Does it go back beyond 2003?

In it's defence, as far as football goes, it's basically entirely focused on the club. So yeah, it goes back a few years before that 

This Teamtalk crowd are an embarrassment to the GAA and the good gaels of Tyrone!

You are embarrassment to the GAA and good gaels, care to clarify this comment at all now?

5. The Ulster council "we'll keep the statement private" approach says plenty without saying anything (IMO!) It says the incident happened but we have no independent proof so want to put it to bed. (Without proof players can't be suspended)

What you on about?
This teamtalk crowd have spun a story to suit a very very biased Tyrone agenda. I would expect this from an idiot on a high stool full of pints but not from a GAA publication. Perhaps on this occasion they are one in the same. I also find Bonners comments irresponsible.

Spun a story? They reported that the Ulster Council investigation concluded that the sledging about a player's father's death didn't happen and this report has proven to be 100% accurate.

This Teamtalk crowd are an embarrassment to the GAA and the good gaels of Tyrone!

For accurately reporting on a GAA story?

Couple of lads saying teamtalk have not been vindicated but haven't explained their logic.

Teamtalk got wind that the ulster council report found that sledging about a player's father's death didn't happen, and that has turned out to be 100% accurate.

[accept that the comments were not about the death of the player's father"]

Where did you see that?

The Irish News, Page 70.

" A copy of the report, seen by The Irish News, says "On balance of probabilities and following a review of the evidence it was likely that some Tyrone players made unwelcome verbal comments toward 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".

I wonder if Donegal knew that it would get leaked to the paper, would they have been so quick to claim that Teamtalk's statement was "factually incorrect".

Irish News has reported on the Ulster Council report. It has found that while sledging did occur, it was not about the death of a player's father.

Looks to me like Teamtalk's version of events has been vindicated and Donegal's claim that the Teamtalk statement was factually incorrect, was itself factually incorrect.

I wonder will Declan Bonner man up and apologise.

[have]

You had Bonner hung out to dry when you weren't privy to the detail of what happened and that's wrong...

Yeah you shouldn't proclaim something to be the truth when you don't know the whole facts, eh Screenexile?

So not only have Tyrone players called out a lad for his Father dying of cancer but...

Teamtalk is like a self appointed spokesman for Tyrone GAA and not for the first time was way out on their 'facts'...

Teamtalk are not a "self appointed spokesman". They are a core of people with a passion for GAA, mainly at club level, who promote it across the county through match updates and weekly radio commentary from selected club games, and often weekly radio chat shows, and who run an annual club all-stars banquet to honour club footballers. All in all, they are a resource that club people in any other county would kill to have and they deserve continued support.

They didn't publish both at the same time. If they did, how could Donegal have issued a reply to what was initially said.
The teamtalk statement was circulating via that same web link for around 2 hours before it was updated to include a response from Donrgal.

Some of the responses to the initial internal Tyrone investigation suggesting the allegations were untrue.

So not only have Tyrone players called out a lad for his Father dying of cancer but now you lads are trying to say Donegal is making it all up?
What exactly have Donegal to gain by making this up? They have nothing to gain by making this up so the logical inference is that it's true and Tyrone are coveting their asses with lies!

Scummy Tyrone at their best, they are nearly out doing all their other scummy actions with this one, they have high standards when it comes to that kinda thing.

Tyrone releasing a statement based on the undertaking of their own investigation is absolutely laughable. They are winning no friends here at all.
If there's an investigation to be had then it should be done by the Ulster council who ran the game last Sunday.
Tyrones desperate attempts to claim innocence on this is really pathetic here

What motive would Donegal have to fabricate this!? Fcuk boy some of you Tyronies are delusional!

I dont know why your all surprised by this latest incident involving tyrone,they have been at it for years,

Very disappointed but not at all surprised to hear of this latest incident involving Tyrone players mouthing.
It's even more disappointing that so many Tyrone folk seem more keen to deny or make excuses.

No shortage of apologists for the inexcusable behaviour of Tyrone players it seems.

Its the norm for the scummy county that it is,  normal morals or footballing traits don't work in Tyrone

Hardly a surprising turn of events in a county where "heroes" like Ricey and Gormley are lionised for this type of shit behaviour

Stay classy, lads. Must feel great to hang a under 18 player (legally speaking, a child) out to dry on faceless internet forums without first establishing the facts. Big men. Hopefully Bonner has the decency to contact the young Tyrone player targetted in this vindictive campaign and offer a long overdue and grovelling apology.

I got a great insight into the mind of Phil Coulter from that article, imagine presenting each member of a football team with a framed, signed photo of yourself ...  shows how much Mr. Coulter thinks of himself, inflated ego comes to mind.

The source is well dodgy tho

In 1995 he only scored one point from play and made a bad error in the closing moments when tyrone had a great chance of a draw...

Canavan scored 11 of Tyrone's 12 points in the 1995 final, and to you, this is somehow evidence that he couldn't perform in All-Ireland finals?

OK, Mods, please close gaaboard.com down for good, it can't get any more f@#king stupid.

From what i hear the problem wasnt just the lack of RTE interviews, it was when MH did sky interviews he didnt wear gear mentioning the current sponsers, in fact he wore gear promoting a well known hotel in Dublin. When told this wasnt to happen again he agreed, then did the same the following week. If this is true then i fully agree with what is happening, he needs to tow the line, i actually admire Jordan for digging her heels in here. MH would be the 1st to give off if there was no money for overnight stays before games nor for feeding after games and training, does he think this money just appears, also if he had no brown envelope at the end of the year im sure he wouldnt be best pleased.

While I also heard there were issues with the sponsors in regards what Mickey Harte wore on Sky Sports interviews, it's incorrect to say he didn't wear the McAleer & Rushe gear at all on Sky.

I'm not sure exactly how many Tyrone games were on Sky, but after the Monaghan game, he wore the McAleer & Rushe top:

But did not wear it after the Kerry game:

Going by the interview footage after the Kerry game, I don't see any logo/name for the hotel you mention, nor can I see such a photo/video anywhere showing him wearing anything with a hotel brand on it.

As for the cretin Hart...

Say what you like about "Hart", but he probably doesn't go online to verbally abuse people from behind a fake name.

Nice to see Carmen proving Francie correct

Nice to see you showing dignity and class in victory too.
