 Imagine leaving a club because you wanted to play D1 football only to be selected for the thirds and having to play against your first club. Scunndered for them.

Technology forwarding skills suspect to say the least

Do Eglish have Conor McKenna available for any potential playoffs?

This question is asked every year at some point and I think he played once like 4 years ago. His contract states he can't, so don't know why he would bother risking it

He played last week.

Burn

52 Seater to the game, a mini bus would have took them home. 

Better team won. Won it on the line if truth be told.

Kerry fans are animals, no one made that up.

go on..............

Dungannon which also has it's problems is at least surrounded by nice villages, Edendork where the vast majority of white / local parents send their primary school children*, Donaghmore, Moy, Benburb, Killyman. Omagh has Dromore, Trillick and Fintona. Not inspiring to say the least.
*The local primary school in Dungannon is 80% - 90% foreign national.

However, the people are lovely and It does have some excellent schools.

Firstly, don't talk shit about Fintona. Anyone still using it as a punching bag  metaphor must still be living in 2003.

Secondly, Trillick is a fair bit closer to Enniskillen than to Omagh, and most of its residents socialise, shop and go to school there (at least those not going to Dromore) - this years MacRory Cup squads being an unusual exception. Trillick folk are sort of Fermanagh men in Tyrone clothing, but there's never been any doubt to their cause for the red hands.

Thirdly, from the list of placed mentioned near Dungannon, yeah Donaghmore is nice but the rest? Edendork consists of one school, one church, one football and camogie club and nothing much else. The Moy has the Ryandale going for it but not much else either, plus they and Benburb are half in A***gh anyway and closer to the city are they not? - at least Trillick's all Tyrone. Killyman? Never been there bar the GAA grounds.

Fourthly, I noticed from that same list the absence of Moygashel and Coalisland. Any reason why? (P.S. I know the 'island is a bit big to describe as a village, but it is still within Dungannon's sphere of influence).

Finally, leaving aside the holy city, there are a few picturesque places surrounding Omagh worth mentioning. Gortin is a nice spot on its own, Seskinore is a tidy wee place, Killyclogher is a clean spot even if it's really now just a suburb of Omagh. Forget about Newtownstewart though, besides it lies closer to Strabanistan anyway.

Gortin is a great place to go see if people with six fingers is what you are into. Its like taking a walk through the 1960s.

Fintona is the definition of the word drab. The shop does reasonable coffee and they should be proud of that.

Referees in Tyrone are superior to anythin I have saw in neighbouring counties.


My only comment would be a foul given by one referee would not be given by another. There is a wide range in how the rules are implemented. But the majority are fit, keep up with play and don't side with one team or the other.

Fair play to anyone crazy enough to do it.

Did every club not have to pay £5k per year for three years when first built?

Then they have the cheek to charge clubs to use it.

Designed in the shape of celtic T-have you ever heard of such BS? Im sure the birds in the sky love the design but the players  detest the place.

If a inside forward is not able to kill a decent ball in then its the players fault.

There was ball kicked in to the FF line that should have been killed. Cant blame management for players having wing mirrors.

The defenders could learn from McKernan and be a bit nastier.

Very fortunate with favourable weather this year too. I have seen worse years for fixtures.

Id rather be playing late into the autumn than doing pre season field work three times a week like some Armagh clubs are doing!

[then how would the county board make more money from the replay?]

Aghyaran v dungannon replay set for Sunday.  Mcnulty getting married on friday. Very little talk of the drawn game on here, anyone at it?

Yes I was at it, Dungannon bossed the 1st half but didn't make that dominance count.  Horribly low scoring.  Aghyaran would have thought the game was up before the equaliser.  Hard to know who to fancy next day out.  Wasn't aware McNulty was getting Married this week.  That wedding already cost them a championship maybe cost them league promotion as well

I'm sure when he booked his wedding he thought the league would be long over. Extra time could have been played on saturday also

Extra time and common sense?? Surely not, then how would the county board make more money from the replay?

Such nonsense.
How much will they make from a  replay?

Enough to make a few pound and the expense of the club player. Ask most.club players would they rather a replay or extra time to get the season finished this time of year and the answer would be extra time. Another year of fixtures butchered by the county board

In fairness the fixtures worked quite well considering me were in an AI final without a ball kicked in the champ. Credit where its due.

Did I see Horse on the line for KWT yesterday?

Wonder will any club be stupid enough to part with money next year to employ a coach who cannot set a team up not to concede seven goals. 

What is your take on the 'spitting' incident Local Expert?

Didn't see it nor have I heard anything about it to now what's the allegation?

Come on now Localexpert, Coalisland is talking about it rightly.

If I was Coalisland Id be employing the services of the ginger Saul Goodman.
