The only team needs is a rich chairman a helicopter and a pilot.

I wouldnt worry too much ec, I think you can get back up there again. you had 2 championships and one O Neill cup in Ballygawlly out of 4 before Errigal Ciaran was formed.   the decison to join up and form errigal Ciaran has been a wonderful one for the parish.

st Vincents is nice Gabriel.  I cant quite make out Ardboes beyond the cross but its a strong image.  Norf - sorry about the poo line 
come on any more crests get the up for a slagging.  What is the worst club crest you know of. 

Great to hear Brian after what he has been through even cares about going back. Will he be wearing some form of protective headgear in the future or will the eye return to full strength. 

Lynchboy is that a lion playing Hurley?

The new Tyrone one is fairly boring I believe. Most clubs are disgusing the fact they cant draw, by having a creative abstract (thick crayon) interpretation of the local pond /tree as their crest, and theres no consideration given to the fecking size the image is on the jersey...   What looks like a jistorical monastic settlement in a4 supersized loooks like a wee wab poking up the ways when reduced to fit in a crest. Clever eh!!  The steelstown / Kildare one is very nice though and bucks the trend. I think most clubs / counties need to redesign to appeal to perhaps new members; you know people who dont worship the local oak tree (Derry!!)
No offence Norf but poo is not crestworthy in my eyes. 

Lets face it lads most club crests look like they could be drawn by a 5 year old with thick crayons.. Holy feck Ziggy that castles  unreal.   

Miko just talking more shit..

I think Grimley got waht he deserved for apparently attempting to undermine Big Joe - Guess what he got undermined himself.  Mc Geeney represents the closure of a fantastic era for Armagh football.  But it was time for him to go, from a source in Armagh he became bigger than the team and the county and tha manager couldnt manage him last year - what hope for a new manager coming in.  He needs to step back for a bit and then test himself as a football manager.  He reminds me a little of Roy Keane in his determination.  Could he manage the same way? I hop he hasnt done it for a huff but I think hes bigger than that.  A class act and a decent honest footballer with great leadership skills.  One of the all time greats I believe. Others should follow - In Armagh Big Joe held onto too many too long - it happens in all counties.    

Tyrones backroom team isnt abnormally large is it?

Write off Errigal at your peril!  They are always a formidable outfit and will remain one of the favourites for league success.  Coalisland will not be quaking in their boots at that performance but beyond that I personally think its an exciting East Tyrone derby thats in prospect here. Id love to see the game in Omagh again because the atmosphere under floodlights for championship is superb.  I dont think any balance of power has shifted to the East of the county despite the fact that 3 out of the last 4 clubs are from within 8 miles of each other - I had always believed that despite the dominance of the big 2 there were always 1 or 2 clubs in the background who could challenge given a little bit of luck which was never really there before.  To me having seen all four clubs I think its fairly even keel from here on in.  Credit to the Cookstown men for putting pride back into their club, credit to Dromore for sticking at it year after year;  credit to Coalisland for really burstiing onto the scene over the last 2 seasons and credit Donaghmore who have stuck at it with maybe more darker days than good ones over the years despite many false dawns. No disrespect to the fantastic achievements of errigal and Carmen over the years but this is a good thing for Tyrone football.  Neither of them would have been competive in Ulster this year either as they are rebuilding but maybe in a few years time this shorter season will stand to them.  I dont think anyone would begrudge any of the last 4 success, and without getting into th gamesnamnship end of it. After Carmen this year I believed Coalisland Fianna and then Dromore.  Why change now?        

What a tragic week for 2 clubs in Tyrone football.  My sympathies to the families and friends of young Packie Breen and Patrick Devlin.  Absolutely shocking.
