[john murtagh]

john murtagh not be given a chance.


Is that the same Johnny Murtagh who scored 1-10 for Tyrone v Kerry on Sunday in Gaelic Park,  NYC?

Agreed Ziggy. 

[Ulster Final 05?]

What about the games in 02 with Armagh or Ulster Final 05?

TYP the Ulster Final '05 was like a First Communion party compared to the AISF of the same year. The intensity of that match was
unbelievable. It could have swung either way & but for a strange decision or two from the Armagh management towards the end,
Armagh could well have had their 2nd holy grail.

The matches or the punters?

[I suppose ye deserve one]

As strong as we can be at this time of the year I suppose given the injuries and the lads who have still not returned to training yet but good to get another look at Bohane, not much experience on the bench though which gives lots of panel members a chance for some game time and T. Kennelly was on the Late Late and will be a few weeks before we see any type of appearance from him but he is back and training and that can only be a good thing for us long term.

Would have liked to see Ger Reidy get another shot between the sticks did well against Donegal and I have felt Murphy seems to have gone backwards last year a bit. Our full back line will have their hands full against that trio, but thats what they need and good for them if we are to be around come Sept , hope O'Neill plays he was on fire against the dubs and is exactly the kind of in form player you would want to play against to push yourself on. Aidan O'Mahony on Sean will be a great battle but I feel Big Sean will have the upper hand here, and Marc O'Se on McCullagh in the centre should be a good clash too.  Young Jacko will see a big step up in class and it will be a great test of him.

David Moran did very well against Donegal, but was impressed with Cassidy against the jackeens and McGinley is always a threat when he goes forward. Seamus Scanlon needs to up his workrate from the first game.

Our half forward line looks exciting and hopefully they will see plenty of actions, all 3 can score but the Tyrone half backs as ever is one of their strongest lines, some good match ups here. And the new rules will make for hopefully some interesting refereeing...

Our full forward line too has good attacking potential if given the right ball with a bit of speed and flair too, and though the corner backs for tyrone may not be first choices they have been around the Tyrone panels for years and will know the drill well from Harte.

Dont be getting carried away with revenge and such things, its a league game in February and both teams will be pushing for the 2 points, and recent league games have been close.

As for the guard of honour I suppose ye deserve one but dont be keeping us too long waiting in the cold....

Ciarrai abu...

Good balanced post as usual KM. We'll take a guard of honour from the Kingdom any day (begrudging or not)
May the best team won & safe journey to all from Ciarrai.

Don't think so TYP. I'll check when I meet up with puc me on Sunday
