I enjoyed the game.

I enjoyed the game.

Are you from Tyrone?

We'll all be ruined, Hardy has invoked the curse of the verse.

[Mike Sheehy]

Hardy's position is clear. Meath 87-91 and Meath 95-99 were perceived as negative teams so one can understand their sensitivity on this subject....... deja vue and all  ...but nothing changes the fact that Donegals effort was a complete assault on the spirit of the game and the sooner we reject Meath('87-91), Tyrone (2003-2008), Donegal (2011)  the better the game will be.

Can we also include Kerry 2004 - Present on that list as it includes Galvin's assault on the spirit of the game and sometimes Referee's and other players??!!!!

[Club Rossa]

It would also include William Kirby's attack on Brian McGuigan in the 05 final which went unpunished.

But Galvin is so trendy, he is just so now

[cornafean]

They only conceded 0-5 versus Fermanagh in the 2003 QF, that must have been hyper-defensive by your reckoning? They still managed to find the time to knock over 1-21 themselves.

Derry  1-5  Tyrone 0-17
Antrim 1-9  Tyrone 1-17
Down   4-8  Tyrone 1-17
Down   1-5  Tyrone 1-17
Ferm   0-05 Tyrone 1-21
Kerry  0-6  Tyrone 0-13
Armagh 0-9  Tyrone 0-12

Scoring average 18 points per game over 7 games.
If that team had attacked they'd have been dangerous!

Tyrone beat Down 0-23 to 1-5 in the 2003 Ulster Final replay.
They drew with Derry 0-12 to 1-9 in that year's first round. The 0-17 to 1-5 score quoted above was the score in the replay.

[Man Marker]

and lets not forget Tagh Kennelly assult on Murphy at the start of the All Ireland final which he confessed to as being pre planned

What is the spirit of the game?

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Good man Hardy, apocalyptic football forestalled!

What he means Sheamy, is that teams even when they know the opposition have better attackers and better footballers they should still go out and play toe to toe, get a beating but atleast they put up a good display of football in the spirit of the game!  Boxing should be done like this aswell, screw it if the boy has a massive punch get stuck in there go toe to toe in the spirit of the sport.  In fact wars should all be fought like this in "the spirit of war" wee small rebel armies abandon their guerilla tactics and just go for it, it would make for great viewing, and sure no body really cares about the result.

[cadence]

has anyone recorded the game? i've a brother who was abroad and couldn't catch it.

Why Meath '87-91?
They weren't anymore negative than any other team of that era.

Aw shucks, sometimes you can't help being nice, ya big lug.
