QuoteCant believe the punishments handed down by Tyrone ccc. The punishment we got a few weeks before now looks completely over the top even compared to what happened in sligo.

Why are you concerned about what suspensions were handed out by Tyrone CCC.

Any disciplinary matters arising from Tyrone ACL games will be dealt with by the Tyrone CCC

Trying to get club players suspended from another county smacks of jealousy because you don't have enough/any Sam Maguires of your own.

By the way, so as not to seem partisan I believe that Fermanagh will win something, sometime as a county (Probably female or cross gender, as the men don't seem to be able to rise to the occasion.)

What are you on about. It's a fair enough point he has made. Going by the reports, Rasharkin were probably dealt with justly. The same however could not be said for Dromore, and to a greater extent Carrickmore. But hey, what are you going to do. That's the way the Tyrone CCC have dealt with it.

No. 7 was seen striking McGuigan by the umpire. This was passed to the referee who decided to only issue a yellow card. I have no doubt this game will be reviewed and 7 will be suspended for the replay and quite possibly a few other players will be sweating.

Is this fact or opinion?

Well - the fact he was booked meant something happened

If this was indeed a fact surely striking a player would warrant a red card?

My point exactly. Why did the umpire say he struck and then the ref only gave a yellow card.

The whole games was littered with examples of players getting off with a tick when they should have got yellows. If the game was refereed the way it was in the opening half there would have been more than three players sent off. So many yellow cards were given out early that when it came to a foul the ref opened the book to check if that player had already received a yellow card. If it warrants a yellow card, give the yellow card. I understand the game might have been difficult to manage at times, but it must be done with consistency.

Easy to blame the referee but there's not much he can do when two teams are intent on playing as little football as possible. This is a sad indictment of club championship football in Tyrone and there will be very little football played in the remainder of the senior cship. A pure slugfest with the team coming out on top as the one who invariably get away with the most

Think that's a bit harsh. Both teams played football in the first half and a majority of the second half. I admit, at times, it wasn't of the highest standard but there was no negativity until the game approached injury time.

Thought that tonight was a poor standard, i really am starting to worry about the standard of tyrone football where it seems to be that 11 or 12 points will win you a game. would love to see a team come along which isnt obsessed with stopping the team by bringing a man back into defense, checking every run that a support runner makes and commit a serious amount of cynical fouling. Also the way we treat referees is a disgrace IMO O'hagan was OK tonight he made most of the important calls correctly in a highly charged game i.e definitely a foul for the final point. The ardboe players where going mental at him and the umpires after the game but they should look at the way they handled themselves in the final 10 mins. No one can defend that as saying "ardboe were being cute". A team shouldn't try and rugby tackle anyone that comes near them, then hold on the ball as well as fake injuries. 


Is that fact or opinion?

Obviously opinion but its funny the way that mcguigan went down injured, physio runs on to him,takes care of him, she runs of while mc guigan continues to lie on the ground obviously not moving until players and referee are over him calling on the physio again. But before she goes to go back to him he jumps up fresh as a daisy, then has enough energy to lose the plot after the game.

At that stage the game was virtually over. The free to Dromore had been given; there was no point him wasting time. As for losing the plot after the game; I don't see how it has any relevance in regards to his injury. Many players were injured and seen to by the physio and were able to play a further part in the game.

Are you being serious of course there was a point in wasting time, the longer Mc Cullagh had to wait to take the free the more he would think about it and the pressure would increase upon him. The relevance is that the way he was lying on the ground you could have been mistaken to think that he was very seriously injured.

when are the league semi finals due to be played i heard weekend of sept 24th 25th with carrickmore and clonoe having home advantage is this right .
At the other end of the table who is going to survive the drop moortown or Moy i feel moy would be best equipped to survive the drop but i think it wouldnt do them a bit of harm to play in div 2 for a few years . Good to see edendork up thats another handy 2 points for us next year too.

Honestly, I hope to see Moortown beat the Moy. As I said before, Moortown doing well at Senior Level will be the kick up the A$$ we need (just as Moortown's 'Golden Era' in the Early/Mid 90's made us stand up and take notice).

Why do you spend your time lauding Moortown and Ballinderry on this forum. Moortown are at best a very average team. They may feel that they have done a great job by getting into the quarter-finals but Derrylaughan will have too much for them, and in doing so, show the gulf between two teams from the same end of the table.

Also I don't see it having any affect on Ardboe. If they can't raise their game under their own merits I don't think Moortown will influence them. Make or break Friday night for Ardboe!!

I have doubts over whether Coalisland will be any serious threat this year. Don't think there is any doubt of their quality, but I feel the introduction of so many players at this stage could be detrimental to their chances of retaining the O'Neill Cup. Then again I could be wrong.

It's hard to look past Clonoe or Carrickmore. Both teams are defensively sound and are well drilled and this should provide an intriguing encounter.

I think you misunderstand the meaning of a forum. It's not somewhere for people to state an opinion that everyone else must agree with. A forum is a place for open and frank discussion. I really don't think people have been offended, and if they have they need to take a look at themselves. Opinions of faceless people shouldn't rile anyone.

Wrong-Prior to the weekends exit from the championship a Eglish player proclaimed that Greencastle were granted points and that this was a long standing arrangement between the two clubs. He also said that Derrlaughan would be gifted two points in the final league game! Maybe this lie down and take it up the ass approach had an influence on their performance yesterday?

Of course now the final league game is a no contest as Derrylaughan successfully dealt with Cookstown, and i fully expect them to secure survival against Eglish. Will the magician Morrison be on the line? Will the valentines card be changed for a farewell or deepest sympathy card?
Why wouldn't he be along the line. Eglish have shown that of the three teams to come up from Division Two, that they are the one most capable of remaining there for the foreseeable future. Unlike like yourselves Spuds, Eglish have identified the League as their priority. I'm quite sure they were disappointed not to beat yourselves but on the other hand will be satisfied with their years work in Division One.

Are you sure? Theres a bit of a fall out already it seems with some calling for management to leave over the ever secure medium of facebook. If you are happy with your management and year's progress would you ask for him to leave? :/ Nodoubt Eglish have done quite well in the league but my point all along was gifting points and agreeing to gift points to others in the lead up to their biggest game of the year led to a defeatist attitude withing the squad. Moortown sensed this and went for the jugular! Quite brilliantly.


Get over yourself. I really see you'se going far with your current management team. And to say you'se sensed trouble with your management is laughable. Fourteen league games played and a few days before the Championship. You'se have only won two league games this year. Going for the 'jugular' at this point seems quite futile. Moortown will not win the Championship and are the very unlikely to remain in Division One.
I would quite possibly have commended you going for the 'jugular' at an earlier stage. Not now!
