Welcome home Michael.

TNT commentator was building up David McGoldrick coming on like it was Mpabbe.

Ulster Schools Facebook post was at 6.20pm for the postponement. 

Thought Fletcher would have got the new manager bounce especially as he got the blessing of Sir Alex.

Alex Ferguson won 38 trophies when he was in the Old Trafford hot seat so his opinion matters.

And thee was no busier pundit than Shay. Every channel including Sky seemed to have him on. The gigs can end very quickly after an incident.

Omagh CBS seem to have great pedigree and the training must be tailored to peak for Jan / Feb.
Pre-Christmas they weren't standing out hugely.

[a bunch of Tyrone trialists]

Armagh playing their full hand to hammer a bunch of Tyrone trialists and squad players but still getting beat is very funny.

Ah yes a competition that gives youngsters like Mattie Donnelly,Darren McCurry a chance. 

Armagh should gain revenge in the upcoming division one campaign against Tyrone,  oh wait...

Don't think we will see another team relegated on 7 points in our lifetime like Tyrone 2025. Armagh were also on 7.

McGlennan solid when came on, lots of link-up play. A very sound performance all round.

Nancy the master. 

Game over . Arsenal top of league for Christmas Day.

And when you are top at Christmas Day, you usually win it. That's the stat isn't it.

Most Omagh people will tell you that the CBS catchment area has also reduced e.g. no Errigal men, a tiny smattering of Carrickmore.

This is offset somewhat by Trillick kids going to Omagh now rather than Enniskillen. But it's an achievement that the school have remained competitive at Ulster level.

Bit like Amorim at United, very ingrained ideas of the way football has to be played. You'd wonder are they picking this up from the UEFA coaching badge courses. Nancy is throwing away a decent career opportunity here. 

I don't fancy Nancy to get a result at Pittodrie tonight.

Mbeumo, Shaw and Amad off to the AFCON now so the squad is spread thinner over the festive season.

Can't imagine the McKenna Cup brings in much money. A good way to bring new players into inter-county football and as said much better than in-house games.

It's been estimated that the decision to scrap the McKenna Cup last year cost the Ulster Council in the region of €340,000

Likely Tyrone support was the highest proportion of that figure.
