Also think Derrytresk will win jfc final - and if they do, then I don't think anyone else from Tyrone should be allowed to progress to ulster on their behalf. Just my personal opinion but nobody should be benefitting from their punishment.

Pisses me off to this day that Derrytresk got shafted

[There's no bigger responsibility than captaining your continent in a golf game]

Neither of whom can play. I think Captain at the Ryder Cup must be the most overhyped position of all time.

There's no bigger responsibility than captaining your continent in a golf game.

McGinley is not up to the job - he's happy to just be in the job, and he's left out a supreme match player in Luke Donald for a local lad, in an effort to curry favour with the Scots. That's weak captaincy. Sandy Lyle or Monty should be leading us.

Watson's presence on the other hand will galvanise the Yanks. He's the only US captain to win in Europe in the last three decades. He'll do it again and he'll lead like FDR.

This has to go down as one of the biggest facepalm predictions on the board in a while...

I'd suggest/hope that sidney was extracting the urine, this is a glorified All Star Weekend which Sky in their usual understated way are trying to make into something it's not.

Had to laugh at Mrs Doubtfire harrumphing about the 'hangers on' on the course, that's the whole point, weekend jolly for golfers, friends and family.
Paid for by the Ole Ole crowd.

agree with that, and rory throwing around the LAD fleg makes it even more cringe being from these shores. Ball of shite altogether.

Prior and Tebbitt seem to be calling it a draw.

Fellow Conservative peer and former party chairman Lord Norman Tebbit, whose wife was paralysed in the Brighton bombing, told Peter Taylor: "I have no sympathy for those who declared the war but having said all that, one way or another, a ceasefire was achieved and to that extent it was a price that was worth paying.

Tebbit himself is a victim of British colonialism, persecution, sectarianism and Thatcherism and he's too blinkered to see it (supposedly). His wifes life changing injuries were a price worth paying, the ultimate slap in the face to the poor woman. Tebbit knows only too well what went on in the 6 and his role in it and he tells this to the public to save face for the "establishment". I wonder if his private opinion matches his public.

How Cameron hasnt declared war on Somebody in the last month Ill never know.  Has the troops issue hasnt been capitalised on to any great extent. 
They needed business argument to win this one.  I expect them to do it because they have every corporation in the world bullying the sovereignty of the Scots.
People will vote with the economic uncertainty.  The Scots will pass up on their greatest chance because of multi national corporations and the thinly veiled threats.  The commonwealth games etc in Glasgow was very interesting this year.
If they vote to stay part of the union then they might as well join up in sports etc for once and for all.  Scotland as a nation will be a laughing stock.

Her Majesty's wars this last 10 years have been tenuous at best, in reality the Iraq invasion was illegal, the meddling in foreign affairs and the Whitehall position on Palestine are odious. Cameron can't afford to give the SNP the ammo of "your sending our boys off again to the frontlines" hence last week when Obama needed a few troops for his excursion into Iraq/Syria he had to defer to the Aussies.

Bob Geldof does my head in, odious, not knowing the fella and yet I have this irrational level of dislike for him, its the whole self-righteous-wannabe-likeable-vagabond charachter thing I perceive.

Them green cloth gloves of Wee Barneys must have been sewn to the shorts.  He has had them there as long as i knew him.

Barney is certainly doing well as a manager to build on an excellent playing career, leadership qualities in abundance. Hopefully after a good run at the Carmen job he might be in contention for the Tyrone senior job after MH, although that will likely go to flavour of the month at the time which is at least a year away.

He would know the club scene inside out and knows a thing or two about being unfairly overlooked for the red hands which would hopefully give him a better perspective than to pick lads just so an in-house training game can be fulfilled with no real opportunity of actually making the team.

Have Omagh a chance this evening?

Not a snowballs chance in hell, not a punchers chance, nothing.

I can't see how anyone can be surprised by this story, Mark Harte was touted as under 21 manager at one point before Fergal Logan answered the call. Mickey isn't the first manager tworin thereing alongside him, take McIver in Derry or Baker Bradley with Antrim as recent examples.

