only getting to post my thoughts on the weekend now was offline for a few days..... will hopefully be offline longer after sunday when the fianna finish the job.

i knew it would be a close game unlike some of the jokers on here.  glad at least the fianna showed they are most certainly up there with the best of the teams in the county ... something that seems lost on a lot of people.  one joker thought the fianna squad wasnt strong which is mental and shows they nothing sweet f$%k all.

pity we couldnt do it on sunday infront of the the rahilly guests of honor ..... sporting beautiful new shiny jackets may i add.  took it from the cashidy fund i heard after he left for good last week.... ah well 100 years and all that maybe they can get young doris to lead them for 125 years ..... he'll be well warmed up by then

[Obviously beating carrickmore in 2010 is a bigger indication of the team when nobody gave them a chance.]

Coalisland team in 2007 most were u21 that year and ended up wining u21 championships in 07 & 08 playing aginst a seasoned dromore team who had been knocking on the door for a few years.  Obviously beating carrickmore in 2010 is a bigger indication of the team when nobody gave them a chance.  The experience of 2007 should ensure it won't happen them on Sunday.  So overall most of the fianna players know what it takes to win a championship and what it's like to lose one so the greater experience should stand to them. Add in the youngsters such as hampsey and mckernan (who roasted pj lavery over 2 games) who haven't won one, Coalisland shouldn't be too far away.

I could be wrong, but coalisland where the Bookies favourite going into this final.  A game i feel Carrickmore lost along the line.  But thats all history now.

Better team definitely won that day.   What's you excuses for the last 10 years of failure

  I think we have won as many senior trophies as coalisland in the past 10 years. In fact we have been more successful than coalisland in winning trophies since 2010. Whats your excuse for failure on pushing on since 2010 considering most of that time is still playing? Drink, Drugs and gambling? Or maybe all 3?

Whoa there horse !!!

Jesus asking if coalisland hadn't won anything since 2010 because of drugs is the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.  If you're asking that about coalisland why haven't carrickmore won a championship since 2005? By More successful  I assume you are talking about league titles which although nice to win don't mean a lot.  But if you think it does coalisland won 15 out if 15 league games in 2012 which doesn't often happen.

So far it's all opinion but the one fact we can take away from this is that since the tyrone championship became ultra ultra competitive with numerous teams capable of winning it over the last 10 years carrickmore haven't had the cajones to bring home the bacon.  Thee golden years have reached its winter and there will be no spring again for a long time.  Paddy o'neill won a fortune betting on carmen not winning for 10 years.  I heard he went double or quits.... talk about printing money.....

Doubt I hit a nerve. 😂 The reason the Tyrone championship has got ultra ultra competitive is because the standard of football in Tyrone has dropped. Not because all the teams have come up to the same level. TBH I think and I hope coalisland win on Sunday and if they do paddy o Neil will be down a fortune as all his money is on killyclogher. He mustn't think much of coalisland either then.

No nerve hit with me I'm drug free bar the copious amounts of caffeine I ingest.  Think questioning if a group of lads are on drugs is a slight defamation of character.  Aye he's full of the brown stuff anyway so hopefully he's wrong about Sunday but right about carrickmore 

Isn't that ironic, considering the amount of defamatory comments you have posted here on your short time on the board, and the mods more than happy to allow you to continue. Reading your posts you are quite the gob shite.

Some times i wish there was a like button on this forum!

Count me in with the like button!!!

Look lads you'd need to look up what defamation of character means because you obviously don't understand it at the moment.  Cassidy is being paid by clonoe which is true how is that defamatory .......

On a side note I have noticed that all of Coalislands east tyrone neighbours have wished them all the best on social media for the game on Sunday so I was wondering will clonoe do the same   

Hastag just asking....

your bashing of Clonoe is relentless...Should not be in bed on a school night you are behaving like a baby.....Would you wish them luck?

Yea id rather have the o'neill cup in East tyrone every year.  Considering Coalisland and clonoe can see each others fields  they must be the closest rivals in tyrone and considering the championships between them is some going.  Whereas in the west there are miles between each club.

Anyhow did cassidy still get his diesel miles this week ?

Hashtag just asking?

