Tyrone v Down Ulster Championship First Round 8th June 2008

[FermPundit]

Rubbish! This is the year of the underdog. Fermanagh to reach their first Ulster final since 82. Fermanagh Down final

Wasn't it 82 when Derry were cruising to an Ulster Final, and Fermanagh came back and won? I believe that Fermangh wore Green shirts and Red togs them days

Yep, beaten by Armagh in the final. Fermangh did indeed wear green and red back then. They changed to green and white in the mid to late 80's

I think derry were beat in the first round up in irvinestown that year - i think it was my first game, unless they lost to fermanagh two years in a row.  We've handed out some amount of hammerings to them since then though.

Wireless phones Jody. One of these new fangled things. Don't think it'll catch on though.

See the BBC has Down being reduced to ten men in the second half 

[superblues]

did anyone else think the ref was poor

[Main Street]

70 mins Down 2-12 Tyrone 2-12

AET Down 2-16 Tyrone 2-15!!!

John Clarke and Benny will have stormers 2nite scoring 1-5 each...........just wait and see...I dreamt this last nite

Not bad D4S, close enough to get the cigar.

But I bet the dream didn't quite capture the nail biting drama.

[Whitehair]

Just in there now with a fish supper and a six pack of magners, never as happy to sit in on a saturday nite! The lads showed great character to come back from being 4 up, to level then 4 down in extra time and grind out a win. A game of swings and roundabouts and luckily we came out on top, all credit to the panel, management and Ricey for a great assist!

I thought he had a shite game, infact i thought he was anti down.  The seemed to be half killed before they got their free.  He's a complete gobshite is our Pat.

What a game, a real classic, they wont get entertainment like that at the European Championships or in the so called Premiership. Great night to be a Downman, we will enjoy it for a while, while sparing a thought for Tyrone, they were lion-hearted tonight and would have deserved a draw. I suspect we have not seen the last of them this year, they will break a few hearts in the qualifiers. Meanwhile us Down men will start to dream, sober analysis can be left to later

[reddgnhand]

i think we lost this one on the line. I'm still lost as to what tactics MH sent that team out with tonight. To keep big Sean in full forward for that length of time was criminal. Totally wasted in there. I was in line with him for the second half and he was totally frustrated.
