Relegation in 1 interesting also. I think st teresas are down?

I'd expect Murphy and McHugh to get all stars.

I've never moved for a pay decrease but there are two jobs I have worked in I would have considered it for.

Talk to them but if only go for the job if you are prepared to follow through with your threat of leaving if they don't offer you more money.

Two championship goals for loughrey. Not bad for a corner back.

Is a drag back a black card??

I would say a few things learned today...

Grugan looks fit for game time at least for Tyrone.

Connolly still hasn't discipline.

Brogan still has it.

On both sides I think a couple of boys won't have done their chances much good.

Connolly had a good game today and I'd be amazed if he doesn't make the bench on Sat night

He was unlucky with the black card. Mistimed the tackle. To  criticise his discipline is ridiculous
Comerford excellent under the high ball and another youngster Bugler was the best player on the pitch

Ah I like connolly.  He is fantastic but he needs to keep his nose clean for his own good to get back on that team. He wasn't unlucky. It's a black cars when you pull a man down and he pulled a man down. I hope gavin keeps with him though.

Yes goalie was excellent.  I thought looking at the Tyrone goalie he would probably be a better number 1 than Morgan.

By the time Dublin made replacements before throw in there was about 2 starters in there and they were boys needing game time. I don't think any one team took it any more serious than the other but one team's reserves looked a good bit better.

Not sure it was even played at league game intensity.

A large base of dup vote would be farmers... hence rhi to keep them sweet!

Look I could be wrong here, but I think you'd need to go back to 2012 to find an "at the level expected" performance from Murphy against Mayo. This is surely related to the fact that he rarely comes up against similar physical specimens.

Murphy is clearly a step up on O'Shea (and I mean no disrespect to AOS here, for Murphy is an all time great of the game in my eyes), but it would seem that Aidan and Seamie are among a select few who can reduce Murphy's influence on the game.

Murphy's sheer body size helps him win a lot of ball.He doesn't have that advantage against those two. I think he needs to be further up the field in this game to influence it as they might curb him a bit more again. Not completely but more than anyone else so far this year.

Possibly. But that's a county board issue. The demand was to shorten the IC season and that has been done. What counties do with their club championships is up to them.

It's not entirely though. It needs to fit with the provincial calendar. Counties could finish early but then their champions would be at a disadvantage as they would lose match sharpness.

I'm from Antrim so it's not like we ever need to wait round for the county but every bloody year the finals are in October. It's not our county board's fault to be fair to them. Relevant in vast majority of counties.

I saw a kid who I would say was no more than 3 or 4 years old on the outer ring in Belfast - a 2 lane 50 mph road -  the other week. The parent was on the footpath on a bike waiting on him. I have never seen anything like it.

Not much mentioning here about the trouble in the new lodge is this around internment bonfires? 
These guys are as bad as the wee scobies and their 11th bonfires.

Stop eroding our culture 

100% right. They are just as bad.

That is saying something these days with Boris in charge and Farage basically being an ever present.

Yeah the inconsistency was the big thing. Most hurling refs at that level are consistent as they let *most* stuff go anyway. He was fussy at times and not at other times. Also the high tackle stuff is in the rule book and the punishment is black and white. It wasn't enforced.
