Short brownish hair with a small Antrim flag on a stick if its the same boy I'm thinking about.

That's the one! The instigator of the 'Away In A Manger', 'Your support is f**king shit' etc chants. Despite him, twas good enough craic, especially the lad who when it was 1-8 to 0-2 whipped off his Antrim top to show a Tyrone one underneath!!
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

OK  where do we start??  From an Antrim point of view we were well beaten by a much better team on the day (or most days).  Six point margin...10 would not have flattered Tyrone.  I thought in the middle 15 mins of the first half Tyrone were sensational and would have ripped most teams in Ireland apart.  I don't know if you can coach speed of thought, whether it is natural or whether it might come with experience but Tyrone were way ahead of us in that department.  If I were a Tyrone fan I would be very happy with where you are at the moment.  Don't agree with the crticism of SON and Penrose, esp O'Neill who was involved in all the best things that Tyrone did in the first half.  If you don't want him we'll take him!

As for Antrim...we're going in the right direction though we've still a bit to go.  On a positive note we never gave up.  Mid way through the first half a lot of teams would have cracked and gone on to lose by 20 points.  We scored more than we had against Donegal and Cavan and 0-15 was a good score.  In the longer term I think we can go on and be competitive in Ulster which we haven't been for a long time.  I don't want to be overly critical of the team since they've done very well this year all I'll say is that on the positive side I thought the full back line did well, on the negative, we were cleaned out by the Tyrone half backs and if 100% fit Kevin Niblock should start against Kerry plus what was Justin Crozier doing in the FF line when Close was on the bench?

Congrats to Tyrone well deserved winners, well done Antrim for a successful year so far and bring on the Kingdom...

Agreed! I think he should be named and shamed!

A source i received this morning named him as one of our gaaboard colleagues but I cant publicly reveal which one it is!

For once the shoe is on the other foot - us free-staters can't view that! Anyone have any links that we could use....

Thought the delivery of the ball from the antrim backs to their forward line in the first half especially was very poor. They were delivering the ball from too far back and as a result kept turning the ball over.

Had a blast yesterday and enjoyed the party atmosphere in Clones. A massive crowd from all of Antrim descended to Clones, and the craic was ninety.

As for the game, Tyrone got the start that Antrim wanted. They won the toss and got the goal. Sean Cavanagh gets through some work and took some good scores. Antrim played well in patches but I feel they may come away with a feeling that they didn't perform as good as they could have and may have something in the tank for Kerry next week. (Unfair on teams being knocked out of Prov. Finals one week the play the next)

Looking forward to the game and I'm sure once the boys go to training this week they will be focused for Kerry and it would be a seismic shock should we beat the Kerry men.

In work at the minute, and suffering with a hang over from hell.

I didn't get to see the player ratings in the IN, any controversy? I imagine Cavanagh got star man and 8.5 or a 9.

Enojyed the game yesterday and was good atmosphere - the craic was good on the Hill bar a few sc**mbag belfast ones who started signing about omagh (as in the omagh bomb) - was vile and totally out of place although as i say it was a small minority of scum who probably were never at a Antrim/GAA match in their lives before.

Some Tyrone boys behind us then started signing are you linfield in diguise which got them even more annoyed.

Another point was the traffic - thought it was brutal yesterday and took a good while getting in and out of the ground even with our knowledge of most of the backroads!

Now as for the game itself - thought it was a good enough spectacle - some great scroes from tyrone - in particular cavanaghs goal - people were saying o'neil wasnt great as he didnt score but he set up cav's goal and at least 3 other points in the first half - hes always a handful if not scoring hes winning ball and laying it off to teammates in better posistions which is great FF play in my book.  Thought antrim battled well without ever really threatening to win the game although if Cunnigham had have taken them 2 goal chances it could have lead to a very exciting finish.
thats the crack she said with one leg up above on the table

Aye there was a lot of Belfast ones there who I know are not affiliated with any club and as far a my knowledge have never owned football boots or attempted to kick a ball.

A load of lads singing Celtic songs in the hotel also after the match, which again pisses me off but ya can't control yobs

Getting out of that place is the worst. Took us for ages to get to Monaghan never mind home. The banter on the bus was mighty and just enough beer to last us to Milltown Row

He did indeed, 8.5. A terrific goal in the 11th minute was the first big nail hammered into the saffrons hopes of upsetting the applecart. Exploited poor defence then and several other times, finishing raking runs with four points from play. Mvement and pace too much for gallagher
