"The Tyrone football mentality is complex. There was a time, not so long ago either, when they were the fire-breathing iconoclasts of summer."
"They were certainly good enough: they had the footballers, had the chances. But they never looked powered with the same ferocious self-belief."

The Tyrone football mentality has shifted, moving away from their previous role as disruptors of the elite teams.

Despite having the talent and opportunities to win against Armagh, they did not exhibit the same intensity and determination that was once their hallmark.
