McMenamins actions towards Galvin was unacceptable, there is no doubt about that. He cant complain if gets suspended from it. Still don't think there was any need for the personal attacks and language used towards him on a gaa forum. Not too bothered about his mouthing on the pitch, doesnt do anyone any harm and in some cases you can actually see the opposition laughing. Guys like Cooper are well able to mouth back at him. He always gives a 100% on the pitch and off the pitch puts a lot back into the gaa. He does need to look at some of his actions though and realise when he's crossing the line.

Watched the 2nd half. Some off the stuff posted by Armagh supporters earlier in the thread about Jordan is nonsenes and laughable unless the "dives" took place in the 1st half. Jordan was excellent in the 2nd half. He likes to run the ball and this can result in him being pulled down. Today he won 4 free's in the 2nd half and there is no evidence from the tv footage that in any one of these occasions he dived. All four looked like clear fouls.

McGinley is a machine and hugely important to Tyrone. Hub still has something to offer to Tyrone but shouldnt be allowed to shoot. There was a period in the 2nd half when Tyrone still could have got something from the game. At a crucial time though McCullagh missed an easy free and gave away possesion on Kerry's 21 cheaply. The ref also missed a clear foul on Harte which resulted in a Kerry point. We missed O'Neill today and hopefully for his and Tyrone's sake his knee injury isnt bad. Tyrone got a great backing from the crowd in the 2nd half today and after the game.

at last someone with a balanced view of todays game instead getting up on their high horse abou certain players/incidents

What would we do without McGinley?  He gives it 100% every time, every ball.  

Thought he and Philip Jordan were outstanding like most Tyronies on here.  

Young Cassidy was doing well in the second half up in the forward line - seemed to pull up injured?  

jordan was immense today, thought mcginnley had a poor first half by his standards, but much better after the break like everyone else.
cassidy was taken off with a injury to his quad, was doing rightly up to  that

a long list of stuff, broken fingers/ribs/cheek bone, numerous stitches,knee cartiledge surgery, several hammy tears and dead legs and a couple of concussions,and put both my shoulder and elbow out but def the worst was dislocated both thumbs and got two pins in one of them.very painful and could do bugger all for months when in cast after the op.
reading through the posts the thumbs seem to be a common one

[so after they clap Tyrone out on to the field]

Anyone believeing Kerry are travelling up the road with Valentines Cards this Sunday need to think again.  Kerry want 2 points, bitter revenge, and self assurance so after they clap Tyrone out on to the field they will want to measure themselves against the team of the decade.  The Kerry animal has been caged from September,  expect to see it on Sunday.   Twould be interesting to note that in the incident during the AIF at half time Kerry would have lost the services of Dara o Se and was it star?, under the new rules asnd ultimately the game would have been over earlier.  Last year they were an undisciplined rabble under a poor enough manager, if anything JOC who I believe is an excellent if slightly bitchy manager will promote a higher  degree of discipline within the camp - I thin k it will work if things go right but my fear for Kerry football is if things go wrong he shouldnt bitch at the O ses and the county board and the Northern teams.  All the old ugly faces will be back over the course of 09 for both camps.  This game is another teaser for the rest of the season.  Both counties will give it all  in August... and they are that feckin ignorant they will go again on Sunday

It is unfortunate that the standard bearers of Gaelic football have to clap fellas like Gormley and "w**ker sign" Mulligan onto the field. It demeans the whole custom really.

Yeah obviously Kerry should be exempt from having to do this   

THIS'LL DO

Apart from Round 1 (5th April), any other provisional dates set for the first few rounds?

An email from a couple of months ago listed the following....

TUES 14 April (Easter Tues)   Rd 2

SUN 19 April            Rd 3

SUN 26 APRIL         Rd 4

Actually, there are a few provisional updates to this.

30 April - 3 May: IFC/JFC Championship (County players only)

15/17 May: SFL/IFL R6 JFL R7

23/24 May: SFC/IFC (non county players)
SFL/IFL R7 JFL R8

30 May: League Cup

After this depends on Tyrone except

25-28 June: JFC (non county players)

TEAMS WOULD NEEDA HIT THE GROUND RUNNING THIS YEAR THEN WITH MAYBE ONLY 4 LEAGUE GAMES BEFORE THE CHAMPIONSHIP.HOPEFULLY IT WILL MEAN THE FOOTBALL WOULDNT DRAG ON INTO NOVEMBER DECEMBER LIKE OTHER YEARS

Bit suprised at the fact that there are no changes apart from goalkeeper. We've a strong enough panel at minute and thought Harte would have made a few changes each game. Look forward to seeing the forward line in action again and in particular the full forward line. Probably would have preferred PJ to McGee but Harte is probably rewarding McGee for effort this last few years with little games.

suppose he wants another good look at some of the boys that did well against dublin, cause when
dooher/gormley/b.mcguigan come back  theres gonna be serious competition for places

Who are the six English players who have all cost over 7 million each but have never been capped by England?

Did Collymore ever play for England?

2 England Caps, however "dogged" with injury !!

Anton Ferdinand, Dean Richards, Kevin Davies, Nigel ReoCoker, Curtis Davies, Carl Cort  and James Milner.

f I remeber correctly this question needed a 3-4-3 formation, unless you can count Roy in defence.

well roy did play at centre back for ireland,so 4-4-2 is possible
suppose thats part of the trick in the question
