Is the 12th July in Omagh this year - not sure what they'll do with the fixture if Tyrone are at home. Its a joke Monaghan get home advantage even through Tyrone came out first considering Monaghan got home advantage last time - who comes up with these ridiculous rules!

I think County Down did - after beating Derry in Celtic Park last year and then being asked to go and do it again in Celtic Park.

Cutting to the chase them, Tyrone v Armagh in Omagh on Saturday 12th July

Its a big ask for Armagh to play 3 consecutive weekends, with only a 6 day turnaround after loosing provincial semi final.

Our strategy was to keep 3 of our best men fresh by not playing them in the first game, so ensuring that we win the second game and don't need the third one.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

I can see the logic in that case. But in this case Monaghan had home advantage the first time round so not sure why they should get it again. Considering their recent record in Clones I'm sure home advantage was a factor in their first round win. Just doesn't seem right that they should automatically be entitled to it again when Tyrone came out 1st. We'd be them second time round wherever it is so doesn't really matter but just seems silly.

I think this is a great draw for Tyrone,a chance for revenge over Monaghan or a meeting with our bitter rivals Armagh.If that doesn't fire up the players nothing will.I wouldn't have any worries about going to Clones again,if we're good enough we'll beat them no matter where it's at.Much rather have that than playing Clare or Roscommon.

We just need to keep Stevie off the bike for the next 2 weeks and we'll be grand.

Toughest draw Tyrone could have got. They are playing below the level of both these teams judging by the last 2 weeks football.  It's a game Tyrone can win but i believe we are the 3rd 4th best team in ulster never mind the all Ireland.   Still the big win' at the weekend might change the dynamic a little.

I hear Monaghan fancy a rematch with Tyrone.

Armagh will no doubt hope to close the 24 point gap from their last day out against Tyrone.

Monaghan get home advantage as rules have changed this year. If two teams meet in qualifiers that have met in their province the team that  won the provincial game automatically get home advantage.
