Cacs - At lease Down didn't wait 119 years of the association before winning anything! And as I've had to remind a few Tyrone folk on here lately, we didn't need the back door either.

Have you not got two All-Irelands more than them too ?

Ballybannongael, Down haven't been good enough to win anything during the backdoor era! ;)

I feel the game Sunday will be a tight affair with perhaps a draw the value call at 8/1.

Tyrone name a strong team to play against Armagh. Great to see Martin Penrose, Dermot Carlin and the McMahon's both back in the first 15. Should be tight one, Armagh really are a dark horse and its anyone's to play for.

Thats obviously correct. No denying it. We weren't good enough to win anything for the 10 years or so of the back door era. Then again. Tyrone weren't good enough to win anything for 119 years!

That is correct, we have two more.

I have been alive to see my county win Ulster twice and go on to lift Sam in them same years. That's more than any Tyrone fan can say :)

I think the winners of Donegal and Derry next weekend will go on to win Ulster. Can't see Tyrone or Armagh stopping these teams and as for the other side Down will provide the opposition in the final.

def a great little footballer was a credit to his county today....

Clarke could not be handles, he roasted his marker McCrory and was sublime on the ball. Sure wasnt Peter Canavan only a wee little fella too? Great skills, speed and awareness, Clarke isnt too bad either.

Armagh will build their team around Clarke,definitely beginning to fulfill his potential.

Semi Final Venues Confirmed by CCC Down vs Monaghan will be held in the Morgan Athletic Grounds. In the event of Derry vs Tyrone the Game will be held in Casement, in the event of Donegal vs Tyrone the game will held in Clones

well hopefully Clones but we have no fear of going to Casement but prefer the home of Ulster football Clones!!!!

I thought both Tyrone and Armagh played brilliant football yesterday, and were a credit to Ulster football.

Derry will stick it to Donegal next Saturday evening, but i think Donegal will prevail, as they have a very strong squad.
And as Brolley said yesterday, Tyrone and Donegal are the top two teams in Ulster. But Donegal are the only team capable of matching Dublin or Cork at present.
Although i disagreed with his comments about Down.
