1481083 Skillful_Bill, why are you talking about media campaigns? Im talking about what happens on the field during games. This media stuff you and a few more keep harping on about is of no concern to me. As regards mayo. There was no media campaign against mayo. It was one guy trying to influence a game to suit the team he wanted to win. However mayo were cynical in their play. Were they the only offenders? No. Were they the worst offenders? No. Are tyrone the only offenders? No. Are they the worst offenders? Yes. It is as simple as that. You can keep talking about media all you like. It makes no difference, Im talking about what I see on the field and that is the point you need to address. This crap about 'teams are as bad as each other' is actually garbage. Some teams are worse than others. Tyrone happen to be the most team that utilise it.
TheMugster, subjective and your opinion. Through out your posts you continue to make claims which are not based on any supporting facts you then claim that these are truths. You claim that your opinions are influenced by what happens on the pitch, then if so you must surely be able to back up your claims with facts surrounding Tyrone i.e. clear incidents of cynical play and compare those with facts from the other teams in the country. You can then make a rational argument as to wether Tyrone are the worst offenders? I do feel that your conclusions are distorted heavily by what is said or not said in the media. i.e. the highlighting of 2-3 incidents which have taken place in games involving Tyrone versues for example the total ingnorance of incidents in games involving say Kerry i.e. Kerry v Cavan and Kerry v Dublin.
1481183 Some of the posts on this thread are exactly why this forum is on it's knees with regards to quality of post.
100% right. I just look at topics now, if there is a certain 2 or 3 posters at the start of a thread go through 10 pages guaranteed there will be the same 2 or 3 people still arguing over something that has nothing to do with GAA.
Hi lads I think it's time to throw an ould blanket over this thread now, there is only 2 games left now in this years championships ( minor and senior football ) so let's try and enjoy them, and the black card comes in in January so hopefully that'll go a long way to cutting out cynical play if it is applied properly by those in charge.
3 games if u include the hurling replay, which definitely counts in my book. The end of this years championship has been one of the best I can remember
