AISF Aug 23rd Tyrone v Cork

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Am I correct in the belief that the last time these two counties met in the Championship at any grade was the U21 semi-final in Parnell Park in 2001, where Cork didn't score until something like the 60th minute?

Call me psychic, but I doubt if they'll have to wait as long for a first score in this one, might be close though

I'd say this'll be Tyrone's toughest test since the all ireland semi-final v Armagh in 2005

This year may have something in common with 2005. Three strong teams, whoever wins the hard semifinal to beat Kerry in the final.

Were Cork that good, or Donegal that bad ?

With all due respect to Meath, the two semi-finals, Cork v Tyrone and Kerry v Mayo feature the best four teams in Ireland and should produce some marvellous football. Whoever comes through that as champions will truly deserve to be crowned All-Ireland champions.

Up until that bit I bolded, I was agreeing

Who are Kerry playing in the semi ?

I hope you're right Armaghniac, even if it is Cork.

I suppose most people thoughy Mayo would beat Meath last weekend but it was a risk alright to put it down so boldly in print.

[Aaron Boone]

Referee will be John Bannon from Longford.

[Fuzzman]

What with longball getting suspended I guess we won't hear his Stephen O Neill story that he was mad keen to tell!!


As you say Fuzzman I think both teams have similar players and styles which should make for a good open game. I still believe that Tyrone would have the edge with the players. However they don't seem to be firing on all cylinders. Hopefully their just going to peak at the right time.

Why did Longball get suspended?

He told me the story. Not exactly riveting stuff.

Yeah Ref still Bannon from Page 12 Aaron.
Wonder who has the final? McEnaneany maybe.
Who are the top refs in the GAA's eyes.
McEnaneany.
Laois man did the final last year
O Conamha
Bannon
Who else?

[Rocky Mc Guigan]

You should stop after the first one you said-other 2 are rank. Even McEnanaey bottled out of 2 red cards in the Dublin Kerry game
