Paranoia, on Tyrone's part.
Particularly by Derry and Armagh supporters. Strange people.
And also Roscommon supporters who seem to think there is a rivalry there. They are even stranger people.

I see a Kerry player confirmed on social media that it was in fact poisin water. If true, a 10 year ban i would expect, i hope the player (s) in question can prove it by some sort of testing,

So he uses in the 74th minute Rory Brennan seeing number 4 being substituted and mistakenly thought it was for him as being as example of dark arts? Then tommy Walsh trying to block Morgan coming up for a free as just a rush of blood to the head? Yerra yerra darragh.
The reason people are "obsessed" with them is because they bring the game into the gutter like no other team ever has, between players diving when their hair is touched to sinister sledging to the latest alledged poisioning water, no other team would stoop so low.
Their supporters are also the most confrontational supporters you would come across.

Lot of stuff here about poisoning water. Can anyone back these allegations up? Has anyone got a source for this? Otherwise this is a pretty big smear campaign coming out of Kerry / Kerry camp. Be very disappointed in Kerry but not surprised. Feel free to post the evidence. (Nb. Evidence = proof, not hearsay off social media)

Totally agree his article has nothing to do with the match, Tyrone is mentioned 4 times and yet the headline purports to be all about Tyrone. Must be a handy few quid after retiring to write shite and get paid for it.

Fergal will be counting the money already!
its on social media under some GAA pages on stalkbook and instagram, there are screenshots of conversations, find it yourself. A Kerry player was asked if true and he said yes.
Stephen OBrien has confirmed he was poisoned on a private instagram chat. Unsure what tests he has went under but he seems sure.
He should be taken to court

Rumours circulate that a Kerry player accuses the Tyrone management of poisoning them, yes f**king poisoning them, in an All Ireland semi final and others spread it across all forms of social media. Then Tyrone people get accused of having a persecution complex when they defend their team from the ludicrous accusations. It's a crazy world we live in.

Good Jesus.
Is the word poisoned not a bit of a stretch irrespective of anything here? I remember doing belfast marathon one year and kids putting fairy liquid in water. Does that count as poisoning?
The whole thing is a bit ludicrous.
As someone else said it's Novochok stuff here lol.
Seafoid there are 6 counties up here so why would one suffer that over the other. In saying that I still think Angelo sleeps with a tin foil hat on.(Well actually maybe he needs to lol)
The irony of the onlu county to have multiple players fail dope tests in national finals allege that they drank contaminated water in an All Ireland semi final.

Nope it looks like someone has sent O'Brien the screenshot of the whatsapp message asking if there's any truth to it and he's said "yeah the dirty c***ts".

It wasn't even supposed to be part of NI under one of the partition plans.

I'll admit I was bring a little facetious in my response (probably due to spending the past 3 hours in a soft play gym) and if Mugsy has stepped out and shouldered a guy for no reason then I agree there's no excusing it.
Edit: Just seen it. Yeah - no excuses. 😂 Not as hand wringingly bad as suggested though.

A nonsense article too from the usually decent O'se
The headline isn't based on the article. The headine is very anti-tyrone though, which gives precedence to the thread title. Is it partitionism and just manifests via tyrone as only northern team successful enough to bother anyone?
The headline is taken from a quote O'Se made in the article
"Christ, if they put as much thought and brain-power into the actual football as they do into all the other stuff, they'd be some team"
That was regards a player trying to get free for a short free, not in reference to any 'dark arts'.
'I thought of him a bit on Sunday watching Tyrone. There was one stage where a substitution was being made and one of their players came over to the sideline pretending to be the one coming off the pitch before doubling back on himself in the confusion to show for a free. I was watching this thinking, 'Christ, if they put as much thought and brain-power into the actual football as they do into all the other stuff, they'd be some team.'
Its a leap for the sub editor to make the link (and include the McKernan pic) when the only specific ref to dark arts is Tommy Walsh getting wired into Morgan (but sure that was only a bit of craic).
I'm not from Tyrone, and have no love for them, but I do see the bias.

The narrative has been in place since 2003 since Pat Spillane in a fit of sour grapes tried to diminish Tyrone's football and style of play because they beat Kerry up a stick.
Above all counties in Ireland, I have no time for Kerry, their fans, their antics, their double talk and bad grace in defeat. Fitzmaurice was out right in the aftermath of the win trying to impose pressure on Gough for the final. Kerry have absolutely zero interest in a fair fight and will engage their propaganda machine in full flight.
It disgusting watching the likes of Colm O'Rourke cheerleading them and ignoring all the cynicism that goes with them and then have him spouting on about the bad smell following Tyrone.
Maybe if the Derry lads had much experience of being in crunch games with Kerry at the business end of Championship, they might soon realise we are only in the ha'penny place.

Its the only reason RTE keep him on, he's like a wet teabag for everything else but he perks up when he gets the opportunity to spite Tyrone.
Tyrone aren't as cynical as they used to be, but they have a reputation based on previous years that they cant shake unfortunately. Before the black card Tyrone were masters of the dark arts and for me the most cynical team in the country. They'd get in front and from about 15 min from the end start dragging down players, going down injured or doing anything to kill the pace of the game and stop the oppostion gaining any momentum.
You also had various incidents at under age in a short space of time involving Tyrone were I think at u21 level an opposition manager refused to shake hands with Tyrone manager because of the verbal abuse aimed at his players and a separate incident were a Tyrone player was accused of sledging an opponent about his Dad dying!!!

