Tyrone v Armagh - Ulster Championship 2009

[Jinxy]

People come from all over the country to watch a Meath-Dublin game. Sure who wouldn't want to see positive free-flowing football played in a great atmosphere?

You're dripping with nostalgia, get out of that!

handy enough draw for tyrone  ... just imagine we could have got antrim.

Sure how could anyone else in Ireland get a ticket for a dub Meath game??    when all the dubs have got the tickets unless they scale the fences. I thought the dubs would snap all the tickets up

Can't imagine how you think Dublin v Meath is bigger in Ulster than Armagh v Down or Amagh v Tyrone or Tyrone v Derry or Monaghan v Cavan. I think you've lost it lad.

BRILLIANT DRAW!

Delighted with that! - Hope it's in Clones though!

[full back]

Had mixed thoughts when the draw was made.
First reaction was, brilliant to get a rap at them. The atmosphere will be something else at this game regardless of where it is.
Second reaction was unless we change our tactics and/or bring in some new personnel we are going to to find it tough to make a game of it. Against this Tyrone team there is no way you can sit back, absorb the pressure & hope to get a few scores to win the game.


BTW, did anyone else notice that when Tyrone were pulled out first Danny didnt spin the box & pulled out Armagh right away. In fact Danny was pulled on this (think by Marty) after Armagh were read out & told he had to spin the box.

 This will be a long thread but at least it will put a swift end to the Armagh threads that would have followed if they had got Antrim or Cavan.

From Paddypower

Tyrone to win the 2009 All Ireland   7-2

Holey Moley, that's short odds.

No chance that'll be in Clones, Tyrone wont give up home advantage and neither they should.

I wouldn't be afraid of Tyrone at this stage of the champ, they are only decent with a bit of momentum behind them. Armagh by 4.

It's great to see Armagh drawing Tyrone on the 25th anniversary of their annihilation by the best footballer either county has produced, Frank 'the king' McGuigan, sending Armagh football into a spiral of decline & depression for 15 years.

Armagh should be genuinely happy with this draw since the first round of Ulster has been the only time they have produced better football than Tyrone for 7 years!

Prediction - Mickey to send out some of the minors, while resting the 3xAIs until the summer.  Tyrone to win by 2 but if not sure MH will just be as happy with the scenic route!
