yeah it was absolutly top class, Brian Dooher was amazing!!
Fair play to Tyrone, a fab performance. Being an Ulster man , I'm glad they kept the "provincial" flag flying, I was beginning to think we were slipping behind Munster & Leinster.
The Wex. match will be a dangerous game for Tyrone, as Wx's style suits playing against Ulster teams!..... However, I still think Tyrone & Kerry will shade both their semi's, but only just!
ps; Congrats to Waterford, would be lovely to see 'em win the McCarthy cup!

Make my year

Fighting talk - but i like it
Are ya goin to the game man?
I'm not bothering, limited options to be honest. Best mates from Wicklow & is an honoury Tyrone fan - pretty passionate aswell too, but he's working. So i'm left with goin with Dubs & that would just be crazy. So i'm just gettin the brews in & a few tokes & have the best seat in the house to watch all the drama unfold!
Games like this always get tensions a little high. I've taking "Stick" all week about the game tomorrow. Out of 600 staff - i'm the only Tyrone man & some folk have ripped the feck out of it but i havent stooped to that level, so to be honest & without sounding arrogant - i hope we whoop Dublin tomorrow - it wont happen, but its gonna be alot closer than Dublin fans think!
I'm gonna be trolleyed tomorrow probably before the game begins, so i'm plannin to cook a big feck-off pot of stew 2nite, to do us over the weekend - i make a fine stew Stick, - its a masterpieceand i'll take a photo & post it on Monday
We really get the best of both worlds dont we? The Prem & when its finsihed the hunt for Sam kicks off & then we've get the Prem back again - if ever there was a reason to feel great about being Irish - this is surely a fecking great one
Must be about the only fighting done by anyone from Dublin last saturday. I was in London mate and watched the carnage unfold with much beer and a load of culchie westmeath lads all around laughing their heads off. I cant say I blame them. I was afraid the big head syndrome would carry over from the Wexford game but couldn't have foreseen the destruction your lads handed out to ours. Dooher was class as were the McGuigans and you were better all over the park. I hope you meet Kerry in the final as it could prove to be a fantastic game. Dooher and OSe battling for a final shot at glory. Hats off to Tyrone but its back to the drawing board for dublin. The team that Caffery built has been shown to lack bottle
for the last 4 years. Hopefully a new manager can mix new and old and come up with a winning formula. I wouldnt mind some of that stew either! Dublin were absolutely shite. You could tell they were going to be hammered after the first five minutes. They haven't got one class player, maybe apart from Bryan Cullen. Stephen Cluxton is a disaster waiting to happen, well it normally happens once a match. The defence cannot seem to get near their men. Shane Ryan and Ciaran Whelan get totally overran in midfield when playing against a half decent team. Why Eamon Fennell wasn't playing against Tyrone I'll never know. The less said about the forwards the better.
Tyrone were absolutely class. I hope they win the All Ireland. If they play half as good as that against Wexford they will thrash them.

You must be having a shite year if you need another County to do your dirty work. Bet you were going for Dublin aswell!

Fair play man thanks for the congrats - you're a star man
The stew turned out a bittuva disaster man. Havent a fecking clue what went wrong. Everything was fresh, but there was a pong off it the next day. It tasted ok, but then i wasnt entirely comfortable eating it so i chucked it out just incase - gutted i was! Was up til the wee-hours of Saturday morn making that! Might of put too many herbs into it or maybe some of the meat was a bit dodge - feck knows, as everthing seemed spot on!
I was. I hate Tyrone and Armagh people.
You probably never met a Tyrone person!
Whats you probs with Tyrone folk anyway....... poor diddims?
And we love you too Baz 
Yes - I have met many Tyrone folk and play GAA with a load of them in Belfast.
I think they are boring and no respect for people from Southern Ireland.
They also hang on to the ball too much when playing GAA. They all think they are Brian Dooher
What a load of balls m8.
#2 Why would they give you the ball when your probably in nets
Dry your eyes out TR.
If the People in Southern Ireland voted on the top 9 counties in Northern Ireland it would be like This
1 - Donegal
2 - Cavan
3 - Monaghan
4 - Louth
5 - Antrim
6 - Derry
7 - Down
8 - Armagh
9 - Tyrone

Fair play for all the congrats lads - except for poor Baz, who seems to have a bee in his bonnet regarding Tyrone & Armagh folk
Tyrone were awesome alright, our best performance in a couple of years but we havent won anything yet, so we wont be gettin carried away - no chance!
Our defending was some of the best i've seen in years. Bravely & skillfully taking possession off the Dubs all over the pitch - hunting in packs & attacking in packs. Great to see that we still have the ability to change positions all over the pitch aswell!
Dublin didnt know what hit them. I dont wanna get cocky about the result but it pleased me to no end due to the amount of unwarranted grief I got from colleagues etc & over confidence of Dublin. Couldnt believe Tyrone were 3-1 to beat Dublin!
That game will go down in history as one of the biggest overhyped predictions in the history of our game. After winning 2 recent All-Irelands on the same pitch - its as much a home for Tyrone as it is for Kerry & Dublin - the Dubs seemed to forget that!
Anyway, its widely commented that Dublin didnt turn up which is not entirely accurate. Sure the loss of Brogan was a big deal for Dublin, but one man wont make any difference to the way Tyrone were totally focussed on this game - there was no way we were gonna lose. Tyrone didnt let them play anywhere on the pitch & Dublin couldnt keep up with us, so the performance everyone was expecting was strangled by the Red Hands!
Tyrone nullified the Dublin threat & also with equal measure, hit them as hard in attack as we did in defence - pretty proud of the boys after that performace but there's a good team in Wexford to play next & it wont be an easy game!
Good luck to Wexford - i'm sure it'll be a good game!

