If we play that team, we will lose.

I'm not sure there's any team we could play and win....

                             The Devine One

Conor Gormley             Justin McMahon        Martin 'Rooney' Swift


David Harte                 Ryan McMenamin        Phillip Jordan

               
                    Kevin Hughes                 Enda McGinely


Brian Dooher                 Tommy McGuigan         Joseph McMahon

Tyrone have a serious lot of injuries.


And according to the IN yesterday Armagh players after the flu are struggling to regain their fitness and their weight !!!!!!


Disaster for both teams.

[phpearse]

Joe McMahon's form hasn't been that great for the club, so wouldn't be surprised to see Martin Penrose start in his place.

[Fuzzman]

I think you mightn't be far wrong there longball although Penrose could pip Mugsy

I've a feeling he might start Stevie alright but might leave Dooher to come on if needs be.

I was worried about Justy at full back this time last year but he turned in a great season.
I thought he had a shaky enough National League though

Funny how we've all seemed to accept Hub back into MF.
I hope he keeps his head and doesnt do a Fergal Doc as they know he can have a short fuse.

Regarding the route I think I'll go down the main Belfast to Newry road and then head towards carrickmacross & Use the back roads around Ballybay

Going very Lisnakea from Belfast seems to be going past Clones and then coming back in from the west & then I'd have to get to the south road of Clones to get away for Dublin.

I see there's a place called Annaghbrack just south west of Monaghan town. Tempted to go through that to see is it like our own Aughabrack.
With the earlier Minor match I presume the roads will be busy quite early on.

Right Fuzzman I want you to clock it on Sunday and report back.

[longball]

FUZZ i too was worried about Justin this time last year and i thought he had a very poor league. BUT I feel come sunday he will start FB, whether he finshes here is up to him.

Hub is in great shape and I believe he deserves his chance in MF this sunday and lets be honest at the moment he is the best option we have. The only alternative is Sean at MF.

Cant see Colly McCullagh making it this year bit part role in my opinion.

Out of the 'new recruits' can only see Rooney and Sean O'Neill getting game time this year Cassidy would have as well but he will be out for a long spell.

[supersarsfields]

I see Harte was saying in the IN today that McCullagh might not even make the Bench as he hasn't trained since the Coalisland game three weeks ago. He also reckons Dooher isn't fit for seventy minutes so he'll prob not start.
I reckon joey could be moved back into defence to help out with McDonald and Clarke. So I'll go for a

Penrose                   TMG                Mellon        

SON                     Cavanagh            Mugsy

Was struggling with who to put at LHF but I see Mellon has been confirmed as Fit and avaliable for selection. Or what is the story with BMG? Would he be fit for 70 mins? If so put him at 11 and move tommy out wide.
