That's true MichaelO I enjoyed those years too, there wasn't much 'sticking fingers in eyes' but an awful lot of sticking balls in the Mayo net! brendtheredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 10897 - 24/08/2013 17:03:23 1467081 Link 0 |
Michaelo you shouldn't have brought up the 2005 final, as that game more than anything sums up 51longagos point. joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 24/08/2013 17:03:30 1467082 Link 0 |
I much prefer the so called puke football to the brainless football (and I stress brainless) they played in the late 60's and early 70's, catch, kick and hope, not an ounce of strategy or teamwork on show, dreadful stuff indeed, in fact I almost felt embarrassed watching some of the stuff on TG4 GAA Gold. kildarecat22 (Kildare) - Posts: 257 - 24/08/2013 18:01:25 1467139 Link 0 |

looking at old games on tg4 kerry were playing this a long time ago cuchulainn35 (Armagh) - Posts: 1691 - 24/08/2013 18:51:34 1467179 Link 0 |
It was probably the match that defined Tyrone football. They were terrible to watch that day, it was one of the worst games I've seen. But it is unfair that they have been defined by it. After that, Tyrone were a different animal. I think their performances in the 2005 and 2008 finals were as close to perfect as you could get, because they were up against the best team of the last 25 years (Kerry), and Kerry actually played VERY well in both matches. I get annoyed at people suggesting Kerry bottled it against Tyrone, because in 05 and 08 they did very little wrong, Tyrone were just out of this world.

"They're like a pack of wolves"! That line is with me forever. Happy Aniversary "Total Football" and thanks to the Tyrone heroes who bagged us 3 all Ireland titles with their magnificent on field football all over the pitch!

Thanks again lads for starting another Tyrone bashing thread. I wonder if they were counted how many such threads have appeared the last few weeks? Sorry state of affairs to be honest. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 24/08/2013 19:16:43 1467203 Link 0 |
Wouldn't it be nice if Pat Spillane were to go on record publicly and renounce these words and put this shameful tag that has hung over, not just Tyrone but many other Ulster counties who dared to challenge the status quo. He would certainly earn my respect. brendtheredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 10897 - 24/08/2013 19:27:37 1467213 Link 0 |
Really getting boring now all these Tyrone bashing threads, count the cynical fouls on Sunday and I'll guarantee Mayo will have just as many if not more than Tyrone. kildarecat22 (Kildare) - Posts: 257 - 24/08/2013 19:31:45 1467219 Link 0 |

People associate THAT match with defence, and the iconic clip of the match was in the Kerry half. The tactics were all about pressure and work rate. Tyrone completely overwhelmed Kerry in the first half. And as a senior team that had not achieved anything and without Peter the Great; they sat back as nearly any team would do in the same situation, such as Donegal V Kerry/Cork last year.

And in ten years time we can have a thread about the return of real football. As the puke ends this weekend. With the humiliation of Tyrone . No more all Ireland's for teams with limited talent and bringing game to a dragging diving match. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 24/08/2013 20:39:37 1467261 Link 0 |
