The most comical episode of all was Canavan injuring himself diving against Kerry in 2003. Mike McCarthy didnt even know he was there and still got booked!

No the most comical thing was the fact he could hardly walk in the final and it took Armoan so long to catch on. We are going to have some laugh in this thread.

Here's a fact

I love watching him getting that wedgey then fixing his wee gurdle

ye never could handle him.  What Mc Keever done that day was cheap yella and low. 
Marsden should have won more all irelands surely but in his early days he'd have jumped out of yer road. 

[Gaffer]

Some deluded boys about!!!

Fixed that for you.

Some really bitter boys about ( especially in Armagh)  LOL

And he ended up top scorer on one leg. Armagh went on into irrelevance, a one hit wonder with a lorry load of regrets, what if's and if only's.

What good came of Armaghs 02 success ? Armagh quickly sank back in the mid to lower rankings in the Country while Tyrone have continued to remain among the elite footballing powers.

4 Ulsters, an AI final appearance, a semi, and a NFL. How is that sinking quickly back into irrelevance?

Elite footballing powers? You Tyrone folk really are deluded.

Since 03 Tyrone have won

3 All Ireland seniors
3 All Ireland minors
1 NFL
4 Senior ulsters
2 u21's ulsters
6 minor ulsters
Not to mention numerous all irelands at school level.

And you think we are deluded in believing Tyrone are among the Elite footballing counties.

Which other county over the last ten years have a record as comparable from school level to seniors ?

[Main Street]

All you guys sound the same, I can't tell the difference.

[Syferus]

You can't be in the footballing elite if you're not playing football.

[under the bar]

In 2003 Tyrone put Armagh football into the coffin.  2005 they then hammered  in the final nail and by 2008 the grave was filled in.  Since then their hurlers have managed more headlines. Armagh football RIP

Since 03 Tyrone have won

3 All Ireland seniors
3 All Ireland minors - 1 minor title
1 NFL - 1 NFL (and a Div 2 title)
4 Senior ulsters - 4 Ulsters
2 u21's ulsters - 2 U-21 Ulsters, plus 1 AI U-21
6 minor ulsters - 2 minor Ulsters
Not to mention numerous all irelands at school level.

And you think we are deluded in believing Tyrone are among the Elite footballing counties.

The issue here was about the seniors. But since you ask, I think you'll find Armagh have done just as good, as you can see above. And better, in some grades.

I know for a fact that Dungannon/Cookstown schools include some Armagh/Derry players. 

If you call yourselves elite, Armagh aren't too far behind. And a county half the size.

The picture above shows more than one person who was willing to lower standards for success.

Or you could stick to the facts?

2003 AI Semi Final.Ugliest game of all time.Fact.

2003 AI Final.Injury feigned to get an opposing player sent off at a crucial stage of the game.Fact.

2005.Ulster Final replay,two players sent off.Fact

2005 AI Final.Greatest player of the modern era almost loses an eye due to gouging.Fact

2013 AI quarter final,Monaghan player hauled down enroute to goal,prompting the correct forthright analysis of Tyrone's decade of cynicism and spoiling tactics,permeated right down through all levels of the sport,delivered not be a southern born pundit,but from one born in Derry.

Both players had their cards rescinded after the 2005 final - fact. Which means that the decision to send them off and in effect award the game to Armagh was 100% wrong! Armagh by then had realised that they'd never beat that Tyrone team playing football - their bully boy tactics when Peter came on was shameful and unfortunately was a trademark of that great team.

Go watch the first half of the 2003 semi again,Tony. As near football perfection as you will get - this comment is as much fact as your statement that it was the ugliest game of all time. (Did you see last Sundays match by the way - now that was ugly?) The second half of the 2003 semi was about a team overcoming years of defeats to get a job done - it hardly defines 10 years of football.

Marsden struck Jordan - fact.

Yeah Marsden was known for that sort of thing. Stick to the facts Jordan took a run at Marsden and Marsden fell for it. And a certain tr**p clapped at the decision of the ref. Those are the facts. Why else was the red card over turned.

Jordan may have ran at him but Marsden struck him. By the way, there was plenty of, as you call them "tramps", on the Armagh team clapping when Canavan and O'Neill got wrongly sent off in 2005.

[BennyHarp]

Marsden struck Jordan - fact.

Fact. End of. Etc. etc.

I was referring to the "fact" comments by another poster - keep up!

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

What really surprises me, is that some irredeemably embittered individuals could actually believe that we could give a fcuk what they think! 

I know it shouldn't, but that enduring bitterness is actually cause for some gleeful satisfaction (on my part)!
