Watched the highlights of all the games on BBC IPlayer - first of all great coverage.
Clontibret just about to deserved to win but got lucky with a couple of frees. Very impressed with their midfield and ODowd at 11.
Kilcoo had a purple patch after half time that gave them a cushion. In the highlights all the big calls seemed to go their way and that was unlucky on the underdogs who were already up against it. Hurson and McQuillan are 2 of the top refs in Ireland but both had bad days.
The Jones, all 3 of them, were fantastic for Derrygonnelly and they had a never say die attitude to come back in normal time and extra time. Trillick really should have put the game away a couple of times but inexperience cost them. Maybe that is the Tyrone clubs problem in this competition, none of them get back to it year after year like the other counties.
Fair play to the Glenties boys, what a week they put in.......they would be my favourites to win it now though all four will fancy their chances.

Is anybody asking in DUP/UDA what happens next?

If the deal is presented to parliament and is rejected and Boris has to ask for an extension and a GE then he ain't going to campaign for support in Scotland and NI. He will go to England and Wales and ask for support to carry on without Scotland and NI and promote that fact that NI costs them more than the EU.

The voters will say F**k NI and the DUP, we don't want them holding us back.

Tories and DUP are totally corrupt financially and morally. Problem is they are supported by so many Neanderthals who cannot think for themselves. There is no way for us to escape the grip they have on our lives so we just have to try and make the best of it despite them holding us back. We do really well to keep going in such a fecked up place.

4 ifs from All Ireland Final:

If Cathal McShane had of hauled down Tadgh Morley in the way Con O'Callaghan did would Spillane have said it was a black card? Answer YES

If Tiernan McCann scored the goal Murchan did would Spillane have said he took too many steps? Answer YES

If Tyrone played a counter attacking game a la Kerry would Spillane have called it a blanket defence? Answer YES

If Tyrone fans were fighting on Hill 16 like Kerry fans would it have made National headlines? Answer YES

TOTAL BIAS IN RTE AND WITHOUT BROLLY THERE IT WAS A REAL DUBLIN/KERRY LOVE IN!

Carmen most impressive team at the weekend and sets up a cracker against Edendork who once again appear to be putting a poor league campaign behind them at the right time of year. Omagh impressive too in a different way and again sets up a cracker against Errigal.
A lot of one sided games in Intermediate and it looks like it could be between Pomeroy and Galbally. What a game that could be. Could Cookstown or Stewartstown now slide into Junior?
Sounds like Rock stole if at the death. Bad week for Micky Donnelly who also lost out on Derry job. Opens up that championship though it could come down to another derby tussle between Kildress and Rock.

Always thought Andy Moran was fantastic and loved seeing how he created space for himself even when he lost a bit of space. One of my favourite players. However I was disappointed with how he threw in the towel in his last appearance. I know he was put on too late but he literally didn't try a leg!

Localexpert you forgot to mention that Mark Harte was the "man in the stand" and he had more say on things than O'Neill as well. Is there not more to Tyrone that the Harte's?

What about Mugsy? Headline rubbishing what Sean Cavanagh said and then his article slating Tyrone. He should join the DUP as he can talk out of both sides of his mouth!

Same as Mup. I used to go to all Tyrone games but haven't been in quite a while. I much prefer club games. Cant see me going to county games in the future now that I am out of the habit.

Just had a look at Derry website for senior league games. The 2 clusters of 11 league games are played over 59 days, 4 games between 7th April and 28th April and 7 games between 17th July and 25th August. Lads train most of the year for that!

I actually hope Roscommon do make a game of it and it is interesting to watch right up to the end. What I was asking is how do you think they will play it?

2018 record Roscommon 0-13 Donegal 0-20 Roscommon 2-16 Dublin 4-24 Roscommon 2-12 Tyrone 4-24........throw in Meath and Cork too and call it the Super 5's.
