All-Ireland Championships '09

Any of you fellow posters a Mod or "well in"with one!

There are so many GAA topics being posted here under the current thread title, maybe they might give us a "sticky" entitled GAA ( or similar name).
While they are at it maybe a sticky for the few other popular ones like rugby, golf, F1, Cricket.

Any views?

Dont see why not, considering us boys will be shiting on here about GAA related issues for many years to come - good stuff Stuff ;)

Big match this week eh up in Omagh & its on Setanta Ireland at 19.25 after the United game :cool:

Tyrone dont seem to have the fortress element at Healy park & the fans are a little irrate & expectant. I'm never really that confident of winning games there tbh!

Galway are a progressing team & with a bit more steal in defence you's will be even harder to beat this year - good luck with the rest of the year mate :)
 
I tend to not really follow stickies, and this is popular enough to be continually up there. However, renaming to "the GAA thread" or something similar would be more apt.

Oh without a doubt man - Doire versus Kerry is the top match this weekend!

It'll be very interesting to see the outcome of that game & if Doire are gonna be contenders this year. It'll be a tight game & a good scrap. I'll also be keeping an eye on incidents - Tyrone took the rap for the game in Omagh so i'll be expecting the same principles being applied in this game!

Kerry dont like playing Northern teams because we dont respect them enough to roll over. Doire are gonna give the Kerry boys a match & a half i can tell ya, they wont like playing in Bellaghy - a hotbed of Gaelic football & a very partizan football following!

I fancy ya's for this game & surely hope you win - good luck CL & PJ & dont be slapping anyone on the balls :D

To be honest not too bothered about result as long as performance is good.The work in progress sign is very visible in Derry
 
LAds - Just to tell youse all - The westmeath - Mayo game is all Ticket. Put that in your pipe and smoke it
 
Whoever wins that match - Wins that match

Whoever scores the most points - wins & whoever scores the least points - loses, but if both teams score the same amount of points - it will be a draw :eek:

If Paul Galvin gets a tap on his balls & rolls around - no-one will get booked nor banned for 8 weeks because it isnt a Tyrone man that has done it :lol:

You, (By that I mean Tyrone) need to start winding your neck in and behave like All Ireland champions. Not as if you are out in some Nightclub
 
Very quiet in here....!

Any word on Bradley CL? Apparently he played for Glenullin on Saturday and was told not to bother turning up.

Well the story is that Cassidy excused him from the Kerry match so he could play a full match for Glenullin hence improve fitness,would tend to believe it,he was at match standing close to myself.We were poor enough but I think it is coming together and by the time the championship comes round we will be contenders for at least Ulster.Cassidy is certainly not scared to experiment and seems to be commanding respect from the players that Crozier never had.Derry will have learned from that match yesterday

Alright lads whats the craic with ya's?

Bittuva disappointing weekend for us all eh, only the Dubs & the Kingdomites on here got any joy!

Tyrone were woeful, but I thought Galway were pretty good at the same time. They looked really up for it & deserved their win. Joe Bergin was a joy to watch at times & much congrats to Stuff the Goat our resident Galwegian!

Westmeath at Mayo was always gonna be a tough one, Tyrone dont get much joy down in Castlebar & i'm never too keen on playing them, especially if we need the points. Hard luck to Westmeath!

James Kielts points were sublime, he's really looking like a top-class player. I havent seen as much of him as i'd like to, so i'll be keeping an eye out for live games. Such a sweet left foot & when he knocked one over with his right - it looked like he was right-footed. Those side-line scores were out of this world!

Sorry you's got beat lads, was rooting for ya's & had every confidence in ya's. Still though, i like the look of ya's!
 
Getting rested up for you boys RedHand,watched your match on Saturday night,the weather made it a bit of a lottery

Sure thats ages away, Doire men a little fragile eh :);):)

Ricey was a massive loss against Galway - our backline was woeful - no commanding figure & gutless in the tackle. Didnt see one off-the-ball, no smack in the balls, no poke in the eyes, no shit stirring, no accusations of incest...... it just wasnt good enough :(;):D

It looks like the Tyrone lads have been resting up the past two games tbh, regardless of the weather CL.

