If Brolly couldn't stand Carlow's blanket approach v Laois at the weekend, he's really gonna love Carlow v Tyrone....
If yer man with the Palestinian flag sets up shop in the middle of the Carlow fans, the stewards will never find him.
Brilliant ;D
True fiontamhnach I'm wrecking my head thinking back and I can't recall one to the early 80s anyway. But for some reason I'm doubtful. I wonder which side ex Moy Tyrone And Carlow legend John the new king Owens will be supporting.
What about the Poacher factor? This man knows Tyrone insideout.

I was chatting to him about this morning. He reckons that the wily Harte will field an under-20 team next weekend, just to outfox that knowledge. Poacher has a plan up in his sleeve in case that happens, whereby Carlow will all enter the field with bandaged head wounds, and then call so many blood substitutions that the ball is in play for less than 5 minutes per half.
There was something else about his freetaker Broderick kicking his first 3-4 attempts with his wrong foot, just to lull all them Tyrone lads who've never heard tell of him, into a false sense of security. Should be an interesting match with all this going on. Doubt Brolly will pick up on of it either. He will be too busy talking about how Seamus Downey never dropped a ball in his life. Apart from in the televised matches he played in. Something strange always happened him when the cameras were on.
Yiz are underestimating the Poacher factor. This man is single-handedly taking the fight to Dublin in Leinster.
Added, he has a deep knowledge of Tyroniees by working for the Gaelic Life and takes courses and stuff. He is already inside McCarron's head. Poacher could be the winning of this.
Cut the crap@ Tyrone by 10pts

And he's married to a Tyrone woman I believe. All part of the master plan.
For myself and all those others wondering, who is the poacher?

;D ;D he is the coach. We should be talking about their manager Turlough O Brien, as he is the leader and who has turned Carlow around, similar to Rory in Fermanagh, Mickey in Tyrone, Jim in Dublin

I'd never heard of him until the Kildare radio commentators were giving out about him, and then in the lead up to the Laois game there seemed to be lads from every county he's come up against moaning about his antics. And in Parkinson's preview show while he'd great praise for T O'Brien, he said when Poacher is interviewed, all he talks about is Poacher!
I positioned myself in the middle of the Hogan Stand for the first half of the Carlow-Laois game, and while there was a lull in the game (most of the first half!) I took to watching Poacher. Christ, the man covers some ground. Literally every stoppage he's off! Often he'll carry a water bottle, but a good few times he forgot it!
He was doing plenty of cajoling to his lads, and the story is he gives it to the opposition lads too, although to be honest I couldn't say for sure that he did that on Sunday. The Laois coach was getting animated with him though, didnt confront him directly, but was trying to get the 4th official to stop him. Which was met mainly by a shrug in response!
Wooly mentioned in his podcast that he was flat out waving imaginary yellow cards and at one point made the substitution signal to the Laois bench to get one of their men off. Fair to say, Colm hasn't much time for him!!

He never coached St Louis. Was An Riocht manager when Martin came home from Aus the 1st time so would have been Martys coach. Think hes away to Lismore in Craigavon now that St Columbans has been merged with St Louis
Surely the legendary Poacher deserves a thread of his own!!
With all due respect to Carlow, I expect Tyrone to have this pretty handy. Carlow could only (in my opinion) beat a top team by catching them on the hop and at this stage everyone knows all about Carlow and Tyrone have played and played against every kind of defensive set up imaginable. Tyrone simply will have better players who will do more damage while Carlow will be praying for a free every time a Tyrone man touches them within 50. I'd expect the spread to be 6 points and Tyrone to just about beat it.
Created 5 good goal chances at least against Meath, if we can do that here and take 2 of them it's good night Carlow.
No assistant manager outside of Roy Keane appears to get as much media coverage as Steve Poacher.
If he is as good as they say he is, surely he must be the obvious candidate for the Down job which I'd expect to become vacant in the next few weeks. Could be the catalyst that Down football needs if someone as esteemed as Marty Clarke has put him forward as his choice.
Carlow put it up to Monaghan for long spells in last years qualifier match and I'd expect a similar encounter here with Tyrone coming through by 7-8 points. The only thing sure is that this will not be one for the traditionalists.

