McKenna Cup 2024

Always nice to beat Monaghan and I see they were up to their old tricks again, if you cant win start hitting!!

[Throw ball]

Bank of Ireland Dr McKenna Cup Semi Finals:
Wednesday 21st January, Throw in 8pm
Cavan v Fermanagh at Kingspan Breffni Park Cavan
Armagh v Tyrone at Athletic Grounds Armagh.

The Athletic Grounds is more accessible for Tyrone people in the Dungannon, Ballygawley etc area and should draw a bigger crowd than Omagh would. Cavan have a bigger support than Fermanagh so a home match for Cavan should draw a bigger crowd. The toss of coins worked well for the Ulster Council.

When is the final fixed for

[Fuzzman]

After the first game's shenagians and Armagh's back to basics play the man first strategy thanks to McGeeney which works for them, I can see a bit of a tough game again. Tyrone  lads will want to show they won't be  pushed about.
I might even go if no snow

Fuzzman we decide when it snows in Armagh...and it won't be on Wed nite. So come ahead and enjoy our hospital hospitality, should be a good game and hopefully we can keep 15 men on the pitch this time to give you hardy hoors from Tyrone a game.

In regards to the old tricks, id like to comment that the reason the hitting started was Gearoid McKiernan making a sectarian remark to Drew Wylie.........no place for that shite on a gaelic field....

That's a very serious accusation to make FarneyMan and the first I've heard of it. Is that what the Monaghan lads are sayin?

You have mighty hearing Farneyman, all they way up in the stand. I see a load of the mushroom men saying that within half an hour of the event over on hoganstand. Maybe he made a remark about the fact that Wylie nearly removed Martin Reillys head??? You have no evidence to back up that accusation.

[FarneyMan]

Dont need mighty hearing if able to talk to players that were on the field..........and correct Wylie's tackle was awful and rightly so he got carded for it, but the verbal abuse from McKiernan has no place in the modern game....

We will have to wait and see what the referees report says, McKiernan got red for something. I hope its not what you are saying though

[mylestheslasher]

There was no mention of this in any match report or commentary afterwards. How did it get into the stands nearly before the game ended. Farneyman - you are accusing a young man of something and you have no evidence, I suggest you stop now. It could just be someone assumed he said something sectarian. For all you know he could have insulted his mother or his hair style. If something like this genuinely happened Monaghan should report it through the correct channels. Until then you should desist from these accusations.

Really hope that McKeever doesn't start picking on Cavanagh again this time, we need him on the field if we are to have a chance of winning the game. Wouldn't be surprised if Geezer rests a good few players for this. Don't think he will want any more bad publicity or ammunition ahead of a possible USFC clash later on in the year.

[FarneyMan]

"How did it get into the stands nearly before the game ended".........might have something to do with Finlay being asked what happened my his management team when he was walking off the pitch.....his reply could clearly be heard by supporters close to the sideline....

I hope it has been picked up by the ref and is in his match report, and if not then hopefully Monaghan will report it through the correct channels.....

Fixed that for ye.

I disagree Yeller. I think both managers and squads will want to create a winning mentality and are both stubborn men who don't like losing. Under Geezer Armagh in my eyes have returned to their bully boy, physicality approach which served them well in years gone by which we saw in lots of games last year with lots of flare ups and not just v Cavan.
I can see Tyrone wanting to lay down a marker than they won't be easily bullied again and with it being in the Lions den this game could again see a lot of heated blood on a frosty night.
With Tyrone losing out to Armagh last year Armagh can taste blood and know the tables are turning back in their favour.
The rest of the country of course will look on in glee as we beat lumps out of each other in January.

Are they still hoping these wee triangles and circles on their shirts will bring them back to their glory days
