Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[TyroneOnlooker]

Watching this on Tyrone TV, a number of points at ht.

1. Who is the Carmen mouthpiece on sideline? Hasn't stopped all fecking game.

2. That was an utter joke of a black card

3. Some bloody finish by young Canavan. Petey Harte's point at the end very impressive, too.

4. O'Neill Park is a an absolute dump. Has the ground changed in past 30 years? Plus the field is in brutal condition, terrible choice for a senior semi final.

That mouthpiece was their chairman. Dungannon was a disgrace of a venue for game. I'd say it's the worst pitch in Tyrone. Canavan and Harte were a joy to watch

Fairly harsh on Dungannon there. Grounds are no worse then Pomeroys for facilities and parking and can't think of anywhere else outside Omagh that would have held that crowd. Pitch is poor, probably worst in Tyrone and shouldn't have had a reserve game on beforehand.

Thought the match was poor overall. Errigal had that bit of class. Wing half back (Allison?) for Carmen was good I thought but their older boys looked their age. Think they should go and let the young boys at it. No other way to see if they're ready. Might mean a year or two of defeats but they'll learn. Canavan always looked dangerous when he got the ball but didn't get it enough. Ref was woeful and think Trillick will win by 3 or 4 in the final.

Big question remains....Is Ballygawley in West Tyrone?

I think it stretches into east, west and South Tyrone. It may even have its own time zone!

Is that bus parked up yet LeoMc? Was mcgahan the last drop off to killyman

You would have to ask someone from Coalisland those questions.

The O'Neill cup now guaranteed to head back West where it belongs and all the East Tyrone pretenders are back in their boxes!

Classy post. Coalisland unlucky to lose their title after a great game of football played in the right spirit.

Only west when it suits you.. slabber

Following on from the weekends results, great games. All in all though Errigal wont fear Trillick and Trillick wont fear Errigal, so i fear come the 13th October it could be a dead rubber. Unfortunately.

How does that mean it will be a dead rubber if both teams don't fear each other???

could be a write off, both teams will have no fire in the belly - no bite

Really? Strange way to look at it.

I don't think either team will lack bite in a county final...

This is a standard gaaboard post.

I think topofthesoil might be saying these things for a reaction....

Two best teams in the final - should be a good one, expecting Trillick to go on and do it from here but you get the feeling Errigal need it more.

Coalisland looked a tired team at the end of the game yesturday. Might be the end for a few of their elder players. Lee Brennan display of place kicking was the difference in the end.

Very pessimistic view, his club must be used to losing big games due to lack of fire in the belly or something...

You do know a 'dead rubber' game is one where there is nothing to play for as previous games in a series have already pre-determined the result?

How can a championship final be a dead rubber game?

f**k me. What utter shite.

[GaelTheGael]

Frank Burns red card over turned? Free to play in the final?

[Under Lights]

Hopefully Aidy McRory can be fit for the final

[OurKid]

Thought I was at the old firm game yesterday listening to the Trillick supporters hurl abuse at players as well as boo the ref. Poor behaviour from so called adults , I would rather live in Eskra than have trillick win the championship.

[Mikhailov]

Would agree about the pitch at O'Neill Park. Looks to be in poor shape.

Poor pitch, poor facilities, poor changing rooms, bad parking but they have a good BT connection.

Ask Adrian Cush how bad it is. Missed the AI final in 1995 when his foot went down a rabbit hole at training in O'Neill park

Are you sure about this?

ONeill park was very poor yesterday, no chance of free flowing football on that surface. Complete set up at O'Neill Park needs a full overhaul. The changing rooms, pitch surface and spectator areas for starters. Expected more from Errigal to be honest. Trillick were very good in a first game. Fianna were worthy champions and fought to the bitter end to keep their title - Trillick by 3 in final

[Under Lights]

Aghaloo failed to field in the derby game against Killeeshil.

What's the story there?
