Joe the fact of the matter is, we have bottled any meaningful game vs tyrone In the past ten years. We haven’t got it between the legs to deal with them mentally. I don’t think we will meet them this year but if we do I fear for the worst.

I agree with some of the sentiments that we seem to be concerned when playing Tyrone as I thought the same when we played them in the league this year. However, to say we bottle it against them everytime we have played them in the past ten years is inaccurate as we beat them in 2014 0-13 to 0-10.

Not entirely sure how this all changed to Tyrone playing Armagh again this year but I do hope it happens as it means we have made the ulster final and then we will see who has it between the legs

Mccurry looked great but serious performance?
Possibly as poor a championship performance from a Tyrone team as we've seen for some time considering that was a Cavan side on a downer from dropping to division 4. Normally them'uns get described as ruthless in the finish and "clinical" in the scoring against weak teams. Not what I'd describe as their usual. Tactics on the other hand...................

Good to get a home draw vs Monaghan. Well 50% at home or whatever the ratio is ;)

Seen a map there lately. Looked to be around 75-80% in Armagh.

They should mark it out properly, so all fans could be in their own county. Then again, Down would feel like intruders in their own ground.

I know its a controversial debate, but something surely will be done about lopsided championships after this year. The average winning margin to date must be well over 10 points at the minute. Flicked on to watch 30 seconds of Mayo there and they were 3-11 to 0-02 up, instantly switched off, no joy in watching hammerings like that, especially when its Mayo dishing them out (could never warm to them for some reason)

The S&C of the top teams is streets ahead of the rest
The only provincial championship that is competitive is the ulster
However even that is seemingly becoming a div 1 championship with three of four semi-finalists are div 1
If the top teams continually play each other they either survive and flourish or drop away

I have no doubt that Down, Derry, Cork, Meath have the players but have they the right setup in place
It takes commitment from players and coaches, financial support and county/club support
If one of those is missing it falls away
