Tyrone support was a credit. Had good craic with a few tyrone men. Very knowledgable supporters. Its great to be competing with counties like Tyrone. Hopefully we'll meet again next year.

Not good for the heart, Kildare were magnificent they out fielded us and battled to the last but I just felt a half time 4 points was not enough of a lead to beat Tyrone thank god for Muggsy and S O'N outstanding contribution lad's this game will have helped us as CORK are another Big physical team so we should now know what we have to do, Good luck next year Kildare Lenister champions in waiting and hope to meet your great supporters next year.

I must say when the final whistle went on sunday i was a very proud but heartbroken lilywhite! I was proud because when the draw was made no one thought we stood a chance but we were there to the very end! Alot of respect to Tyrone. You are a brilliant side and congrats on the win..Hope to see you next year down in croker but for this year best of luck with the rest of the championship!

I was pleased to see the way both sets of supporters applauded the two teams when they were coming off the pitch. It was a pleasure to be present at a game of such quality and both teams deserve an enormous amount of credit.

So Tyrone, ref assisted , are in the A.I semi Final, when is this verbal targeting of referees going to stop, all the whispers about Kinneavey last week from Tyrone, re copnnections with kildare Co Board etc, obviously had an effect on him, and some of his decisions against Kildare were ludicrous.
Dermot Earley was targeted from the outset, and his attackers got off scot free, and another thing, the sniggering and in your face from Gormley to his Kildare marker left a lot to be desired.
Finally.... I was in Killarney in a well known hostelry watching the games on sunday, not one person was supporting Tyrone, and to cap it all on Monday, 4 gulpins with Rocwell shirts arrived in the bar and linked up with the Blue Army, (DUBS), gone by half time, couldnt stand the Kerry heat. Just there in typical Tyrone fashion to antagonise and annoy decent people, thankfull common sense prevailed and they fled.
As someone said, " what hell is about those people from Tyrone ... ? you couldnt like them if you reared them "" and I agree wholeheartedly. Dont think Cork will take as much sneering and in your face stuff from them, bring it on.

I wish you would just stay away SAM02.
Always crybaby eyes.
Go and dry them.
Watch the game again and you will find
that Early was questioning the ref on his decisions.
It wasn`t pleasent words either, very easy to lip read.
Was Sean C not targeted at all.
Keep up the **** talk, suppose we are used to nothing else from you.

Overall it was a great game from both teams, who give it their all.
Yes both tested the limits and both got away with it.
Maybe you forget what its like to play at this stage.
