Very enjoyable game; well done to both teams. Mayo for sure got some very soft frees. Lovely to see all the Feile groups there. Made a lovely atmosphere. Told my young fella at the start that watching Jamie Clarke is always a good experience and Jamie didn't make me eat my words - just class.

Thought Clarke was desperate in 1st half and brilliant in 2nd

A precocious talent but has made a county career reputation of running up blind alleys!

I'm sure the likes of Fermanagh, Leitrim or Armagh would be very glad of a Tommy Murphy 2.0 in the cabinet. They don't get much of a chance at silverware after all.

I doubt if one win in Ulster in 4 seasons deserves a new thread?

What has that got to do with this thread?

We've had enough nearly men stories. The potential of Armagh's latest set of cubs can be posted on the Armagh county thread.  The rest of us can wait until they actually win something of note.

In future I'm sure everybody will run their posts by you to make sure they're suitable

Pretty much everybody would know not to post about their county's underage development on the main board. 

Tyrone are held to different disciplinary standards than anyone else. Any possible black card infringement is always called and maybe rightly so but the same is never called for opposing teams. Conway took 10 steps for the Kildare goal.

I think it was Brolly who said you can take as many steps as you want so long as you look confident.

Mattie donnelly takes 7 or 8 steps every time he gets the ball and every time he's tackled he throws his head back to make it look like a high tackle. To say tyrone are reffed to higher standards is ridiculous.

He seems to think any physical contact is illegal. Embarassing at times. The sad thing is there is a quality forward there if he showed any bottle

Maybe if Tyrone gave him a free Hyundai and delivered all the performance enhancing chemicals nutrition he needs to his door every week he could stay on his feet like the Dubs....

What the f**k were Armagh at on that last play, ridiculous.

McGeeney's utter incompetence in tight games was on full display today.

please explain how?

Ridiculous statememt

Erm... Perhaps cos he's made a balls of virtually every tight game that has counted to date??

Nice display of comedy defending from both sides in the first 8 minutes! 

All the bitterness can't have been good for him.

Although he seems to be from a long line of bitterness so is likely to have had it instilled in him anyway but he did have a lot of reason to be bitter.
I'm not sure how well rounded I'd be having suffered the losses he did, without discussing the rights & wrongs of them.

It was probably what killed him as well. Trauma affects people differently. There is loads of trauma in the North.
58 or whatever is a very young age.  Dolours Price was also relatively young when she died.

Did Delours Price not die from a cocktail of  drink/prescription drugs?

Ibwould reckon her past had something to do with that cocktail of anti-depressants and sedatives.

Not too many active players from the troubles die peacefully in their beds having enjoyed old age I imagine?

Poor game. 2nd half Tyrone did what Tyrone do and killed the game when ahead. Faking injuries after tackles and taking all momentum out of the game. Their no 10 is a fine player but seems to think physical contact is illegal. Every time he's touched he's throwing himself to the ground.

Tyrone 14 and Kildare's Kevin Feely best players on the pitch.  Tyrone clearly have no one capable of kicking long range frees. Morgan brought up from goal missed them all but no one else willing to take them

Of course. They took all the momentum out of the game by scoring 1-13 in the 2nd half! Open your eyes. Lol!!

Kildare getting a new one ripped by Tyrone just Derry and Armagh have now for the best part of 15 years. Nice win.

Oh dear...Kildare down to 14.  Lenny thinks it was a dive.... 

Referee doing everything he can to give Kildare an advantage but it's not coming off for him. Expect a red card for Tyrone and penalty for Kildare at some stage...

You're talking through your arse, he favoured Tyrone the whole half. Some very soft frees given, Kildare have to work much harder for theirs.

And your talking through your fanny.  The black card was a joke. If that tackle was a black then Kildare could have had 2 or 3 at this stage.  Get the bitterness out of ye...
