Derry played well, but the danger of inbreding means you can't last a full game.

I thought the danger of inbreeding is a fascination with men's genitalia and certainly Tyrone have taken this fascination to new levels this season!!

Yeah McGuigan should take a look at himself for that and I'm sure the authorities will as well. One that got away for us if Brown had gotten that free at the end I think we would have went on to win.

Baffled by some of the changes made by our management and it seemed as if we didn't want to win this game leaving Kielt on for so long and bringing in Brown and Diver at the end but we're safe I suppose and that's all you can say.

Tyrone again cleaned out at MF but we had little to offer up front when Tyrone double teamed Paddy which was ultimately our downfall. All these players we have used and all these "options" we have well there weren't too many evident this evening in the FF line and the one option that has barely been tried yet has been left on the bench since the first game of the league!!!

John McElholm, Tyrone

P.E. - Teacher in St. Marys Magherafelt?

If it's the same John McElholm then he should have been retired by then, not trailing for a tv show. I played in a schools final with him in 1984. He would have been 33 at that stage.

I meant 33 at time of Underdogs.... not schools final ...............he was 14 then.

It must be the same guy as he ended up teaching in Derry somewhere.

Same John McElholm alright. He took me for MacRory at ... Had never seen him play football so didn't know if he was any use but he was definitely an Underdog and would have been around 33 at the time alright.

While were on the subject and since he was mentioned - i don't like Martin ONeill either.

What did he say?!

Bryansford I think he was... I played with him a couple of years ago for St. Peter's of Manchester and Lancashire. It was some trip for him to get to our place from Carlisle but fair play to him he did it.

I just hope there's not too many Mucksavage Tyrone weemen about wearing their Tattyreagh/Eskra/Edendork Geansai's and UnderArmour underneath them... if they look at you the wrong way their brother/husband/cousin (All the one man) usually takes offence and starts the ruck! They were well behaved in Celtic Park last year but it will likely be different on their home patch!

Taken from the Derry football thread -


Sean Cavanagh has admitted he would love to stick it to rivals Derry on Saturday night after last year's 'showboating' at Celtic Park.

Derry hosted an won the corresponding 2008 league fixture and celebrated, according to Tyrone star Cavanagh by goading their great rivals. 'If we're looking for something to kick-start our season then a game with Derry is certain going to answer that,' said Cavanagh. 'We played them last year up in Celtic Park and there were a few "tackles" that night.

'Paddy Bradley was toeing the ball a bit at the end, maybe a wee bit of showboating from the Derry guy's that maybe didn't sit too well with the Tyrone supporters or us.'

Cavanagh also added his voice to growing calls for Tyrone's May 31 Ulster SFC clash with Armagh to be moved from Omagh to Croke Park.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of team we put out. I have a notion that Cassidy will not be too interested in winning this game (Championship rivalries are what matters to Cassidy not preceived league rivalries) and will just use it as a chance to give fringe players some game time. In fairness though most new lads who have come in previously have stepped up when needed. Not too worried about the game though as it's more important for Tyrone to win it than us. It's full steam ahead to the Monaghan game now I reckon.

She's a crap singer anyway and that new Diet Coke ad is a disgrace... who cares what she's ranting about!

Fine I've taken back the w**ker comment... but it strikes me as sad that the world has become so cynical when a man is being castigated throughout the world for something which people have tried to pin on him and yet come up without a shred of evidence for. As I've said our justice system is supposed to be based on the "Innocent until proven guilty" premise which seems to have gone completely out the window in this case. Year on year people try and diminish the man's achievements and try to uncover some wrongdoing yet it has NEVER happened.

In my opinion it is begrudgery plain and simple. "Well everyone he has beaten has been on drugs so he must be!" He was told he had a less than 40% chance to live through his cancer and he survived... just because every other kn**ker is on drugs doesn't necessarily mean he is. You are judging someone and his behaviour with regard to your own when you have to realise that he has proven his standards are way above many other peoples comprehension!

Andrés Escobar was more than a month younger than you when he died of murder by gunshot on July 2, 1994. He was a footballer who played defender for Atletico Nacional and the Colombia World Cup team. You were 12 years old when he died.

Yeah it doesn't say that he scored an own goal that effectively had him murdered!!!!

I hate having this debate as it makes me sick... I hate drugs cheats as much as the next man but as everyone has said here nobody has any kind of evidence to prove he was/is a drugs cheat.

As I've said before, the fact that he won his 7 tours without testing positive and then retired makes me think that if he was/is taking drugs there is no point in coming back to the sport as he would have gotten away with it. The fact is he could have retired happy with 7 tours and a clean record so why risk it all if he does take drugs to come back again??? It doesn't make sense.

As for people that argue "Well there's no proof that he did take drugs but there is also no proof that he didn't!" Well my mistake I thought we lived in a society where people are innocent until proven guilty!! I for one will be huge admirer of this man until someone can prove without any doubt that I shouldnt be!

All sports companies do. It's up to you who you want to use. Any sports company is fair game as long as they don't provide you with a playing kit. Azzurri, Gaelic Gear and O'Neills are the only ones allowed to provide playing kits as it is a GAA bye law that playing kit must be made in Ireland.

I've seen every company from Nike, Adidas, Puma and Fila provide tracksuits and polo tops for a number of different teams. We got a set of polo shirts made by KooGa last year.

Heard this the other night on Skins and was mesmerised by it... Great Cover!