Honestly, it would be nonsense for any Tyrone person to say that we haven't been defensive the last few years, but I have seen changes and different approaches being tried this year in both the League and the Championship. Time will tell, but even if Tyrone went man to man you'd still have people calling it puke football and devensive shite because that's what's been ingrained in the public consciousness by RTE since 2003

I don't hate them. I just think they are not good enough. Racking up big scores against mediocre teams means nothing.
I thought after they got promoted in 2016 that they would kick on. I thought they might be good enough to challenge Dublin. And they weren't.
I think they need a new approach.

We are probably a level below Kerry/Mayo also, but still capable of beating them.

Dublin
Kerry/Mayo/Galway (yes I'd put Galway here after their league and beating Mayo again)
Tyrone/Donegal/Monaghan

Would I put us as favourites against either of those teams if we managed to meet later in the year? No. Would I be surprised if we won? No.
The only team I'd regard as a shock if we beat them at the moment is Dublin. That's not at all saying I think we're better than the other top sides, just that on our day we are certainly capable.
2016 Mayo only beat us by a point after a soft red for Cavanagh and a site of bad wides.
2015 Kerry beat us by 4 in a tight game that was refereed farcically one sided with crazy blacks for us and worse fouls let away with for them. We also as usual missed a load of goal chances.
The league this year we destroyed Mayo in what was a big game for both of us and we beat Kerry in what was a crucial game for us but not so much for them iirc. I don't think Tyrone look much better or worse than they did in 2015 or 2016 but Mayo to my eye look a worse team than they were and this young Kerry side are untested but look very good.

Carlow had a foundry?
by all acounts the challenge match pre mckenna cup between these 2 was abandonded with 4 men lined with tyrone struggling to deal with carlows size. tyrone struggle against a blanket defence and a tight pitch something carlow will provide. tyrone are a sideways team both running and handpassing. this game will be a hell of a lot tighter than the majority of people on here think. meath allowed tyrone too much space for the likes of donnelly and mccann and burns to run into that wont happen v carlow. i believe WACO has gone into lockdown since the draw last monday with all sessions behind closed doors and mickey koresh extending his rte media ban to even the local rags. poacher v the preacher could come down to scientific analysis modern coaching versus divine intervention.

Have Carlow taken in their sidelines?
Not only that - they've narrowed the goalposts and the 45 is now a 42.
Paddy Power offering Tír Eoghain at evens at a handicap of -7 points, and with all due respect to Carlovians that's about right I'd say. Less of the sham modesty.
***Sickening arrogance*** :D
The original anti football county against a team thats taken it to a new level....Should be a cracker!! :P
All joking aside I think Carlow might trouble Tyrone and +7 looks decent !
Any of the injuries cleared up - is Big Kyle really back?
Tyrone by a few here - foot of the gas in the last 10
Even if Carlow kep it tight they have no scoring power. If Tyrone get ahead early its game over. If not it will stay tigh but when game opens up after 55 mins tyrones higher quality will make it a comfortable evening. Everyone is awre of what Carlow bring to table now and thats gonna be there probelm as it was agianst Laois. Laois mirrored them largely. If tyrone do that there is only one winner. Likely though tyrone will be more aggressive on kick outs etc and if this brings joy early it will be a tough ask for Carlow.
Jay Sus!
If Mickey wanted to lower fans expectations both inside and outside of the county he certainly has done so.
A narrow defeat to a very poor Meath team after extra time after a convincing loss to Monaghan who then lose to Fermanagh and now we're all wondering will we get it tight to Carlow.
Seems a long way from where we were last summer.
Talk of bringing back players of haven't been up to scratch before, certainly seems to show we are not in a good place.
Personally I just want a summer of exciting Sat night games and then a wee run in the last 8 and I'm happy.
I had my 4 kids all togged out in their Tyrone gear for the first time ever on Fathers day in the park and this Armagh lad cycled past with his kids and roared out "COME ON ARMAGH" to them.
Rebecca (9) shouts back "It's Tyrone NOT Armagh" ya gobshite".
OK maybe not exactly what she said. ::)
At least your kids didn't attack each other.

