Holy F. Big Quig could be another Frank McGuigan in the makin?

Justin?

Neither manager is going to want to lose this one! I expect a strong Tyrone team.

Vernon is no full back. Ciaran McKeever midfield? What the f...?!

Where would you play him then?

If you're referring to Vernon, midfield or half forward. Definitely not full back! McKeever, centre half back.

How did Charlie play today, did he play at full back? I think it is worth a try playing him there because he hasn't proved himself at either midfield or half forward over the last 4 years. He has apparently played a few excellant matches at full back in challenge games under Big Joe.

down easily overcame a disappointing monaghan team in clones. down dominated all areas of the field and won pulling up. down goals were scored by kallum king(2), dan gordan and benny coulter.

Should have been a straight red for Antrim's no 2 in the build up!

Quigley will score 0-2 (frees), get sent off and Ferm will lose by 9

Played at FB for the most part. Had a comfortable game, but was up against a very weak St. Mary's forwardline. Will probably get another go at it on Wednesday night.

I read the Teamtalkmag.com match report as it happened version and watched a few of the scores there from good "old" Jerome but was any of ye at the match today?

How did the full back line play?
Have we learnt anything yet from the new young lads that have came in?
How did McKenna do at FF or was it inevitable that we were struggling until SoN came in to settle things down.
How did the MF do? What happened Cass? Is he out again injured for a while.

I brought the young lad to his first GAA outing at U5 yesterday wearing his Tyrone shirt. He wasn't the only Tyrone lad there. If he turns out any good I'll move back up home don't worry. He won't be another crying whinging Kieran "Star" Donaghy.

Decent crowd at Casement on a fresh, dry afternoon. Tyrone were shocking in the first 35 minutes. There must have been close to 10 wides with some very wayward shooting coupled with 2 or 3 into the keepers hands. Tyrone had Girvan playing at corner forward but he was deployed around the middle to sweep until replaced by Penrose with about 15 to go. He played in a similar role. Consequently Tyrone gifted the saffrons posession from every kickout for the 70 minutes which was a nonsense in my opinion. On the other hand Devine went long for the entire 70 and we just about broke even. Antrim could've been out of site we were that bad. Cassidy had to be replaced after about 20 minutes or so. Stevie O'Neill was introduced before half time and he produced a succulent 40 minutes of ball. One point off his right boot was pure class. Himself and Peter Harte are looking in top form at this early stage of the year. 6 points unanswered at the start of the 2nd half was much more like it but the saffrons battled back to 9-8 before Thomas McCann had 2 chances to score a goal in the same attack. Devine saved well though. Stevie's goal put the game to bed. Ronan O Neill showed some nice touches and always makes himself available, but kicked 2 frees into the keepers hands which wasn't great. I thought Peter Hughes at 11 battled gamely and Clark at full back had an ok debut.
