A great game between two excellent teams .

Was expecting however a few pages of vitriol for Anthony Maher doing a "Cavanagh". Is that tumbleweed I see?

Hoping for a good performance today. At our best, I think we're still marginally better than Tyrone but on all evidence so far this year, we should get a tanking here. However, it's backs to the wall stuff so you'd expect a bit of heart in our performance and if that's good enough so be it.

I can't see a tanking in any circumstances. Always close games and yous always have the measure of us.I can see a draw being the outcome.

Murphy dragged down by the Monaghan goal keeper when straight through on goal today.
Just waiting for the righteous indignation from the Monaghan fans about one of their own.

I have texted Joe Brolly to see if he considers Beegan  less of a man also because of this

"Hard" in my experience usually encompasses the lot.

Nothing hard about trying to remove someone's eyeball from their socket. I don't think there's even a word for that.

Yes, the word is hyperbole.

He is a gentleman.... having failed in his attempt to reposition his gum shield he helpfully tried to replace his contact lens.

Watched the All Ireland on sky for the first time....Don'k know or care what Joe had to give out about today.
Looking forward to many more summers not having to listen to his self publicising bullshit 

Re Cooper.   Past experience has shown that if the media make enough fuss about an incident a ban could be applied, even if a yellow card was given at the time.
According to the RTE commentators it was only a knock, and its unlikely that the Dublin media will start the bandwagon a la McCann.

And there must be a few people who tune into Sky just to, uh, look at one of the participants in the studio. I hear Pat Spillane is planning to dye his hair back to its original flaxen splendour.

Guilty, Peter is hot stuff 

Well done to Kerry, they just had that wee bit of extra class and experience on the day. Delighted with Tyrone's performance overall, small margins but taking one of those goal chances made all the difference. Think we just didn't have the confidence to push up on their kickouts earlier in the second half.
The players should just take the result with good grace....say nothing,we don't want to be seen to be doing a Tip!

Can't really blame the referee, he did bottle giving out a couple of Kerry black cards but if we had taken the goal chances on offer it wouldn't have mattered. We also gave a way two points complaining about free kicks that got moved forward which could have been the difference in the end.

I don't really buy into all this Morgan bashing,it didn't work out in the second half but his kick outs were exceptional in the previous games and he was obviously under orders not to hit it long. Once we started kicking long and fought for breaks we looked more dangerous.

The biggest positive is that the confidence is now restored in the team and the county. Onwards and upwards.

And the fact that Gooch played with Kerry!

I've mentioned this elsewhere - if Ronan Clarke had been born a Kerry man and had the luck of an injury free career, we'd be talking an all time great.

Just think what he could have won if he had been born a Tyrone man

According to Colm O'Rourke, Sean was both diving and time wasting there apparently.

I just wish Joe Sheridan had shared your honourable values. 

More. misdirection. Whatabout, look at ... it's somebody else's fault.

The relevant point here is that Joe did nothing wrong.

It discredited the association meath 96 discredited the association to a level a serious discreditor could only dream of..

Misdirection not working. Joe brought nothing but credit to the Association. Please don't mention him or the Meath team again on the same page as Tiernan McCann or Tyrone.

Whinge on somewhere else.

Misdirection you might say, but if only Tiernan McCann had been able to delay his fall for a few seconds and then fall theatrically back. He might just have been able to close to matching the legend that is Aidan O'Mahony. Never get tired of watching this clip....I doubt it will ever be surpassed in our lifetime.

I meant to say, it's only unfair in the sense that others who did similar stunts (though not QUITE as bad) didn't get the same punishment. It's not unfair in any legal sense, so fire away, I say to the CCCC. We either want to stop this crap or we don't.

But that's ignoring why others were allowed to get away with it and this case wasn't.

Obviuously.

If there's bias in selecting which cases to review, then that's a serious issue as well and calls the organisation into question.

Yes. A serious issue. But in my opinion not as serious as doing nothing after FOUR different episodes of this in the championship. Yes, we could have had a statement and a pious promise that we WOULD deal with it. Next year. Or next week.

This gets the attention of the cheats.

If that your line of thinking the HET would be called in for the crimes your lot perpetrated over the years

I love the idea of the idea of the HET getting involved....Dawn raids to the homes of the 96 Meath team. Long over due if you ask me.

Pinch me I must be dreaming....a Kerry man talks a bit of sense for once.

Not sure why you are attacking Kerrymen.

It seems to me to be mainly your neighbours who the most vocal critics.

Your biggest supporters are the likes of James Horan and half of the southerners on here.

Ahh no it was meant as a complement. I haven't heard Liston speak but maybe he could replace Pat on TV? Then all we would need is a Dublin Sunday game  pundit with an All Ireland medal and things might start to calm down a bit

[That's an excellently written article.]

As many people only believe what journalists or pundits tell them.

Fair comment I would say, I think this comment sums Colm O'Rourke up perfectly  " anyone who can describe a knee to the hinch swiftly followed by a punch to the side of the head as "minor contact" cannot be taken seriously and should really be ignored"

That's an excellently written article.

Written by Kenny Archer, a Tyrone man and apologist for his native county as required.  Not much different from his Derry colleague.  This was written to provide editorial balance given the critical article by the great Derry man.

He is from Tyrone granted, but what specific points do you disagree with?
