Tyrone v Kerry All Ireland Final 2008

not making the john mitchels team of the 60's (only club to have won 5 championships in a row 1959-63 (read it and weep kerrymike!))

Ah jaysus I was enjoying me cup of tae and a biscuit and I get dragged into this.  There has been no team of note seen in Boherbue since that team, hope you enjoy your well deserved spell with the intermediates  

As for the Tyrone wans, for fecks sake ye should be still celebrating your fine win a few weeks ago (when we win which is often I'd be drunk till Christmas) and not worrying what a page filler throw away article in the Kerryman has to offer. If we were to take to heart all the crap written about Kerry over the years in the Irish News and that Ulster GAA rag ye have up there we would get little sleep.

As Sheehy says, Tyrone are great (okay he didnt go that far) but the sun shines out their holes fior this year. And long may it continue , yerra tis a dark enough dump of a place at the best of times

Tyrone folks dont mind these articles .I must find out what dinosaur wrote it .

We all have them John, unfortunately.

read that in the kerryman, he makes a few good points about kerrys many tactical blunders on the day (with his phd in hindsight) but the whole tone of it is very mean spirited towards tyrone and most kerry fans would say that. even if kerry had got everything right on the day whoes to say they would have won? tyrone made a few mistakes too and the best team won on the day. his comment about 5 of the tyrone team not making the john mitchels team of the 60's (only club to have won 5 championships in a row 1959-63 (read it and weep kerrymike!)) are just there to be controversial

Magic, who was the author, the online edition doesn't tell you?

dont still have it but i'll find out for you tomorrow..

I'll say a prayer for him, he's in dire need of it

Thanks Magic. Yeah he's normally not too bad, might be a relative of Bro McCrohan of Omagh CBS fame! 

At least he knows that it's the McMahon brothers, the other oul fella who writes in the Kerryman and appears to be something of an institution (Weeshie) was blaming the Gormley brothers for the savaging wee Star and young Tommy were getting. Time for a few lads to hang up the quills?

Yer man Mc grohan wrote similiar shite in the kerryman, about tactics fouling etc, when Cross beat Dr Crokes in the 2007 all Ireland club final....A real sore loser

Crokes were beat fair and square ( ok Oisin ran about 20 yards for the equaliser but never worry about that ).

At last there's agreement that the Crokes were robbed of the the title the first day.

No sour grapes Fear. Cross won the replay fair and square but Mcconville took the piss with the equalising free kick the fist day you must agree.

Yea, was wondering are they on sale anywhere yet?

He certainly took the piss with steps in Croker., but thats what the referee is there for. Id nearly swear he equalised from open play.
