I remember being down there and going for dinner. Now I was half cut and there was a sign saying full sunday dinner 3 quid so I thought bargain so me and a few mates went into what we thought was a little tea shop or something and it turned out to be some pikey tip lads dining room!! Wanting to make a few bob for match day! He had about 8 people in there too!! His wife was doing all the cooking and it was a nice bit of chicken!!
typical
so K16, are ye confident ?
confident?...too busy scrambling for tickets to think about the match!
Nobody is more ready for Tyrone than Kerry though...no matter what they come out with, we'll have seen it before. That can't be said about Kerry. We'll match them for intensity as well, no doubt about that....will they match us?

We've won our All Ireland. Hurling is the better and more enjoyable of the two codes. Don't forget we've beaten ye 9 times in the Championship since 1987 so we're far from the laughing stock of gaelic football.

9 times....Jesus, that's great...well done.
Is Billy Morgan staying on, or has he had enough at this stage?
He's seems even crankier than usual lately....I think he should stay on though.
Keane16 said:
Not sure but hopefully he will. Hes great.
Team named for the good guys...same team that humiliated Cork, apart from Bryan Sheehan dropping to the bench in place of Dara O'Cinneide.....he has the experience, and he can take frees, both of those are vital. He's named at corner forward, but hardly likely...full forward for him I reckon, certainly at some stage of the game anyway. Decky Sull moving out the pitch with Eoin Brosnan either dropping back from centre half forward in order to defend as is the fashion, and also to give him time and space to pull off some of his his deep runs or...to go in as a full forward himself, not something we'll have seen too much of....then again, Jack likes to shake things up on a regular basis and doesn't mind springing surprises regardless of the occasion or the opposition. Hasset and Galvin will be very important as well, especially Paul Galvin. He seems to have he's shooting boots on lately as well, although in fairness, playing Tyrone is different than playing Mayo or Cork. We need a big game from midfield as well, Kirby and O'Se, they're well up to it.
We've not conceded a goal yet this year - if that stays the same, we've one hand on Sam. Won't be easy though, Mulligan, O'Neill and Peter the Gimp are as good as you'll get outside of the Kingdom.
My ticket is organised, I'm off work until Monday, driving to Tralee tonight to round up some lads, and hit town again on Saturday afternoon.
It doesn't get any better than this lads.

Did ye see yer man on the news who painted all his cows, geese and sheep green and gold
If yis keep O'Neill, Mulligan and Canavan quiet yissell win, its a big if though for all three to have a quiet one. I still havent a notion who'll likely win, Tyrone's long path will either continue with momentum or finally catch up with them.
It will be one or t'other, aye.
Hard luck K16, no quibbles really, Tyrone are the better team and thoroughly deserved their win.
2-10 was never going to be enough against Tyrone, sure we even scored 1-14 against them twice and still lost

How many of the last 10 have gone North?
3 but they've won 7 of the last 15

tought it would be a lot more,
just watching the Sunday Game, that Marty Morrissey would scare the horses
Where to now for this particular Kerry team ?
Beaten by Armagh in 02
Beaten by Tyrone in 03
Changed their style of play to combat the so called "puke" football and won Sam in 04 without facing their northern adversaries
Yesterday was a chance to seek retribution and they just weren't good enough
Smug Spillane was a sight after the game

Well beaten yesterday...should have been at least 5/6 points in it so much were Tyrone the superior team but they will still be in the running next year.
Along with Tyrone & Armagh they are streets ahead of anyone else so I wouldn't write them off coming back and winning it next year. After a very good opening 15 minutes they seemed to get frustrated and disheartened very early and were second best all over the pitch for the rest of the match.
Still have some of the best players in the country in the O'Se's and Gooch but need to get the northern monkey off their backs so they won't lack incentive next year. It will be easier for O'Connor (or whoever is in charge) to motivate a team that has lost an All Ireland than when there were reigning champions.
Delighted for Tyrone though...I'd say there is some session in the county today...lucky bastards!!
Very good game. Well done to Tyrone Actually been some very good games in this years Championship, yesterday, Armagh v Tyrone in the semi(as good as you could hope to see), Dublin v Tyrone in the drawn game, Cork v Galway, Dublin v Laois etc etc.

agree totally, they are obviously still up there in the top three but as you say they can't get the northern monkey off their back
I too was delighted for Tyrone. Who knows, if Cormac hadn't died suddenly last year they might have been celebrating a famous three in a row yesterday
Tyrone deserved it on the pitch, no question, great display from them....how Sean Kavanagh didn't get Man of the Match is beyond me...I've seen him before, I knew he was good, but he's even better than I thought. Just caught the end of the Sunday Game last night as well....you'd have to wonder what planet some of them are on. 2 weeks ago, every single one of them that was on that night tipped Kerry. Last night they reckoned Armagh and Tyrone were 'by far' the best teams in the country. I don't think they know what they're saying half the time. I was surprised that there was no coverage of the problems on the Hill and in the Nally enclosure yesterday - totally over crowded, loads (including me) never got near the stand itself - we were down on the walkway near the gate to the actual pitch. There was some hassle with some of the Tyrone supporters in that section just before the start of the game....just overcrowding basically. If you see the final whistle you'll see how quick the Tyrone fans come in from that side.....incidentally, I know all teams have Traveller fans, Kerry have them, Dublin, Cork, Armagh wherever it doesn't matter - large groups of people will always contain some dickheads, regardless of where they are from. Tyrone have great supporters, the atmosphere was unbelieveable - why do dickheads have to turn up?
Fair play Tyrone, it'll be some night in Omagh, but we'll be back - some teams kind of say that as a means of consolation, but with us, it's a fact.

From the knockout phase on there were some great games but the earlier rounds of the provincial championships were shite. The qualifiers have gone stale the last few years and the system probably needs to be looked at again. Personally I would do away with the provincial system and go for a Champions League type system with Group stage for all teams and Knockout for the last 16 onwards.
BTW, I thought that the Down minors were top class - expect another Ulster team to come into the equation over the next few years...

its just a fact of life, I've seen it first hand many's a time on the Hill at Dubs matches, before it was renovated they used to congregate near the old toilet directly behind the goal, in fact I was near enough to that section in a semi against Tyrone ( I think) in 1984 when the gougers started goading the large Garda presence in the Nally stand. The gardai, in their utmost wisdom, decided to open the dividing gate between the Hill and the Nally and baton charge the gougers. They lasted all of 2 minutes before scampering back to the Nally battered and bruised from gougers carrying large flagpoles. After that they wouldn't allow Dublin fans bring flagpoles into the Hill for a number of years.
Shortly after Jason Sherlock broke into the Dublin team I was in Navan watching a Dublin V's Laois LFC match. There were a group of Laois fans standing directly behind me hurling the most sickening racial abuse at Sherlock.
Then there was the time my brothers mate Ben fell through the roof of the Gaelic grounds in Wexford, crash landing in the Wexford dressing room wearing a Dublin jersey moments before they would run out onto the pitch..........
yeah, there's always a few...wouldn't like to go through the roof the dressing room though, that's probably taking it a bit far. The Nordies are a different breed, they fight amongst themselves more than any other supporters I've seen...then again, some of the Travellers on display yesterday would test the patience of a saint....I do prefer the Tyrone fans to the Armagh fans though...well, the women anyway, a great display of the females again yesterday.
