Quote from: alwaysbackthedraw on November 21, 2025, 11:23:59 AMPlayers i would like to see feature in a Tyrone jersey in 2026:

Paul Donaghy
Ruairi Mccullagh
Michael Rafferty
Danny Fullerton
Conor Oneill
Ethan Jordan
Ciaran bogue
Dalaigh Jones
Conor Cush

Anyone else have any other shouts?


I've been impressed with Shea Coney from clonoe. Believe he was in the development team last year

A very athletic player with great physical attributes but I am not convinced by his skillset. I wonder if he could be manufactured into a tough man marker?

All week felt Trillick's experience would see them over the line with a few to spare, how wrong could I be! Loughmacrory with a performance that deserved to win the game by more than they did. Composed, clinical and fearless. Fair play to them.

Enjoy the celebrations.

Have any club championships started?

If I had a ticket for a final that did not involve my own county I wouldn't feel remotely guilty about going. An All Ireland final does not belong exclusively to the competing counties.

There will be a scramble for tickets by supporters who wouldn't be near the game if it wasn't a final. I spend most of my non working life either coaching in my club, bringing my children to their games and training, volunteering in my club or going to support my club and county.

If I was lucky enough to get a ticket then I'd be using it, gladly.

You thought Quinn was ropey today? I thought he done a top job on Cian Madden from where I was standing.

Quote from: GAAtrojan on May 25, 2025, 04:30:24 PMAnother day another awful decision, Rock Robbed by Devenney. Rock will not be happy with that!

Does the referees need to be a bit more lenient they have to realise that these players have put in months of commitment just for the referees to dictate to them over such petty things. Especially in a heated game as today's game was. Another great game marred by a litany of brutal decisions.

ND
😂😎

So game was marred by a litany of brutal decisions but decided by one decision? Which one was it Noel?

Armagh started with 2 out of 3 of the 2024 full back line.

Burns went to Darragh
McCambridge to Ruairi
McCormack (weakest, accordingly) to McCurry

I'd fully expect Dazzler to reap the reward of being picked up by the their weakest man marker.

Tyrone were destroyed on kickouts, I'd love to see stats on how many shots Armagh got off from their own kickouts, must be a high %. Tyrone played poorly and were still within a kick of Armagh. Substitutes added value (particularly McElholm).

Armagh will strengthen personnel as the summer rolls on, Tyrone will improve. Would expect to see them both down the line and would welcome a rematch 😬

Most likely to be TacticalPad, available for free with limited functions or paid for full functionality. The free version is more than enough for most people. It's more user friendly on an iPad than your phone but can be managed on the phone if you need to.

Twitter is full of brilliant resources and people to follow, with no subscription fees. I have previously signed up to different subscription based services and the stuff was just ok. If you look hard enough you'll get plenty of really good content on the likes of Twitter, Instagram and YouTube

Grace in the right place at the right time is absolute magic. The Big Band folk group type versions with thousands singing I will die die die back at them is pure and utter p*sh.
