Tyronemanc I think the tackle on Callanan deserved the black card. Galway rode their luck. But since '88 we have not had a lot to be honest. Some is Galway's own fault- some the GAA's. Galway last one Liam in 1988!
Tyronemanc look at the video of the match. Galway played until the 75th minute, to the end. Tyrone must do the same if they are to beat Kerry. Do not stop playing with 5 minutes to go. Keep the tempo going and you will be in with a shout.Micky Harte must keep concentrating right from the start. He cannot start daydreaming or else Kerry will crucify you (whatever about the Dublin media also)

Galwayford, I do not wish to have take away from the game yesterday, I congratulate Galway on their victory and their part in an excellent game, it is just unfortunate for Galway that this is as good of example of the hype that can be created by the SG and other panels to blow matters out of proportion.

I am sure that Micky Harte is well aware that Tyrone must play from the first to the last whistle on Sunday and even then it may not be enough against Kerry.

I wish you all the luck against the Cats in 3 weeks time.

sean cavanagh's pull down was only jumped on by Joe Brolly. Everybody knows that Joe is looking for publicity and that he gets 100k for his punditry.
Sean Cavanagh is a great player...that is the game. No black card in hurling, yet

Some of the commentary about Tyrone last week went beyond general sports chatter and veered mightily close to less comfortable territory, some of it borderline xenophobic. Tyrone are not other, they are not ogres, they are not somehow lesser members of society than the rest of us. Indeed, they are not even they. They are we. Irish people. GAA people. Sports people.
But they do have a problem and it is one they have no real interest in solving. They genuinely believe that they get singled out by a GAA public and hierarchy that takes greater interest in their transgressions than in those of others.
And when they see a situation where McCann has to answer a charge that not only hasn't been faced by other divers in the championship but wasn't levied at Monaghan's Rory Beggan for a blatant dive in the same game, it's hard to convince them otherwise.


Great article articulated much better than I could have

tyronemanc rubbish. Tyrone do not get singled out!! You just cry the most when you do get caught. I say nearly every county and club in the country has had bans. Looks at the ballinderry lads who got 48 week bans under the same rule.

Did Derry people cry and winge about it? no! Did we say the world was against us? No! Did ballinderry who are successful like tyrone with 11 county, 3 ulster and 1 AL say this was due to them being successful? no!

Get out of this siege mentality that our neighbours on the other side of the fence employ so well

Tyrone people stop crying, get to dublin on sunday (ill be there cheering for you) and stand up to these evil southerners who pick on and bully you and make it count where it matters most

I think you will find DCFC that there was huge outcry in Ballinderry and indeed appeals.

The difference is that it was internal club football in Derry and how much of it was reported in the Southern Media?

Plus I did not articulate the article, I merely reposted it.

I will be there off course on Sunday, I shall look out for you will you be wearing your Man United Home Jersey or the away one just so I can spot you?

Seem to prove the point that tyrone people go on the defensive about everything. Us against them mentality. My gran from tyrone made me use the back door of her house for months when we beat you in the qualifiers. You are a strange enclosed bunch.

i be in my red and white for derry and tyrone

Why do tyrone people keep bringing up soccer on this gaa page?

And i assume the soccer gibe was either a dig at my username or a sterotype against Derry. Either way isnt this the very type of basis that you assume people have against tyrone for another reason?

P.S People who dig at the Derry soccer thing. who cares. why not pick on Jim McGuinness for working in soccer.....THE SHAME THE SHAME!

Association football clubs in County Derry 20 population 247,132 = 12356 per club


Association football clubs in County Tyrone 10 population 179,000 = 17900 per club

tyronemanc my username is a play on words giving the perception that Derry City is classed as 'soccer only' my many who do know better.

I have never played for a soccer team in my life. Yes I do watch it and who cares if i do.

I also watch rugby cricket rugby league american football golf hurling......anything that is on that may be a good game.

If you are going to judge a book by its cover please do so elsewhere


If i where to do the same i would assume you are a tyrone man who has lived in manchester or supports one of the teams there but i wont as i dont know you or anything about you!

"I am a Tyrone man living in Manchester"

So let me get this right! I get stick about soccer due to being from Derry even though you live in one of the....if not the biggest soccer city on the planet?

DCFC I have my suspicions that you are actually a Dub as no one I know from Derry refers to the facilities as the 'Jacks', it would certainly explain your pro Dublin stance on other threads
