The usual resentment from the nordies again lol

["We're approaching it in a very serious way in the sense that we're expecting a huge battle here, because all the evidence would point to the fact that Derry are better than Tyrone," O'Connor said."They've proved that by winning Ulster the last couple of years. They've also beaten Tyrone pretty comprehensively the last two times they met them."They're on another level to Tyrone; therefore, we're expecting a huge battle.]

Jack with his usual par for the course swipe at Tyrone. Bitter bitter man. These comments, whether they are true or false, and perhaps they are a correct assessment, are hardly standard discourse from a county manager. How often do you see the previous opponent actually named out loud as being of a weaker standard, would the standard cliche'd "were going up a gear now" not have sufficed. I nearly hope Derry bate them.

I hope Derry hammer them into the ground. If anything it might help them find a new county to be bitter over and help them get over a Tyrone obsession that is going 20 years strong now.

Your having a laugh

[There is another Tyrone poster that I really take issue with though. He is constantly trying to create the narrative that Kerry are bad losers and even worse winners. This even seeps down to club level where he also made some crazy remarks on this year's junior final.]

Not trying to create any narrative. I'm going by video evidence along with word from within the Kerry camp. Watch when the injury occurred here at the 1hr 19 minute mark. https://o-trim.co/yoGovq

Clifford had an ice pack on his thigh during extra time, clearly seen on television. Have a look at the recent Sunday Game, in the lead up to the Kerry/Tyrone highlights, the ice pack on his thigh is also shown. Just want to debunk this cramp myth as that is all it is, a myth. Absolutely, Niall Morgan did what he had to do in competing for the ball. It was 100% an accident. I'm not in one way trying to take away from Tyrone's AI win, it was fully deserved. All Ireland wins are hard earned, I hate it when counties are not given full credit. You seem to be a very decent poster so it came as a surprise that you of all people are trying to indicate that I'm attempting to create a narrative. Just as in all walks of life I only stick to the facts.

There is another Tyrone poster that I really take issue with though. He is constantly trying to create the narrative that Kerry are bad losers and even worse winners. This even seeps down to club level where he also made some crazy remarks on this year's junior final. County supporters who are used to winning and losing take it in their stride and that goes for every Kerry supporter I know. His hatred for Kerry knows no bounds. It's doubtful if he even knows one Kerry person. It is another myth that Kerry never gave Tyrone credit for their victories in '03, '05 and '08. This was all media driven. They had some of the greatest players to ever play the game. Peter Canavan may well be the best ever. There is no way that Dublin would have won 6 in a row, nor anywhere close, if that Tyrone team arrived at the same time.

The win on Saturday was special because of the respect we have for Tyrone. Sport is a lot about rivalry and should have nothing to do with hatred. If there is hatred in your heart keep away and find another hobby. Be the first to congratulate the winner and console the loser. A year is a very short time in sport, cherish the wins and don't get too down about the defeats. Tyrone will be back, Darragh and Ruairi Canavan as special players and Tyrone are recent U20 winners .

I don't hate anybody lol but I'll call a spade a spade and in the most recent case the behaviour of the O'Shea brothers at the weekend was unacceptable.

All good craic...it's part of the game

Very disappointed in the performance on Saturday.
We always seem to have those flat performances in us and we seem to be waiting for someone else to be a game changer (particulary around the middle .

Myler did as good as anyone has on P Clifford.
Surprised R Canavan was hooked.
McShane still looks off the pace.

Overall Kerry were much the superior team but we let them play - I would have loved to have seen how they reacted if we had a right cut at them.
They matched fire with fire and that seemed to put us off.

CP was full of pissheads on Saturday - one county seemed to have the majority of them but then again that may have been because they had the majority of supporters there. No county can claim to be angels here mind you.

It is a major problem for cship games - stewards need to start refusing permission

Not half as drunk as you writing this post lol

said earlier in the week it was a game too soon for tyrone. they looked knackered. not remotely at the pitch.

They were simply hammered all over the pitch by a better team on the day.

Tyrone had no answers today in terms of slick football being played against them. Kerry better all over the pitch in a powerpacked performance. Some of the Kerry passing & movement was a joy to watch and could have had another 3 goals easily.

Bryson is dumb as a rock if he wants the whole of the UK to vote.

Kelleher looked a bit short of match sharpness, understandably. At least two of those goals Alisson would have saved in his sleep.

Kelleher is a poor keeper.

"Hey Willie it's Sean here, can ya do me a favour for 5 grand"

"No probs Sean, I'll sort that out"

How does Willie know Sean to start with is whats being asked...

This isn't new stuff, Lenny Murphy was set up by his own and a loyalist gun used while the UDA commander sat in republican pub..

When it suits these guys are good at sorting themselves out, not difficult to know or get them to do work for themselves

All about the money...

I move O:Shea to cornerforward, he's a good scorer but been bad a few yrs now.

Or maybe full-forward, if it doesn't work then he must be dropped as he is bringing nothing other than frees & 45s which he is missing more off since 2019.

Good display by Mayo & McStay on the line. Kerry have no midfield and have a vastly overrated player in Sean o Shea, good free taker but is a passenger mostly in games. No intensity or momentum in that Kerry side, take out D Clifford and you have a poor side.

Hard to call this one 50/50 really.

America has been a bad soap opera since Vietnam. All facets of society has gotten worse despite Wars on everything ie poverty, drugs, crime, terrorism. homelessness etc. It is now a trash can society.

What sort of small minded mentality must they have to worship billionaires who look down on them from priceless golden thrones while people are starving on the streets? I'll honestly never get it.

It boggles the mind alright.

For sure....
Nearly as bad as there being a 21 page thread about them on the gaaboard...
