Quotethat Monaghan turned us over (rather unexpectedly), but that that was the springboard for unprecedented Tyrone success later in the year.

So the path of the entire 2003 championship was determined by Monaghan beating Tyrone in the McKenna cup and beating Armagh in the first round in Ulster.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

They should never have won in 03, we should have had a penalty and Marsden got sent off because a tyrone man, as only they can do, ran at him and then dived like he was shot when Marsden was only defending himself.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

Not biting  ;)

But a nice try to be fair.

Yawn! There are probably relevant threads buried in the annals of this website if you want to continue on your road to recovery...  ;)

Did ye all read Brian McGuigan's article in the GL this week about how Monaghan always come into Tyrone games as favourites.
The only game where Monaghan went in as any kind of favourites was the 2010 Ulster Final - and even then, it was marginal.

I read on another forum that: 'Brian McGuigan said in an article in the Gaelic Life that Tyrone knew they would beat Monaghan and the Monaghan boys always knew they would lose to Tyrone.'
Apart from a league win a few years ago in Inniskeen.

Tyrone have beaten Monaghan when it matters in the last 10/15years so I don't think many grounded Monaghan fans will get too carried away or ahead of themselves.   :-\
Yep, we've definitely had a mental block when it comes to Tyrone, but if Monaghan look at the Tyrone line-up, it's a different team.

He (Mc Guigan) did say that for the 2003 Mc Kenna Cup Final, with the same teams involved, and for which he was injured, that Monaghan turned us over (rather unexpectedly), but that that was the springboard for unprecedented Tyrone success later in the year.
I suppose then that the league defeat for Tyrone in Inniskillen 2010 had more the feel of a trapdoor about it, than a springboard.

Regardless, you know where you can shove that springboard  ;D

Don't know if this was asked on the thread or not? Is the game being streamed?

Don't think so Onion. I would hope that I'm wrong though.. Northern Sound radio are covering.

I'd say the ulster council have cost themselves a lot of money playing the match tonight instead of tomorrow. A dark wet January night will put a lot of travellling. Gives a decent day tomoorow to. Hopefully Tyrone can get 1st cup of the season anyway!

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.
