In that case I'm expecting the 1-6 shift at work.

More importantly :nervous: is Tyrone v Kerry on?
 
One of the lads swapped Sundays with me because his baby is getting christened and I am OFF. Happy days.
 
Good thread Stuff - its an excellent day for sport if your an Irish man. I'm down in Dingle this weekend so i doubt i'll get to see any of the games unfortunately, unless of course the Tyrone - Kerry game, but not so sure if thats a good idea me watching Tyrone & Kerry in the Lions den - regardless of my missus being a Kerry native!

Carry on RHD!.... I am wed to a Mayo lass & in 1997 we were down there for a weekend ( I won it via a sports quiz on Radio Ireland, now known as Today FM). Anyway, that weekend Kerry played Mayo in the all-Ire final!... I had a Mayo flag on the car, & the "Trouble & strife" wore a Mayo jersey!.... we had a fab weekend....& may I say the kingdomites are "sound"!

Who cares,the papers and TVs will be full of it for the entire next week anyhow thanks to the abundance of Tyrone journalists around.The Irish News should be renamed the Tyrone news ,I see they now have Mickey Harte doing a column as well and as for UTV well logan has it like no other county plays gaelic other than Tyrone.The biest git never even mentioned the Derry match against Mayo,hate the sight of him

Nice prize man, if only i'd have some luck like that :(

Yeah the Kindomites are sound alright, i've been down a few months ago meeting the family etc.. had a great time... got cornered in the bogs in a niteclub by 3 lads - "so you think you're the big man coming from from Tyrone like.... blah blah blah...." - I just kept the head down, finished my pish & left saying nothing, but other than that its was alright.

I'll be avoiding niteclubs though in the future, alot of young 20-something-year-old blokes have missed out on 3 All-Irelands because of Tyrone & dont have the same happy football memories that their older friends & siblings have - so I understand some might be a little pissed - just gotta avoid them & read the early warning signs!

My Irish isnt good, but I think your saying "Monaghan to take Ulster" - cant agree after watching Tyrone move up the gears when they wanted to against them in the Dr McKenna - but of course the Championship is a different kettle of fish!

Doire & Down are better placed in my opinion & as with most years - the Anglo-Celt is the hardest to win with most teams capable of beatin each other every year!

I'm not havin a pop at ya CL, but try to put things into perspective a little: Doire beatin Mayo in Castlebar or Tyrone beatin Dublin in Croke Park in front of 80,000 - which is more high profile?

Tyrone are gettin the headlines the same way the United get the headlines, because they're the present Champions - they earned it like all the previous champions. What do you expect ffs?

Things will change if Doire win the All-Ireland, so until that moment stop complaining that we get more coverage than you - its boring & you're completely biased towards Doire!

UTV dont even mention Derry City FC half the time, they'll give you the League of Ireland scores or whatever and then not bother with the Eircom league. They only ever mention the Setanta Cup.
Although Sunday is shaping up quite nicely, think some beers on the sofa and sleep off the booze around 7 will be the order of the day

They probably dont mention Derry City results because they'll have to say "Derry" instead of Londonderry City :nono:

Where you from big lad?

Your plan for Sunday sounds the business btw - thats what i do most Sundays :cool:
 
That may be true. Aye im from Derry.
Yep Sunday should be good, plenty of matches im interested in. Especially utd and Ireland.

Don't like to see you lads getting carried away with yourselves.I had the pleasure of 8 Tyrone men in the pub last Sat night,2 of them brothers of mine,the slagging was brutal but held my own as you would expect

You're dead right - keeping our feet on the ground :cool:

Its hard not to be excited with this present squad though, & you should be excited by the Doire squad aswell, Ulster football is peaking very well eh?!

I'd say the slaggin was top-notch, we Northerners take slaggin to excruciating levels when we are all in the same room & bevvied up - everythings fair game. I miss that being down in Dublin, although the Dubs are very similiar in terms of piss-takery but they have a line - most of the time we dont!

2 bro's of yours are Tyrone men - how'd that transpire CL - if you dont mind me asking?

My Da's side of the family are all Doire - I was actually born in Magherafelt Hosp & went to St. Pius X aswell, although I lived in Cookstown!
 
All my family are Derry but the fact we spent our tender years in Omagh where my Father was working meant most of the family became Tyrone converts.I remind them of course I never deserted my birth county.Hell of alot of Cookstown boys and girls go to school in Magherafelt ,mine go to the convent fair few there along with alot of Antrim.I have an uncle living in Cookstown, now a long retired dentist in his 80s great man ,won a national league medal in 1947 with Derry.Paddy Mcerlean

Good for you man :cool:

To be honest, the local Secondary school in Cookstown (Holy Trinty) was shit, apart from the fact Peter Canavan taught there - it wasnt an option to school there. It was either Magherafelt or Dungannon & since I didnt pass my 11+, i'd no chance of going to a decent school i.e. Grammar school & St. Pius X is as close to a Grammar School as you'll get, alot of kids that passed their 11+ went there anyway - it was a great school & i've very happy memories of the place!

