What's the story with Paddy Bradley?
Is he injured/retired or just not speaking to the manager again?

I was working in Omagh in 2008. I was asked by a few female colleagues during a tea break if I'd be supporting Tyrone. I said I would because I work there and one of them replied by saying, "Thanks but we still hate Derry".

Hand on heart the only times I really wanted Tyrone to win was their 1998 minor title and the 2005 title. One due to the Omagh bomb and the other for Cormac McAnallen.

Depends on the mood that takes him I think!

I don't mind Derry, But I would rather eat my own feet than shout for Tyrone.

Hated teams in the GAA are usually the successful ones.
I guess that is why Tyrone are so hated by some of our Neighbours and further a field.

Hate Derry?
Well I did in 90s and still would hate some of their supporters who still think and live as though it is the 90s, the new millennium still to reach parts of Derry.
The team itself I wouldn't hate, no threat to Tyrone from the other side of the Sperrins.

There's no f**king London in Tyrone. Lissan Parish would be closest.
