10 Years Ago Today. Tyrone 0-12 Armagh 0-9.

[BennyCake]

You Tyrone ones sure put up great arguments 

I thought you had to be over 12 to be a member on this board? Looks like we have a few under age.

22 pages of crying over a game which took place ten years ago and we're the immature ones?  Ah lighten up. The moaning from Armagh and Kerry on this thread is a source of immense pleasure to Tyrone posters. It baffles me why ye all insist on continuing to post on it for that very reason, but I'm not complaining! Here's to the next 22 pages!!

I'm not crying. I'm merely asking for a Tyrone perspective on the antics of Tyrone players, particularly Jordan. And it's not just about 2003 either. But of course, you all don't seem to be able to respond with a sensible reply. It's all been smiley faces and pictures of apples and the likes. That's why it's been running for 22+ pages.

I agree with you in many ways but I do believe that fists of fury marsden wouldn't have lasted that game out out. Jordan was unlucky to be one targeted that time, I think he hit the wrong man, if he had hit Stevie o Neill or those guys who kept putting the ball over the bar, Armagh might have had a real chance.

Did anyone in the media come up with any definite evidence of what happened Gooch's eye that time?
Was it meant to me big Pascal that done it or were they trying to blame Ricey in a Dublin shirt?



BennyCake, are you a bit like Brolly and RTE in general and rather selective of the incidents that you choose to comment on. I bet you thought Dublin were a very clean team this year and never stooped to such low levels of the dark arts to win a game. Do you believe everything that the RTE tell you?

Why wasn't this incident highlighted by RTE's Brolly & Co but instead we have to squeaky clean Gavin tell us over and over again how he wants the game played in the right spirit. Do you agree this is clear evidence of eye gouging whereas NO such images came out from the alleged one in 2005 or was there?

I think Mickey Harte's boycott of RTE has had a knock-on effect this year on how RTE painted us and I hope it doesn't continue next year.

I was replying to a post, which was why I referred to such incidents. And the issue here is with Tyrone, not Dublin.

The boycott has nothing to do with Tyrones image. Since 2003, Harte's teams have been involved in numerous incidents, some which were dealt with, some that weren't. I've always maintained that even if Harte doesn't send his players out to carry out such deeds on the pitch, if he condones it afterwards, he may as well have instructed them to carry them out.

Tyrone should look at how they play the game, rather than moaning about this "poor us" mentality. Maybe if someone like Brolly had spoken out 10 years ago (like he did about the Cavanagh incident), the game wouldn't be the cynical game it is today.

Yes but how would that have stopped Meath or were they not cynical

The reason people are posting up stupid pictures and smiley faces is because your in so much pain about the success of Tyrone over the last decase or so, that it's funny. That can be the only reason you've neglected to mention any of the cynical behaviour of any of the other teams. To be honest I understand, it's the only thing that you can jump on as an Armagh man these days. The days of matching Tyrone on a pitch footballwise are gone, so you've reverted to trying to grasp to the only thing that's left for you. So work away if it makes you feel better about yourself or your county. But don't wonder why you get stupid answers when you ask stupid or one sided questions that display your bias.

Is that a rhetorical question?

So, asking an opposing teams fans a legitimate question is being biased or one-sided?

The reason I'm getting those sort of replies, is because they can't defend their own teams actions, and they know it. So they post up pictures or resort to calling Armagh/Kerry posters bitter.

10 years on - asking the same queston about Jordan, does seem a tad biased and one sided?

I'm a firm believer that blaming other people for your own failings will never help you to improve. Armagh fans are so obessed with the idea that Jordan cost them that All Ireland, that they fail to consider what they themselves could have done better to win that game. Perhaps that cost you lot another all ireland. And by your previous posts earlier in the thread Benny, you are still deluded trying to argue that Armagh have been as successful as Tyrone since 2003. I'd say forget about Tyrone, focus on what Armagh can do to improve and maybe you just might get back to the levels of 2000-2005.

When you ask a question of one team but refuse to ask the same question of others then, yes it looks like Bias and one sidedness and pettiness and jealousy and last but not least, bitterness. 
The reason you get the pictures is because it's obvious how much it has hurt to watch Tyrone have a successful decade. But chin up, KMG is back!!

Lots of people have responded. Particularly back in 2003. People pointed out that Marsden struck - which according to GAA rules, is a straight red. He only got it rescinded on a procedural technicality. But as I say, those arguments are ones we in Tyrone got over having with ye lot a decade ago. Meanwhile, Armagh lads are spending their time going online reminding Tyrone people just how bitter they are...so keep it up...

We will continue to remind Tyrone people of your bitterness, your hypocrisy and general cultural inferiority.

The issue wasn't just about Jordan.

The success thing, that was about 10 pages ago, and not the current issue.

The issue wasn't about other teams. It was about Tyrone.

Not just about Jordan, but about....well....

...particularly Jordan.
