[Which will probably become:]

Last days line-ups:

                              P McConnell

C Gormley,               Joe McMahon,                    D Carlin

R McMenamin,            Justin McMahon,                P Jordan
           
                 A Cassidy,         S Cavanagh

C Cavanagh                   B McGuigan,                P Harte

M Penrose                    M Donnelly                 K Coney.

Which will probably become:
                              P McConnell

  C Gormley,              Joe McMahon,                 R McMenamin,

d carlin,         Justin McMahon,                P Jordan.
           
                 A Cassidy,         Colm Cavanagh

Sean Cavanagh                   B McGuigan,                P Harte

M Penrose                    M Donnelly                 K Coney/SON     

I personally would like to see Coney wear 14 and Sparky in the corner.

Armagh likely:

                               1. Paul Hearty
2. Andy Mallon         3. Brendan Donaghy             4. Duffy 
5. Aaron Kernan          6. Kevin Dyas             7. Finnian Moriarity
              8. James Lavery            9. Charlie Vernon
10 Johnny Hanratty          11 Tony kernan          12. Malachy Mackin
13. Micheal O'Rourke         14. Steven McDonnell      15. Jamie Clarke


The tactics: Block shall take the dangerman Clarke. Sad to think that in 8 years of success we can't find a top class man-marking corner back but anyhow. Mackin usually moves in as a FF so Joe or possibly Justy will take him. Ricey shall follow Stevey out the pitch a la 2009. The remaining McMahon picks up TK and Carlin follow MOR. That leaves Jordan on Hanratty but I imagine Tyrone's 3 midfielders will mark Armagh's 3. Vernon and Sean will probably be kept parted. I would imagine P Harte will go to CHF where he played so well the last day. For that reason brian mc guigan could be dropped in favour of someone experienced in the wing forward role.

edit: could someone guess the armagh defence?

The height of tonight's rioting seems to be originating from mainly nationalist areas as opposed to the previous rioting from the loyalist side. Bit of one-up-manship perhaps? 

Why is Nationalsim/Republicanism so synonymous with Left wing politics? Both Nationalist parties in the North are socialist/liberal. If a nationalist/republican had a slightly more conservative political outlook they would find themselves completely unrepresented.

Because the Empire would have been perceived as Capitalist and right wing and Nationalists/Republicans assumed they must be the opposite.

Given the Brits were mainly heterosexual, it is surprising that we aren't all devout lesbians.

There probably was but given their outlook they all died off.

Transformers: too long. The robots are the best actors in it.

Nolan, McCrea & Donaldson are three according to idle internet speculation. No idea of the fourth, though Peter Robinson always looks like he's hiding something.

Betting on the fourth name as follows:

2/1 Ulick
5/1 ONeill
5/1 Fearon
9/1 Hardstation
1000/1 bar

I'll take Fearon at those odds.

As a Derry man, I find it very embarrassing with all the crying and whinging about venues. Clones is a great venue, with plenty of atmosphere, not like that run down dump in Belfast with stewards bossing you about as though you wre sh*t.
Sure our supporters even cry about our own home venue which is one of the best stadiums in Ulster. There are posters on here crying about  Clones who stayed at home for the Fermanagh game and watched kit on TV.
Rant over, get to Clones and support your county.

good one

TBH tyrone will probably play through this match well enough, pulling away in the second half you would imagine. Anyone else see somethingo else on the cards?

Don't like that team. Contains too many similarities with the teams that came up short against Dublin and Cork IMO. Invariably that team will change very little from now until the end of the championship either, unless we get beat and end up in the qualifiers. IMO The trudge through the qualifiers sorts the men from the boys, forms a teams spirit and whittles us down to our best 15 like it has done so for the past 5 AI champions. Without that experience I don't think we'll make it to CP in September.

I like the witness interview on the 9 o clock news. Skip to .55 secs on the "Garda probe into cork airport incident."

Great game. Can we get the GAA to issue a fatwah on sidearse?

edit: was poland's goal illegal, ie he threw it from hand to hand?

Armagh on a high
Armagh 1-1 Dyas point. Clarke goal. T kernan playing well.
Down 0-2 poland free clarke free.
