While Mickey Harte's postmatch comments were largely admirable, especially his admission that, "God almighty couldn't have refereed that game", some of them did not stand up to scrutiny. He told reporters to "look at our [Tyrone's] record", but any such investigation shows his team in a mixed light. In the 2003 league final, Gavin Devlin applied his boot to Colm Parkinson's head. Their two matches against Derry that year were mean-spirited eyesores, especially the replay. In the infamous All Ireland semi-final against Kerry they committed 38 aggressive fouls, Colm Cooper was bitten on the hand, while in the closing minutes, the same player was caught by the jersey and thrown to the ground by Ryan McMenamin. That year's All Ireland final was an abomination, while in Tyrone's last two defeats in Croke Park, we've had McMenamin punch a Mayo forward from behind and then jump, kneesdown, on John McEntee (receiving only a yellow card each time).

Even in the closing minutes of their All Ireland triumph, something which had been preceded by over four hours of wonderful, sporting football from Tyrone, there was the depressing sight of Peter Canavan, the player of his generation, dragging down his successor to that title to prevent the Gooch creating an equalising goal. In many quarters, it was considered a smart play. In a sport with a higher level of moral reasoning, it would have been seen as cheating.

Now I'm not sure where he is from, but for those who think Kerry are cynical take a read off of this.

All statments are fact though but you could pick out instances in every county.
McMenamin is the dirtiest player in the country though.

By far and away a lot dirtier than Darragh O Se, and that coming from a man who openly admits O Se's sins.

O Se is old school belting, sure where would he be got.
But McMenamin is a different breed - Biting, Kneeing.
Simply Filthy.

Blah blah ,Kerry are saints, Im in no way bitter over losing all ireland finals to Armagh and Tyrone, BLAH BLAH BLAH, THE usual blinkered Kerry shite.

That about sums up your contribution to the board.

the only thing you contribute is humour at your own idiocy boy.
sure people were crying out for you to come back because the idiot factor was gone.

How is Wilton?
Which of the 36 counties were you in yesterday?
How did Gerry O Connor play for Newtown?
How is Niall Fitz playing for Carrigtouhill these days?
Did you book the Man Utd Team Hotel for The Carling Cup Final?

Idiot

Oh and by the way if you read the Cork-Kerry thread:

When he has he ever been happy.
Sure tis hard to be happy when you keep getting hammered by the same time for most of your career in the sport you love.
He is the most bitter and twisted man in sport.

You'd swear yer own boys were as good as gold the way he goes on.
No one says Kerry are angels, no one ever complained about Tyrone hitting and belting.
It had more to do with time wasting, feigning injury and win at all cost tactics - like kicking the ball away at the end of the all final last year.
I never once had a complaint about Armagh or anyone else.
Bar Limerick who used similar time wasting tactics.

I'd hate to see Kerry players doing that.
I don't think I ever have.

As for last years final styles - Kerry tried to build out of defence and use a fielding advantage in midfield kicking diagonal cross field balls into gooch.
It didn't work as Gormley swept in front and cleaned up.
Tryone use a direct running hand passing style which really cripples Kerry as whilst their backs are good at cutting out 50-50 balls to their men they are open to playeres running directly at them.

As for the match the last day Darragh is filthy and Tom isn't far behind him but ye have enough fellas like this yerselves and their wasn't one incident seen on the box, again despite yer bosses continous complaints.

And you can't come back with anything decent to say because (1)you realise that nothing can change that the vast majority of people on here voted use as the biggest idiot of the year & (2) you have no one to rip your opinion from.

Well Done.

seriously like is your idea of an argument to just repeat the same point over and over again?

Don't give up the dayjob.

Now this is somewhat off the point of the thread.
Lets get back to the point in hand.

Which is a sad Kerry cunt moaning about Tyrone for the umpteenth time.

Heres an idea, learn to take you beating.

Fat Tom
14-02-2006, 12:14 PM
If you had learned to take your beating you wouldn't be posting here anymore.

It was to do with someone commenting on Kerry's cynical nature.
I wasn't bitching and moaning I was highlighting ket points from a journalist.

Did you even read my posts, are have you your opinion made up before you read any of the facts.

I have nothing against Tyrone in terms of footballing ability.
They are a class side, full of class players with an excellent underage structure.

Someone here pointed out that Kerry were cycnical, I higlighted the cycnical win at all costs nature of Tyrone as written by an unbiased(?) journalist.

So am I unbiased - no, how can anyone be when it comes to their main rivals.
Are you unbiased in your comments about Kilkenny or Kerry?
No.

But I highlighted the facts.
Again - Facts.
