No coin toss.

Game is in Clones.

Derry and Cavan is in Armagh

What in the name of God, Clones? Have it in Enniskillen for gods sake, such a trek in this weather

On reflection from last night's game, Brennan and Mc Geary certainly don't look out of place on the county set-up. Have to say though, that Antrim were possibly the worst county team I have seen in almost 40 years of watching inter-county football.

If they were that bad how come ye could only score 2-9?? Let see honest the first goal was rather fortunate.

You've not seen Armagh under McGeeney then I take it?

Everyman, that's just ridiculous. Antrim were middling enough on the night, emptying the bench with players who didn't get any game time previously. Twelve Antrim players declaring for university too, would make a big difference.

What was the score in 35 minutes of the second half? It was four points each - hardly one way traffic! Antrim owned the ball for long periods too but finishing let us down. But credit to Tyrone, yis are back on track, a well drilled outfit to be fair.

It took Antrim 33 minutes to score in the first half. Their last 4 points were in the closing stages. They didn't score from play. Their handling skills and conditioning were very poor in my humble opinion. Tyrone never got out of first gear because they didn't have to.

The Trap

Tyrone are a brilliant McKenna Cup Team!

Very insightful. Right from the Pat Spillane school of punditry

We are in rough shape obviously, I was hoping we could reach the AIQF in 2016 but I think we will be two and done and I expect McGeeney to walk if that happens.
Armagh, the one true love of a mans life.

In October Damian Barton selected 50 players in his provisional Senior football panel for 2016.Apart from the college-tied players many of this panel have so far seen varying lengths of game - time in the McKenna Cup ties.This is very understandable and undoubtedly good practice both from a Management point of view and the perspective of the players.Damian also said that for a variety of reasons Niall Holly,Patsdy Bradley and Gerard O'Kane would not be available for the

Premature despair, Stew.
Not even the McKenna cup wooden spoon is a badge of dishonour.

A little Tempo bird told me today that Fermanagh are very up for this year's McKenna Cup. That 1997 was a long time ago.

Rubbish there's no such thing
Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered
