Tyrone v Armagh - Ulster Championship 2009

[EC Unique]

Could the Armagh posters please take all this mombo-jumbo who is in and who is out to the Armagh thread. It really is boring and is just a pile of rumour

This is fact:

Donnelly is def gone.
micheal o'rourke is def gone

A fax?

[Onion Bag]

That was just a rumour i tried to start corn, only a wee joke

I'm in gullible mode today.

But with some of the things posted as of late, it didn;t look out of place!

I know what you're saying young man

O'Neill could miss Tyrone-Armagh 

Stephen O'Neill is in a race against time to be fit for Tyrone's Ulster SFC opener against Armagh on 31 May.

O'Neill did make a return to training earlier this month but manager Mickey Harte has acknowledged that the player continues to be a fitness concern.

"The knee injury he picked up in the Dublin game (NFL game on 31 January) is proving more difficult to get rid of than he had hoped," said Harte.

"He's working on it and he joins us from time to time."

"He has to manage it and that's what's going on at the minute.

"In my opinion, he would still be available for the Armagh game. I'd be very hopeful that he would."

O'Neill's Clann na nGael club-mate Brian Dooher is also battling to be fit for the Clones clash.

The double All-Ireland winning captain is still recovering from a groin operation which ruled him out of the entire NFL.

"It's a slow process with him too. He's a bit disappointed it hasn't moved faster for him. At the same time, he is making good progress," added Harte.

Meanwhile, Dromore defenders Sean O'Neill and Cathal McCarron face an anxious wait to discover if they will be available for the Armagh game after picking up straight red cards in against Moy at the weekend.

If the pair are banned for more than four weeks, they will be ineligible for the clash.

He's been an honest hardworking player for years now. Almost a professional in terms of attitude. A feature on him in the IN a while back told how he and his girlfriend travelled to Sligo for a short break over the New Year. She drove down and he cycled there and back.
When fit he's one of the finest players in the game and a joy to watch. It's cruel that injury has robbed him and the GAA of some of his finest years.

Fair enuff...

The talk around North Tyrone is that he's a whole lot worse than Harte's letting on

Beside the van selling prawn sandwiches.

It's an awful pain to think O'Neill will be less than 100% fit again and we're being robbed of his talents during his supposed prime. However I'm sure it's a much worse feeling for him.

Looks like Tyrone have lost all three S O'Neills for this match. One might be unfortunate and two careless, but three is funny.
