UC 2010: Aontroim vs Tír Eoghain 23rd May, Páirc Mhic Asmaint

[Orior]

This is shaping up to be one of the biggest ever gaaboard gatherings.

It'll not happen.

Yes, it will all end in tears when Hardstation chickens out of introducing herself.

Before Sligo game I'd have thought Antrim were in with a bit of a chance but after seeing that Tyrone could put out a B-team and beat them. In Ulster final last year was over after 15 minutes... is a massive gap between the two counties.

Yet Antrim went on to take Kerry to the wire while Tyrone were hammered by Cork.

...and?  Kerry were crap until they got to the Dublin game. Sligo should beaten them. That means nothing... Tyrone V Antrim a total mis-match as it will be next week.

Day pass secured.

now when you head into Casement's bar, turn right and I'll be propping up the bar. usually get a pint quick enough!!! bring Saffron and i'll buy him a pint also, bury the hatchet and all that

Knowing you, you'll probably try to bury it in my head

And miss with that big agricultural swing of yours.

I shall be about that day alright, but it's looking like Fruithill.

Antrim and Sligo improved alot after the league last yr, that div4 final was rubbish and we didnt do to bad after that. Championship is completely different. Antrim are home, and i cant see them rolling over. Tyrone arent as good as previous yrs imo... personnally like to see Antrim win, being underdogs. Cant see it being anything other than a seriously tight match.

I don't know what to expect from Tyrone given the players that will be missing through injury and lack of game time to the players who have missed most of the league and are returning from injury.  Maybe it could give fringe players like Sean O'Neill and Carlin a chance to stake a claim for a more permanent position, and the one thing the like of these two have in their armoury is pace which is what we seem to be missing with Gormley and Davey Harte in the team.  What the story with CmcC?  Really would have liked to see him get more game time during the league and prime him for a run at the Number 11 position which he played so wee in 2008.

Is Joe McMeel from Augher going?

[Wee Roddy]

How many times have I to f**king say this. Conor Gormley is not slow!!! He is faster than Justin McMahon, Philip Jordan, Ricey, Joe McMahon to name but a few who you lot all think are better defenders than Gormley because he has lost a yard of pace. I would bet that he is faster than Sean O'Neill too infact.

I seem to remember Ronan Clarke skipping around him easy last year, and Gormleys's only defence was to pull him down.

I seiously doubt he is faster than Sean O'Neill. There are very few who can carry a ball as fast as Sean O'Neill.

Clarke didnt skip round him because of speed. Gormley won that battle against Clarke last year according to every paper and pundit. Even the great Seamus Monaghan couldnt keep Clarke quiet and him only a cub at the time.
