Sad to see a Derry man big up Tyrone that much. Is that how Derry men feel better about themselves now, big up Tyrone so it feels better when they beat Derry again and again. Sad. I wouldn't big up Monaghan if they were playing a junior b team from Kilkenny.

You haven't seen my prediction yet for when Derry play Cavan, nor when Tyrone play any other div 2 team.
Tyrone will win Division 2 by as much as they choose.
But keep fighting the good fight and try to sort your itch out.

Poor itchy has a gripe with Derry football. Not 'big up' Monaghan but happy to amalgamate at club level. Good lad!!

What are you on about ya plonker. You Derry boys have Stockholm syndrome when it comes to Tyrone.  As I said with the exception of 1 or 2 top class players, Tyrone are as ordinary as they've been for decades. As for Derry, what the hell have ye achieved in the past few years - f**k all is what. Tyrone and Derry in Div 2 because they weren't good enough for Div 1, that's how it works. Whether either is good enough to get out remains to be seen, this division is always very tight.

Haha ah yes I forgot how successful Cavan have been of late. You really believe Derry have an inferiority complex to Tyrone? Wise up.

Yes I do. I believe ye are Tyrones little bitches. Yer man above thinks Tyrone will beat everyone by whatever they like and win the group by whatever they like.

Well if we're Tyrone's bitches you lot must be Monaghans rent boys. Anyway I'm done talking to a mug like you. There are decent Cavan posters in here like Rodney. Get the orange out of the pocket and get to bed son!

Naw, general_lee, no fun in that.

Not just me, I would think. Paddy Power has Tyrone odds on to be promoted and very clear favourites to win the division outright. Tyrone have reached the All-Ireland semi-final in two of the last three years, a level of ordinariness that most counties would love to achieve. In fact it's a level of ordinariness that Tyrone have rarely achieved themselves in the past few decades (84-86, 95-96 and 03-05 being a few possible examples). Tyrone are shorter odds to win the All-Ireland than several division 1 teams. They will start each match in div 2 as favourites; this weekend, they start with the second shortest price in all four divisions, behind Louth who play London. It will take an extraordinary set of circumstances for Tyrone not to go up. The only circumstances where I can see Tyrone losing points are in a niggly draw with Derry (with a referee who is clued into Tyrone's skulduggery), or if Meath play their 96 team or if Tyrone have already qualified for the final and play a shadow team against Fermanagh.

As I said earlier in the thread, Tyrone will go up and could be joined by any one of three others and any two from five could go down. Nothing about being anyone's bitches, just realism.

Tyrone are rightly favourites.
The last time they were relegated  they came straight back up.
There pre season form has been brilliant and they have a crop of talented All Ireland winning Under 21's coming through.

But last years All Ireland run did paper over a lot of cracks.
The only team  of any quality Tyrone beat on that run was Monaghan.
Talk of rotating players seems to be coming mostly from supporters and Division 2 will be a complete dog fight.

I think there odds for winning the division are very short. Games will be tight due to the parochial nature of the division but they are rightly favourites

Decent post Fermgael you summed up Tyrone well they got Monagahn on an off day as well and they have the vodooo over them saying that they gave Kerry a right good game and came up not far away.

Be interesting watching Mickey Harte build this team this year with the influx of the new blood he has at his disposable .

They are rightly the team to beat in this division and to be honest I can't see them loosing a game!

A good few missing from the team that lost to Armagh two years ago, the two Brays, Wallace, K Reilly, Menton, Shane O'Rourke, Harrington, Damien Carroll and Seamus Kenny.

Bray retired
Wallace injured?
Reilly finished?
Menton?
O'Rourke injury be a decent guess
Harrington?
Carroll?
Kenny retired?