Poor, gullible, diddums... do you believe everything you read? And do you really want someone to list out the Dubs' verifiable on-pitch transgressions over the last 10 years, which amount to a whole lot more?

Sour grapes. Some of the dirt from the Tipp players was shocking that day including their midfielder stamping down on a prone McShane. In fact the amount of late and filthy hits McShane took that day was well across the line.
You sling enough mud and it will stick and that's what the media have done with Tyrone.
Imagine people were bringing up the fact that under Jim Gavin, Dublin have been involved in the following incidents
2x biting allegations (O'Gara and O'Brien)
2x gouging incidents (McCarthy and O'Gara)
At least 3 diving incidents in Championship football where a Dublin player tried to get an opposing player sent off (Cooper v Monaghan, McMahon v Mayo and Mannion v Meath)
A behind closed doors mass brawl in a friendly game
A player pushing a match official
Etc
Tyrone seem to be the only county who have a log kept on their transgressions.
You really think a lad would make up a story he was sledged about his Dad dying???? Yet you wonder why neutrals dislike Tyrone.
It says alot about the perception of Tyrone football that people believed the story about the water bottle. If the same rumours came out about Mayo or Kilkenny no one would believe it

Theres a balance to all these things. Nice boys win sweet feck all and in championship football you need to be a nasty bastard and a cute hoor and all the rest of if but obviously that sort of personal verbal abuse is over the line.

I don't think he made it up. Michael Carroll never even alleged that happened, the inquiry from the Ulster GAA concluded that no comments were made about Carroll's father and this finding was accepted by both Donegal and Tyrone.
This is the type of shit that you are basing your views on.

Kevin Cassidy article saying Michael Carroll never made any allegations about what happened.
Ulster GAA's findings:
On balance of probabilities and following a review of the evidence, it was likely that some Tyrone players made unwelcome verbal comments towards the Donegal player during the game.
Both county committees and the investigation committee accept that the comments were not about the death of the player's father.
Tyrone GAA has expressed their best wishes to the Donegal player in question. The Donegal GAA officials welcomed and thanked Tyrone GAA for their comments and have also expressed the same sentiments to all the Tyrone players. This matter is now concluded....
The Committee agreed with both County Committees that the findings will remain confidential. We would also highlight that recent media reports regarding the investigation do not accurately reflect the findings of the Committee

That's 3 so.
Listen all teams have had dirty players over the years and all teams are at this sort of this shit which most of the team fans choose to Ignore.
I have no problem with that, the problem I have is when fans of these teams point the holier than tho finger and when the media e.g mainly ex Kerry players cry about it but ignore their own teams behaviour.
No successfull county in the last 20 years have been squeaky clean.
Exactly, it's this nauseatingly sanctimonious shite that dublin7, Kerry (in general), et al., perennially come out with. Would make you puke! :P
I am shocked to read of the levels of persecution carried out by the nefarious O'Rourke & Spillane and anybody from Kerry, against the honest decent football county of Tyrone. I had no idea this conspiracy was so advanced, from those at the top at RTE, all the national newspapers and most deviously those Kerry natives who orchestrate the whole campaign. Add into the mix, all the referees who with dedicated purpose are out to thwart Tyrone's hopes at every opportunity.

If the Donegal manager feels they got sledged but the young lads father wasn't mentioned fair enough I was wrong. I still don't see how Tyrone can somehow claim the moral high ground. Sledging in minor game and so bad in an U21 game Tipp manager refuses to shake hands afterwards. Watched alot of U20 games this year and didn't see any of that from the players.
I stand by my point Tyrone have a reputation for cynicism and blaming it on Pat Spillane and his puke football comment is head in the sad stuff. Do you really think people would have believed stories about doctored bottles if it was Mayo, Kilkenny or really any other county??

People who are a bit thick and believe that only Tyrone minors sledge or that only Tyrone get involved in cynical play will of course believe that Tyrone doctored bottles of water. But you'd like of think most people aren't that thick.

Saw a video there of mugsy behaving with great dignity at a club match. Hits an opposing player a shoulder right in the chest from the sideline as he's running up the wing and then hits the opposing manager two haymakers on the side of the jaw. Classy stuff
At the risk of bringing this one up again - Is the player on the receiving end Down's Connaire Harrison?
It certainly looks a lot like him... Mulligan still trying to do his bit for the county then!

Bit rich coming from a Down man. One of the worst scenes of GAA violence I've seen yet was the running battle between Ballyholland and Downpatrick last year.
I agree entirely - but your whataboutery has nil relation to the question (ffs).
If an informed person could confirm it was Harrison then maybe we could conclude that Mulligan wanted to knock the wind out of possibly one of the opposition's better players on the day and if we can say that, then maybe we could all agree that manys a time we'd all have liked to knock the stuffing out of the opposition's best player.
So that's my approach here. Free the Cookstown 1.

You've already framed an argument on factually incorrect statements. I'm still waiting for you to retract your earlier remarks which were completely false. In the meantime you have gone off on another unsubstantiated rant to feed your prejudices. If I called you a stupid fool on a football pitch, it wouldn't be sledging, there would be a large degree of truth to it.
Tipperary boo hooed about cynicism in that game. Their methods to try and stop McShane in they match should have been awarded a distinction in dark arts.
Too many people on here want to have it both ways, I'd just rather ever teams was treated the same.

Harrison has joked with Mulligan on Twitter about it, so I'm kinda lost
Right - I'm not on twitter. Thanks.
