Can Monaghan offer anything new?
When Tyrone succumbed to Cork in last year’s semi-final, it was said that not having a recent championship history with the Rebels and not having any great cause to dislike them was as much a reason as Seán Cavanagh’s absence was for Tyrone losing. Tyrone love having a cause and however tenuous the perceived enmity between the sides, Tyrone will harness it to their advantage.
That’s why Monaghan, despite all buoyant talk of them being on a roll and being the form team, should be wary of tomorrow’s Ulster final in Clones. The bitter memory of Harte arguing the toss and the timekeeping with the referee at the end of their league encounter in Inniskeen last March could be enough for Tyrone to resurrect feelings of injustice.
