the bed of heaven to you Eddie,a sad day for all gaa people.rip

Him, his manager and a dozen of his team mates should retire!

agree with you BNMM,might give the rest of us a chance 

Surprised the Canning situation isn't known nationwide by now.  Been a big fan of his since he burst on the scene and will be roaring him on Sunday. Hopefully they can do it.

havent heard anything baron,whats the story?

fair post johnny,my worry for galway, two boys in full back line are poor,coen is ok.think kk will target them big time,
Plus two young lads in their first final up front will never get the freedom Tipp gave them,only good thing for them is Jackie wont be there to say hi  kk by 5

was talking to an inter county hurler from a prominent munster county,who said he was hopeing tipp beat Galway,as the galway boys are supposed to be serious men for the mouthing,he sad they are the worst by  far.Interesting!

i love it,bunch of northern monkeys

did you read his post fella?tell me thats not a negative post,iam entitled to my opinion and dont need your abuse.Just read his post and read it slowly,you might get it then

I've been moaning all year since the U21 semi final about how we are a hated team and how so many "neutrals" don't want us to get back to winning ways or even close. I can understand this to a certain extent but now that we're in the AI semis I am shocked how many people who have come up to me and said
"Cheeze I hope ye go on to win it now, I'd rather ye than Kerry or Dublin"

What about Mayo I'd say and they'd often say nah we don't wanna see another Mayo flop in a spoiled final

Its funny how nothing physically has changed since the Sligo match yet momentum seems to grow and where there was no chance what so ever now, quite a few people think we have a chance v Kerry
I think if we can defend like terriers for the first 20/30 mins and not let in any goals then we will frustrate their very attacking forward line and then their supporters, who I expect to be out in HUGE numbers for a semi final for once, will start getting on their backs and will put them under pressure
If Kerry get off to a flyer which I suspect they will try to do then they could really take us to the cleaners as I'm worried our lack of strong minded leaders don't exist there any more like Dooher, Ricey or Jordan etc.

Patience is the one big attribute needed against this Tyrone defence and Cork showed it very well in the league
We frustrated them for long periods of the game but they made a lot of substitutions in the last 10 mins and started scoring amazing points from far out.

I expect us to build our double duvet 13 men behind our 40 right from the start and then let them pass sideways back and forward looking for an opening. Then when we strip the ball from them we attack at pace into the space their half backs have left pushing up and we have more freedom to shoot then.
Of course Kerry will expect all this now but will they be able to resist this extreme type of gameplan?

I expect the atmosphere to be very negative with the Kerry fans a bit like the Tipp fans in that they'll be waiting to jump on anything controversial whatsoever. Any soft free given to big Sean or anyone will probably be booed right away whereas any of their own indiscretions will be totally overlooked by a totally biased media now out for Red Hand Blood.
Mickey Harte thrives on this siege mentality and I only wish it was on SKY as well so we could get some proper analysis from Peter and Jim McGuinness rather than Howl on Howl on for an hour.

wow that post really says it all about tyrone,what a negative frame of mind.so its more of the same,puke football.
Dont know anyone that wants tyrone to win the All-Ireland,And yes ye are still hated.Thank god kerry Mayo and the dubs are still there,At least we will see some football from them

fair play Tyrone gaa,thats a start,McCann is just one in a huge line of incidents that bring shame on football in Tyrone,

lads lets stay on the Galway KK game.Sadly tipp are gone

[Of course calling someone a knob is also a mature and reasoned argument]

It is one thing expressing a dislike for Tyrone's style of football but references to Nordies(or freestaters for that matter) Brits, UK championships etc is nothing short of racist sectarian sledging and takes away from any serious contribution posters make. Of course calling someone a knob is also a mature and reasoned argument. For the record I am not from Tyrone and I don't condone violence on the GAA field. But Tyrone aren't the only perpetrators of diving or violence and as a keen follower of hurling I can say some of the belts delivered in this years championship make the handbags in football look tame by comparison.

well stop looking for the mods to mind you everytime you read something you dont like,and if you want to discuss hurling then go over to that thread,I was actually told to go over there a while ago. ,

Giving an opinion is spot on, why wouldn't it be? Blatantly trying wind people up isn't, it's sad and childish. However, that's easy to ignore, it's your time you're wasting. Referring to the Gaels on here from a certain part of Ulster as being from the UK and stuff like that is never acceptable and should be an instantly bannable offence imo.

iam not trying to wind anybody up or offend anyone for that matter,I have a right to hate Tyrone and all they stand for.if they are happy to get results as they do,thats their affair,dosent mean people have to like it.There are more than me on here slating them,would love it even one tyrone person would come and and condem their antics.

Loughnane should be a co-commentator. That's where he does his best work.

ah I  think Loughnane and Farrell could be put out to pasture now,

Benny I like you, have no problem what so ever with aggression,in fact tipp hurlers could of done with a bit of it last sunday,I have however a problem with thugs playing our games,Iam just calling it as I see it,same as the other posters who have a problem with Tyrone,sorry if I come across as aggressive,but too sledge a chap over the death of his father,and to spit at people,having numbers of girlfriends insulting mothers etc,cant be excectable,can it?sure talk about the match,but dont ignore the elephant in the room.if thats not ok here,well then I will go back to the hurling thread,fyi.tyrone are even getting a mention on the hurling threads,so done bash us newbies,look aroud the site.

now that the dust has settled on sundays win for galway,I fear for their full back hanbury,cunningham didnt trust him enough to start him full back last sunday,Mannion got hammered their,leads me to believe kilkenny will do major damage there,Think Coen will be ok,but what if he has an off day??Tannions best days are behind him,seems slow,at 31 is it to old for centre back in the modern game?Can you win an all-ireland with three dodgy back?Tipp only lost by a point with only one forward.You can be sure Kilkenny will have more than one forward on song.just my tuppence worth,plus kk wont give those young Galway forwards the space/respect tipp gave them
