England really on the ropes here. How are they only one down?

That's all we need. With your tendency to constantly put your foot in your mouth they'll most likely now win by about 3

People are very quick to label people who question any situation regarding anyone foreign a racist these days...

I would however say these people know nothing about his points, where anyone is in any queue etc etc. Why have they got any moral high ground would be another question?

But what is it then when someone is victimised by a local mob specifically because they are not local or of the same race as the locals?

My point was that if he had been a Catholic of the same race or a Pole or Romanian he would have got the same reception. It is not specifically racism or sectarianism or Xenophobia. It is just plain intolerance of anyone who is not them.

His colour only meant he was identified quicker and he got a pre-warning rather than a brick through the window after he moved in.

That's the situation in a nutshell

It wouldn't be a free house, he would have to pay rent

Spain in deep trouble now. Torres has come on

Now that Tyrone have followed United into the 'We're back to being shite' category, life can't be much fun in Chez Unique

If I had my way I'd ban every African team from the tournament. Their negative tactics are just too hard to watch

Strong Tyrone team. Will be surprised if they don't win handy enough

Brilliant. I love the way you leave yourself so wide open

Some awful decisions in that match. I don't think much of this Brazil team

2019 Open coming to the occupied 6

Shows the hypocrites they are. Hopefully your post will shut them up

My final point, what is the technical term for the pre parade event onSunday, was it a melee, a shamozzle, a brawl or a free for all?

As someone who was at the Match yesterday, had the Band Member had the Flag in the correct place to begin with or moved the flag when she was asked by both McKeever and her band colleague the problem would not have arose. Cavan ran in and started throwing their weight around and the talk before the match with Cavan supporters was that Dunne was not starting anyway???  Coincidentally Brendan Donaghy received stitches to a head wound immediately after the brawl, he must have hit himself!  It ironic that most of the posts that are disgusted by what happened are from Tyronies, the same ones who nearly blinded Brian McGuigan at a club match and the same Team who would dive and feign injury to get anyone sent off!  Only good thing that can come out of this is that this will hopefully end the Fermanagh Band parading around at Ulster matches!

Probably the best post on this thread. I too hope that the Fermanagh Band never darkens the door of the Athletic Grounds again. I wonder how much they have to get for playing at matches

There's barely a cavan supporter commenting here!

You're correct there. The other thing is that most of them weren't even at the game

Were you at the game??? There was a large Cavan support there I can tell you. We didnt have much to shout about that is all. If you go back to these pages before the match you'll find there was a conversation going on about how few Armagh fans were even commenting on the match but now ye are all coming out of the woodwork.

Anway. The fight has been well covered but my take on it is Armagh intentionally went to the wrong flag. Ye have form for messing in a parade, McGeeney himself was on a Armagh team that was at the same shite in Clones against Cavan on 02 or 03. Cavan seen the position that Armagh stood in as a challenge and ran into them and the rest you can see. Ironically Cavan won this psychological battle as Armagh had to move and Cavan held the early lead. But that was as good as it got for us. We were terrible. Armagh played 13 men behind the ball (what happened to Grimleys attacking philosophy) but to be honest I was expecting it. Seems to have taken Cavan management by surprise as we didnt have a clue. Our kickouts and runs for kickouts were as bad as I've seen in a long time from any team and only our Full Back line held their own. Armagh should have won that game by 15 points and they will be worried about their misses. People say Jamie Clarke played well, In my opinion he did only ok as he was very wasteful.
With all the chat about the fight another thing was missed and that was  the performance of the referree Marty Duffy. Let me start by saying he in no way effected the outcome as Armagh were clearly miles better but he did show all that is wrong with new rules as he was completely incapable of implementing the rules. Here are some examples and I am sorry they are mostly Cavan ones but those stick in my mind more.

1- McKeever should have been given black card on 3 occassions. The last one he charged into Mackey with his fists up. Duffy pointed at him indicating he saw it and then gave him a yellow. Pathetic cowardly decision.
2- Half time scuffle. Keating missed a poor free. His marker runs over to him and starts mouthing into his ear. That is a black card offence. Keating enraged runs after him and charges into him and he gets the yellow.
3- Armagh get advantage, as the Armagh player pulls the trigger Duffy pulls him back for the free. Ball goes over the bar and the free is put wide.
4- 2nd half he throws up the ball and watches the Armagh midfielder bear hug Gearoid McKiernan 3 yards in front of him and then allows armagh run up  the field unpunished to score a point.
5- He follows  that up by giving Armagh a 45 which no one else on the pitch or in the ground could see.
6- When the game is over and there is nothing at stake, Marty decides he'll hand out the black card. Coward.

I am not saying he was biased to cavan, he is just absolutley diabolical ref that should be retired asap.

Best of luck to Armagh in the next round, ye will give Tyrone lots of it.

I'd just like to finish by saying I have never seen so many sober Armagh people in one place in my life. Surely a record.

My comment was aimed at non Cavan posters on this thread. I was at the match, on the terrace close to the melee. There were a number of Cavan people round me and they were all dead on.  I have no axe to grind with Cavan folk
