Hard to argue with what Weasel?
The question was did Tyrone get under Kerry's skin and whilst most Kerry fans would never say yes, it was pretty obvious from the players that Tyrone did. In fairness to Galvin he matured a bit in the last few years and his honesty in that video is to be commended. It meant a lot to them that they beat us that year and finally get that monkey off their back.
Would you disagree with that opinion?
For a man from a county who hugely underachieved with a good team back in the early 90's, you do some mouthing off about Tyrone at every opportunity.
It's interesting how many on the Tomás o'Se thread seem to rate Jordan as a great wing back yet so many small minded Derry & Armagh lads thought he was nothing but a cheat. Ye are all entitled to yer opinions of course.
A few of us Tyromonies have been man enough to say maybe he did make a meal of the strike but I have yet to hear one Armagh man to say that Marsden could have dealt with it better. At least BennyCake explained how the disappointment of losing the chance for 2 in a row has made them bitter towards Jordan and so I can then understand their bias or need for a scapegoat.
I would imagine the reason Tyrone may have got under Kerrys skin, was not because Tyrone beat them 3 times, but it was what their players did to win those 3 games (eye gouging, screaming at players, trying to get Kerrymen booked etc). I think that's what wrangles the Kerry folk. If a team beats your team fair and square, you can't have any complaints, but when there's that sort of thing going on, well that's a different story.
I think most fans (even Derry and Armagh) would appreciate that Jordan was a decent player, but he will always be remembered for his cheating. Not only that, but as good a player as he was, he didn't half go down easily at the slightest contact.
Re: Marsden. As I recall, there was handbags between him and another Tyrone player, when Jordan came bolting at him on his blind side. It was a reflex action.
