AISF Aug 23rd Tyrone v Cork

[Final Whistle]

Ok ok, you got me, I also overheard a group of Kerry folk saying they wouldnt even celebrate this year if they won the AI 

What was it I said, bad winners and even worse losers 

Lol. Comedian, when you get argued down you give up again, must be a Derry trait to give up when the going gets tough? Put it like this would Kerry be happier beating Cork in the final or beating Tyrone in the final, and be honest you scally?

Bad losers, i assure you not, show me one Tyrone man who did not wish Cork well in the final? I hope they go on and win, they deserve it, after all they have disposed of the team of the decade in the semis.

Are you Fearon in disguise? When did we ever even insinuate that if Kerry win this year's AI it will have been devalued in the slightest because they did not meet and beat Tyrone in the process?

False positive paranoia.

Three Tyrone men chomping at the bit. Please take it easy, I'm only a wee Derry man.

Benny - I am in no way trying to take away from their achievements, they have (and still are) a fantastic team and as I've said many many times before I supported them last year in the final! I was extremely pleased to see them win, then you start to listen to all the crap and talks of team of the decade and suddenly you forget why you supported them.  Kerry are superior this decade, thats my view, and I think I am correct.  I actually supported Tyrone last year because they were a joy to watch, no cynicism, free flowing football and they brought an amazing atmosphere with them.

FW - sporting surely, but none of you would have been so sporting has that been Kerry on sunday that beat you, nor were you sporting after the easy defeat of Derry.

I honestly dont know who Kerry would rather beat, please dont try and tell me you do.  Would you rather beat Kerry or Derry in an AI final?

FoSB - no I am not Fearon in disguise. I cannot be bothered trawling through posts but I am very confident that people previously said that this AI would mean less to Kerry if they don't get to meet and beat Tyrone on the way. In fact I am certain. Maybe not you yourself, but certainly some Tyrone people on here.

Fin.

Touché 

But answer my question, I dont think you could say who Kerry would rather beat when you look at it at a more local level (no matter how unrealistic).

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

It's not Kerry's fault SLK, they can only beat who they meet. Except ourselves 

And the Kerry folk will tell you yourself (perhaps not in a public forum), that they'd like nothing better than to beat Tyrone en route to SAM.

I have no doubt about that, and it is an unfulfilled aim of theirs, but that will in no way take away from it should they win it this year. Again, not saying you said that, but alot of people certainly suggested it would be somewhat devalued.

Agreed, and nor should it.

[Final Whistle]

Considering that they beat them in 07 with relative ease and even though this is a Cork team in a different class now, i maintain my view that Kerry would rather it was Tyrone they had a chance of beating.

Again, only my opinion, having said that, if Kerry do win the ai im sure it will be revered as much as the other 30 odd.

Fair enough.

Benny, I'm waiting on you, to get this cleared up.

[cadhlancian]

did Mike Sheehy get banned from the board?

[Gabriel_Hurl]

no he did not

[tyronefan]

Pity

[ardmhachaabu]

Derry have nothing to do with it, please stick to the point*.  Kerry have won more provincial titles and more AI's. They have appeared in more finals and did back to back AIs.  Because Tyrone beat them in head to heads is a non issue.  They were / are a great team, but why can you not accept that Kerry are a better team?  The evidence is there.

They also won 2 league titles, that's 2 more than Tyrone have.  Of course Tyronies will tell you different, this team of the decade thing, it's meaningless unless you look at all the silverware which is fought for on a national basis.  When you look at it like that, there's no question of who the team of the decade is and it certainly isn't Tyrone

[SidelineKick]

Did Tyrone not win the league twice this millenium too?