For all the complaining I'm yet to see one person name a realistic candidate to replace Mickey? And I mean realistic.

I still have a feeling Mickey is meeting trouble half way by adding mark to his management team going right back to when mark was a player with tyrone it was always rightly or wrongly shrouded with controversy. ....would rather have seen a more experienced man In there may be that man is not currently available or will be added on down the line

Mark Harte had an exceptional underage and club scoring record when Mickey rightly called him into the senior squad, but Mark was not fit and was lacking match practice when Mickey unfairly brought him on in the 05 Ulster Final replay, the Tyrone fans then famously let themselves down by booing him off the pitch in the 06 NFL.

Unfortunately while Mickey keeps letting his heart rule his head we'll be talking about nepotism ahead of professionalism with the Tyrone setup.

Teamtalkmag have it that Mark Harte is coming on board!!

I'm sure that will appease the lads on here who are calling for Mickey to resign. 

Infuriate would be more like it...mickey would be meeting trouble half way here I think!!

Someone throw a bucket of iced water over mickey quicksticks, this is gonna end badly

I would rather Arsenal bought no-one than went for Remy or other players who are not up to it. As in the past we have bought some terrible players in the last minute trolley dash, Squaliacci, Park, Santos being the obvious recent examples. If the players aren't available that are going to improve the first team then promote from within.

I said it before, Vermaleen spent the last two years as captain on the bench, Wenger has just promoted Arteta to captain and isn't going to sign someone who will depose him straight away, regardless of the needs of the team Wenger has his approach, his favourites, his experiments and his stubbornness.

I think Wenger will be looking at it thinking Diaby is back soon to cover for Arteta, Walcott is back soon to cover for Giroud, and it'll be grand.

Far too much space in front of back four. Gerrard not the answer as a holding midfielder in games like that against big teams. Great passer and all but sadly the legs just aren't there and when he reacts to the runners it is too late. If there is anywhere we need a new signing it is in midfield!

BR was out of his head last year when he said that Gerrard is the best midfielder in europe at controlling a game. Nowhere near and never has been, its not his game but its all BR can think of to make sure he gets the start. Its not going to end well for Stevy, he is undroppable but not up to it, same as his world cup contribution.

joke of a red card, game over, thanks ref

[I'm optimistic that the kop will inspire him though.]

If he gets close to 20 goals a season he'll be a success for an outlay of 14m. My worry is that he's not the type that will work hard which will put pressure on the others to play the pressing game. I'm optimistic that the kop will inspire him though.For the money it's worth the risk I think.

Aaah, the myth. I look forward to seeing which teams crumble in front of the myth in the CL this year. The amount of times an average Liverpool team progressed in the CL as visiting teams shat themselves instead of being inspired. Real Madrid that time being the most unforgivable.

If you think the Kop is going to inspire Balotelli you probably also think that Louis Suarez has a little place in his heart for Liverpool... well he doesn't and you's embarrassed yourself pandering to him when he brought your club into disrepute several times. Only a matter of time before Mario pulls a wobbler. As much as he has match winning potential he also has the potential to undo a lot of BR's good work to date, a huge risk not worth taking I would say.

If Sanogo or Giroud were English then Wenger would never have given them a sniff. That's what is really annoying. He is totally biased towards French nationals. Shane Long or Niall McGinn at Aberdeen would do a better job than that joke Sanogo. Wengers logic is quite often shite. Don't offer players over 30 more than a 1 year contract extension being one of the old ones he tried to change recently by offering Sagna 3 years. He has shat in the nest far too often and is a huge part of the problem re lack of trophies this last 10 years.

His latest thought process is that the Germans aren't ready for 1st team action yet, now I despise Mourinho but he wouldn't stand for that bullshit notion and he had Schurrle playing last night. Joel Campbell is the one who will miss out with this Sanogo experiment, the kid is ready for his chance and Wenger is searching around for reasons to leave him on the bench or better still send him out on loan, the guy scored against Man Utd in the CL knockout stage last year and was a revelation at the World Cup, if you can't get a fair crack of the whip then, then when the hell can you??? Hasten to add if Joel Campbell was French...
