mayo didnt believe they could win it. dubs were there for the taking.
why on earth did he not have a crack at goal at the end?

fancy augher to do them over

where can you find the lineouts for both teams?

thought we did well yesterday against kildress and had a strong 2nd half showing - compared to a lot of our league games this season in which we have died in the 2nd half.

think we finished the game with 5 minors playing which augurs well for the future.

what did others think of the ref?

brackaville will be very tough opposition in the 1/4 finals, they should have been beat by pomeroy and dungannon in recent games but they hung in there and got the results needed. the roes will also be looking to avenge the championship defeat from 3 years ago. should be a great game!

Gareth Devlin the star of the show reading reports?

i thought mickey mulgrew at midfield was motm.

yes gareth played well too and kildress probably have a right to feel aggrieved that he was playing, but it wasnt our fault.
the trillick ref in league game v rock put down the wrong devlin in his report and therefore cathal devlin (an important player for us too) has had to serve the 4 week suspension instead.

our club came clean to the county board and said that it should be gareth that should serve the suspension - but they said nothing could be done about it as gareth wasn't the one cited in the report.

this team is probably the weakest tyrone minor team to reach an all ireland final since i've been following football. there's a lot of ordinary players in the side but i think its a reflection on the standard of minor level as a whole throughout the country.

Our minors qualified for the county final what seems like months ago and no idea when the final is. The best minor forward in Tyrone is playing for us but no longer on the Tyrone panel (by his own choice).

we qualified for the grade 1 minor league final in june. will probably be october before its played now. bit of a joke really.

fantastic end to the game!!!
forrest was poor in 1st half but really came good in the 2nd half and took his goal well.
ambrose was my motm while samaras and matthews were excellent too.
stokes apart from the dribble at the end was poor enough.
a couple of decent players needed before monday!

Thanks Clarshack, that makes it all ok then  lol

was a yellow card at most anyway imo. gareth's reputation got him sent off and not the actual offence itself.

Noticed on the teamtalk website that Stewartstown drew with Pomeroy last night and Gareth Devlin top scored. Thought he got a straight red card a couple of weeks ago........anyone care to explain how that worked? Is this the wink wink nudge nudge disciplinary system in operation!!!!

basically the referee made a serious boo-boo in his report and gareth was cleared to play yesterday. there were no winks or nudges!

[Remind me who was the J Quinn played that day? Was that 2001?]

You would imagine so EC but it's creates great interest and makes for great TV.
You will get a lot of people tuning in to see what Brolly has to say in the Mayo game now.
I wonder will big Sean & Co be happy to drag players down as quick the next day. If needs be I say they will.

Remind me who was the J Quinn played that day? Was that 2001?

jarlath quinn (pomeroy). the game was played in july 2002.

[This could be his big Ron moment.]

Brolly's real view of Tyrone from yesteryear

He's just tweeted
I hadn't realised giving Dessie Mone a clip was an offence

I know his brother doesn't work at the academy any more but I'm sure he's delighted that Joe expressed his opinions on the people he taught and worked with on camera for him. This could be his big Ron moment. (Minus the racism obviously)

also starting to remind me of the dickie keys/andy gray leaked video clips!

he also belittled a tyrone defender. think he said this player had never won a championship game or something like that and that it was desperation stuff for tyrone to be playing him.

out of interest, the teams that day were:

DERRY: M Conlan; G Doherty, N McCusker, P McFlynn; C McNally, F Crossan, G Coleman; A Tohill (capt.) (0-7. three 45s, four frees), F Doherty (0-1); C Gilligan, D Dougan, J McBride; P Bradley (1-2), E Muldoon, G Diamond. Substitutes: K Doherty for G Doherty (29); G McGonagle (0-1) for Diamond (h-t); D Heaney (0-1) for Dougan (40); J Donaghy for Gilligan (70).

TYRONE: J Devine; C Gormley, C Lawn, B Robinson; R McMenamin, C McGinley, P Jordan; J Quinn, C Holmes (1-0); B Dooher (0-2), C McAnallen (0-1), G Cavlan (0-1); B McGuigan, S O'Neill (0-6, four frees), Peter Canavan (capt.) (0-7, three frees). Substitutes: P Ward for Devine (35); K Hughes for Quinn (h-t); S Cavanagh for Cavlan (50); O Mulligan for McGuigan (58); Pascal Canavan for Hughes (70).

it says on teamtalkmag.com that he is suspended for mayo game.

a very understrength celtic defended well today.

liverpool were flat out apart from suarez so it's an excellent result.

great draw as well for champions league!

celtic were shocking last night - couldnt string 2 passes together, and i don't buy all this about the pitch!

some decent replacements are needed ASAP.

the worst case scenario is now europa league group stages, so at least there will be european football until christmas.
