Ah Niblock is OK imo there's worse out there than him on the podcast scene. He has his wee annoying quirks in commentary but commentary is a tough gig and he's better than Canning or Morrissey on RTE.

Just as someone mentioned Sidebottom where has he gone to? I haven't seen him at all on the BBC this year.

Just thought you all need to know that I heard a rumour from the Tyrone panel. I'm not naming any names but I think what's important here is that you all know that I heard it and you didn't.

And then when I do hear the rumour tell you that I heard that one months ago. Its the way the GAA rumour mill works.

30 slams incoming

You would imagine so. He's still so much better than any of the next generation coming through.

Judging by his post fight comments he must have been advised to take it on the chin and be a bit more humble than after the Catterall fight.

Battle of the dickheads won by Lopez last night. Didn't see it but from reports seems like it was more comfortable than the scorecards. Taylor another former Shane Mcguigan fighter that has got worse since leaving his gym.

BT Sport was poor tonight.  Tried too hard with Balotelli and the likes.  He'd nothing to say. Really shut coverage. How do I unblock my RTE 2 signal so I can cancel my BT subscription?  Tonight was the final straw. Waste of money.

The worst bit was trying to build Joleon Lescott into being this lifelong City fan and club legend. The fella barely played 100 games for them and grew up in Birrmingham ffs. Commentary was painful throughout. At least that's Jake Humphrey away anyway. Maybe he can take Rio with him. Cesc and Balotelli have a better grasp of the English language than him. BT/TNT need to tear up the whole thing and start again.

I assume Stones is injured or fucked as he was class. My MOTM
I thought Stones was shown to be out of his depth as a midfielder tonight. He is no attacking midfielder.

Stones was very good. MOTM for me as well.

They need Akanji off ASAP. He's a bag of nerves at the minute.

Inter doing rightly here. City not playing well so far. Referee is letting er flow.

I wouldn't swap that our 1-2-3-4 for any other in the country.

Yeah they played Moortown in the championship final that year. A win meant they were promoted and a loss meant relegation. It was definitely a golden era for the club at that time winning Junior and Intermediate within a short time of each other.

A lot of the smaller clubs are suffering numbers wise at youth level you can see that at u8/u10 go game blitzes. Even at older age groups where teams are playing 11 a side. I think in 15-20 years the landscape of clubs in the county will change and there will be more amalgamations and mergers like Dregish and Newtownstewart have done recently.

They're 1 of 10 clubs within Coalisland, Clonoe and Dungannon parishes and all not that far apart.

I haven't seen 30 points scored by one team in an adult fixture in Tyrone in a long time.

Good work WAG.

You'd think they would have to throw in a few Friday/Sunday fixtures in order to give themselves some breathing room if we do make it to the final. Tyrone clubs mightn't be drawn in the preliminary round of Ulster so that would give them another few weeks to play around with. It will be a busy few months on the club scene from July/August onwards no matter what way the county team goes.

I'm near sure Maghery were relegated via the league last year in Armagh. It's in Derry where there is relegation play offs depending on how you get on in the round robin championship format.
