Justin McMahon would have been my vote for player of the year

he'll be inj come election time and have to stay in bed to recouperate
then he will 'opt out' of the party at ard fheis time
but will be available to open supermarkets, make tv apperances or any financially advantageous endorsement opportunities !
will be looked back upon as the best potential elected FF representative ever - if only he had not always been 'out with flu'

The best post that I have read in a long time!

It finished 10-7 to Carmen.

Carmen are a dogged outfit.  That's a compliment by the way!

Glen Johnson has looked dodgy for England at right back particularly against Slovenia last Saturday, there was massive space down his flank all game.  Great going forward, but I just wonder about him...

Created a goal as well mind you.

I think adding Johnson and minusing Alonso (assuming all other things being equal) will result in more points against non-Top 6 and less points against Top 6, over the course of the season.

Fair assumption

Can anyone honestly say they are in anyway surprised to see Tyrone diving and cheating???

Wise up
Bitterness doesn't suit you

So you can't say that it is a surprise yourself...

Suppose it makes a change from the Dubs choking!!

Anybody care to tell us great unwashed what happened at the meeting?

We're not all in the inner circle.   

I'd say tonight will be the last of the Friday night games, I hope the county board play the remaining games on Sundays instead of Saturdays.

  Ross Carr last night was allowed to speak to the County Board meeting,he apparently said the reason they lost to Wicklow was solely the ref's fault.In his first year it was his late appointment,the next year it was injuries.He attempted to justify his reasons for leaving certain players out,lack of respect and commitment,he talked about red diesel,stormont non appearance,mentioned people from Monaghan and Cork who said he was always going to be sacked,he reportedly said that a member of staff in the Canal court told him tjis also,wasn't his fault Down didn't turn up for the opening of st John's pitch,accused the board of misappropriation of money ,Newcastle,He threatened everyone with the courts, if the ordinary Gaa process didn't get him justice.
  Maybe what I'm being told is  wrong but if this true it's "goodnight irene" for the county board by allowing a clown to say these things at their meeting.

This sounds quite farcical, but totally expected as the County Chairman apparently made a vitriolic attack on Carr at previous meeting alluding to all the things you have listed so he probably felt he should have a forum to answer these allegations
It was time for Ross to go but County Mgt Committee gave no lead on this at all and the manner of Carrs sacking was handled disastrously.
Think Mr Bell should consider his position in light of this debacle

Kevin Bell has every right to voice an opinion at meetings,what right had Ross to address a County meeting and to attack everyone? As a previous poster
said,can Down Managers not leave when they had their chance and give someone else a go?

This whole incident just seems to drag on and on.  If the man is judged on his results, then the case should be closed.

Clonoe won.

3rd final in 3 years for them.

Don't think that you've got this one quite right

As far as I know, Errigal won by 2

Can't understand though why this match would be more of highlight for Tyrone people than the final in 2003?

To be honest, it was due to the Ulster final and Canavan and SON getting sent off in the replay.  Personally, felt that over the 3 games we were the better team but ultimately it was all decidede by one kick.  The Paddy Russell factor only added to the whole drama!!

As a Tyrone man, I went to a few bridge games last year (a club mate of mine was the manager) and I was blown away by the quality of the programme.  Top class.  Would definitely agree that it was better than a lot of publications brought out for national league games.

there is only one game left which the county lads can play in

The league is nothing but a farce-there i said it!

not really a true reflection of the teams then when dromore, errigal, moy, ardboe are at half strength.

Full strength league table;
1.C.More
2.Ardboe
3.Errigal
4.Dromore/Omagh
6.Moy
7.Clonoe
8.Trillick
9.Donaghmore
10.Killyclogher
11.Coalisland
12.Galbally
13.Aghyaran
14.Loughmacrory
15.Kildress
16.Eglish

Considering Galbally beat Coalisland, Dromore and Moy with their full contingent of county men, your argument isnt totally justified!

Surely if we are looking at full strength teams, then Clonoe must be above Moy

Can't see Aghaloo bottling it now.  Should beat NTS at home on the weekend.
