15 years after Tyrone wrestled Sam Maguire from the applely clutches of their dear neighbours Armagh, Tyrone Tribulations took a trip around the Orchard county to see how they’ve managed to process the ordeal. 

“F**k away off”

Mary Grimley, Armagh City

“I have to admit I’ve struggled with my faith ever since. Jesus or God said something about love thy neighbour but I just hate you b**tards. I prayed extra hard that you would lose the other two All-Irelands and my prayers weren’t answered. I have to admit, I’m wobbling here.”

Fr Peter McKenna, Silverbridge

“I’ve seen seven different psychiatrists and three faith healers in those 15 years and not one can erase the recurring nightmare of me walking towards a pot of gold only for Conor Gormley coming out of nowhere to block my path. Philip Jordan then falls over the pot and I get sent off.”

Joey Kernan, Crossmaglen

“Set one more foot on my land and I’ll blow your red handed arse off you.”

D Marsden, Lurgan

“Aye but sure we won it first. Have yous a cathedral?”

E McNulty, Mullaghbawn

“I know for a fact that there was nothing wrong with Peter Canavan. He went off cos he was getting marked out of it.”

E McNulty, Mullaghbawn

“Hasn’t affected me at all.”

Batman Ninjaman Robinson (formerly Joe Robinson), Maghery

“And another thing, Stevie McDonnell told me that McMenamin spent the whole game telling him all the Eurovision winners right back to 1958 and singing snippets from each one. Dirty tricks.”

E McNulty, Mullaghbawn
