It's understandable why Roy Keane hates him.

The lack of the hooter means all these games are played out the proper way. There's none of that running down the clock that poisons the senior game.

Quote from: NotedObserver on June 02, 2026, 12:38:56 PMAidan OShea ran a lot of the game last year. We were v pedestrian with no edge and a mistake at the end of first half was a killer. Kobe McDonald new this time of year and probably Cormac Quinn to pick him up with his speed and someone else tagging him when out for the kick outs.

Tyrone a v additions as well. It should be a close game

Need to see a performance in this game. Any time MOR Tyrone have taken a step forward then it's 2 steps back. Donegal last year followed by an abysmal performance against Mayo. Armagh have shown that a good enough squad can dominant when paired with an excellent MF strategy.

An excellent midfield strategy ??

Like against Kerry in the quarter final last year !

Sometimes people just say things to have a pop at management.

I could be wrong but I'd say Armagh have better footballers/athletes at this point in time than Tyrone.

I was talking about this year where their kickout strategy has been the best around. It was close to 100% against Monaghan in the 70 minutes. Armagh are fitter than us clearly but I don't see any of their starting 15 apart from Conaty and Dara McMullen who walk on to the Tyrone team and immediately we're a better side. There's an argument that Jarly Og is their best player but when you really dig in to his preformances it's really the teams tactics that create space for him to gallop into and get shots (or fists) away from close to the goals.
You are saying that Armagh only have two lads who would improve the Tyrone team ?

Not sure too many would agree with you there. Ross Mc Quillan, Conor Turbitt, Tomas Mc Cormack (on the basis of his performance last weekend), Jarly og and probably a couple of others would make a difference

Name the couple of others. Ross McQuillan is back to fitness and can't make the Armagh 1st team. I'm not slating the Armagh players, they're a very good squad, but we also have a lot of good players. The difference in quality of the first 15 of both counties is pretty slim. They're just a lot bettered drilled than we are.

A fairly shite draw. Only 3 of those matches will be a contest.

Quote from: Brendan on May 30, 2026, 12:29:33 PMStrange timing, he deserved a send off at Anfield tbf since the writing has been on the wall for months

Timing does seem off, as was allowing Alonso join Chelsea.

There's big questions over Alonso's decision-making. Whatever about his spell at Real, throwing your lot in with a Chelsea squad with more holes than swiss cheese is the act of either a mercenary or a fool. I don't think he's anywhere near the white knight some guys make him out to be.

Gough is an awful bollix. How is that not a free for the foul on Kennedy.

Lucky goal there for Tyrone. Cassidy, Daly and Jordan are all spent. How do we not have any subs to bring on expect for 33 year olds?

Leinster were lucky to get to a semi final they're not even the 4th best team in Europe. Bath, Toulouse and Northampton would have blitzed them just as easily as Bordeaux did today.

Quote from: tyroneStatto on May 23, 2026, 08:40:14 PMJournalists are supposed to ask questions like that. He'd be a shit journalist if he didn't.

I'm be never seen a player or manager get asked "dya think the CCC will give you a lengthy ban?" after a match. If rooney cornered David Clifford after the match and said "Michael Burns got a red card for his punch, are you worried the CCC will give you an ban for the elbow to the head in the first half?" I don't think any one of you would say "ah Rooneys just doing his job". It was hatchet journalism from Rooney.

A fair question is "have you any comments about the incident at half-time?"/"you were involved in with the scenes at half-time, what happened there". A dickhead question is "do you think the CCC will give you a ban the same as Ger Brennan". Jim can't possibly know what way the CCC will view it so it's an unanswerable question designed only to imply that the CCC should ban Jim.

Quote from: imtommygunn on May 23, 2026, 08:04:15 PMHe is not a fan of journalists.

I'm no fan of Jimmy's in fact I kind of despise him but he's dead right to call out Tommy Rooney on his bullshit there. Rooney's trying to drum up a bit of a headline for himself by making a statement and disguising it as a question. Fairly low and scummy thing to do. Would he say the same to a player after a match if he got the chance? "Michael, pat fox got a 8 week ban earlier in the season for chinning a lad, are you worried you'll get the same ban after boxing Ryan McHugh?"

By some of these comments you'd nearly think Starmer was doing a good job. Britain's taxation levels are at 60 year high yet services continue to crumble. That's on him. Labour have been in power for 2 years with a massive majority and in that time have achieved sweet f**k all.

Nothing to do with "decent people" or "blaming Starmer". He has quite clearly led a useless government.
