[I was confused]

Gents who won the minor game?

Tyrone are 1-8 to 0-5 up at half time.  Real game, real football, proper champion starts at 1600 over in Connacht.

Fair play to an Ulster man for accepting that you have second rate football.

I thought about that for a while, I was confused. Now I have it, you think that was joke. Good man.

I will use smaller words next time.

Cheers folks.

Hi,

I`m after a favour i`m afraid.  I am looking for link to a photo taken during Armagh`s celebration of winning the All-Ireland back in 2002.  Its the picture taken from high up in the Cusack as the fans invaded the pitch.

As part of a project i am making a DVD of Armanagh success since 2000, and want this picture as a cover.

Cheers/

I hope the Kerry faithful are not a mirror image of yer eejit Sheehy on here. If so, they're seriously in panic mode. No need to be, we mightn't get by the Model.

Which reminds me..Mike, kust in cse you have forgotten where it is since you were there last September, here is a map to Croke Park:-

Jones Road was a bit flooded last weekend, so if there is rain again bring your wellies.

..i hope that the weather is nice in your world...it is raining where i am...however i am sure that where you are it is not rain, but just nourishment for the little plants.

Look, I know you had a good win on Sunday but lay off the drugs. Just stick with the celebratory pints.

WTF..what win?.  My team did not play over the weekend.

[jealous]

Debate he says, the biggest and bitterest WUM on the site!

You must be kidding, you have got that backwards...its a case of one Kerryman against 100's of jealous, bitter Tymoanie WUM's constantly having a go at the mighty Kingdom and our unparalled record.

I suppose i am Jealous

I am not bitter

I am not from Tyrone

I am not a Wum

I am not having a go at Kerry

..i hope that the weather is nice in your world...it is raining where i am...however i am sure that where you are it is not rain, but just nourishment for the little plants.

So are you saying that Tyrone should play the way that suits Kerry?

No. I just think it is sad that this great skill is dying out all because some teams who cant master it decide to stop it at all costs.

I found it very interesting around the time of the International rules. It has become apparent that the only way to compete in that game is to
move more and more toward the Aussi rules game. That might be ok but even the art of high-fielding so prevalent in Aussie rules isnt a factor in the
compromize rules.

Thats what its like in Gaelic football. Teams that cant play it the way its meant to be played are continuously forcing us to deemphasize the core skills of Gaelic football in order to compete in this new bastardized form of Gaelic football. In fact the sneering attitude of some northern contributors toward the traditional skills is very disheartening.

..like passing and scoring, and taking frees.  The only elemant of the game in which Dublin dominated Tyrone in any manner at all  on Saturday was the breaking ball. 

[With Tyrone not really having a regular fielder in recent years, this crowding development has suited them more than others.]

Definitely a problem although I've noticed most teammates now give the fielder instant options when he lands, offering immediate assistance to receive the ball, maybe even standing shoulder-to-shoulder. How often this year did we see McGrane off-load to a runner within a split-second of catching the ball. With Tyrone not really having a regular fielder in recent years, this crowding development has suited them more than others.

It is quite sad that Tyrone have singlehandely attempted to destroy the art of high fielding because they dont have players good enough to perfect the art. Its all well and good to say "we will play to our strengths" but what about all this underage coaching we here about in Tyrone. Why can they not coach players to do this ? Perhaps they dont see it as a valuable skill.

What is even sadder is that they are proud of it.

The day you hear lads talkng about trying to handpass the ball between the legs of a ruck of players is a sad day for football.

Well Dublin only managed one more clean catch than Tyrone on Saturday...or do you blame Tyrone for this?

I wonder if she will have any views on this:- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=CEKxNVrY6VM or http://www.nwipp-newspapers.com/FH/free/294417217159263.php



UNIONISTS in Fermanagh are being intimidated amid all the excitement ahead of the county's GAA match against Armagh, it has been claimed.
Hundreds of tricolours, GAA flags and bunting has been erected without consultation ahead of the game which is to be replayed this weekend.

DUP minister Arlene Foster said she has been contacted by residents concerned about the flags, which they have described as "quite excessive".

"The tricolours went up in Lisnaskea before the Twelfth celebrations. It was almost designed to say, 'we have not gone away'," she said.

"I have no problems with the green and white bunting," she said.

"People are not content and mostly the discontent is about the tricolours."

She said everyone can understand the desire to celebrate, but there was no need for the tricolours, which have also appeared in Maguiresbridge, Lisnaskea and Tempo.

Ulster Unionist MLA Tom Elliott said he had also been contacted by a number of concerned people.

Mr Elliott said: "The initial complaint was about Belmore Street in Enniskillen, where bunting was placed across the cenotaph, the town's war memorial.

"People are saying it should not have been put across the memorial and that there should be more respect."

Mr Elliott personally checked the location and said the bunting had not been attached to the war memorial.

Another complaint he had received was about tricolours in the Lisnaskea area with the Fermanagh flag alongside.

"Most people would have respect if it was done in a respectful way, not in an intimidatory way," said Mr Elliott.

"There is a need to strike a balance. They could have chosen not to have it flying across the cenotaph."

Across the county there have also been reports of the destruction of green and white flags, the sporting colours of the Fermanagh gaelic team, and a car painted green and white was burnt out on the Enniskillen to Derrylin road on Sunday.

PS Anyone else, like me, on this Board,able to claim that they have attended both Armagh Fermanagh Ulster Finals, in 1982 and 2008?

God you are really, really great.
I`d love you as my favourite mate.
Ì`d be your friend and listen to all the words you say,
In fact whenever you post i do feel a tiny bit gay.

You are the fountain of knowledge and the reason for my life,
In fact i might marry you and ditch my wife.
You are the cream of the milk you are the flake in my ice-cream,
Whenver i close my eyes its of you that i dream.

I suppose you got a free ticket in `82.

[I went through Fermanagh yesterday and every town had bunting ,banners flags etc]

Point taken Tyrone dreamer  but You might also add that fermanagh should have the greater hunger for the game. I went through Fermanagh yesterday and every town had bunting ,banners flags etc and really they are looking on this as their all-ireland . I am an armagh fan but I said from the moment they beat Monaghan that this was the first time I had seen a Fermanagh team with the realistic chance of winning an Ulster title and armagh have played them quite a few times over this past ten years. I know banners and all dont win games but I have spoken to quite a few of the ferm. folk and they are very confident. Armagh have a new manager and from the team that played Donegal last year no marsden , Mc conville McGeeney McNulty and from the year before no Mc Entees . still think the favs tag slighltly strange .

Well it was the 12th last weekend.

21 pages for Tyrone Louth compared to just 8 for this. You'd think at least Fermanagh fans would be keen to talk about this game. To be fair the real championship games take place on Saturday, good old knockout football is back. Forget the ulster final, win or lose there'll be no tears - the qualifiers and the prospect of no championship matches for 10 months is the place to be.

Every aspect of your post os correct.  Everything you have said on these boards are correct.  You are brilliant.

I`m not from Fermanagh, but ONeill you are a tosser of the highest degree.  To think..on the weekend of the Ulster Final...Tyrone are playing Louth.
