Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[bustsummoves]

Dromore layed the grounds for this performance after a tough battle with Ardboe.

McCusker was unmarkable, why mickey harte is not going running after this man is beyond me.

McCarron put Ronan O'Neill in his pocket. Talk about doing a man marking job, beating young o neill time and time again out to balls. Class.

Ricey +  Mccullagh as its said on a post above, best 2 club footballers this last 6 or 7 years.

There is nothing won yet tho and the real test will lie awaiting in 2 weeks time.

I'm not sure if this has been posted anywhere else, if it is apologies. It appears there was a bit of controversy in the Killyman Strabane game. Eugene McConnell (who else) awarding a stoppage time penalty to Strabane to allow them to win 2-9 to 0-14. Unsurprisingly the Killyman folk didn't agree with the decision that ultimately relegated them. Anyone at the match?

Good, hard, clean game of football. Two yellow cards the whole match and that p***k McConnell gives a penalty for a foot block in injury time when the Strabane man took a shot and it hit our full back's leg. If there isn't controversy in a match he will create some. Why is it that the majority of matches he referees in end up with people talking about his performance rather than the match itself?

The Strabane captain and the county chairman openly admitted after the match that it was never even close to a penalty.

McConnell is a self important p***k - he may do a lot of work off the field but that is where he should stay with his f**king clipboard. Why should lads struggle all year to have their season decided by his incompetency/need to be in the spotlight?

Pig- Grunt- Kildress-



Congrats to Dromore on reaching the final today.  A lot of people I was speaking to fancied Omagh for some reason 
I never had a doubt myself that Dromore would defeat Omagh today.  Colly McCullaugh and Ricey are probably the two best club players in Tyrone so its a hell of a start to any team! 

Clonoe vs Dromore should be another barnstormer of a game.  I couldn't call that one!! 

Also, any reports of the intemediate reserve final before the Omagh / Dromore game today as I missed it but a few people where saying it was a very good game?  I see their is a right few Kildress posters here so maybe they can enlighten us.

what does this mean?

Can anyone tell me what has happened the Moy? A club with3 county players including a former player of the year and a multiple all star as well as a former county player and they cant stay in the first division? Is the problem with the manager or is it simply a very badly run club more interested in fund raising than football?

Exciting finish for a big crowd gathered for the senior game. Gortin equalised with last kick. - good score. How Gortin only got one man lined at the end is a mystery. Sean Quinn Clitheroe was doing the line and i think he saved kevin mccullagh a red card after a headbutt that everyone seen after 15mins of the game. Ref was on his way to mccullagh to deal with it and clitheroe intervened then issued a YELLOW!. Ciaran McGarvey must have struck 3 or 4 times throughout the game and seemed to get ticked 3/4 times. At the finish up he busted a kildress player off the ball in front of sean quinn again - he ignored it! Should be an interesting replay - i'd say a draw was probably a fair result but think the Tones will take them the next day!

over the moon beating our parish neighbours, was much easier than expected, bossed the game on a very poor surface, but i suppose Omagh won't be much better. Ciaran Girvan got some cleaning out. The ref did rightly, but made a howler for their goal with our FB getting a very obvious push in the back for the goal, in a tight game that would have been some mistake.

Dromore were excellent yesterday, and Omagh were also clueless and gutless. I really enjoyed the first half and the last five minutes of that half is where this game was won and loss. Dromore hit three points to creat agap in that period otherwise they were in diffs with the wind behind them. Also the refs call to blow halftime when it seemed omagh were in for a shot at goal was baffling also, another example of how a ref can influence a result. Justin Mc Nulty looked so slow and unfit, or was it me reading this the wrong way?

[stalwart]

justin mc nulty doesnt play for omagh - mc mahon ! - had to be injured , way off the pace

[Knock Yer Mucker In]

Mc Mahon, sorry my mistake

Any word on galballys appeal over the red card to murphy?

[tonesfirstandlast]

I was talking to a man yesterday who told me that he had been talking to Dan Joe, Damians dad and he said that damian had Clonoe in such good shape they could beat Tyrone never mind Dromore or Omagh.

i'd say he probably got off. wasnt much in the challenge imo but then again you never know!

[winghalfback]

Clonoe Dromore final and over all its the best pairing we could have hoped for the best two teams in the championship winning their way to the final. Both teams have contrasting styles of play which will lead to an interesting physical battle. Repeat of the 2008 final and I believe both teams have improved a lot from that date too. Dromore would have to be favourites after accounting for the tougher side of the draw (playing Ardboe and Omagh compared to Trillick and Derrylaughan) and racking up big scores but it will be very close expect extra time again maybe.

Any word on galballys appeal over the red card to murphy?

Michaels appeal was rejected, looks like galbally will be without their captain for the final....Huge loss for Galbally.  Its situations like this and referees like Martin Mc Carron that really grind my gears.  Mc Carrons stupity and lack of a common sense approach has denied a lad a chance to play in his clubs first county final in a long time.  Michael has had a torrid time with injuries and has never been sent off in his life before....The tackle itself had not intent and was barely a yellow.....Gutted for Michael.

This will almost certainly sway the game in favour of kildress.
