Tyrone vs Mayo AISF Semi-Final - August 25th

[Syferus]

Tyrone will beat Mayo.
Conor Gormley or no Conor Gormley.
For the Simple reason its getting close to the 3rd Sunday in September and them Mayo lads will be oozing from the anus.
Tyrone to win by 1/2 pts, We should just let Mayo at it in the semi final on their own there normally the masters of their own undoing at that time of the year.
If you were to tell me at the start of the year that Tyrone were to avoid Dublin Kerry Cork before the All Ireland Final id have bit your arm of for that route, and Tyrone squad know that more than anyone at this stage they had the favorable draw at this stage.
If Mickey Harte can get this current Tyrone side to an All Ireland Final on top of their National League final appearance il take my hat of to him id be more fearful of Dublin and Kerry than i would of Mayo.

I don't understand how some people call themselves GAA people when they clearly don't even have a knowledge of past results. Just to clear it up for you, in my time anyway.
Semi final reults.

1985 v Dublin draw/lose
1988 v meath lose
1989 v Tyrone win
1992 v doneal lose
1993v Cork lose
1996 v Kerry win
1997 v Offaly win
1999 v Cork lose
2004 v Fermanagh draw/win
2006 v Dublin win
2011 v Kerry lose
2012 v Dublin win

I think thats 50/50 if i'm correct and not left any out, whatever it is it makes your post invalid.
1993 v

Wasn't on about All Ireland Semis specifically, i just meant in general in All Ireland series semi or final, hot air blows them up year after year with the amount of successful campaigns in their own Provence but fair to deliver year after year. Why would this year be any Different? They had it won last year after Dublin aswell and again went down the road empty handed.
Im staying gimme Mayo in an all Ireland semi final any day of the week with their record rather than Dublin or Kerry!   

You are really clutching at straws if you're reduced to trying to claim Mayo are vulnerable in a semi. If anything that's the very worst stage of the championship to get them.

No trend there to be honest to say Mayo are good or bad at semi-finals. Just the same horse shit as saying Northern Teams cannot / do not play proper football.

It is understood that neither Reilly nor his officials saw the incident and that opened up the prospect of laying a charge against Gormley, although Tyrone say they have yet to be notified.

It's taken them 10 days after the game to contrive something that wasn't there for the officials to see, and on 11 days they still haven't notified the TCB. Joke.

I'll give them a ring if you want. Some deaf lads on the TCB if they haven't got the message yet.

One joke's quite enough for the minute.

• Mone came racing over (completely needlessly), and went through Gormley to get whinging and bleating at the ref
• Gormley wasn't too happy about that (would you be?), and in a controlled fashion pushed Mone's flailing arms right back at him; his fist appeared to be closed at the end of that manoeuvre simply because of the grip he had of Mone's arm
• Mone didn't flinch, in stark contradistinction to moments later and his pathetic simulation after Penrose caught him on the shoulder
• The red mist descended on Penrose and he had to walk, not so with Gormley
• Can someone point me to the new rule that states it's possible for person A to strike person B with a part of person B's own body (even though it was a push, albeit a forceful push)?
• What have the CCC discerned that the officials missed, with Gormley, since it happened right under the officials' noses?
• Why has it taken one whole week for the CCC to issue their sanction (they viewed the 'evidence' on Tuesday 6th August, if I'm not mistaken)?
• Some of the viewers (hereon) of that video clip could do with a visit to Specsavers! 

The sheer arrogance. Is Mone not just as entitled as the Tyrone players to be near the ref? There are 4 tyrone players in the near vicinity. The video clearly shows Gormley following through agressively with a closed fist. He either strikes or very nearly strikes Mone ie a red card offence. Case closed.

[lenny]

What amazes me is that a few lads sat down, watched this clip and then decided - yea, that's a one month ban.

Who are these men? Are their names known?

You sound like Ally Mccoist.

He had no errand racing over to get involved, where the Tyrone players were leaving the field of play. Case closed yer arse (though you might be able to see better out of the latter).

40 pages of sh1te already and still 11 days to go to the game.
I think this one will set a new record - esp with the Gormley thing to get the Tys moaning.

[ONeill]

I thought Moroney stepped down earlier in the year. Who's the present chairman?

[ONeill]

Good question O'Neill - it's Kerryman O'Keefe.

[mick999]

You're correct, they hadn't updated the website but the new man is :

THE GAA HAS today announced Kerryman Tony O"Keefe as the new chairman of the Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC).
O'Keefe, who had been a member of the CCCC, takes up the role as a replacement for Simon Moroney.
Moroney last week moved aside from the role to take up a temporary position as secretary with the Munster Council.

Its not as if we didnt tell you after the games he get suspended, he should have walked during the game and you may not have been in the semi at all! Gormley and penrose went out of there way to go over to mone and the ref when they should have walked on to the changing rooms. Only person to blame is themselves and no-one else

Jaysus, this thread has been great craic. Tyronies, lighten up again please!
