McKenna Cup 2024

Thank you. Comforting to know it's bothering the shit out of apple-chompers to be moved to comment on it.

Four in a row McKenna cups is a truly remarkable achievement for Tyrone, I'm sure their supporters appreciate the true value of this achievement.

Nope, all part of the process, but we may appreciate it in a few years time if we get relegated to Div 3. It does no harm winning games. Your policy of not winning the McKenna cup matches hasn't really paid dividends as you bombed into division 3.

I thought division 3 was a myth.

Ah it's great. People can climb over the fences into games. 1 page double printed programmes and 3 bars of chocolate for a punt. I think the Armaghniac's will love it.

As an Armagh man am I allowed to say I thought Tyrone played well tonight. Over the 3 games I have seen them play I have been impressed with there midfield. Didn't think there was much wind tonight compared to the last week or so but Tyrone did seem to have it in there favour in the second half when they were playing into the 'scoring goals'. It is also great that they like a bit of the old diving etc - it gives us all a good reason to dislike them.

They're Tyrone. That's reason enough!

Armagh supporters didn't care about the McKenna cup. Makes you wonder why so many turned up at the semi-final.

Presumably they went to marvel at Tyrone's wonder team on the way to their fantastic four in a row.

[north down]

That must be it - they weren't there to marvel at the Armagh skills.

Any highlights online??

Sidebottom on commentary though:-(

Not sure if it has been noted already but he must have called the McKenna Cup the McRory Cup at least twice.

He's probably getting mixed up with the fact that both are named after great Tyrone Gaels.  Dr McKenna was bishop of Clogher while Cardinal McRory was from Errigal Ciaran which proudly boasts the most living holders of All Ireland SFC Medals in Ulster.  You couldn't throw a shoe down the Main Street  in Ballygawley without hitting a double AI winner! 😄

Armagh were very hit and myth in D2 last year

[armaghniac]

Hit and myth. Yes, their hits were a myth.

Armagh are probably more like Div 4  standard.  Punching above their weight at present.   Have any previous AI winners fallen as far in the decade following their triumph?
