An Lú vs Tír Eoghain 19/07/2008

Newry would be good venue alright - it would suit both sides.

Drogheda suits better, thanks

So, with Mulgrew and Mulligan back training with the county squad:

Ricey - Justin - Quinn
Harte - Gormley - Jordan
Cavanagh - Holmes
Dooher - McGuigan - Mulgrew
McCullagh - Colm Cav - Mulligan

I know we'd like to see a major shake up as things have gone stale a wee bit but I can see Micky sticking to his tried and tested.

Enda Mc Ginley for Holmes ?

Tommy MC Guigan in for ??

[ONeill]

Tommy and Colm Cavanagh will probably be head-to-head for a place, even with free-taking as a weapon it's hard to separate them. Enda....starting to feel a wee bit uneasy about him playing these days. If 100% then definitely alongside Sean.

We'll see tonight how he is.

We need him badly.   Different team when he plays.

some Tyrone quotes from the "halfway point" thread...

Tyrone would be wary of meeting Mayo. We'd relish a chance at Kerry and I feel, could pick themselves up for it and make a game of it.

If Tyrone somehow go it together in terms of injury and fitness and met the Kingdom in the semis they'd relish it. I think Kerry would have sleepless nights. As Ziggy points out, thon Westerners make me tremble. Feckin Mayo. 1989, 2004 - two of the most disappointing days apart from the wedding

David can take on Goliath benny!

You Louth bies may as well not bother turning up as the Tyrone lads are clearly thinking beyond ye. Sure, the AI champions are having sleepless nights about them so what hope have ye.

[downredblack]

Some encouragement for the Louth boys , Down were blessed to get out of Drogheda with a 1 pt win and sure we beat Tyrone handy enough . Fill your boots .

H'onda Wee . (2 kids were born in the Lourdes , although the wife tells me they are Dubs )

[ONeill]

Is Darren Clarke still on the go?

How do the Louth posters rate their side compared to the '06 vintage?

[ONeill]

ML, you could write a novel on Tyrone and where they stand. To sum it up -  so many All-Ireland winners, a few good county footballers but ultimately a struggle to find the same levels of intensity and hunger that characterised the side from 02-05. Add to that the missing x-factor that teams couldn't handle in Canavan and O'Neill. Others in Dooher, Mulligan, McGuigan and McMenamin have regressed for different reasons. I think we are hoping for the chain to click into place again with a spark of genius from one of the aforementioned but it's getting to the stage that it's a forlorn hope. Let's be honest, very few teams fear Tyrone they way they did 3 years ago when we could rip teams apart by 10+ points inside the first half.

However, in Mickey we tentatively trust.

Quick ML, get these wee clippings on to the team, they would look well on the dressing room wall.

Better than the 08 side! But as you say yourself Tyrone are not the same as three years ago either. I still think that both teams on any given day are well capable of producing a big display. I would say that consistency is a big problem for the Louth team if you look at there displays this year.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Were Dublin as bad against Louth as they were against Westmeath on Sunday last? Westmeath had them on a plate, but couldn't collect; Louth folded 3/4's way through. All on the day, as they say.

Some encouragement for the Louth boys , Down were blessed to get out of Drogheda with a 1 pt win and sure we beat Tyrone handy enough . Fill your boots .

Yep, so handy I could cry. And then you let those big bad Armagh men turn you over like a spit on a roast 

We both have a single loss left, good luck 

[Mike Sheehy]

Indeed. Their arrogance is quite breathtaking really, considering what happened in 2006.

Then again, they blamed that close shave on injuries  so they still dont rate Louth as a proper challenge. I wonder will this hubris be their undoing.

[orangeman]

Mike - the majority of Tyrone fans like Kerry fans etc - are decent, supportive and respectful of all other counties - you will get arseholes everywhere - I'm sure there might even be some in Kerry as well  - so we shouldn't really base comments on all fans on a few who might give us a bad name.
