Just deleted my last point as I believe i was VERY WRONG! Chatting to a good source just now and JK has actually already taken a training session with Galway which hasn't been mentioned yet here....but apologies if it was in the radio edit at the beginning of the thread I didnt listen to it!

What are galway doing training?

[Armamike]

Yawn!!! another Fearon wanabe with a "we are not as good as Tyrone, so lets Run them down whenever we get the slighest oppertunity" mindset.

Id say Kernan could do well in Galway, at least they wouldnt shit the load a la Armagh.

Not at all - noone would run down Tyrone if ye didnt build yourselves up to be slapped down and i for one was there supporting you last year. However the arrogance on some of these threads before the Cork game was astounding and disappointing for an Ulster side, id expect it of Kerry.

A few examples

From this thread alone

"Gormley eats two Pearse O Neills every morning for breakfast! and anyhow fancy Ricey for that job, Gormley will have better players to deal with!"

A sarcy RRHF
"No this Cork  team are too good to fall flat again.  I went striaght into the bookies this morning and put my hard earned money on them to win Sam.  Our only hope is to batten down the hatches and play like we did V kerry in 2003."

Talktothehand
"harte will have plenty of time to get to grips with cork because like all tyrone people this is the game we've been expecting all year!"

Kickingmule
every game is different  ... yeah cork are a big side, ...massive midfield, strong runniing half backs, tall fast forward division, whats new then?

i believed after last sundays draw was made ... kildare was a serious outfit ..... @ that stage i would have taken cork if available, kildare have been taken care off, job done no panic, ...one game @ a time.

now we have cork ... i'm happy ... a totally new ball game for them, tyrone will ajust their gameplan accordlly and win this game!!!

can cork? ....i don't believe they can ..... tyrone to win ...with enough to spare

Kicking mule Again
totally agree .... as all-ireland champions why the hell  should we hold any fear of the rebels,
to be honest, kildare were the one team who concerned me .... and that hurdle has been cleared

Tyrone redhand
Enough of this negativity. We are the AI champions, we beat Kerry 3 times and we will beat them again if they make it past Meath ......why should we fear Cork ?

I think Tyrone will win this one with a bit to spare. We just have too much class with guys like Sean Cavanagh, Brian Dooher, Stevie and Mugsy. Also, I'd hope McCullagh starts this one. I think this is a game suited to him as he will get more space. Cork havent really beaten anyone except a poor Kerry side who IMO are a beaten docket. Dont be fooled by that Dublin result. I fancy Meath to beat them then it'll be revenge for '96 !!

what are u talking about. We are still a young team and will be winning AI for the next few years. I think we will beat Kerry if we meet them as I feel  they are over the hill at this stage but I dont see u lot beating them. and keep thing you will beat us by 5 or 6 pints, we luv that kinda talk...you will get a big surprise when we hammer you on our way to 2 in a row !

popinpoput
Have to say I have that warm feeling that I last experienced before the Dubs game last year.....fully expecting a comfortable victory...6+ points


Keyser Soze
I think this Cork team has been overhyped, they are still essentially the same players that have folded in major Croke Park occasions over the past few years, i don't think it will be any different this time tbh unless they get a blinding start and put Tyrone on the back foot. Other then that they will have to hope that Tyrone take the foot off the gas at some stage - as they have tended to do on occasion this year.

A comfortable win for Tyrone.

Fear on Strath Ban
Let's see Miskella and O'Leary launch their surging runs with Dooher and Mc Mahon
hanging off them.


Mickeys Beard
Tyrone by six.  Mulligan two goals.

Dear oh dear.

This is 100% FACT! He has been up and down meeting people concerned with te vacant post, and he took the players for a training session to get a feel for things!

When is he supposed to have taken this session ? Before the playoffs ? Before the Connacht final ?

By the way D4S, are you happy now, you Cork bast**d? 

[D4S]

FOSB thankyou for asking........I have to say on the day I was hoping for a great game, and when cork when a few points up early on I wanted tyrone to get a goal to make it interesting, but on the whole the best team obviously won and that was what I hoped for so will be more than happy to wear my cork jersey on AI final day to cheer them on against Meath

Where the frig are the Galway people on this? It had turned into a Fearon v Tyrone thread!

Not much to say really. It's all just speculation at this point. I'm still trying to figure out if he'd be a good appointment or not. His record is certainly impressive on the face of it but he'd certainly need some local help as well as while he might know the senior Galway players I'm sure his knowledge of who might be of use to him from the local club scene would understandably be limited.

Difficult to argue with his record in fairness. Granted maybe Armagh should have won another AI but they were remarkably consistent for many years but whether he can invest the same passion and energy into another county remains to be seen.

His biggest problem will be finding the hardened workers the galway team needs to compete with the big guns. I don't believe these types of players are in the current galway squad. They have enough skill in my view but they lack a few terriers who can play a bit.

I hear that big Joe is in the running for the Armagh Job?

Didn't he rule himself out a few weeks ago?

He ruled out running a long time ago.

he has also droned on and on about not managing other counties while selling himself flat out behind the scenes... take everything from joseph mor with a pinch of salt

You really are grasping at straws there mate.

Would agree with all of that and I would think the highlighted part would be absolutely critical to any "outside" appointment.  There have been a few names bandied about lately that I wouldnt like to see within an asses roar of our senior setup anytime soon.  I thought our county coffers were in relatively poor shape but there is obviously a good bit of loose change floating around somewhere if Joe is being swayed in our direction!

maybe kevin walsh would help out  - or even do it on his own !

I see Ray Silke has ruled himself out of the running. He wrote in his Galway Advertiser column: 'There have been more names bandied about for the role than confetti at a wedding and some of them are off-the-wall suggestions.
'I would include myself in that category. I have not even managed a club team at senior level as of yet, never mind a county team. Still, paper never refuses ink.
'With a very young and growing family and a lot of work commitments, I would have no interest in managing any county team at this juncture.'

Who said he was in the running for the job anyway? 

On my own behalf I would also like to declare myself out of the running for the Galway job
