Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[Easttyrone23]

Want to wish our neighbours Clogher the best of luck in their final tomorrow. rumour has it if Clogher win tomorrow he will transfer back to Clogher in a shock transfer to play intermediate football

People will be talking about kavanaghs transfer from clogher to augher for decades to come. A man who thinks he's too good to be playing junior football and needs to be playing at a higher level to get into the county team made the decision to move to a parish rival despite knowing the obvious uproar and abuse that would result in.

Without him clogher have won a league, have played many years in intermediate and now a possible championship. Augher with him went from promotion contenders at intermediate to now getting hammerings in division 3 football.

He seems a nice enough lad but he will never live that decision down for the rest of his life.

Mcelholm was very quiet tonight but with Lough still getting the win without him influencing the game only proves how strong this Loughmacrory team are. Trillick though on the other hand are a level above any team Lough have faced so far, and you'd feel Lough will need a big performance from mcelholm to have any chance of beating them.

I thought the ref had a decent game by letting a lot go which helped let the game flow, Although that free out at the end seemed a very harsh call on Carmen. Just before the free out a Carmen man had a clear shot for a point in the left hand side of the pitch (think it was Donaghy) but instead of having a shot he turned around and passed it back which seemed a bizarre decision at that stage of the game.

I think you are confusing harsh with a great spot and having the balls to call it out. It was a foul every day of the week.

That's fair enough if that was in fact the case, I can only go by how I seen it at the time. From my point of view it seemed like the lough man was holding onto Mcgarrity then Mcgarrity pulled him off, which is why it seemed harsh to let one foul go then blow for the other. I'd like to see the incident again though as I could very stand corrected.

McGarrity clearly pulled the guy out of the way and initiated it. That's a foul.

However the lough player then tried to grab him so it could easily have been a free in IF the ref had only seen that latter part of the interaction.

Can see why a crowd would get angry but it was the right call.

On McGarritys screamer the carrickmore player Donaghey took out Loughs full back with frontal hit. Could easily have been free out as was impeding his ability to track back and cover McGarrity.

"No Mr.Sheen No cup to clean 20yrs & Counting..."


"McEhlome again ole ole "


😎

A lot a fat heures about lough club the night

Them " fat heures" are in the county final 😘

[Yourman66]

Has anybody heard of the @Carmen1932 man he's normally on here giving it all big stuff...


No where to be seen tonight ...


Like I said last year before the league final v Dungannon for such a "Big name " club they are simply not good enough when it really matters, the way it's going be another 20yrs before they get close to winning the championship truthfully speaking .

[Yourman66]

Carrickmore are a bit like United. Like to think they're the biggest club about when in reality they are both sh1t.
Realistically nobody cared about the leahue in end up, and a trophy would've just added gloss to another dire championship run.
A but like united winning fa cup last season - papered over the cracks

RETWEET " Like to think they're the biggest club about when in reality they are both sh1t"

[KillymanRifler]

Loughmacrory would be kicking themselves tonight. They won the game tonight but it could've been wrapped up by halftime with carrickmore hungry for goal. The final will be a toss up we're set for a great one. Would like to see Loughmacrory win it just for someone new. Levels above anyone they've played so far and besides the final, they probably had the hardest route.

[BeraghBadger]

Loughmacrory celebrating like they have won the thing meanwhile Trillick keeping it all on the down low and they will be looking revenge for last years loss. Loughmacrory simply don't have the defenders to stop all of Trillicks attacking power. Trillick will be happy with Loughmacrory in final as I believe Carrickmore would of been a bigger challenge for them

If i remember correctly Beragh celebrated like they won the league after beating Loughmacory in 2019. It was the last game of the league and the points meant nothing to Beragh, but they still went for it. Derby wins are worth celebrating.

No team fears or sees carrickmore as "the bigger challenge" at the top end of the table except Loughmacory and thats just because of the derby/history factor. Thats what made this semi final draw so dramatic.

Trillick would not have cared which team won last night! They'll fancy themselves against either.

Like many posters on here it's been painful to see some of the school children post nonsense on here this last while.. however I'll make this my last post for a while.. fair play to our neighbours on last nights win.. they clearly where well prepared as Im sure our lads where.. just on the night we were missing some key players in key positions up the spine of our team which hurt us and at that stage of the championship you are running that risk..

No supporter went home last night blaming anyone.. just a tough pill to swallow but I'm sure we can take something from that game going forward and we seem to have built a tight nit panel this year and given some young lads game time which may not have happened if we had the full deck/injury free - young Mattie Mccallan and Fred Loughran to name 2 who have been exceptional all year..

Long road back for any club beat in championship but I would strongly disagree that Carmen are done or are an average team. The wounds are fresh but we'll be back - you just have to wait your turn. No doubt about that

[Truthsayer]

Would agree on the adolescent content of some posts here. Slagging off teams who lost like schoolyard soccer fans and one above using a whole soccer analogy comparing a local club GAA team to Man United... ffs!
Was there last night and was hugely exciting game from two sets of players gave their all. I'm guessing the 13 year olds here have no idea the commitment needed to be a senior club player.
As for blaming the ref. He did well and I didn't hear one Carrickmore supporter on about the ref afterwards.
Loughmacrory deserved it and of course they celebrated reaching their first O'Neill Cup final.
Pure childishness here lately.

Great game to watch from a neutral POV. Serious bottle by McCullagh to step up with two pointer after being well marked all game and missing the penalty - great sign of a player being able to step up again when it was needed. McElholm likewise stepped up with a great two pointer despite being well marked throughout. Lough have a good spread of scorers which gives them a chance against Trillick. Although not his most influential performance last night he still got two good points - Cathal Donaghy has to be on for player of the championship this year.
Carrickmore showed that traditional never say die spirit but just wasn't enough. To come so close without Fullerton (and a right few others) will leave them with a load of what ifs to ponder over the winter.
The better team over the two games won in the end but Loughmacrory will need to shore up the defence and stop giving up those goal chances against Trillick - the Garritys could have a field day.

[Aaron Boone]

It will be another O'Neill Cup for the West anyway.

Ridiculous statement to make when loughmacrory are missing players from both injuries and Australia

Paddy Hunter told us a few times that Carrickmore ones weren't happy with the referee. Ronan ONeill who has a good view on the game compared to Paddy seemed to allude to some of the decisions being made as questionable.