We seem to play better away for some reason. Dont know what it is, maybe its the crowds expectation at home or a shit pitch - fecked if i know. Must look up & see our win percentage of playing at home & away past few years!

4 games left with 3 away for Tyrone - thank feck, beginning to get sick of Healy Park, for starters its always pissing down of which compounds the misery & we play shite for various reasons. Main reason being - better opposition on the day!

thanks for the fine comments RHD..... a longtime resident in Galway I am, BUT I'm still & always will be a true white & blue Farney/ Monaghan man!...... We've had an excellent start to NFL, & looking good to top D2!

Has Galway a prison? ;)

Only calling it like I see it man... a fine performance it was :cool:

Didnt know your from Farney County, Mushroom capital of the world - pity they weren't magic, still though - tasty as feck :drool:

Monaghan have made an excellent start in Division 2 alright.

You've beaten both Armagh & Fermanagh & beaten Wexford at home by 8 points - thats pretty good man. Was Armagh any use that day actually, looked a tight game - a 2 point game & we're playing those cnuts first round of the Ulster?
 
Did they have Eczema? :D

Is this the game your referring to ya ballbag :D http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/low/northern_ireland/gaelic_games/5025426.stm

Are you goin to the United match big lad?

Lucky bollox if you are.....:cool: i'm only jealous

Thats the one RHD,speaking to a few of the Derry lads,there is a confidence that has been missing in Derry County football for a long time.Confidence does not ultimately win you matches but you boys just might need to watch your back.Just sitting here chilling before I start work at 6,probably home at 3am,head to airport at 7am ,cant wait for this one the atmosphere will be electric and so will the result.A nice afternoon and evening drinking to follow,Osheas to watch the Derry Dublin match,be thinking of you all

As a Tyrone man - we always watch our backs when a Doire man's about - need eyes in the back of your head :D + :nervous:

Lucky fecker goin to the match - hope you have a great time & we get a great result :D

:devil::devil: C'MON UNITED - ITS feckING ON! :devil::devil:
 
Well Red Hand need to take about something other than United,I can tell you honestly I hate scousers a hundred times more than Tyrone men,but I do believe you were lucky against Bazs outfit,a late goal or something,we were a joy to behold I think.It was a long day in Manchester mate

feckin depressing CL, still in shock & pretty gutted, wasnt expecting that result like the rest of the football world :(

Shame you went to all the trouble of going to Manchester & didnt get the happy outcome we all hoped for, feck it anyway!

Yeah Tyrone were lucky alright, we're missing Ricey big time - esp with those 2 goals we easily conceded. Thought Westmeath played well & we're were lucky to get out of jail. I'll take a win anyway we can tbh, the league's gone already, so staying in the division is a priority & to get some form going for the Armagh game!

Watched the Doire game - well played man. The Dubs came right back at ya's - i'd thought you'd blown it - was bricking it for ya's, but thankfully you held on. You's look pretty good man, strength & skill in abundance - not gonna blow too much smoke up your arse though - dont want you gettin all cocky on me :D

The Dubs are going through a bittuva transition period, so its gonna take time for all the pieces to come together. Gilroy should be afforded the time required, and less of the stick the Dublin media are handing out: Best in the world one minute & worst in the world the next!

I take it you found an Irish bar for the Doire game, was that any craic & were there many Gaelic fans in there? I'd say there was a good few Dubs about & Nordies aswell - it was matchday afterall - every 2nd accent is an Irish one :devil:
 
I'm looking forward to the Tir Eoghain Doire game on the 28th. We were very lucky yesterday, WM did well and looked very strong going forward I thought it was dead in the water after the 69th minute. Another win we will be safe enough.
 
Says alot that Tyruin needed an injury time goal to beat a depleted Westmeath Outfit which had less firing power then a two year representing his Nursey at Archery

Pish poor game Baz. Must've been a shite weekend for you on all fronts?

I wouldnt know much about Archery - maybe thats Meath Juniors sporting prowess, but you should take a look at your own Counties performance than sticking the boot into Tyrone - you lost :lol:

Am I allowed to laugh at this red hand without you getting cross?
