Celtic aren’t going to do the 10 in a row are they 

Not unless Sevco go bust at the turn of the year (and you do gotta wonder where the £££ are coming from)

Hard to know how this will go. Armagh are a very good team but lack killer instinct and a lot of their key players are inexperienced. A year or two too early for them plus they're coming off the back of a disappointing defeat.
 Monaghan have had a terrible year since they defeated the Dubs in opening round of the league but they're up and running and might kick on now they have Fermanagh accounted for. Still a bit laboured but they have the experience and quality and don't think they have become a bad team overnight.
 I'd go for a Monaghan win but think it'll be tight enough. Think they'll be nervous enough though and if Armagh have the heads right I wouldn't bet against them.

Armagh are a very good team from MF-FF, they are a very average (at best) team in the HB and FB lines

I believe it is. They usually say it when they mean "Well this part is true but this other part is not." Just gets on my wick because it throws me off and I'm too busy thinking about the contradiction to listen to what they're saying.

For me its the lack of T's. Workmate keeps going on about this "planner"(planter) that he build over the "winner" (winter)
probably going to have niney (90) flowers in it.

Plenty of times in Belfast when 'R's tend to get a bypass as well.....as in....ma thoats dry, gimma thee pints a geen

Then there are those that would say language is constantly evolving and sucessful communciation is all that matters.......

So...it's the long and winding road again for Tyrone.

Longford are no pushovers when it comes to the qualifiers having beaten Mayo and Monaghan in previous years, so it would be very foolish for MH and/or the team to take them lightly.

Will need a much improved performance to beat them as this has massive potential for an upset.

Mystery why Rory Brennan didn't start on McHugh. Been very effective on him in the past.

Don't think Donagal are Dublin beaters by any stretch of the imagination after that match, but are certainly a good young team progressing nicely.

Sometimes tactical gambles don't work and sometimes everything just seems to wrong for you on the day.

We had 3 clear goal chances, took none  - who knows if that would have given some confidence or rocked Donegal a little.

Hopefully not play as bad again this year - if we do - we're out

A very very poor game by Tyrone. Lot of unforced errors and played right into Donegal hands. That said if 1 of the 3 clear goal chances had went in......more of a sweat at least.

Blanket for Ulster....throw it off for the rest....hard to train for.

Where would be a good pub in Donabate to watch a match and get some food?

Listened to him while he was over in the UK and Ireland and the Piers Morgan interview, does anyone tell him he talks complete crap when doing interviews? I'm actually embarrassed for the guy, he seems bullet proof, nothing fazes him.

Morgan or Trump?

If Celtic do not go on to win 9,10 and 11 given the massive financial superiority they have over Sevco, the entire board sould be sacked.

There is more than enough money in the biscuit tin (+ player sales) to afford 2-3 quality players plus 1-2 prospects each year and keep the club firmly in a healthy fiancial situation.

McGinn deal could have been done for 3mill, easy - bargains are out there.

Above Rafa??? Sure include Pep, Klopp, Zidane and all the others who wouldn't come to Celtic in a million years. I think Moyes would excel, only an opinion- but it's a realistic option.

Ok, I'd agree Moyes is maybe more realistic than Rafa...but what do you think he would actually bring to Celtic?
