That was a tough one last night. Admire how Porto played and how the ref did. Made for an old fashioned game.

On another note, been dead lucky with the ballots. Have entered 5 times and won 3. This time, managed to win 2 tickets together. Heading to Luton game.

Different sort of win today but one that will stand to them. Brentford did what they needed to do and Porto will too.

That's an alarming scoreline, on top of the minors recently.

Can anyone succinctly describe why this is happening, evening allowing the use of sweeping statements?

Amazing how the Brits think this was impressive by AJ. Never fail to amaze me.

The thing about that is that they are all wrong if you look at the Mayo game.

First of all, he isn't our best midfielder and attacking runner.
Secondly, they did kick the ball into him and had success.
Thirdly, the attacks weren't ponderous.
Lastly, they didn't clog up the D.

They have been Scotland's pride in Europe for a decade now.

Hard to know where we are at after that game today. I'm optimistic and like bits and pieces of what we are seeing. You'd want to know 12/13 starters for the SFC after the league. Not sure if we're there yet. Oguz put his hand up today.

Quote from: southtyronegael on February 27, 2024, 11:33:52 AMWould  love to see a bigger unit in the full forward line to compliment mc curry/canavan. Either of mc Shane, mattie donnelly or mc gleenan would  be worth a go when available.

To be fair, Kilpatrick was there a lot of the time. I moved behind the goals Tyrone were playing into in the second half and you could hear Conn shouting to knock it in to him. And I think the first 2 balls he won and possibly won a free kick for a trip on him. Not sure if he's a permanent option there but it was working second half.

About time the government paid these teachers more so that industrial action stops and inspectors can come in and wipe them out.

Be honest, have you ever met a teacher who wasn't a total w**ker? Even Mrs Milltown seems a right piece of work.

Quote from: Manning18 on February 25, 2024, 12:21:02 AMDon't like complaining about refs and a neutral in this one but how does Brendan Cawley keep getting games? Every time I watch him ref a game it's farcical and tonight was no different. Is there no judging panel?

Some absolutely bizarre decisions throughout, for both sides although Tyrone got the worst of it

You didn't know where he stood on tackling. Early on he blew for any contact at all, and Tyrone suffered. Second half, he gave Tyrone a few handy ones close to goal and allowed Tyrone's defence to get up close and personal. First half he didn't.

I don't think there's any special side you'd fear in the CL. Bar City.

Keeping 1/2 players up front really worked wonders in the second half.

Conn won a couple of frees from long balls in. Darragh was on fire today, won nearly every ball in, and sometimes one-handed. With another ref, the opposition would have built up a rack of yellows or worse on Darragh.

The defence though really stepped up in the second half and were far less passive. Harrassed Mayo and turned the ball over repeatedly which sucked the life out of Mayo. Big Kennedy was prominent second half and dominated the middle third.
