Think Clarshak said in another thread Kerry are bad losers and even worse winners.

I'm pretty convinced the 2 Canavans will win us an all Ireland at some point in the next few years.

Is there anyone else in the u20s worth a go next year?

There'll be some crying done by the English this week about sportsmanship.

Tyrone were in 5 semi finals since 2013. That team had a ceiling in the form of the Dublin 6 in a row team. In the normal course of events they might have been expected to win an all Ireland in 2016 or 2017. As it happened they were like a small farmer who got married very late in life. 2021 was towards the end of the life of the team. Dooher said at the time that you have to seize the moment. They will have to build a new team around the Canavans.

That's a pretty good summary. A plethora jumped ship after the 2021 AI. They knew they had sneaked in and stole an AI and that there was not going to be any more rewards. They were also previously part of a Mickey Harte system, that did not look like to be fun to play especially for forwards. Mickey stayed too long and smothered the team with his system.

Christ of almighty. This shite again. Not only was it a lucky All Ireland but now they've sneaked in and stole one.

I thought Cawley was grand yesterday. A game that turns into a tanking is generally easier refereed than say the way the 2nd game turned out. I can see how they missed the McCurry incident. It was done on the blindside. Not like McCurry but dirty nonetheless.

If I were a ref in Croke Park, for a big call if go having fake chats with umpires and lineman but I'd sneak a look at the replay on the big screen to see the craic. If Lol lane did that he'd have saw it wasn't black and barely a foul.

Big screen immediately cuts the feed when there is a foul and doesn't show replays of it. For black card calls it wouldn't be a bad idea for refs to be able to have a look at it on a replay.

Armagh really have a chip on their shoulder. Seen Armagh supporters with kerry flags.

Even seen Armagh fans cheer the Kerry bus as it arrived into Croke Park. Weird behaviour.

Paddy Tally?

Malachy O'Rourke not considered to be enough of a Tyrone man?

Anyone calling into question MOR Tyrone credentials needs there head examined.

Anyway what's with this it has to be a Tyrone born and bred..

Oh I'm in agreement with you there about MOR. I think him and Porter would be the ticket alright.

At least some Armagh fans went home happy

Kerry were fitter, faster, stronger and simply better than Tyrone. Very disappointing from a Tyrone perspective. A few players had their moments but there has to be a serious rebuild now heading into 2024.

R Canavan came out in the 2nd with tape around his knee so had to be an injury or else it was complete madness to take him off.

At 6-6 we were right in the game even 9-6 at HT wasn't the worst. Similar to above i expected the kitchen sink to be thrown at Kerry in the 2nd half and instead we didn't even go out with a whimper. We were lucky Kerry didn't hit the net another 3 or 4 times.

What was with the short kickouts? All week we talked about how our midfield was better. Obviously management disagree. The one time we went long in the first half the ball was flicked on to McGeary who albeit fluffed it but it was into  a dangerous position right from the kickout.

Yeah that was the puzzling thing. I thought first few kickouts we were sure to try that out.

We have a real lack of pace and unfortunately that was laid bare today. O'Sullivan ran the legs of Donnelly up and down the pitch. I think that'll be the end of the road for him.

Only bonus was McShane coming on kicking 2 beauties.

Boys this whole league has gone to $hit.  The money has gone to a new level again.  Love to see the whole thing crash

It's madness. When Abramovich first came to Chelsea he bought 11 good players for £120m. Now Arsenal have spent £165m on 2. Surely it has to go pop at some stage?
