ULSTER FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP 2K22

I thought maybe the Kildare Louth game would have been harder to call than the Tyrone Derry wan.

How many would have tipped Derry to beat Tyrone?

No fibbing now.

Genuinely, I would. Derry have good players and are well managed. Tyrone are not at it this year.

I would have Gallagher as Armagh manager over McGeeney any day of the week haha

Seriously.
That hand spitting hateful boll#x
Tyrone were very heavy legged

No it doesn't
That Tyrone performance was utter rank
They allowed a middle division 2 team beat them by a country mile and should have won by more

It was a poor performance no doubt, but you have to also credit Derry for their work rate, intensity and scoring.

I thought there was alot of similarity between both Armagh and Tyrone's championship performances.
Derry pushed up and Tyrone struggled to win their own kick out, with Morgan kicking at least 2 over the sideline.
They were outplayed at mid field and lost the 50/50 ball contest.
They struggled to create chances up front and alot of key players didn't perform, with McCurry, Myler and McKernan being the exception.
Tyrone were completely lacking in energy, but I'm sure will re-group for the qualifiers.

Not looking forward to the draw!

Aye, he does do that a lot. Every time he does it, I think he’s going to grab a shovel

I thought Derry might have got within 2 or 3 points, but didn’t think they’d beat them.

Monaghan will be a real litmus test now. The winner of that game wins the ulster championship. I will stick my neck on the line now saying Donegal don't beat either Monaghan or Derry

Ayrton Senna was killed that day, remember it coming on the radio on the way back down the road. Rounded off a really bad day.

This is what made me remember the Armagh game I remember being in the college grounds hearing about it

Absolutely
Can get a lot out of average players

 

[ardchieftain]

Thanks Derry, bank account boosted but seeing themuns get trounced, priceless.

 

[Muckser]

Louth v Tyrone
Mayo v Armagh

 

[PatMustard]

Louth v Tyrone
Mayo v Armagh

Is that the real draw? Or just the one in your head?

The one HQ will be trying to set up.. draw isn't 3 weeks is it?

Someone told me it's tomorrow

 

[Muckser]

Someone told me it's tomorrow

Can't be until all provincial finalists are known in case is Div 3 or 4 teams

 

[DOUGIE]

Can't be until all provincial finalists are known in case is Div 3 or 4 teams

Hmmm good point,maybe they won't come in until the 2nd round draw?

Great to see Tyrone get well beat out the gate. Back door should be fun now!! Div 2 teams are really no different to Div 1 (Kerry and Dubs aside). Hope anyone but Donegal win Ulster - would love to meet them again in back door!

Me

 

[Not too serious]

Round 1 of qualifiers will have:
Mayo
Armagh
Tyrone
Clare
Louth
Derry or Monaghan
Cork or Kerry
Dublin or Meath

It is also possible that Donegal, Galway, Limerick and Kildare could join the above, unlikely but possible. In the event there are more than 8 teams there will be a preliminary round.

I would have Gallagher as Armagh manager over McGeeney any day of the week haha

I wouldn't let him near any team. Bound to be a health warning with him the number of times he spits on his hands !!!

Top of Div 2 (Galway, Rossies, Derry) are not so different from most Div 1 teams. But Kildare v Louth showed that those teams promoted into Div 2 are not at that standard yet.