Veiled attempt at saying - I have booked Jurys Croke Park for September as we'll be playing Kerry in the final
You make me sick
For start mate - Norn iron has only 6 counties
Typical ignorance & lacking in Irish geography!
Did you do a quick poll in the house Baz? Would the opinion be based on All Ireland Success and the bitterness between the southern clubs and the teams from Ulster. I see you have the three most succesfull Ulster counties as 7,8,9
Why would i book a hotel in Dublin when i fecking live there - have done for nearly 10 years!
As for saying that was a piss poor attempt at wishing Wexford luck - go feck yourself - i fecking meant that - Wexford is a lovely county & very respectful sports people!
Don't make me sick... I was talking to Tyrone lads earlier and they were asking me for All Ireland tickets already.
I hope Matty Forde walks all over youse... Would be the best thing to ever happen football
Whatever
Why dont you just feck off to another thread dickhead, instead of puttin people in bad moods due to your chip-on-your-shoulder arrogance!
Oh another thing, you might wanna go see the Doctor as you seemed to have puked more times than a Bullemia sufferer
fecksake - you going on like a fecking woman - wise up!
Its Tyrone & Armagh that play the puke football mate
Didnt see too much puke football against Dublin - widely regarded as the best performance of the Championship so far, so i dont know what your on about!
Westmeath play similar to Northern teams, they defend first & foremost & gather as much points as possible in the process, sometimes they defend too much, but are still a good side & Tyrone had a hard time gettin past them. Dessie Dolan missed a goal when we were a point up with a few mins to go - that was a big let-off but it was also a good game for us to get through due to the ruggid nature of the Westmeath team!
In consideration, your dig at Tyrone & Armagh playing "Puke football" is a bit stupid to be honest. If you cant see Tyrone as an outstanding team that play, fight for each other, the Manager & the County - your being a little too ignorant & your just making a fool of yourself by running outta ways of slaggin off a good team! They play fantastic football on their day & last Saturday was their day!!
I could possibly begin to dislike the Westmeath team due to just you - but one man doesnt make a County so i wouldnt hold your ignorance against the whole of the County!
Cringe stuff there with Bertie Ahern presenting Road to Croker. Should be in Mountjoy
Pretty weird alright - couldnt see Tony Blair frontin MOTD2
I disagree with one statement. Brian Cullen is far from class. He is good with the ball in his hands but far too slow and gets found out against the better teams like much of the Dublin panel.
Fair play man thanks for the congrats - you're a star man

Ah sure better I dont eat the stew it would probably taste too bitter!! Any humble pie for dessert?
Ah now come on. Stevie McDonnel, Brian Dooher, Sean Kavanagh, The McGuigans, Peter Canavan, Ciaran McGeeny, Ross McConnell and Eoin Mulligan to name but a few of the players that graced the game for these counties in recent years. Sour grapes my friend. If you ask me they've wanted it more than most in the games they've played and that's why their slightly defensive tactics have worked. Puke football for me was watching the Kildare v Cork match where both teams were just woeful.
Sorry man - i'm all out of humble pie - I gave the last piece to my Dublin friend!Ah sure better I dont eat the stew it would probably taste too bitter!! Any humble pie for dessert?
Well said man
Your wasting your time trying to get sense outta Baz. He hates Tyrone & Armagh people - apparantly where the most despised people in Ireland, you only have to look over his posts to see Chippy McShoulder syndrome. I actually thought Baz was quite sound until this thread!
That term "Puke Football" is just another way to get a dig at better teams. Spillane used that because his beloved Kerry werent shown the due respect by lettin Kerry hammer us or even just to give them the ball - feck i hate that cnut!
Puke football in my opinion is lumping the ball - bypassing midfield - up to the full-forward line & hoping to get a catch & knock it in the back to the net - Tyrone dont do that, we dont have the big target man upfront - Seany is much more than that - we wont play that game anyway - its boring & negative to say the least!
Thats what Donaghy is there for. Dont get me wrong he's also a good footballer but Kerry most certainly play a long-ball game for large parts of the game - just like Charlton used to do with Ireland.
Spillane & other knob-ends accuse the ball passing play of Tyrone as negative as there's too much hand-passing & short-play, thats a beautiful part of the game & Tyrone are masters at it. Look at the scores we got against Dublin, so of the play was excellent - building from defence to midfield to attack - thats the kind of football i like to see, aswell as the other elements of course thrown too!
I can't see Cork coming close to beating Kerry. They would have had a chance with their full team but they can't afford to be missing players like Canty. I'd expect Kerry to win by at least 5 points.
He made Ciaran Whelan and Shane Ryan look the average players that they really are.
Some luck by Cork today. I won't even say it was a comeback as I am sure Cork didn't even think they would comeback
Quality. O Sé loses it again. I'd say a lot of teams are taking note of that. Two goals in two minutes, and a decent peno too. He could teach Ronaldo a thing or two! Masters looks like some unfit fecker though. Unfortunately Kerry will slaughter them in the replay.
After the match, Counihan looked like a man who didn't know what was after happening. Kerry were miles off today, but still coasted it. These matches are getting more and more bitter. O'Mahony made a total plank of himself. Hopefully Paul Galvin is keeping fit. 2nd time this year Cork got two late goals in a match. Luck runs out, though.
I dont think anyone saw a comeback, i thought Kerry would win by about 10pts in the end, but fair play to Cork for coming back, albeit with a bitta luck!
Interesting point of note - maybe Kerry wanted a draw so that O'Se would be eligible for the final if Kerry make it!
Jaysus, I dunno about that. If Kerry do get to the final the other side should wind up O Sé. He could get himself sent off again.
