Great result today, sets us up nicely for a real go at getting back to Division 1! That would be some achievement! Fair play to all involved in restoring pride.

Composed, comfortable, well-organised victory - could have won by 12-15 points.  Chrissy superb, Brendan and Odhrán really excellent - some of the counter-attacking at pace was great to see. Created 5 goal chances -will need to convert more in tighter games. More consistency needed from Emmet Bradley and Loughlin but overall a great win in difficult conditions. Doire abú!

Good luck to Doire tomorrow. A very settled line-out which builds great team play and confidence. Still have to go out and perform but another win would almost ensure Div 2 status. Get out and support -Doire abú!

Can we beat Cork?  Would give a great boost to the team for the Galway, Roscommon and Clare games, never mind Meath away either :-)
Yes! Cork very beatable in February, different proposition in summer! 3 from 3 in Division 2 would be some start - and achievable. Games will get tougher after that, as you would expect.

Tohill has to prove himself both in training and in game time. Having only seen the latter, safe to say that he has not made an impression - as yet!  Wish he would and I am sure Gallagher wishes the same!  Main thing is picking up 2 more league points v Uíbh Fhailí.

Comfortably win, but the way we play has a ceiling. There is no kicking of the ball into the attack. That means keeping two players up front for that option. This is Tyrone football under Harte and it has had its day. Delighted to see us progressing again, but Gallagher has his limits.
Players have their limits too. Tyrone football under Harte won 3 All-Irelands. We were in Div 4. Gallagher is doing a great job with the talent he has. The players he has have a ceiling. How many class forwards do we have? Let us not fool ourselves. Doire can at least now game-manage a lead.  But if we are looking for open football, time to go back to Div 4.

Steelstown are the toast of Derry and Ulster. The maturity and spirit they showed after the very harsh sending off was outstanding. The days of playing against the ref as well should be long gone. Now for the biggest day ever in their short history and in Croke Park. It will be a very proud day for Brian Óg's family and the whole of the county but especially the Gaels of the city. They deserve all our support.

Asking if they will score 7 points in a game where they had only scored 1 in half of it a cheap shot......

Headers everywhere  ::)
Ag caint le duine éigin eile?!  It was a cheap shot at half time in an Ulster final. Done now, live with it nó go dtí an diabhail leat.

Bíodh splanc chéille agat. Leathdhuine drabhlásach.

On to more important matters, congrats to Steelstown on a very deserved victory. Great boost for the Gaels of the city who were out in force today.  They probably should have been ahead at first water break in second half - McCarron's lack of accuracy could have cost them. Showed great resolve to get over the line and maturity with such a young team. Honestly feel sorry for any Moortown player who wanted to win an Ulster medal today and was prevented from playing football when it mattered - by a 'style' of play that was never going to be successful on the day.

Glen pitch very poor few weeks back at camogie final. Steelstown to win by 7. Congratulations Banagher!
Will they even score 7 points ffs?

What a half  ::)
It was a cheap shot at half time in a match - also knowing that Steelstown scored 5-13 the last day out.
Think some need to learn what sour grapes and cheap shot actually mean 😃
He was right. They didnt even score 7 points. And a half of football which ends 3 1 wont go down as a classic.
Steelstown wont give a fiddlers. Well done to them great to see.
It was a cheap shot - at half time in a brutal match, mainly the making of Moortown. Steelstown scored 5-13 last day so go work it out.

Managers promoting that style of fball should be jettisoned. There for the money and not promoting the game.That's why am glad Jim McGuinness not involved in the Gaa any more. I remember 30yrs ago when Moortown had a football team. They 44 players stripped there today, and the reason they at intermediate is playing that shit.
Totally agree.

Doesn't matter. They won.well done . Sour grapes
I'm not sure how a post at half-time when Steelstown were 3-1 down could be considered sour grapes.
Nor why I, as someone from neither club nor representative county, would have sour grapes about Steelstown beating Moortown.

But there you are..... ::)
Was a cheap shot though - knowing that Moortown had parked 2 busses and came not to lose, rather than to win.

Good luck to Baile Stíl in Ulster final tomorrow - now at An Abhainn Bheag, not Glen.