TV or radio, possibly only a local station ??
Curse and swear, Lord Kildare!
Mick will do what Mick will dare
Now O'Brien, have a care!
Fallen is your star, low!
Up with halberd, out with sword!
On we go, for by the Lord,
Mickey Harte has given his word:
"Follow me down to Carlow!"
;) :)

BBC iplayer?
KCLR radio confirmed on Twitter that they're covering it.
Tyrone should win by 10
Carlow (ex D4) might try to horse Tyrone out of it and then target their fragile confidence.
Or else get hammered.
http://listen.kclr96fm.com/livestream/
Carlow 1-2 Tyrone 0-5
Tyrone edging in front now, should hold on once they get 3 or 4 clear.
Have to say the coverage on Carlow radio is brilliant balanced coverage for a local station.
3 up at half time with the usual butchered goal chance and a few bad wides by the sound of it. Fair play though they kept the head after the goal and scored 5 unanswered after it.
Bit of perspective needed is Carlow they're playing... like the Brazil manager going crazy after a goal against Costa Rica ffs! ::)
Game over
3-14 to 1-10 full time
Very comfortable win in the end. Kinda kept about 9 points between them all through the last twenty. Bigger challenges to come but that's a good score against that kind of team.

Aye both had great teams and now believe they're contenders and overhype wins against the minnow teams now; while the top teams hammer them Dublin-Germany

Have you watched Tyrone or Brazil recently? :D
Strong, tight, won by 10 points. Well done Mickey Harte and team.
Who's hyping anything? What idiotic statements.
I read load of press about the big challenge this would be... that's hype

Did you? Maybe share some of it for the rest if us. All I heard was predictions of a comfortable Tyrone win. That's what I said in this thread before the game.
You're talking shite.

The same Carlow that beat Kildare by 7 points this summer. Tyrone beat Carlow today more comfortably than Monaghan,Dublin did last year.
"A load of press" - FFS ;D
Aye I suppose they have to hype up the games try whip up some interest.
Oh dear the mask slips again on long ball.
What a load of bollocks. I hope you never listen to Jim Gavin talk before a game if you think that's hype.
Don't be fooled as easily as last year lads..........

Had an average league. Lost to an average Monaghan, scraped past Meath and won handy against Carlow. Hardly getting excited.
Compared to last year where we whipped everyone km sight before Dublin.
Another small step for Tyrone, the win was expected today. First time in Carlow and enjoyable day out. Thought Niall Sludden and Richie Donnelly impressive. regular game time helping both to find form. McKernan another growing into the side.
Tougher tests coming soon, and disappointing to concede another goal. Monday's draw be interesting. The way the fixtures fall, and with the super 8s potentially to come, 16-26 is now so important. Crucial a few of those lads step up. Thought RON could have been on sooner, I'd have emptied the bench a tad sooner looking at the bigger picture. We need one of Bradley or Brennan back soon. But happy enough with that today.

Big fuss over nothing. I could easily picture a commentator saying that.
Poor aul Jinxy.
Leinster final day and another year gone with no sign of a Royal Revival.
Things are so bad now that even Laois are making Leinster finals before them.
Ahh well, at least there's some comfort in finding fault with a Tyrone Twitter Tit who should have saw black or red for such a disgraceful cut at the poor Carlow free taker.
This bad smell follows this Tyrone group everywhere, even in the web.
Well done Carlow fans so for being very pleasant hosts and graceful losers. Bit disappointed not to be offered a scallion all day though
Kildare next Leinster team up I presume though I'd settle for Leitrim.

Sad, the lengths some folk go to for offence. >:(
And just to echo Fuzzman's sentiments re Carlow -- football aside, a thoroughly enjoyable experience, go raibh míle maith agat Carlow folk.
