Does anyone remember 2008; there was a team with 'twin towers'
that the media said couldn't be beat!

Well; correct me if Im wrong but, from what I remember...
they got... well, they got beat!

The AI is no foregone conclusion lads and ladies! ;)

well...two weeks into the championship and there has been some adjusting to the top ten already though things do look a bit predictable;

1. Dublin
2. Cork
3. Mayo
4. Tyrone
5. Kerry
6. Donegal
7. Derry
8. Monaghan
9. Kildare
10. Down

of these Dublin is on their own at the moment as likely champions, with cork, mayo, kerry and tyrone waiting to pounce. potential dark horses are donegal, derry monaghan and kildare

I think Monaghan will possibly make the quarterfinals. But they wont beat Tyrone. Tyrone will win Ulster beating Donegal in the final.

Gatekeeper, no harm to u, use must suffer from bad amnesia in Tyrone.
Forgotten already that Down missed a sitter of a free and it took
Sean Cavanagh's mastery of the dark arts to for Tyrone to get a
second chance in the first place??

A bit like Tyrone forgetting about over 100 years of GAA history
prior to 2003?? Are the doctors in Tyrone not doing anything to
help this amnesia??

Amnesia! Here's one 'you' won't forget for a while! ;)
Tyrone 3-11
Down 0-12

No Gatekeeper ur still not grasping it so here are
some facts to help you.It is not your fault-the Tyrone
psyche doesnt let people grasp events that took place in
GAA history prior to 2003.

While Tyrone have 3 All Irelands,Down have 5.All
won playing some brilliant attacking football,
not the ugly, cynical stuff played by Tyrone.
You see Tyrone could not play the beautiful
game the way Down could so they devised
systems/tactics to stop other teams playing.
Note the 7/8 Tyrone players bashing O Se to
a pulp in 2003 semi final.Now Tyrone won them
all Irelands and they were champions but
historians will not be as kind to them
as they were to great Down teams because
of their style of play "puke football"
you know that term.

So while Down's fortunes nose dived
when"puke football" was invented
Tyrone excelled.But alas 5 all
irelands is better than 3.

Down fans are also better than
Tyrones.Now I know that Tyrone
fans support their team wholeheartedly-
but to see the difference in the fans
we look at the way they treated the
masters of gaelic football-Kerry.
Down are 5-0 against Kerry in the
Championship and a lot of our best
days have come against them, but
after our victories against them,
playing wonderful football, we
always showed them total respect
due to their greatness.

Contrast that to the way Tyrone
treated them after battering
them into submission in the
last decade.

Glad to help you grasp GAA history
Gatekeeper, happy to help and good
luck to you!!

Lets all bow at the feet of Kerry! Get a grip man!

Puke football was a term invented by a bitter little
Kerry man; after watching his team blown away by the
mighty red-hand!
And Tyrone won what is widely regarded as one of the
best AI finals in 2005. I urge to watch that game and
then come slabberin about puke football!
Puke football LOL!

The Down lovein with Kerry is laughable, and typical of
the nostalgic, "amnesiac" nonsense of those who continue
to live in the past! If only the 'ancient' Down AI wins
were put under as much scrutiny as modern games; it would
be obvious for all to see, that... well... they just weren't
as pure, clean and great as they would like us to think!

Tyrone 3-11
Down 0-12
Enjoy the short summer! ;)

No you have to accept defeat-its a part of the
game-every teams loses.

The missed free stings though.O'Hare would
get that 98/99 out of a hundred thats the
unfortunate.Tyrone deserved to win the
second game-but Down showed more skill in
the first game and had the game in their grasp
thats what hurts.

Fair enough.

Any word on the injury to Tyrone's Ciaran Clarke?

I hear on the radio that he picked it up in a club match which will add more fuel to the fire of the club v county debate.

I hope it's not too bad, he is a fine player & would be a big loss to Tyrone.

Another match last night went to the away team
So as people always say home advantage means everything then we must be having the most unpredictable championship in living memory so far

The funny thing about this stuff you're writing about Down and Kerry is that the likes of Micko whinged about Down's spoiling tactics.

Some things never change!

I hate to say it but the football championship now starts in august for all teams except those from Ulster.
Radical reform required.
Would be nice to see a few shocks. If I bet on a gaa accumulator that might guarantee it! :)
