All true. You would imagine that if he is as good as he is meant to be, West Ham are hardly going to tear up the contract if he plays the game

Canavan especially looked like he was off balance ALL the time.
If they can get the spread of scorers going...then who knows.
McCurry is hot and cold at the best of times, probably passed his best. Generally reliable from frees if you take last weekends game out of it. Canavan has skill to burn, but I think he's too small against these bigger well condition teams. When you say he looked off balance, to me he was just getting out-muscled. He's still relatively young so time on his side to bulk up. McElhone to me is the most dangerous option - fast and direct. Was the liveliest forward on the field when he came on against Dublin. I see the temptation in holding him as an impact sub, but its a tough call that.
The problem Tyrone will have is that they don't have those big physical forwards, like Clifford, who can win their own ball, take men on and score off both feet. Matty Donnelly is probably the closest they have to that type of player, but he won't get 6/7 points a game. Not many teams do have that player to be fair, but Kerry have a huge advantage in terms of forwards available to them compared to Tyrone.
The way to limit them, will be to stop the supply - so once again kickouts will be key and possession in the middle 8 area vital. Tyrone have big men in the middle but given how Kerry performed against the Armagh kickouts and Morgan's dip in form, I'd say they will struggle.

Have we ever had as much northern (northern half of the country) representation in an All Ireland quarters as this.
You could draw a line from Donegal to Dublin and all counties are in the quarters.
Donegal borders Tyrone - Tyrone borders Monaghan and Armagh - Monaghan borders Meath Armagh and Tyrone - and Meath borders Dublin and Monaghan.

Somebody in Foreglen actually lost their house as it was in the line of fire plus Foreglen petrol station. 15/20mile of farmland So i can't see the benefit of blocking this, it will be eventually build. How many if these blockers are due hard unionists?

How many teams have ever beaten Dublin and Kerry in the one year? Us in 02 and Tyrone in one of their years? Not too many more I'd say. Neither of those will fear anyone coming through that prelim draw.Quote from: Cunny Funt on June 18, 2025, 08:11:16 PMNeither Meath nor Monaghan are weapons grade. They won't get anywhere near Sam.Quote from: seafoid on June 18, 2025, 05:42:24 PM2 weeks of rest aren't going to make much difference to Meath or Monaghan.
Disagree. The rest will give both a better chance of winning their All Ireland quarter than if they had three matches in consecutive weekends and then playing a rested opponent.
Quote from: Truthsayer on June 15, 2025, 01:41:40 PMTempting fate but can not see defeat today. Cavan are poor and how they beat Mayo is a mystery. Mayo mustn't have turned up at all. If we don't bate Cavan, be better off out of it...
