Quite simply Monaghan.

Sorry omagh_gael, the Irish News don't have their 'save page as a PDF' currently enabled (currently greyed out), can only be saved as the JPEG -- no good for here (took the above from Hoganstand).

Ah right only took a quick gander at your post and thought it was the IN article.

I'd say TD is on the money regarding starting 15. SoN highly unlikely to make the starting team if he missed out training at the weekend. Will be interesting to see how we fare if Sean does play in FF alongside Mugsy, something that never occurred for any length of time during the championship run in 08.

I see the Tyrone team taking refuge on our side while they scive off for the day/weekend.. Kick our ass at football but use us as a safehouse.. Its just use and abuse..

[Maguire01]

Brian Dooher has been ruled out of Sunday's game due to getting his leg stuck in our round tower.

[ONeill]

Hehe.

[omagh_gael]

They've fierce small Towers round your way Maguire. Sure Dooher's only five foot nothin and it still only reaches his togs!

[Fuzzman]

No-One seems to know for sure but from my sources Stevie will not play any part on Sunday.
His heel has been very slow to heal and so I'd say you'll see Big Sean back in at FF

Wonder will we see any shock inclusions like Coney or Mulgrew
Mickey throws in the odd curve ball for games like this

I think I'll try to get in for the minor match for a change
What times are the pubs open from?

Going to pick up my tickets now in a few minutes, will try to suss out the story on SON.

Reasons why Tyrone will win
Most experienced team in Ireland, leaders all over the field ( especially Dooher, the Clan na nGael Iniesta ).the shrewdest manager in Ireland, hunger for 2 Ulsters in a row and a 4th All-Ireland and I believed all year that if anyone beat Down in Ulster they would win it.

Reasons why Monaghan will win
On the 11th July we made a 700 km round-trip from the Val de Loire to Lyon, crossing two great motorways of Europe.Given the day that was in it, there were loads of Dutch cars on the road taking their families to various camp-sites around France and Spain where they would win all the tennis, water-polo and bonny baby competitions before settling down to watch their nation in the World Cup final.We must have seen thousands of NL cars during the 7 hour journey but all day we saw just one flag- on a 10 D Opel Insignia complete with 2 Monaghan stickers.

Monaghan it is

[Fuzzman]

I know its only Wed but can you name the team you'd like to see for your own county and give any explanations for changes to the normal


Packie
Carlin - Man to Mark Freeman
Justy
Cathal McCarron - Have saw Swift twice now and Thought he was just OK
Joey
Block
Jordan
Hub
Colm Cavanagh as Sunday will be no place for Mr Nicey
Dooher
Brian McGuigan - Still has what it takes and gives FF line time to shoot
Peter Harte - Could be our best player this year if gets enough ball
Penrose - workhorse that needs to make his score taking more consistent
Sean Big - Need to not be so 1 dimensional and lay better ball off
Mugsy - Need to work harder and stop fumbling but still a danger for goals.

I might put Joey at MF actually, drop Colm and put Ricey back into wing back.

[Tyrone Dreamer]

Would be happy enough with that team. Think I'd leave Joe McMahon out of midfield as he does his best work in defence and despite his size has never convinced in the air there. He is currently one of most important players on the team.

I'm also not convinced yet that Peter Harte is ready to start yet. He will become a very good player but may be better used of bench at this stage. A fit Stevie O'Neill would take his place but with him unlikely to start there'd be a few in contention to start. Would not be suprised if Davy Harte finds his way back into the team although personally I woulnt start him.

[Main Street]

It does sound a bit like the North Koreans there, with the family dynasty from the Supreme Leader evident in the team.

[Rois]

Could we ever think of swapping Justin and Joe?  I love to see Justin on the ball, think he's a man who can cover a lot of distance with a couple of solos and a couple of bounces with those big strides. 

[Mr. Nakata]

Justin is definitely wasted in there. He is just too good. Cormac McAnallan done a super job in there and he was also wasted, as was Moynihan for Kerry. Really talented footballers can play in the trickiest positions but so much is taken from out the park. Then again, if the danger men inside are taken care off, then it's worth it as far as the managers are concerned. It's a tough one to call, but I'd like to see him move out the field in the next year or 2. Is there going to be a quality full back to step in though. I'd prefer to keep Joe out the field a bit further where his distribution is vital.

[omagh_gael]

Any word on SoN Rois?
