i'm more worried about this game now than when the draw was first made due to 2 factors:

(1) in a derby game form goes out the window and anything can happen

(2) armagh are due to beat us/knockout us out of the championship

The form one is more suited to a low scoring game like soccer and the second point is not relevant at all.

QuoteRonan O'Neill doesn't take the free kicks for Omagh as far as I remember never mind kicking them for Tyrone if he was to be on the squad.

Took the frees for the Minors and U21s though. Omagh must have some free taker if o'Neill doesn't hit them

QuotePJ Quinn has not made the squad of 26 for a game yet so he seems to be well down the pecking order.

Horses for courses. If MH thinks he's the man for the job he'll be in. He has been very unlucky this past few years. Good player.

If armagh come to play football they will lose. Unfortunately armagh dont usually play football against superior teams so expect a dirgefest.

What do they play then utb?

I'm going to get in early with a prediction, Tyrone by 3-5pts i guess this game will be TV.

I'm not so sure, would Down v Cork not be the preference? I'm pretty interested in the decision as I'm weighing up whether to delay my holiday until after the match. If it was on TV that might tip the balance in favour of just heading away as planned.

go on your holiday mate.

Does anyone know if they have toilets in omagh ? Or do you just bring your own bucket

I must say I'm a bit worried about this game.
Having already lifted their game to defeat Down last month I fear Armagh are well capable of doing the same again to Tyrone.

Westmeath nearly beat us at home in 2008 and so I am not exactly as cocky as some on here.

I hope we don't have any more injury scares as we need both McMahons, Gormley, Jordan & Ricey all on top form.
If Cassidy & Harte can perform like they did last night out then we should be ok but I for one wont be underestimating the Armagh challenge.

You clearly have never been to an Armagh game in your life.

derry were due to beat us in 2006 and did.

dublin were due to beat us in 2010 and did.

both derry and dublin teams were inferior to tyrone, so yes it is relevant.

if this game was in dungannon i would be a lot happier as omagh is no advantage to tyrone. the players dont like playing in omagh as long as i've been following tyrone - but i guess the suits wouldnt want to take a hit in gate money.

Derry and Dublin met us when we were Genuine AI contenders and in the top 3 teams.

Armagh meet us in a different place. I can't see Tyrone taking anything for granted.

Ardchieftain don't worry about bringing a bucket,you can use your blue plastic bag instead.

armagh favourites then considering they have a game under their belt and won since tyrone last played?
