I thought it was a strange decision for carrickmore not to concede the game against killyclogher. They had nothing to gain by winning, were playing a team who were obviously going to be much fitter than them at this stage of the year and a bad defeat was going to reflect badly on the management.

The management would look at it as being a lot worse of a look to concede.

Are certain posters suggesting that Tyrone have 9 different club teams capable of winning Ulster?

Not in the slightest, What i have said is that the top 9 teams would give any team in ulster a tough game

If your ma had balls she would be your da. The point is they didn't, couldn't, haven't in god knows how long, end of that debate. You must hold Clonoe in very high esteem when getting to within a point or two of them qualifies them for this argument/discussion. I am talking about this year, next year is a different set of variables

Well i do hold them in pretty high regard to be honest, great club with great people involved. Beating a team by a last minute goal in my mind would mean they were in contention to win throughout the entire game no?

Name these 9 teams you headers!!!

It's not hard to find the top 9 league team's in Tyrone from the Tyrone GAA website (Killyclogher Vs Carrickmore still outstanding). So the 9th team is Carrickmore or Trillick based on this year's league form.
1 An Droim Mór Naoimh Damhnait 15 12 2 1 292 156 25
2 Omagh St Enda's 15 11 2 2 265 187 24
3 Coalisland Fianna GFC 15 11 2 2 256 184 24
4 Coill an Chlochair Naomh Mhuire 14 11 2 1 233 155 23
5 Errigal Ciaran 15 9 5 1 244 199 19
6 Clonoe O`Rahilly's CLG 15 8 4 3 238 197 19
7 Ardboe O'Donovan Rossa 15 8 4 3 234 205 19
8 Trí Leac C. Naoimh Mhic Artáin 15 6 8 1 210 222 13
9 Carrickmore St Colmcille's 14 6 7 1 242 206 13

Any of these 9 teams could beat eachother on any day, would also give any team a tough game within ulster.

I agree - it would be hard not to, particularly when you consider that last year's champions did so and are now 8th (or 9th depending on how they are being ranked).

Pissed myself laughing at that, Arbboe, Errigal, Carrickmore currently not in the ball park. Trillick this season not in to ball park either. They could well be next year. That leaves Killyclogher, Omagh, Clonoe, Coalisland and Dromore, five teams lads who this season were the only serious teams in the championship.

So how do you work Clonoe are much further than Carrickmore? Beat them by a single point in League and a goal at the end of the Championship game? If Caoloan Daly had not have got injured Carrickmore would have beaten Clonoe they were all over them the entire game.

Myth. Tyrone football at senior level is overrated.

Explain.

That a team can come straight out of intermediate and win it tells you all you need to know.

... and go on to beat the Donegal champions and lose by just 2 points to the team that took Crossmaglen to Extra time in the Ulster final. By your logic it doesn't say much for Ulster Club football generally.
Looking at the talented youth coming through with Trillick might provide a better explanation as to how they were able to make the transition to Senior football so effectively - including Richard Donnelly and the two Brennans joining the more established players (including Matty Donnelly, now a 2-in-a-row All Star). When you look at their team sheet it's probably not surprising that they were competitive in their first year at senior football and continue to be so.
I suppose Sunday will tell us how far Tyrone club football is behind the best in Ulster anyway. Personally I can't see Killyclogher being too far away.

So you don't think Tyrone football's over-rated either then - glad we're in agreement!

We both know it is! your argument that last years champions got beat by the team that got beat by Cross is funny though

Coming from someone from Armagh where their championship is a farce lol

I'm not in denial at the weak state of Armagh football though.  We have at most, four clubs who could challenge in Ulster. The way Tyronies get on all 16 of their senior clubs are a match for each other and after bruising encounters with the likes of Augher and Strabane their senior representatives are too exhausted to make a proper assault on Ulster

No definitley not all 16 - but any of the top 9 teams could win it and all 9 would have a chance of winning any county title in ulster.

Dont forget though that Trillick may have only came up from Intermediate but they also have 4 players on the Tyrone senior panel and at least 1 player on the county u21 panel.

Kilcoo will have too much craft for Maghery.
Be interesting to see if Slaughtneil have the legs for a buoyant Killyclogher.

Once the Slaughtneil lads put in a few tackles the buoyant Killclogher lads will be less buoyant, Derry club teams have done really well in this competition over the years as they come through a tough championship, as do Tyrone, but why they don't do well is certainly a strange one..

I think you could be wrong about the few tackles bit, Killyclogher lads got punched,kicked,elbowed and many other things in the county final and jumped right back up! I fancy Slaughtneil myself but Killyclogher could give it a good effort! Mark Bradley has been unmarkable to date in the championship.

I see teamtalk have it up about being the final round of the league fixtures this weekend, anyone know the story with the Carrickmore and Killyclogher game that had been postponed! Won't make much difference to Carmen but could decide where killyclogher finish in the top 4!

I was talking to a Coalisland friend last night and they've heard Killyclogher will do a Kilcoo and Pull Out Of the League completely. Also said Cassidy wasn't on the line for Clonoe

Surely they will wait until after this weekend before deciding that?

Anyone have any links for highlights of the games this weekend?

On TG4 tonight. Doubt you get much of the highlights of these online.

Perfect cheers!

Anyone know if there's links for highlights of the weekends ulster games?

WBF sitting beside Martin Mc Hugh who failed miserably last Sunday what manager doesnt double up on Michael Murphy.Kilcar lost the run of themselves talking about an Ulster club title. Noticed he went to ground last week. He is a typical sunday game pundit   know all who now has the most expensive  assembled college team in Ireland who me and you WBF could probably win with or go near to winning Sigerson with the Masters Squad at his disposal.

All of that doesn't change the fact he might not be far away about Bradley! Of course it's early days to be saying he's the next canavan but he's the most naturally talented forward in the county IMO. Reminded me of canavan from the treatment he received getting hit late etc yet still looking for the ball and some outrageous scores!

Mark Bradley was simply awesome last night. Been compared to Peter Canavan bit premature not one Coalisland player would be near county standard when he does it in Croke Park and other places its just so different.Killyclogher have been the best side in Tyrone for the last couple of years and they deserved their success last night.

The coalisland players may not have been county standard but mccarron or Mccrory were unable to get near him either! Was sitting beside Marin and Ryan McHugh last night at the game and they were completely amazed by Bradley! To quote Martin McHugh "Bradleybwill be Tyrones next Canavan"

All the same he won't get close to being at Canavans level if Mickey has him playing centre half forward and tracking back! He has to go in the corner surely at this stage