The east is due an o neill cup. 3 in the 21st century isn't much of a return

I'm more interested in Coalisland being team of the decade in tyrone by being the first to win 2 championships;)

I think Coalisland put everything they had into the 2 games against Clonoe, wont be easy getting the intensity back up to that level. I guess Killyclogher will have an easy day and run out winners by 4-5 points

Would be very surprised if either team run out easy winners. Coalisland will be more tuned in than that.... was talking to a few of them after their players meeting in oul kieran donnellys shop at the top of the Hill and they sound ready to go..... young bear cub hampsey can quare put away a chicken burger .....

Whats stupid about getting 15 or 20 grand for doing something that you enjoy doing.

I wouldn't say the person getting it is stupid but I would say the men paying it are.  I think it goes against the whole ethos of the gaa which is why I'm against it....

[Micky Harte]

Where do Clubs get the money to pay 10 to 20 grand a year expenses?

The bigger clubs in the county can afford that sort amount thing from their membership base or big fundraisers.  That's why I hesitate to support a big ticket draw or fundraiser drive these clubs do (Most recent one springs to mind was Errigal and the sums they were reportedly paying McGuckin).  Credit to Errigal they have now moved in house but that might not be the case next season.  Sometimes there will be a business man or men help facilitate the payment of a manager to see the club progress.  I'm open to correction on this but Tyrone Gaa don't fund Micky Harte but Club Tyrone do? Is that right, I would like to get a look at his expenses.

Club money should stay in the club to improve facilities or for youth transport and day to day costs.  I'm not against expenses because nobody should be out of pocket for taking on a management role (including an in house club person), but not crazy amounts being banded about the country.

Since we're in the mist of "Rumours" plenty doing the rounds that Mc Aleer an Rushe aren't too happy at paying MH £80,000 a year for him to boycott RTÉ and get them advertising exposure

dont worry will be over when he reaches his goal of not speaking at the banquet 

Speaking of banquets .... will cassidy get an invite to clonoe's 100 year celebration without bringing home the bacon this year?
If so:
1) will he get a ticket for nothing?
2) will he get 'expenses' to attend?

Hashtag just asking.....

Probably get a free ticket like he does to the club dinner every year. That a side Cassidy has been paid we all know that but it's an undisclosed figure I'd say Killyclogher and Coalisland are paying what Clonoe are paying this year, kildress carrickmore aghyaran errigal ardboe dromore omagh brackaville derrylaghan derrytresk brocagh tattyreagh cookstown to name a few all pay or have paid a manager in recent years its the norm agree with it or not, how many of them have bought success with these managers I know Clonoe certainly have 2 championships 2 leagues reserve championship u21 Tyrone and Ulster all while he has been involved in the club. So I guess the question being asked is would your club pay out £15/20 thousand if it increased their chances of success? I know most would. Coalisland was split last year when their Agm voted to pay a manager now they have 3 and are in the final, if they win next Sunday will the ones against payment be any happier after the success gained?

Jesus you'd think he'd pay for the ticket after all his expenses no? I'm guessing he gives his time free at least that night?

£15-20k just to increase your chances of winning is a bit steep don't you think?  Setting aside the stupidity within clubs if they pay a manager 15-20k I think it says a lot about the man if he's willing to accept that kind of money off a GAA club.

Nobody should be out of pocket but there are men wringing clubs dry and it's crazy.

to be fair it was great to see cassidy beat again after all the "expenses" he's received from clonoe.

any word on who clonoe will now replace him with?

Think that's unfair.  There are not many clubs that don't have managerial expenses these days and to label that solely at Cassidy is inappropriate.  Do you think McKeever/Gilligan are running round Coalisland for the good of their health?  Only mentioning them because that was the opposing team but realistically I would go as far to say 85% of clubs have a manager in that requires expenses beyond travel.

they absolutely aren't running around coalisland for the good of their health and are being paid a certain amount of which i don't know.  however it wont be in the same realms that cassidy is getting and in the years he has been there he has amassed a tidy sum of money which i totally disagree with.   surely clonoe and the other clubs that do it have people within the club that can look after their own teams.

on a side note.....  Is young colm doris still warming up in dungannon i thought he was coming on, on sunday?
