Off the Ball on Newstalk

Who are the lads in the studio?

Some ex-bench warmer for Laois, what would he know about serious level football?

Wooly tearing into Mickey and the ref.

A lot more than a no mark like you anyway.

Christ, that Parker lad is a bitter fucker.

Serious question nimby. Why do you think Tyrone are singled out by the free state media above the rest of the northern counties?

Are they?

It was Armagh last year. They ended up boycotting the media due to the malicious reporting on them. The problem is when a Northern county is succesful, it gets up the backs of the Southern media.

As Harte said, boxing lads in the back of the head was once an issue, but he didn’t remember much of a witch hunt against the main perpetrators of that.

Donegal and Armagh were loved as champions…Everyone loves Down- Wee Fermanagh are delightful…Derry is the town we all love so well.

Mickey Harte’s reaction when asked whether Tyrone would accept any blame at all:

Just out now, wouldn’t mind listening to Harte and Parkinson going at it.

Any chance one of ye could throw up a link please? @Rocko ?

You have been saying they have for the last 4 days.

It was McIntyre who was interviewing Mickey.

Parker would be too much of a coward to say what he did about Mickey there to his face.

really? despite the majority wanting Down to win when they got to the final a few years back? Or the wave of support the Northern teams got in the early 90s when they had a fantastic run of 3 different winnersina row and then Down kept it going? Or how Tyrone were robbed against Dublin? How much praise Armagh got in their AI win. The pundits and media couldnt heap enough praise on Fermanagh last week when they played Dublin. You’ve an awful persecution complex. Its funny how every media outlet from Tyrone in the aftermath of this incident can not go a minute without mentioning some other player or some other team or some other incident. They are unable to view this and talk about this in isolation, constantly trying to deflect and not accept what actually happen.

What is your point?

Are you claiming the Tyrone cheating, assaulting and cowardice come from the management ?

:flushed:

The problem is that the vast majority of people from Northern Ireland are scumbags

They didn’t expect us to hang around, for years Tyrone were getting the patronising pats on the back in the 90s including being assaulted off the pitch against Meath. We came back in 00s and when we got there we had no intention of going away and we haven’t gone away you know. That irks people, we’re here to stay. Tyrone will be adding to the their trophy count in the years to come, in spite of the scurrilous reporting that surrounds us.

Your problem is you feel inferior to us, you feel that if it came to a battle that we are smarter, more resilient and more resourceful and you don’t like having to deal with people on a higher level than you. I can sense the inferiority complex with an awful lot of freestaters in my dealings with them.

Tyrone people have a deep seated inferiority complex towards “Free State bastards” and this is really coming to the fore now.

Right, the northern underclass.

Why the fuck would I feel inferior to a load of Brits?
