You were the one bigging up the strength of club football in Tyrone and the supposed weakness of club football in Derry. Errigal Ciaran are actually the only Tyrone club to even make it to an Ulster Club Final in the 50 years of its existence. Their two winning appearances were none too recent either - 1993 & 2002. Four different Derry clubs have won the Ulster Championship since 2000.
Louth won the All Ireland last in 1957. More bluster to try and deflect from a serious clamping.
Yes.
Iâm bigging up the strength of club football in Tyrone at present
You seem to think that having one very good club reflects well on the state of club football in a county. You might think that as you are a shallow fool.
Tyrone have dominated club football at intermediate and junior level in Ulster in recent years, they have returned 7 different winners in the past 8 years in the senior championship and all have competed admirably at provincial level. Itâs the greatest definition of a meritocracy as youâll find.
A quick search of Wikipedia reveals that Monaghan have actually done slightly better at Junior level but Tyrone are far ahead at intermediate level so fair enough.
Itâs easy enough to look like a master debater when youâre a Tyrone man debating with a Derry man about the past 20 years of GAA.
how can say any county side is a disease in ulster? sure you are always bigging up the ulster championship as the one with no soft draw, now you are coming up with diseased inter county sides with processions of club football in counties in the province
Pity you werenât big enough to answer the question yourself
Oooft. Yet another clamping for billy bullshit 
Derry have a massive disadvantage in that the city is a GAA wasteland. Their numbers are very small when you consider this . Also club hurling is relatively strong in derry.
Nah I reckon the Italian is slaying here. This is Romansâ v Carthaginians.
Some fascinating back and forths here
Wtf are you talking about. You were lapping up sidâs tripe about junior and intermediate football. Cicero_Dandi has chickened out of answering a straightforward question about his beloved tyrone and yourself and Tassotti are mentioning his debating skills.
With regard to Cross I would generally see them as a negative to Armagh football.
While the Cross golden era did coincide with an Armagh golden era, it was important to note that Armagh were under a Cross man. Subsequent to Kernan leaving saw Cross continue a golden era as Armagh fell off the radar. There is currently big commitment issues with Cross lads for Armagh and itâs not good for the county.
Players opt out of county for Armagh to focus on winning All Irelandâs with Cross, the club Championship in turn was very uncomptetitive, there were a few decent club sides in Armagh like the two City clubs, Cullyhana etc that could put it up to Cross but invariably folded when it mattered. Now itâs coming back a bit.
South Armagh has effectively been the lifeblood of the county team for the past 15-20 years but there has been some great success in North Armagh lately. St Peters won a Hogan Cup this year and there definitely seems to be a higher yield of underage players from this area recently. I think itâs turning around, overall McGeeney has had a positive effect, it was unfortunate for Armagh that so many key players were not available this year.
I think itâs similar in Galway at present, Iâd imagine Corofin getting knocked out earlier would have a huge positive effect for Galway next year as there are a number of players in that side that could no doubt improve the current team but have not been in a position to fully commit the last few years due to club duties.
think you have a few dual clubs too Ashman not just slaughtneil
of the derry all Ireland winning football team, a load of them played senior inter county hurling at some stage. Did Brolly ever puck ball at club level I wonder??
Because Derry lads have no interest in playing for Derry, itâs their problem and they donât seem to want to fix it but itâs a shame as Derry are capable of making some great strides if they showed some unity. The players are there but there doesnât seem to be any heart or passion to play for their county, they are far too interested in settling old scores and prying on their more successful neighbours.
He sure did .
You can answer your own loaded questions. Iâm just pointing out that they bear no relevance to the debate at hand.
u have just given the ulster championship another kick! as well as derry been diseased, Armagh are playing without a heap of their best players
Kieran McKeever and Seamus and Henry Downey off the 1993 All Ireland winning team were inter-county hurlers. There could have been a few more as well. Geoffrey McGonigle a little later was an inter-county hurler as well.
Yes.
Iâve made this point numerous times and with all this at play, Ulster counties still perform far and above the levels of the other three provinces.
decent minor team last year? got to the AIF
