Think it costs something like 30k to open Croke Park so unlikely the decision makers will elect to play semis there. Shouldn't be about cost though, I think it's brilliant to see club football and hurling there. Players and supporters will never forget it.

Tomorrow afternoon would probably be the most sensible. Or even Monday afternoon.

Dungannon Academy v Castleblaney moved from 7pm in Stewartstown tonite to same time tomorrow at same venue.
A school game at 7pm at night in January and Monaghan players and young supporters expected to travel to Stewartstown on what will probably be a freezing Sunday night. Crazy scheduling.

1. They have to wrap up MacRory to meet dates or players will be commandeered by county minor.

2. Blaney to Stewartstown is one hour of a drive. It's hardly cross country.

So they couldn't play the game in the morning or afternoon?
Sunday night home after 9pm and school and work the next day.
It's freezing these nights sending children out in that... I mean 12/13-year olds to watch it. I wouldn't put a bin out that night. 
Ridiculous time.

Can't fix it for the morning as they need to give ground a chance to thaw if the frost continues.

22k Streams Purchased last weekend.  Do the sums on that at 18 quid a pop.

How do u know this

Trust me, with all the various dodgy boxes out there Tyrone co board will have been doing very well to hit 2000 subscriptions last weekend, never mind 22000.

I'd say there wasn't a man in the country that got to watch Tyrone TV on the dodgy box at the weekend.....

I watched all of Carrickmore v Loughmacrory but only 10 minutes of Clonoe v Eglish.......on somebody else's dodgy box.

I watched both on a dodgy box and every tyrone game this year before that including errigal thirds one particularly boring Saturday afternoon.

Nearly 20s selection time of year, there have been a few players stood out in the championship and a mighty minor time the year gone by many to pick from thoughts ?

As always. Best champo in Ireland.

My head's sore trying to read that!

Shambles of a referring display in Esler, clear red card not given against Clonduff. Won't matter anyway in the long run. Burren Kilcoo final already assured, and this year I can see Burren beating the magpies easily. Kilcoo were dreadful against the yellas last week and weren't tested the week before against the Ford. Odhran Murdock is a cut above anyone else and Burren will have too much firepower for them up front this year. Big Treanor, Murdocks and half a dozen other county men in the ranks, only a matter of time before they start winning SFCs regularly again.  No Kerr or Magill against Island last day out and they looked as good as I've seen them in years. Hopefully we have a new champion this year, can see it coming back to Burren. They could give Ulster a real rattle

O dear, what's another year.

Referee did us no favours. And then didn't send Odhran off because he knew he had given Carryduff every single decision so tried to balance it all out.

Im a complete neutral with no skin in the game either way. I watched the game in full yesterday and cannot fathom how you can think the ref gave every decision against Burren. Carryduff were simply better drilled, had a superior kickout, dominated midfield and made better use of the chances they created up front. Im my opinion, the result had nothing to do with Faloon.

What are odds Tally could rejoin Tyrone in some capacity?

No chance of that I would have thought

Any truth to the rumours that Tally is revamping the backroom team? Muldoon and Flynn away?

Muldoon? Lol aye. Something is incorrect in your rumour

Nearly right in fairness. Paul Mcflynn and Kevin McGuckin told they were no longer required. Not sure how Mcivor survived as all the training was done by Tally in the last few months.

Massive accent variance within south Derry never mind north and south Derry or city. Take Kilrea for example, very broad Antrim influence compared to 5 miles up the road in Swatragh which would definitely be a lot softer.

Comment by Jarlath in Westport last night

" Saturday evening, we had the DUP sports minister Gordon Lyons in the Athletic Grounds watching our game.

"He couldn't get over firstly the crowd, it was packed, secondly the atmosphere, thirdly the fact no one was segregated, the fourth thing he said was I'm looking around at half-time, it is all respectable people who go to these games. That is what the GAA is."

I hope that statement is reported by the northern press.

What a load of condescending piss from Gordon Lyons. In other words, 'I can't believe you peasants are actually able to behave yourselves'.
Respectable people....give me strength.
Just reinforces the notion that we are the inferior race.

Mcf ferry is alleged to have called the Armagh subs 'orange British cnuts'. If that's true, then he deserves every belt that he got and more. He was heavily involved in the row in the league game in Letterkenny a few years ago and has history in Donegal with disgusting comments to opponents in club football. He needs to clean up his act. Celebrate the victory with your own and have a wee bit of class and dignity when winning.

I seen a few league games in recent weeks with big scores. McAleer of Newbridge is a fair player, think he was asked up to the Derry panel late in the league but turned it down. Not sure why he wasn't asked from the start.Sean Kearney (Swatragh) must scored 2:10 the nite, and looks a real good player. Think he hit 3 2pters. That lad ever asked to try out for Derry? Them 2 players look better than our forward subs of the bench

I agree, both those forwards look at least as good and probably better than some on our panel. Disaster for us to end up as 4th seeds. Unless we get very lucky with the draw we will more than likely end without a win this season.

Sean Kearney scored 3-14 against Kilrea. Has to be a record for an individual in a league game?

Tyrone kicked the ball into their forwards at every opportunity. We tried to run it every time. Our management haven't evolved under the new rules unfortunately for that group of players.

Burns way overstepped his authority on this and I for one hope he gets taken to the cleaners. Whatever about respect for Gallagher, Burns has lost his over his intervention. BTW he never explained his 'road back for Gallagher'.

I always liked Burns as he was an interesting and enaging speaker but since he's took office, he's full of soundbites and everything, his speeches especially seems to be full of too much effort.

 
Interesting take on this....would you rather his speeches were full of too little effort??
