EC Unique I urge you to delete your previous post , it is despicable.Only a few days earlier the guy has won a championship and you feel it is appropriate to scandalise on a GAA message board.This attitude is disgusting .How you can do that is beyond me?
You might think you are being smart and clever but it is downright gutter stuff get a grip of yourself.

When talking about the relevant strength of club sides using the last 5 years is a very good guide.
Whether Carmen had periods of dominance or Errigal had periods of dominance the facts are now the standards of these clubs have fallen back and one wonders why a once dominant club like Carmen is now in the doldrums and a new club like Errigal couldn't fulfil its early promise only those involved can answer.
Only Carmen people know what is going on , for example how much has been paid out to coaches or managers these last 5 years ?Maybe zero ,I don't know but it would be interesting to know from those close what has happened to a once strong championship club?

Tyrone 86 as a matter of fact Errigal were not , if you want to deal in facts Errigal have 2 championships in the last 11 years .
Dealing with facts again Errigal have not been in a senior football championship final in the last 5 years.
Dromore are the benchmark.

Dromore top side in last decade based upon facts.They have been in 4 out of the last 5 finals winning 3 and losing one by a point after extra time.
Carrickmore for example have won 2 out of the last 10 .Carmen in the last 5 years have reached one final losing it to Coalisland.
Overall in the last 10 years Dromore have won most titles too !!!!

Summary Clonoe haven't got the quality to win a championship , this year things fell right for them in the championship , beating  a weak Trillick side by 2 points , then meeting a Carmen side that could consider themselves very unlucky they had to peak for Errigal game and should have beaten Clonoe and then after replay Clonoe go through.Then in the semi final they meet Derrylaughan team who are more an intermediate team than a senior side and then they are in the final.They looked laboured and tired yesterday and in all seriousness Dromore should have beaten them out the park only for 2 lucky goals.Clonoe went all out for the league and are a very workman like side but in no way a quality side and it is interesting that their 3 losses in the league were to Errigal ,Carmen and Dromore .This would confirm to me they are a top 5 side but no way top 3.

Great game yesterday and delighted for Dromore to win to make up for 2008.Top side in Tyrone over the last decade and more to come .Clonoe tried hard but the class in Dromore told in the end.Clonoe were a tired team I felt and might just be the end of them.They are workman like but really I felt Dromore could up it at any stage , delighted for Dromore and just rewards for the consistent effort over the last few years.

I think with the open spaces of Croke Park it is ideally a venue for a very convincing win for us .

The poll has now closed.
Philip Jordan has been selected as Best all-time Defender in Tyrone .

The Moy seem to be at last showing a bit of attitude. Last night there could have been a few more  sending offs than the 4.Another battle field game with fist fights breaking out all over, goalkeepers also out at the 50m line from their own nets and they weren't taking free kicks !It should have been ten point win for The Moy .Summer is here !

I am sick of people knocking Dooher he is there on merit.His fitness levels are as good as ever and his mere presence is uplifting, Mickey picks on merit.Dooher will have a stormer on Sunday and it is a pity about Justy but we will beat Donegal.They, Donegal talk too much and they read too much about the latest fad.Just a pity they spend their time downgrading previous regimes in Donegal just to try and tell everyone how smart they are now .We will see come Sunday.Tyrone by 6 or more !

I think the form team has been picked according to insiders except Hub who has a tight hamstring.I hope we can get a good start and then hopefully give a run to some of the younger ones , but by no means will Monaghan be easy.I have been a big fan of Mark Donnelly for a while and delighted he is starting and obviously Mickey is picking on form.
