McKenna Cup 2024

[BennyHarp]

Armagh ones very touchy!

[ONeill]

Tyrone winning so far.

And somewhere in a parallel universe theres an umpa lumpa being butt fcuked by a man in a tyrone jersey, oh shit going on track record that might be happening somewhere in the wilds of Trone!

That's a quare potty mouth. Did you go to the Grammar?

Touchy, no no no, theres only 1 crowd that takes mckenna cup serious and are feeling the pressure this year to deliver. We're just happy to be pitting ourselves against the champions!

It doesn't mean they'll win but you'll see today that Armagh will take this game as serious as Tyrone. They've trained hard this last few months so the players will be looking forward to a game. They've also got as many championship players involved as Tyrone. Add in the fact that they're in division 3 so some competitive games in McKenna cup might be useful for team preparation ahead of later in the year.

Seems that a few Armagh fans on here are still basking in getting further than Tyrone last year and how they're too big for games like this now. The chances are Armagh getting further last year was a one off and normal service will be resumed this year.

This will be a very different game to last year with Armagh much further on and mcgeeney out to lay down Armagh but would be hopeful Tyrone will restore their dominance and show last years qualifier was a one off.

Basking in the glory of beating a team in the qualifiers, dont think so! And as stated by a number of posters Mickey sees the mckenna cup as an opportunity to win silverware the past few years instead of finding new players, Armagh like other counties are the opposite, so being too big for these games LOL (again showing the pressure you are under), I think that says alot about where Tyrone are now, and are heading!

I expect a Tyrone victory today, afterall we are a Div 3 team and rightly so, and expect Tyrone to "restore their dominance" in the Mckenna cup!!! There wont be a cow milked round Beragh for weeks!

It's always nice to win silverware, that's why you enter competitions and play football. When was the last time Armagh got any type of silverware? And mickeys focus on silverware as opposed to players like Armagh has meant Tyrone getting further in the championship than Armagh nearly every year since he began with maybe 2 exceptions in 11 years. Also 3 all Ireland's to armaghs 0, I'm happy enough with his focus on silverware.

Mon Arma.

Best of luck over the next few weeks and the upcoming McKenna cup campaign, it's very important to pick up early season silverware in such a prestigious competition. Without getting into petty childish arguments over who has more AI and Ulster titles (the only relevant pieces of silverware), I'd also like to point out that we in fact have won one AI title.

Is there any radio coverage of the down Cavan match today??

[ONeill]

Tyrone match delayed because of the Armagh ones.

Tyrone match now at 2.30pm.

I just was looking there and 84.5% of the ones outside the ground are from Armagh.

Will be a while yet...
