Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[OrchardOrange]

Looked a wide ball from sitting in the stand - would like to see it again in TV but from watching in stand looked wide. In saying that Dromore were poor enough, shooting stupid places and Errigal had more of a score threat. Don't see Carrickmore getting near them going by the other semi final

Like Culloville in Armagh, Carrickmore are a team that should have no right to be anywhere near any final as their football is pure doirt to watch. But they get there regardless!!

[RandyDupree]

If you were to draw a straight line from where it was kicked to where the ball landed, then there is no way the ball went over the bar.
Anyway, felt the better team lost. Dromore left it behind them. Their defence was immense in the second half.

Don't agree at all, from a neutral pov it seemed like Dromore were getting the easier free calls.

The first game against coalisland we played superb football. Last two games we've played two of the biggest "anti-football" teams in the county. They set up to prevent any sort of football being played, very harsh to criticise our style of football. Don't think our boys will mind going in as underdogs, suits us to the ground

Write us off at your peril!! We will be there on County Final day and let's hope the lads can bring it home to where it rightfully belongs!! Great honest panel of players.
L Mcgarrity and Rory Donnelly excellent on the day - 2 standouts

"Where it rightfully belongs"

Referee leant heavily to Dromore.  7.25pm Canavan clobbered after he had played the ball, nothing done - so much for the poster above saying a Canavan couldn't be touched, nonsense.  Ref brought Dromore into it with a series of soft decisions, I counted 8 of them throughout the game that were gifts.  Noteworthy that the Tyrone TV commentators only commented on soft decisions for Dromore – on 2 or 3 occasions, the commentators just admitted they were baffled as to what Dromore had got a free for.  Not good when you hear comments like: "not often you'd see them ones given" etc.  As for the comment about Errigal potentially caving on the home straight, I don't see that either – both teams fought well, and Dromore's persistence was of course exemplary, they're a very hard team to win against.  Though it may have been Dromore that had 3 or 4 nervy misses (wides and shorts) – 2 in the first quarter, 2 in the last quarter – though of course whether nerves or terrible conditions hard to say.   Overall, a very good game I thought – either team would have destroyed Clonoe and both teams attacked at pace and in numbers, Dromore number 8 was it – big lad who made a series of tremendous runs – was immense, and of course the 2 Canavan cubs just have that wee bit of extra finesse about how they hit a ball – sometimes, it's like watching the Dad.
Final, hard to say - Carrickmore will be on a roll, and they're a traditional team.  Very tight again I'd say.

Peter Teague. Smashing footballer. Still cant believe the county management asked him to be a corner back & mark a wee nippy forward like Nugent on his debut

out of all the people at the ground the umpire at that far post was in the best position to make the decision whether it was a point or wide, and when you watch it again he was quite sure in his decision.

I don't agree, he was looking directly into the lights, the linesman was right behind it and cud see perfectly. Either way that's football, Dromore done themselves proud and will be back. Honestly can't see past Errigal for the title now but you never know. Game was played on a good spirit and both teams came to play football which was refreshing, thought the game was a very high standard given the conditions. Tyrone are in a good place with the Canavans and Emmett
McNabb to call on for their forward line

I guess without Hawkeye it will always be debatable, but you're correct in that it was a very high standard game and Dromore fought to the very end trying to defend their title, which made it great viewing for the neutral.

Thought it looked like Dromore where intentionally leaving a bit on R Canavan any chance they got early on.... almost like instructed to maybe?

[Onthe40]

Emmett McNabb & Dara Canavan are a treat to watch,, basically unmarkable at club level... so elusive and so ittle back lift required to kick a point

What kind of manager would Ricey be if he didn't get them to play on the edge like he did

What do you expect Dromore to do - Stand back and let them at it. Did you watch the treatment Shane Walsh got in the Dublin Final

[Under Lights]

I see Moy v Clonoe and Fintona v Glenelly playoff games are on this Saturday
