All slagging aside, I was delighted for Tyronies everywhere when you finally won Sam. I'd say most GAA fans everywhere felt the same. 'Tis said that God loves a trier and he, whoever he is, must have relented a bit to let Peter Canavan finally get his hands on a Celtic Cross.
Tyrone had certainly been trying hard for many years and never lost hope.
I'd say Tyrone followers must have felt every bit as sick after the '95 final as we were after the '96 one. Like us, you shower have had a lot more dinner times than dinners but you did nail Sam in the end.
Tyrone were very popular winners and the fact that they beat Kerry along the way earned them even more respect. Stuff Pat Spillane and his "Puke Football;" it was the moaning of a sore loser.
The fact is that Armagh supporters were starting to give everyone outside their county a bit of a pain in the arse.
Tony Fearons, every last one of them!
Fair enough, it took Tyrone followers a bit longer to start blowing their coal but when they did, they sure did it in style. The controversy over the selection of the team of the decade did them no favours either.
Anyone who thinks I'm piss-taking can use the search function on this board and check out some of the threads around '09/'10 and see if I'm on a windup or not.
Like Armagh after 2002 or Clare hurlers in the mid-90s, neutral support began to wane fast.
If 99.5% of the rest of the country are hoping for Mayo win, it isn't because they all like Aidan O'Shea's haircut.
FFS, lenny says Tyrone is awash with hype and nobody has yet written in to deny this. A couple of Donegal folk who pass through the county regularly tell me the place is awash with hype and arrogance. I've no problem at all with that; why not have a bit of craic whenever we can?
But, you'd think going by the moaning going on here that Mayo have a patent on the art of begrudgery.
I think Mayo will win but if they're beaten fair and square, I'll wish Tyrone good luck for the final. I feel most Mayo heads feel the same way and I haven't come across any remotely serious post here that claims Mayo will annihilate Tyrone.
So what's the caterwauling going on here all about

If ever a player got his comeuppance.
I see you hail from Mr Brollys County.....an seems your also a little jealous of the "rattle" of Conors Celtic Crosses in his pocket!
Love to know what you think your Derry nos 5 or 6 from 1993 would have done in Sean Cavanaghs situation or even Conor Gormleys?
I will reserve judgement on the issue when we see the stats on the CCC's usage of Video evidence and how many have been punished or escaped.
Id say Tyrones "friends" in the RTE just couldnt wait to hand over the video to the CCC, considering theres little communication or co operation from the Tyrone GAA in relation to the media ban.

Does anyone know is the announcement today re Tyrone trials at minor level signify those that have made the cut to the 'next stage'? Only 1 North Tyrone club represented in the 100 players?
That can't be right? Can it! Especially considering that Strabane reached the grade 1 U16 final last year, and we reached a grade 2 final.
