Hard to type with one hand redcard

Sorry about that lads - I was just doing a bit of thinking there ............ !

Tyronies, that Ulster MFL replay is on this weekend. Think its in Cavan again. Should be a good game. Meath beat the Dubs after ET last Saturday.

[Fuzzman]

Sorry if I missed the answer if it was already given but why are Meath playing in the ULSTER minor final again?

So any more injuries from the weekend matches lads?
How's Tommy mcGuigan doing now and Mugsy.

Is he defo out or being rested just in case.

Dooher was apparently in great form yesterday and No Stevie didn't play.

Are Down showing any interest in this match or are they growing extra long grass in the marshes?

Because they drew the last day.

With all this debate about Saturday evening games.  Twould have been a great setting to having Down (along with Tyrone the only other county outside Cavan from Ulster to have achieved greatness as defined by Joe Kernan (2 Sam maguires or more)) come to Omagh on a warm summers evening.  Would create a very atmospheric arena with a packed house.

[Fuzzman]

No I mean why are Meath in the Ulster Minor league at all.

This Sat night matches are nice for home fans but not so good for away fans, especially with children

What's the capacity of Omagh now?

They are there to bring a bit of flair and style to proceedings no doubt.

Nice try, but... the definition of greatness is a team that can win 2 in a row Sam Maguire.  So only,  An Cabhán agus An Dún,  qualify from Ulster

Of course, that is not to mention that to be a truly all time great team you must win at least 5 in total. Again, only Cavan and Down qualify.

Well with the game just under 3 weeks away what do any Tyrone ppl think our starting 15 be? Who do yous reckon at this stage are certs? Ill have a ago at the certs 1st.

1. Packy
2. Ricey
3.
4.
5. Davy
6. Gormley (at 3 a possiblilty?)
7. Philly Jordan
8. Enda
9. Cav (Id rather him on the square)
10. Mulgrew
11. Brian
12.
13. Mc Cullagh
14.
15.

[Fuzzman]

I'll stick my neck out a little further and go for

1. Packie
2. Ricey Defo or maybe at CHB
3. Joey Prob but maybe Gormley/McCaul
4. Carlin/McGee/Gourley/Swift
5. Harte Defo
6. Gormley or at FB
7. Jordan Defo
8. Enda Defo
9. Holmes/Hub MAYBE
10. Dooher Defo
11. McGuigan Defo
12. Mulgrew Maybe (maybe even Penrose or Colm Cav)
13. McCullagh Defo for Frees
14. Sean Poss or maybe at MF  OR Mugsy or Colm Cavanagh
15. Mugsy/Tommy/Snowy O'Neill God knows

That Leaves
Ryan Mellon - Had enough chances of late but harte seems to like him
Niall Gormley - I think he deserves another chance.


Sounds like Justin, Tommy and maybe Mugsy will be out injured or just coming back from injuries
What's Justy's injury?

Is it true Penrose is playing well for Aghyaran?
I think people give him an awful hard time wheareas are more patient with others such as Mellon or Mulgrew.

[Lamh Dhearg Alba]

This is the team Id go with but seems like there are questions over the fitness of Joey, Tommy and Mugsy and whether or not Dooher will be ready. Still it wouldnt be the championship without a few Tyrone players going down with injury.

1.McConnell
2.McMenamin
3.Justy McMahon
4.Quinn
5.Harte
6.Gormley
7.Jordan
8.McGinley
9.S.Cavanagh
10.Dooher
11.B.McGuigan
12.Mulgrew
13.T.McGuigan
14.McCullagh
15.Mulligan

That is a decent enough team and would have the likes of Joe McMahon, Gourley, Hub, Cavanagh Og, Mellon, McCaul, Carlin etc ready to come in and bolster it.

[Tyrones own]

I'd say there'll be a fair bit of fear of Coulter and his goal scoring prowess going into
this one which tells me Gormley might have to put yet another fire out ...or at least
contain it

Gormely must be a bit fed up now of having to attend all these fires - he now mans the station, drives the appliance, puts the fire out and attends to the wounded as well as driving the ambulance to the hospital - it's time he got a bit of help !!

Boys, I saw the Down stat man today and he had a big feck-off calculator in his hands. Brand new I'd say. We're in the dung now.
