Also, this is a shit thread.

Which is suprising considering it is one of the most eagerly awaited games in years!!

Was looking forward to an Antrim Tyrone thread from Hardstation after the great Antrim Donegal one, but i see someone has already started one. Of course thats if Antrim win

Looking forward to driving to this with little or no traffic on my route down.

Belfast - Fivemiletown and over the mountain to Clones.

Don't think I've ever been to Clones unless either Tyrone or Armagh were playing, it'll be interesting to see how other fans behave themselves.

C'mon Antrim!!!

Ah it got me down super-quick for Tyrone-Armagh. Should be virtually empty.

Google suggests going via Aughnacloy...not sure that's the way I'd go. You could go all the way to Maguiresbridge to Skea and in that way...about 12 mile longer but better roads?? Shouldn't be much traffic since as far as I can make out I will be the only Fermanagh resident going that way!

Would normally head down through Donaghmore / C'caulfield / Aughnacloy / Tydavnet / Scotstown and onto the main rd again about smithboro - never really had bother with traffic until hitting outskirts of clones.

How about changing the title of the thread to the directions thread? Then start a new match thread?

aontroim · June 23, 2009, 01:17:24 PM

We are waiting on Hardstation to start the new match thread with a proper title.

From the BBC

Antrim are likely to be without goalkeeper Sean McGreevy for Saturday's Ulster SFC semi-final against Cavan.

McGreevy was forced to retire to the sidelines in the early stages of the Saffrons' quarter-final win over Donegal with a groin injury.

Under-21 goalkeeper Peter Graham replaced McGreevy and is standing by to deputise again at St Tiernach's Park.

Cavan manager Tommy Carr will announce his side on Tuesday night, with the team expected to be unchanged.

Micheal Lyng and Paul Brady, who were unavailable for the win over Donegal, are likely to be named among the substitutes.

Not much talk on this thread about football...

Best opportunity in many a year for both teams to get to a final.

I'd like to see Close come in for Cunningham for Antrim. If they play a 2 man ball winning FF line I think Close is much better equipped to play a third man out the field and he can hit the frees. Pity about McGreevy - big loss really.

How's Johnston's hamstring? He was really only half fit for Fermanagh which is a worry.

Also Antrim will need to mind that Reilly in corner forward is a very good free taker. Can't give away too many from his side.

I've went through fivemiletown years ago.

Over the mountain to Clones - is it well signposted or any mroe descriptive directions??
