General discussion / Re: Freshers Week- Belfast!
September 24, 2007, 03:41:35 PM
I'd say the POA for this week would go along the lines of:

Monday: Renshaws/Hat all day, carry-out, Karma
Tuesday: Renshaws/Hat all day, carry-out, Hatfield for the Rapparees
Wednesday: Renshaws/Hat all day, carry-out, bot
Thursday, same as above

Throw in a few breakfasts in Helens and you're sorted.

I believe Renshaws have done away with 3 for £5.

BTW, the Hatfield now have Tennents on draught. Can be good some times, hit and miss.

I think the Hatfields pints have went downhill over the last 3/4 years.

Because it's all about what you do on a given day that counts, the footballing sages amongst us would insist that nothing is ever certain when championships come down to the semi-finals stage. And former Tyrone assistant manager Sean Canavan feels it's no different this time, apart from the obvious.
"Blue is unquestionably the colour that will be represented with distinction in the final, but that's about it as far as predicting with any degree of certainty is concerned" says the Stewartstown-based Ardboe man, the current captain of Killymoon Golf Club.
Regarded as a master tactician and very astute assessor of a team's strengths and weaknesses, Canavan agreed to put his head on the chopping block and endeavour to come up with the answers to two very tricky contests at the penultimate stage of our top tournament.

Let me say straight away that, for me as with most people I suspect, it will be a major surprise if Dromore do not progress to the decider – although many of the members of my golf club won't like me for saying that.
But the simple fact is that, whereas it's very obviously new territory for these talented Fr.Rocks players, the bulk of the St.Dympnas men have been down this road more than once before and there is often no substitute for experience in these big stage situations.
Everywhere you look in the Dromore side you see guys who've been there and done it, to a degree at any rate, and they'll view this as their chance to win a title that has evaded them for so long – despite knocking on the door quite a few times.
With Errigal Ciaran and Carrickmore out of the way, they'll believe that their name is perhaps on the cup. They'd need to keep such thoughts in perspective, of course, because it would be dangerous to lose the run of themselves. But I'm sure Noel McGinn will ensure that doesn't happen.
Cookstown are not without a chance and will relish being written off yet again by the pundits. They are a supremely gifted group of players but I fear they may just lack the experience. They have a couple of players who are regarded as talismen, but I'm not sure if they'll do it in a Healy Park cauldron.
Raymond Mulgrew is going to be a star player for Tyrone for many years but I don't think he has yet produced his best for his club; while Owen Mulligan, if he plays, hasnot set the world alight either. For example, against Ardboe all he did was score a goal.
Now, if they were to click on the same night... especially as the Dromore defence is perhaps not their strongest asset.
Times Tip – Dromore

The other one clearly looks a bit harder to call, but let me dive in straight off and say that I believe Coalisland will not only defeat Donaghmore, but will also go on to win the final.
I've been convinced of that ever since they lost to Errigal last year. Indeed, I'm sure the Fianna men would've won the title in 2006 had they beaten the Ballygawley men that day, which they really should have done.
They had the hard bit done when Pascal Canavan hit Peter Donnelly and they all lost their discipline. I'm not saying that was the whole idea but that's how it worked out, the older
experienced heads on the Errigal shoulders grabbing victory from what should have been inevitable defeat.
But I'm absolutely sure Coalisland have learned from that and will be stronger and wiser for it. I feel they are the most talented group of players anywhere in the county and suspect their time has come.
They will be put to a severe test by a Donaghmore team who were given a severe physical examination by Errigal Ciaran and came through it, not once but twice. They had the first game in their grasp when it was unfortunately abandoned, albeit for very good reason.
A lot of smart observers felt their chance had slipped by and didn't expect them to reproduce their form in the second clash, but they did and got their reward. They have potential matchwinners in a number of positions and are serious title contenders, but I just feel it's going to be Coalisland's year.
Times Tip - Coalisland

Anyone know anywhere in and around Belfast I could get one?

All help appreciated.

Heading down to croker on Sat for the Tyrone/Meath and Cork/Sligo game.

Staying with a a couple of friends out in Clontarf. Hope to park up the car and get the bus into Croker, watch the games and then hit the big tree, quinns etc.

Thinking of heading to Coppers that night.

Was wondering can you get into coppers with the football jersey polo shirt on or will I have to go back out to clontarf to change?

If any of youse were in coopers last sat nite could you get in with the county jersey on?

Was listening to Micheal on RTE commenting on the Cork v Waterford game a couple of weeks ago.

Just wondering why he kept referring to Murphy as 'the hero'

O'Neill's Sportswear Tyrone ACL Fixtures for the coming weekend and for the following Friday night.

The fixtures which are scheduled for the following Friday night are Senior games only and the reason for Friday night is to accomodate the Omagh CBS and Tyrone Vocational Schools teams who are both playing in All Ireland finals this Sunday.

If two clubs are in agreement and wish to play their game earlier than Friday 27th April then they should contact Adult Fixtures Secretary Cathal Daly as soon as possible.

Best wishes to Omagh CBS and Tyrone Vocational Schools in their bid to lift All Ireland titles.
