I'm certainly not in favour of getting rid of mickey Harte. Tyrone championship has been cheaper than Armagh for most games. I think they should have dropped the price to 10 pound but can see why it had to be played on Sunday.

You could've got into the ground last Sunday for £10 and I'm sure it will be the same this Sunday

[Serious verbal abuse of the match official and then targeting an Ardboe official in the tunnel.]

I thought our management behaved impeccably yesterday.

Therein lies the problem.
When players have problems with each other things get sorted fairly easily. When linesmen, umpires or mentors decide to get involved then players really lose the plot and rightly so.
For Jeremiah/Uncle Kev/Sunny Day and the rest of the split personalities to think its ok for management to come onto the field and throw punches then we're all in trouble.
If Ardboe get to the championship quarters against Dromore (no disrespect intended to Dromores 1st round opponents) i image they'll show the same kind of heart they showed in last years game.

Some carry on the Omagh officials were at after the game.Serious verbal abuse of the match official and then targeting an Ardboe official in the tunnel.Shouldn't be surprised though,sure it's not that long ago that a Cookstown Fr Rocks juvenille was assaulted in the tunnel by the Omagh men.It's time the county board dealt with Omagh,this can't continue.
I hope Omagh themselves sort out that umpire at the bottom goals.A boy like that shouldn't be let near a football field.Instead of yapping about Ardboe get your own house in order first

lol what a statement from an Ardboe man, serious abuse of a match official. You lads are well known for the respect yous show to officials, county board or otherwise.
Credit where it is due however to your wee baldy lad on the line. He coulda picked a smaller man to receive a box in the jaw from 
Anyways, not much actually happened so i'll bring this conversation to an end... (i bet its not though)

So you're giving out about Ardboe behaviour but revelling in the fact that our manager got struck.Trying to figure that one out!!!
Anyway best of luck for the rest of the season and sure we'll look forward to giving you boys a nice Loughshore welcome again next season.

see you then...
We'll hardly see yous in the championship though 

Can't see it,fancy the Rahillys myself.

lol, can't argue with that

Right fellas/girls handbags down and shake hands 

That's why it's not a black card for me. I didn't see anything that would suggest it was deliberate, it might have been but unless you're 100% sure then you can't issue a card that ends a man's game.

In that case, the "late" tackle which occurs right after the release of the ball needs to be taken out of the list of offenses for black cards. Because how is anyone ever going to know someone's intent for sure? If intent, no matter how briefly considered, is the issue, and not the action.

I don't think there's any mention of 'right after the release' in the rules so I don't see why it should be taken out. For all the giving out about the black card it has been very successful if removing from the game the blatant taking out of the man after he passes and goes to get a return.

Right, but the Donnelly one WAS a case of a collision right after McHugh had released the ball. As was the one where Murphy and McCann collided in the second half, albeit Murphy had even less time to avoid it.

Where do you draw the line?

Is it a case of where the defender alters his run to block the attacker from going around him? Its not always so clear cut, especially with one look in real time. The defender could claim his altered his direction or twisted his body to protect himself from the oncoming attacker, not to block the run. IF deliberation is a factor...

It must be deliberate J70 and for me the ref must be sure to issue the black card. He couldn't have been sure about Donnelly so he shouldn't have issued the card. I think the way both me went to ground probably was a factor in that it was quite a big collision and as far as I know it was the linesman who made Coldrick aware that it might have merited a black card. Most rules in the GAA are open to interpretation and while this leads to inconsistencies it also allows a good referee the scope to use a bit of common sense. I didn't notice Donnelly change his line of movement to block McHugh and he didn't turn his shoulder into McHugh either so for me, it wasn't a black card.

If Donnellys intention was to block the run he would have instinctively done one of 2 things.

1. Put his hands out in front to protect himself
2. Turned his shoulder into him again protecting himself

He did neither and was off the ground trying to block the pass with his hands up. Never a black card although i can see why it was given and the ref had a replay decision would have been different as the block was not deliberate.

