Even before the 2010 champ'ship started I felt that Tyrone have another AI in them and I'm beginning to feel it might be this year.
As good as Cork and Kerry are, I cannot see them outdoing that intense organization of Tyrone for a full 70 minutes. I might be wrong,
but at their best I have never seen a better team.

It is obvious that Patrique has an obsession with Tyrone and actully loves Tyrone!

Its a bit like the teenage boy who fancies a girl and instead of asking her out her acts the hard case around her and knocks her back!

We love you too Patrique.. xoxox

Have to agree with Pat here (even if his post stinks of jealously)

Watching Tyrone over the years has been hard to stomach. Its very hard to remember an entertaining game they played in?
Most (in not all) of their games are damp squibs.

What Tryone done, was took the Armagh blueprint from 2002 and just made it more cohesive and probely more difficult to watch.

As I stated before, Tyrone have 3 All-Irelands, thats the same as Louth. So they are on a par with Louth in terms of footballing tradition. However, the bit of succes has resulted in widespread case of bloated heads among Tyrone supporters.

Omaghredhand, Im just giving my opinion. There is no need to go attacking Galway because of it. If you want to talk about Galway, do it on a Galway related thread. I would only be happy to discuss the relevant history, success and football traditional concerning the 2 counties, but i'm afraid you may embaress yourself and your county in the process. I hate this culture on here that when somebody expresses an opinion they get a remark back about their own county. The lads from the weaker county can't express an opinion at all. They should remove the county bit from under usernames

Ive said before on here that I never seen an attacking display of football like I saw at the McKenna cup final in 2004 between Tyrone and Donegal. I know its only the McKenna cup but they were awesome that day. Some of the passing and movement was on another level. Its rare that the opposition fans stay to the end of a game when they are getting completely trounced but thats what happened that day, Tyrone were clapped off the pitch by the Donegal fans.

The funny thing is that Donegal didnt even play that badly but werent in the same league.

Sadly that was the last cup that Cormac McAnallen would lift and we never got to see the same Tyrone team play in the cship that year

Tyrone are more like the German soccer team. Great minds and work effort, skillful and should they lose can do so gracefully. Vosprung Durch Tecknik, aye sir.

Joseff I know you say things to be deliberately provocative but Tyrone not being involved in any entertaining games:

2003 v Down drawn Ulster final
2005 v Dublin drawn quarterfinal and replay
2005 v Armagh semi-final
2005 v Kerry final
2008 v Kerry final
2009 v Dublin national league opener

All fantastic games, prob some of the best in the modern era. Even some of the games they lost such as against Meath in 07 and Cork 09 were decent enough games from recollection though i've tried to erase these from my memory!!

What games in recent history would you consider to have been entertaining?

just because other teams dont seem to be able to respond to tyrone's style of play and shut it down, doesn't make a game boring. it simply means that tyrone are superior to their opposition, at least for now anyways, we'll see how it goes when they face the stronger teams. but i can bet you when tyrone face the likes of cork or kerry or a team of that caliber, mickey will have a new gameplan...an even better one.

Goodfella, you found them games interesting because you were supporting a team which serves to increase the entertainment value. As a neutral I didn't find these games that good. The 2009 league clash with Dublin was the exception.

In relation to your question? The Connacht final of this year is a perfect example. Watching it was a delight compared to what happened the same day up north.
Others include, the Kerry-Cork clashes this year, the Leinster final and the munster final.

Its interesting that you haven't claimed any of the Tyrone games this year were entertaining? I wonder why that was ha.
And the fact that you picked 6 games from a 7 year period shows how bad they are. Tyrone probely played about say 10 games in the league and Mc Kenna Cup each year and we'll say 5/6 at least in the championship.

Thats a total of say 110 games. Of which you say 6 were entertaining. (I dispute the figure of 6, much lower in fact)
Enough said.

OMG what the hell are you on about. Two poor teams (yes I know that makes Galway even worse, I am aware of same). Roscommon scored 14 points, 10 from Shine, of which 7 were placed balls. Tyrone scored 1-14 from 10 scorers and only 3 were placed balls. Basically Ros are a one-man band who will be easily beaten in 1/4 finals. Tyrone are an excellent team who will be there/thereabouts in September.
Sligo meanwhile are a good team on a small tight pitch. However should they get to 1/4 finals they will also be found out in croker, similar to when they got hammered by Cork a year or two ago

Bearing in mind that you admit to no longer watching Antrim hurlers


Who told you that? Or did you just have nothing to say?

------------------------------
Jaffa cakes with a Latte, boys you're showing our county up, no wonder respect for Tyrone is hard to come by these days;o)



Now now, Brendan, if the lads cannot come up with an argument to contradict me, they obviously agree with me.

No harm in that.

Joseff I picked a number of high profile games at random which I thought non-Tyrone supporters might remember. I do believe that the majority of neutrals watching the games I mentioned could not help but enjoy them. They were mostly all high-scoring, tight and dramatic games, maybe that's not your idea of good football?

Furthermore I did not state that my list was an all inclusive list of the entertaining games Tyrone have played, simply it was a few games of the top of my head. Your point on the 110 games played etc is laughable and logic strained to the extreme but then i've noticed this trait in your previous postings.

Tyrone's games this year have been good, the inability of the opposition to match Tyrone is the main reason they werent overly entertaining thus far however I have still enjoyed them.

Of the matches you've mentioned I definately enjoyed the Cork-Kerry clashes, only saw highlights of the rest.

Ah theres just no talking to some of youse boys. I think most neutrals will agree with me that Tyrone aren't the most exciting team to watch.

But anyway Goodfella, it looks like we are going to have to agree to disagree.

Can't remember the poster above on about the Connacht final. Just because the two teams aren't power houses doesn't mean the game is poor.
In terms of entertainment was miles ahead of the Ulster final, thats my opinion and the genaral opinion nationwide.
Anyway, you'd be better focus on Donegals problems and not worry about anyone else. Having the best full-forward in the lands and not giving him the ball. Maybe you'd be better at explaining that than for us?