Our School Principal Sean O'Kane was from Cookstown as were alot of the teachers. Brian McIvor the ex-Donegal manager was my History teacher - lovely man & die-hard football fan!

We weren't allowed to go to St. Pius so we appealed & we won. There was 6 of us - all lads & football mad, so we wanted to go to the best school possible for education & equally important - football & sports!

As a Tyrone man, i'll get ribbed for saying this but i couldnt feck it - I love Doire - the County & the City, and have spent alot of my early life there or there abouts. Good genuine people - same as Tyrone. Very knowledgeable football fans also!

We all loved the Convent girls btw - there something about girls that go to a Convent. We imagine them to be dirty biches - just the way we like it :drool:

Apologies if you have sisters that go there - i'm sure they are good lovely Catholic girls :)

Thats great about your Uncle. McErlean is real Doire name eh?!

Went to St. Pius X with Nicholas McErlean from Ballymaguigan - quiet but very good chap. Lost touch with all school mates after school, college & moving to Armagh at 17yrs old - the advent of the internet will maybe make it possible to get in touch with them, which would be very sweet!
 
Not related to Nicholas unfortuantely and cant say I know him.Oh and its not my sisters who go to the convent its my daughters ,but I have them warned about Tyrone men so no worries there.McErlean is a big name in Mid Ulster especially round Bellaghy ,Greenlough ,Lavey area,can trace my own roots back 400 years or so ,my ancestral Grandfather being killed at the battle of the Boyne believe it or not.You get over to Manchester much?

Your daughters - shit, sorry mate, many humble apologies :nervous:

Always best to warn them when they're young - thats what I would do!

400 years - thats something else & pretty cool. So your family is partly to blame for us taigs losing at the Boyne & causing us all that grief for all those years :nono:;):D

Nah I dont get over much unfortunately man, i'm gonna get over sometime this season though - for the weekend, hopefully with the missus :cool:

I see your heading over for the Fulham game - hopefully that'll be a great nite for ya big lad :D
 
Another one to add to the list for Sunday, Inter - AC Milan BBC3 7pm. Obviously only being shown due to Beckham being over there but might be a good game. And gives a chance to see Inter in the run up to the CL

Great day of sport all round! I'm in prague all weekend. Hopefully i'll find a few bars screening the games.
 
Badly humiliated there today redhand and the rest of you Tyrone lads,good job Kerry took their foot off the pedal or it could have been really bad.Scenes at the end were bad and surely punishment will be forthcoming.Derry won easily ,thought I would tell you that as Logie does not like talking about Derry on a Monday night when they win.Make sure Sam is polished up for us in September
 
Care to summarise today's games for me CL? Missed all with work.
 
Well basically PJ we were brillant especially with such a young team.Barry McGoldrick was outstanding at Center half back and Derry all over the pitch were a different class,looking good.Our Tyrone friends were destroyed by Kerry in the first half ,boys against men.Kerry took their foot of the pedal in the second half and Tyrone actually made the score falsely respectable.Then of course we had the customary Healey Pk meleey ,instigated by Mc Menamin,surely something has to be done this time,that PJ is my unbiest summary of the day,except to tell you the Dubs were stuffed by Galway
 
Derry won, Tyrone lost and Dublin lost? Pretty good day all round! Seen a report on Hogan stand, appears to show mcmenamin spitting, though I'd be wary of basing it on one still.

Alright man how's it goin, hope you had a good weekend!

Yeah Tyrone were absolutely woeful. Kerry were well up for the match as you'd expect, but regardless - the Tyrone lads were absolutely shite - especially in the first half. They improved in the second half but still were pretty poor. I was down in Kerry watching it, in the Missus house aswell!

Congrats on the win over Westmeath, 14pts is very good. Doire are continuing to progress with every game so good luck with the rest of the League Campaign & of course the Championship :cool:

Funny feckers :lol:

Was down in Dingle for the weekend lads, and only got home late last nite, so this has been my only opportunity to post. Dingle Pennisula is the most breathtaking place i've ever been to. Put that on your list of things to do before ya's die lads, its unbelievable. The people are wonderful aswell & Dingle town is so nice. All pubs good vibe & friendly, so check it out as some stage if you havent already done it!

Ricey was over the top yest. He always tries to rile opponents & I have to agree with you that its not good. I dont know about the spitting incident, but he must of done something very bad to have Jack goin mental!

I'd rather have Ricey in my team than against me though. I know he's a bad cnut but you need a bitta of nastiness in your team, Ricey goes over the top most of the time though & has only himself to blame for negative publicity or the way he's become a hate-figure. He doesnt give a monkeys though, he actually loves it, so i dont see him changing anytime soon!

That two handed slap on Gouch was well out of order & he was very lucky not to get sent off or sin-binned!

Galvin's some fecker awsell though, fantastic to see him get booked for feigning injury. Him & Ricey are that bit of nastiness, but it doesnt adhere them to the public!
