Lads, how did Morgan go last night?
Played well.
Made a great intervention to deny a Donegal goal in the first half and pointed his only two long range efforts.
Morgan, McGeary, McShane and McNamee about the only Tyrone players to emerge with any positives.
He saw one of his players lying on the ground bawling his eyes out after having torn ligaments. Unfortunately niall misdiagnosed the problem as cramp - and proceeded to administer the usual treatment- one can only imagine the pain and damage etc.
Uber-Catholic mickey now believes in karma.
Cavan 0-14
Armagh 0-13
Another absolute cracker by the sounds of it.

Cavan in their first Ulster decider since 2001.

One of the great Ulster championship clashes
The full Breffni bowl effect showcased by the correct commentary position and dust rising up off the pitch on a baking hot day
May and June 1992 was positively Mediterranean - I was having a picnic from the back of a car at the car park at the South Wall that day listening to the various matches including this one and the place was thronged

Great to see the love for the great Jimmy Smyth - the voice of Ulster Championship

Corrigan Park also sold out for the Antrim qualifier.
I’d imagine both Clones and Newry will also go close to sell outs for the other qualifier games in Ulster this weekend. Hard to gauge Owenbeg, don’t know if it’s small enough to cater for the low number of Derry fans.
Hard beat Ulster football.
The pitch must have been like a car park the way that ball hopped. No sprinklers in those days
I was having a look at the Ulster Championship roll of honour earlier. I knew Cavan were way out front but the scale of their dominance in their pomp was something else. Of the 37 Ulster titles they won, 30 were won in the 40 years between 1915-55. They won 17 of the 19 between 1931-49 with two 7 in a row 1931-37 and 1939-45. By the time number 34 was on the board in 1955 - Tyrone (1956), Derry (1958), Down (1959), Donegal (1972) were all still waiting for their first.
It’s some fall from grace from those heights to have only won it once in 50 years since 1969.
Cavan are like Switzerland.
They stood neutral while the rest of Catholic Ulster fought a war.
Cunts.

Gaelic games aren’t very popular in Northern Ireland Geoff, that’s why Cavan dominated so easily.
Another black day for Ulster today, loads of them knocked out.
If you’re referring to the period from 1969-94, that was the precise period when Cavan fell off a cliff. The old joke about what do Cavan and the British Army have in common springs to mind.

Your Dubs are sitting very pretty @Matty_Hislop. Have you tuned into it at all yet or will you wait until these interminable qualifiers and not so Super 8’s are out of the way before getting into it?
I’m taking more of an interest in the stick hurling at the moment. All the minnow counties have been knocked out of that and we are reaching the business end. Hopefully Carlow can bounce back next year.
Unusually overcast for Ulster final day.
