Tyrone v Kerry - Omagh - 7th April

[ziggysego]

Tyrone - top of the table.
Kerry - fighting to keep division one status.

All taking place in Omagh.

Kerry by 7pts and two handbags.

[From the Bunker]

They have not gone away you know!

Kerry that is! All the old guns are back at the right time. And believe me there would have been no favours today from their neighbours Cork today who they beat handy enough. Tyrone have nothing to play for, so i would not be surprised if this turned out to be a win for the Kingdom. Tyrone might use it as a game to rest players, try out players and prepare for the League and more importantly Donegal in May. Tyrone are well in Credit in regards the old scores, and last years defeat in the Championship to Kerry, was only a small dent compared to the pain that Kerry have received in return.

Kerry to win!

Ye don't know Mickey Harte too well do you From the Bunker or are ye just hoping to stir up some shit?
I'd say Tyrone will want to finish top of the table

Oh don't get me wrong, Harte will want to win. I just feel he won't care as much about finishing top of the Division and about beating Kerry. There is bigger fish to fry in the League and even Bigger fish come the summer.

Reading the text so far it's Amazing how everyone wants to support Tyrone here, where were these fcukers when we were getting slUghtered for mcmenamen gormley and cavanagh diving.  Out of badness I think we let Kerry stay up. Fcuk it what could be sadder than a Tyrone team not giving a shit.

I see Kerry are heading away for a week's training camp this week.
They'll be well up for the battle in 2 weeks time I'd say.
Thy Kingdom come!

Thy Kingdom come!

Let the echoes of Killarney '12 reverberate incessantly about our lads' brains!

Usually you have to spend a week in quarantine after visiting Omagh!

This game should be used by the GAA to pilot the black card scheme.

Id say we need to keep our powder dry for a league semi final.  Kerry by a pint and a half.

The Cork and Kerry game yesterday would have been a perfect game for it.  Surprised there weren't a few red cards shown yesterday though, a fella punched Galvin on the back of the head and stayed on the pitch.

[sans pessimism]

Paul Galvin has a mighty beard.

they say its where his strength lies

[Fuzzman]

Here is a good shot of him with Noel O'Leary yesterday


Not to be confused with this one

On paper Kerry still have got quite a potentially lethal forward line with Gooch, Donaghy, the two O'Sullivans & of course ex player of the year Galvin.
It sounds like young Griffin did well at full back and Buckley played well at MF.

When was the last time Kerry were in Div 2? I can't see Tyrone taking the foot off the gas for this one as its great psychological progress Mickey has made this year, having had some tough away wins and defeat to Kerry at this stage wouldn't be helpful I'd say.

Tyrone will definitely go at this one full tilt.. cant believe some would even question that? Really looking forward to this game. Kerry are finding a bit of form again with their old guard returning. Tyrone will want to address the failings of the qualifier game last July.

I wonder what impact the portugal break will make for Kerry? Will it bring them on immediately - or could the heavy training & travel from portugal over easter - coupled with the long journey to Omagh 4 days later be a bit much in such a short space of time? I think it could.

Even though there is nothing at stake for Tyrone, there will definitely be a championship flavour in Omagh come the 7th April. Tie of the round.

Tyrone will 100% go out to win this. However, I wouldn't be sad if Harte decided to mix it up and give boys a run out as the outcome will have no serious outcome on the semi final. I'd go with something like this:
McConnell
McCarron
Justy
Gormley
Clarke
McNamee
McBride
Joe
S Cavanagh
C Cavanagh
Harte
Lafferty
McCurry
Mattie Donnelly
Penrose