If the roles had of been reversed Mathew donnelly would still have got a black card the same way Conor Meyler did against Monaghan

Rather than complaining about it I'd like to thank the young Donegal player who banged into sean Cavanagh (from behind) as sean ran to his position at the start of the second half. Sean classy as he is gave the perfect response.

who played? I was at Omagh-Dromore game and didnt see any playing?
2 very second string teams on show tbh, neither side close to what they will field in chamopinship I would think.

I see some/ all the Tyrone lads played last night for their club? How does that work? I thought this was a starred round?

Definitely no tyrone players Norf

Every GAA club now should have a children's officer as indeed every county should have a children's officer too. These positions are not elected but appointed by each club and county. It's the clubs children's officers role to help the club introduce a child centred ethos. Below is a GAA leaflet about the role of each:

http://manowargfc.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Childrens-Officer-Leaflet-GAA.pdf


The GAA have a code of practice called "our games - our code. code of best practice in youth sport". Every club is signed up to this.

Contact the county children's officer for advice if your club is not operating these systems.

Here is a GAA video on go-games below. There is plenty of literature on the internet about the GAA and go-games

Erm, lads, remember Armagh 2014. Keep yer powder dry for a while.

We're only trying get a rise from the Derry wans. Not a bite though. Is there a sports psychologist advising the Derry posters on here.

Video: See all 5 goals from Derry-Tyrone this afternoon..

First class any craic and more importantly an online boost for Derry  Pity they lost the game 1-16 to 4-6. That first penalty looked generous too 

Jeez lads youse are wile precious! Never mind the semantics, the point is that the video went round everywhere yesterday.

Maybe you should change your name to "no craic" then 

"Going viral" is pushing it

I liked the "and Antrim wouldn't be getting the boost online today"

The man from ramelton (home of thr football special)

I met Mickey Harte today.  He said "Hello ZIGGY". I guess that means he reads the GAA Board

Has to keep on the right side of the mods 

If you google PPI reclaims Martin Lewis or Which magazines have template letters to send. Try this first before giving any of the reclaim companies a quarter of what you are due. Can be worth a try.

A long term project where you apply to the banks, they rule you out, then you go to financial ombudsman, they rule informally in your favour, the banks stretch it out with lesser offers, more evidence, more time asked for. The ombudsman string along with this (as they have thousands to deal with) and may eventually refer it formally to the ombudsman decision makers. I think it's a tactic by the banks to slow the whole process so they can stretch their liabilities over a longer period. Only thing is if it's ruled in your favour years later it's expected the banks give you an interest rate for all the Tim you have been waiting

No reason to be paranoid of me, I just post nonsense.

Three years later and nothing much has changed .............

[They got to an U14 Grade 1 final 2 years ago with vast majority of those players so should never have been allowed to drop a grade.]

Funny you should mention that - I see they did the u16 double this year in grade 2 - congrats to the lads involved but should a club with the pick they have not be automatically grade 1?

I do agree. I'm confident they've put their teams in lower grades to ensure that they win titles. There U16 Lads definitely should have been Grade 1- just look at how easily they won in the finals. The Girls also easily beat Owen Roes in their final.

There's nothing worse than when any Club does that. It means that Club's who are in the correct grade dont get a chance and the players don't develop because they only play easy games.

Yes grades are there to give everyone a fair shot at a title. I don't know the exact figures but did Omagh not win 4/5 U16 grade 1 titles in a row or something? I know its not the same players but it does illustrate their strength and I just hope they didn't think to themselves this year that they couldn't win G1 so they would drop to G2 and clean up!

That's exactly what their thinking was. They got to an U14 Grade 1 final 2 years ago with vast majority of those players so should never have been allowed to drop a grade.

Terrible stuff but not shocked. I'd much rather have my Club's players challenged and develop than just get easy wins every week.

Sorry to interrupt this omagh hate fest but that is simply not true.

How do you know ose is really from omagh. I think he's a WUM and if so you posters have been led by the nose

England vs W Germany WC final 1966. Complete fluke on home soil underpinned by the fact they haven't won as much as a saucepan since!

Wouldn't agree. 4 years later they were almost as good as the side which many claim as the best to have won it. And in the World Cup in '62 they were unlucky to meet Brazil in the quarters and Garrincha.

That 62-70 side were world class.
