True Ulster Gael, why don't you resign?

Sure there'll be great game between Armagh and Tyrone in Division 2 next year!

Maybe there is no more the managers can squeeze out of fading teams.Both teams have been going for a long time and its bound to get stale just as galway and meath did.

Why do you have one of the bay city rollers as your avatar, are you a fan? Shang-a-Lang was probably their best number.

Jaysus lads, the Championship doesn't start for another eight weeks!

Here here and ha ha. At last the men who took football to the depressing depths it now resides in are getting a severe taste of their own medicine. Teams are now wise to their suffocating tactics and in fact are better than them at it. Before 2002 neither Tyrone nor Armagh had won an All-Ireland title and why? Because they simply were not good eno0ugh. Fat Joe Kernan found a way to get around thjis- play super fit players. He won it so Mickey copied it with younger boys who could run all day. No skill. No talent. Just running, No kicking. No catching. Just basketball. It's FOOTball.

So what is happening now is clear. Tyrone especially and Armagh are now just the also-rans and are back where they belong. They'r not even a scalp any more. The Queens are dead. Long live the king!

good to hear your narrow-minded bigotted voice again forkinknife.
Does that mean ur mickey is alrite again and the tablets done the business??

GallBoss · March 12, 2007, 02:19:35 PM

Steady on there lads resigning it is only March after all but there might be a point both men might have brought the teams as far as they can and maybe a fresh face is needed. Its hard to get to the top staying there is even harder makes what Kerry have achieved since the late nineties all the more remarkable in League and championship they've been remarkably consistent.

Is paula talking to u again FIK?

zoyler · March 12, 2007, 02:27:30 PM

My God! TUG must have Joe & Mickey reading the Irish Times or looking at the Rugby on TV! - or maybe they walked past him on the picket line outside CP!
Get a grip- its still only the league and the Cross lads arn't available till next week. If the worst happens it will still give us a chance to go places we have not been for a long time and let some of the 'weaker' counties see real football up close.

Any thread started by True Ulster Gael should carry a health warning.

Good lad, forkinknife. I have to respect you, after the battering you took last week I thought you would show up under a new name, dickinhand or something.

Anyway, your gripe about Ulster teams seems to stem from the fact that Dublin have not won an All Ireland in 12 years, despite having a quarter of the population of the country.

Joe Kernan and Mickey Harte are going nowhere until the end of the season. It wouldn't make any sense mid season, although it would probably do neither counties any harm if both men went at the end of the year (not that I want to see Tyrone's fortunes getting better!)

Since 1978 only 2 wins ( 1983 and 1995).....Thats 29 years.... hardly good enough for the capital of the island, although they only have a tiny population to pick from
