Are Tyrone the best team in the country at present? I would have to say yes. although they have been in div 2, they have went through their opposition like a whirlwind, defeating teams better than their current division. The big 3 in div 1 have stuttered their way through with some very questionable form going into the championship. Some people say the national cannot be taken as a given, but it is the only yard stick we have! At present i think Tyrone are the team that would beat any 15 at the min1 I hope they don;t get tanked on sun after putting me neck on the line!!!!!!!

My young 4 year old asked me on Sunday who would win between Tyrone and Everton.
I'll tell him now Tyrone are the best team in the British Isles.

You could argue that they are a natural Division 1 team and weren't truly tested in Division 2.

No is the answer.

This raises a far more important question:

Which is correct: IS Tyrone the best team? OR ARE Tyrone the best team?

The issue is whether the word team is plural or singular. DuffleKing is putting his money on 'Team' being plural while red n' black obviously believes Team is singular.

Can you say: 'that is a great team' if team is plural? I don't think so. Also if team is plural, then what is the singular of the word 'teams'?

I am putting my money on team being singular, although I was always crap at English.

Put those claws away seafoid!

I went up to Ballygawley the Monday after Tyrone won the all Ireland in 2003 and
it was a wonderful experience. I can only imagine what it felt like for Tyrone people
to win the first time. And beat Armagh at the same time.

If Cork or Kerry were in the British Isles, I think it would be between them. They are the best teams in the Atlantic Archipelago in my opinion.

The best County in Roscommon is Mayo  ;)
