Stevie O'Neill looks sharp when he gets on the ball. Worrying $:-\$

Dessie on for Hughes.

Armagh probably safe enough at this stage unless Tyrone start rattling the net. 1-17 after 63 minutes is some scoring though for the middle of January. O'Neill's been superb.

Donegal 13-11 up now after being 10-6 down early in the second.

Jordan tried to pick up Woods

How'd Penrose get away with that one? Ref seems to be ignoring the new rules.

Is it Donegal in the semis then?

It has a lot to do with the new rules imo

Yes.

FT Donegal/Derry 0-13 apiece.

Think so AFS. It was going to be Down had they topped the group so I assume that's changed and also that it won't be Queens. Though I wonder if there's a rule to stop 2 teams from thw 1 group playing each other in the semis? If there isn't there should be.

If its Donegal, I hope they just fix it for Omagh / Enniskillen rather than tossing for home advantage.

One for the statisticians, when did a team last score 0-17 but still lose a McKenna Cup match?

mountainboii · January 18, 2009, 03:38:43 PM

I hope its Enniskillen. That pitch looked woeful today.

News rules having an effect?

another cold day in omagh, nearly as cold as wednesday night and with just as about as many supporters as well. hopefully they will be more fans joining me in croker in two weeks time.

SON had a great game, hopefully a sign of things to come

John Joe Cleary the ref in Omagh just ignored the new rules by and large - had he applied them to the letter, there would have been a lot of players being replaced.

Tyrone were very, very impressive particularly O'Neill - Gareth Devlin was impressive in parts as well.

But you just can't help getting the feeling that the Tyrone team won't have too many newcomers this season.
