I clarified that mate. As I said it started two weeks ago. Did you not understand? I made myself very clear and was proven perfectly correct.
Sorry I didnât realise that anyone actually takes him seriously anymore.
He changes his mind so he can claim that it was ultra competitive. It started with Monaghan beating Fermanagh by nine points and Donegal beating Antrim by 16 points back in May.
If we all discounted the non-competitive games in all the provincial championships over the years theyâd all look great.
Munster is insanely competitive this year. All Ireland quarter finalists & all Ireland semi finalists dumped out all ready.
Very unfair on the Munster teams, when the big teams in Ulster get to batter cannon fodder. I mean there wasnât even an all Ireland semi finalist from Ulster last year, nevermind one knocked out in first round!!!

I called the three games as dead rubbers before hand. Itâs nothing new that Antrim and Fermanagh take the odd hockeying in Ulster. Half of Derryâs player just decided not commit either this year which didnât help. Apart from that the other 6 counties will be very close to each other.
That happens almost every year.
Sure you could say the same with Munster, Leinster from 1995 to 2005 and Connacht.
The problem is Kerry batter every team in Munster. Dublin batter every team in Leinster. Connacht has became more competitive now but Ulster remains the only province where 5 or 6 teams have a chance every year.
Incorrect. Only Donegal, Tyrone and Monaghan have a chance to win Ulster.
Incorrect. All those sides have had big scares from other sides in the past few years. Irrespective, itâs three times the amount of teams who are genuine contenders in Leinster or Munster. Just watch the handicap markets for the Leinster and Munster finals this year.
And none of them have a chance of winning the All Ireland
When was the last time a Connacht side won an All Ireland mate? I believe only one team from Connacht has won all Ireland in the past 60+ years.
Scares count for nothing, even more so when you were the one claiming that Cavan drawing with Tyrone was negated by a hammering the next day out.
The bottom line is that Only Donegal, Monaghan or Tyrone have won an Ulster final in the last the last eight years. The last time a team from outside that set of three even competing in an Ulster Championship final was 2012 and there hasnât been an Ulster final that didnât feature Donegal since 2010.
Added to that thereâs no sign of this coming to an end any time soon.
I never claimed that, m8. Youâre saying I did.
Galway in 2001 mate.
Donât be so tetchy as Iâm not having a pop. Itâs cyclical. Ulster will come again and it wonât too long either but they are just going through a period where they have no All Ireland contenders.
That doesnât mean their own battle for the Anglo Celt wonât be gripping.

As I said I never claimed Cavan scared Tyrone mate.
There are more All Ireland contenders in Ulster currently than Connacht.
Weâll have to agree to disagree on that one mate. In my opinion there is only one between the two provinces unfortunately
Are you denying that you claimed the draw was cancelled out by the hammering the next day?
Unless Iâm mistaken in the other five years there were three only three games decided by less than five points:
2012: No scares for the big three
2013: Monaghan only beat Cavan by a point
2014: No scares. Tyrone hammered Down, as Monaghan did Armagh, in a replay making the drawn game irrelevant.
2015: Monaghan only beat Cavan by a point, Donegal beat Derry by two points - never looking in serious danger.
2016: Tyrone hammered Cavan in a replay making the drawn game irrelevant
Iâm denying saying Cavan gave Tyrone a scare last year as Iâve clearly stated for you before. Are you having issues understanding that?
No dude. I clearly said that scares count for nothing and pointed out that the draw between Cavan and Tyrone could not be included by your own standards.
What are the scares involving Tyrone, Donegal and Monaghan since 2012 that you were referring to in that case? Iâm sure I must have taken them into account already here.
