 PMIt's a bit like the early days of internet (usenet, chatrooms, early forums). There was always the lad who was a regular poster, then would dramatically announce they were leaving for good after some big argument got out of hand, a few other posters would lament his leaving, and then sure they'd be back again posting a week later as if nothing had happened.
MSN Messenger chat rooms were the pinnacle of the Internet age.

And Yahoo pool hall, both places was filled of filipino women looking for a husband.

Two birds with one stone for Armagh in this league campaign, objective of staying up achieved and played part in relegating Tyrone to Division 2.

Quote from: SouthOfThe Bann on March 22, 2025, 08:13:45 PMIs it worth putting money on Donegal at 3/1.

Not the worst lineup they have out.

Keep money in pocket or use it on another match. Mogan Murphy McGee McBrearty  Gallen, Brennan and Eoin McHugh all missing for Donegal probably a few more by throw in

Quote from: snoopdog on March 17, 2025, 09:33:54 AMThe 2 pointer equaliser Havern scored at the death in Breffni that wasn't awarded could see Cavan promoted and Down relegated.
Yes as fine of margins as you can get.
