Goal for Sparky Bradley.

Cicero_Dandi · July 7, 2018, 5:34pm

Filthy from Kerrigan.

Still though those sort of theatrics are an awful spectacle.

Hollywood jobs

He kicked a lad on the knee as he was running past who already had a big strapping on the knee. Trampish.

grapes · July 7, 2018, 5:38pm

I didn’t spot that. |Anyone who kicks someones knee is a bad minded bastard. I will not condone knee kicking. That’s lowlife shit.

What’s keeping you Sydney you lunatic?

Tyrone going into the Super 8 in fine fettle - it has been an ideal qualifier run for them. Meath and Cork are miles below their glory days but they’re still big name teams and getting over them builds confidence. Cavan was another good win.

The draw has been kind them too - Dublin will beat a Paddy McBrearty-less Donegal in Croke Park next Saturday while Tyrone will put Roscommon away.

Then they have a free shot at the Dubs in Omagh - a fascinating fixture, while I wouldn’t trust Donegal to go to Roscommon and win.

I think that free shot at the Dubs could prove to be very beneficial to Tyrone in the long run in this championship.

16 fucking points

Cicero_Dandi · July 7, 2018, 5:43pm

Tyrone needed to have a comprehensive win like that to build a bit of confidence.

Bradley and Lee Brennan returning is an ideal boost. For the first time in years we have had quite a few injuries in Championship, some of them aren’t household names but it probably does have an effect in training.

Brendan Burns, Ronan McHugh, Ben McDonnell, Ciaran McLaughlin, David Mulgrew, Mark Bradley and Lee Brennan have all been unavailable before and directly after the Monaghan game.

The qualifiers have also helped Tiernan McCann and Colm Cavanagh build up their sharpness.

Congrats mate. A serious high energy cut throat team. Once again ye’re big hitters and major contenders. If ye get to the final I’ll be shouting for ye.

Cicero_Dandi · July 7, 2018, 5:51pm

Thanks pal.

Tyrone are playing better foorball than last year and the league by along wa. Definitely improved going forward.

Maybe Cavanagh was getting in the way

Anyway the will still struggle with teams who get possession around the middle alot. Cavanagh is pretty easy to blot out for a Dublin or Kerry

Well done though. So superior to Cork it’s hardly worth talking about

Cicero_Dandi · July 7, 2018, 5:58pm

We are being more offensive but I thought we were a lot more clinical last year, it might bode us well in the latter stages though.

We had all our games over by HT last year prior to Dublin, this year we have stumbled through and could so easily have gone against Meath.

maroonandwhite · July 7, 2018, 6:06pm

A goal id say… Nope

caoimhaoin · July 7, 2018, 6:17pm

Kildare motoring well. They are a bit off the top table yet but they are big and fit arena have some serious footballers

Cicero_Dandi · July 7, 2018, 6:18pm

They should have a great chance in their Super 8 group.

Monaghan and Galway are certainly beatable for them.

caoimhaoin · July 7, 2018, 6:23pm

Ya certainly would fancy them ahead of Monaghan on recent form. Fitter than Galway too

Where will they have Kerry?

Cicero_Dandi · July 7, 2018, 6:25pm

Killarney.

caoimhaoin · July 7, 2018, 6:28pm

That could hurt. Kerry are mad to show the world Cian O Neill hasn’t a clue

Kildare targeting Quigley on short kick outs very cleverly
