[The best team]

Dublin HAVE all of these advantages:

The best team

You could have stopped there.

For years they were the only county in Ulster with an all Ireland.  They would talk about stuff nobody in Tyrone would understand

That's 57 years ago.

BBC reporting a Tyrone fan punched a female Armagh fan.

Are they reporting on the gender of the Tyrone fan?

A great and and well thought opening post.

i agree entirely. It's sad that this level of spite has become part of the game. The game is not just 70 mins but part of our culture and heritage. It's an expression of ourselves and how we like to be viewed on the world stage. It's a shame when the greatest ambassadors of this cultural expression are shot down at every turn by bitter fools. Take heed GAA fans, these attacks and constant abuse fired at Dublin can't be contained and will destroy the greatest collective prize, our pride and dignity.

[Nobody is playing traditionally anymore but Kerry and Dublin certainly play more conventional than Tyrone.]

Nobody is playing as defensive as Tyrone and they are awful to watch. There is another thread named 'hurling puts football in the shade' and there was a time I would have strongly disagreed however, it's increasingly difficult to say football is a good spectacle. Nobody is playing traditionally anymore but Kerry and Dublin certainly play more conventional than Tyrone.

Yes, thank god Tyrone are worse.

Time to hit the road to Maynooth and then train to Croker.
C'mon Ros ye can do it lads.
If it doesn't happen let the experience be a springboard to better things over the next few years.

All the best. I hope ye do it. Don't spend the mortgage money.

This match boils down to a duel over 2 competIng economic visions.

Tyrone are Brexit with their strong and stable defence, disdain for experts and snowflakes who think the game should be exciting to watch. Puke football is Puke football. No scoring forward is better than a marquee forward who won't say the rosary . Unvindicated assertions of a future of deals within the top 3 . Not interested in the customs union for customs such as kicking the ball long . Want to have the freedom to write their own regulations .

Dublin represent continuity in the EU.  Highly neoliberal with obscure funding arrangements .

Colm Cavanagh says two rosaries for every man not saying one.

Any word on how the Errigal Dromore game went?

Errigal won 12-10

[Block in 03]

Memories of the 00s:

Mugsy's goal after a few seconds in 01
Thornton's miss in 02
Block in 03
McGuigan v McGeeney in 03
Stevie's points in 03
Stevie tearing Bellew a new one in 05
McDonnell a goal hungry hoor 05
McGrane 05
Replay shenanigans 05
McGeeney pointing 05
SF 05
Probably the best game to attend, yet took days off our lives.
McDonnell again the hoor.
Bad substitution.
Mugsy didn't really want to take it.

I was chatting John Devine. He wan't impressed at all. Said he had it covered and Gorrmley stole his moment being the selfish Carmen b**tard he is.

Stevie O'Neill scored 2-05 for CNG this evening, too late for a call up to Tyrone squad?

To paraphrase Art McCrory - when Tyrone are playing Tattyreagh I'm sure Mickey will give him a shout 

The Tats would wipe the floor with them.

Any word on Pomeroy apponting a big  name manager??

Yeah Bigus Dickus

Which element of my calculation is wrong?

Maybe none of it. I don't know as it's guess work.
I'm just stressing that Croke Park is well able to hold this double header with excess.
In my experience QFS being a sell out, even double headers is very unusual.

I don't see what it should not sell out.
Each Ulster county would bring 12-15K anyway, you'd have some general interest bringing 4-5k, and then 35,000 Jackeens. Some of the latter are only buying tickets today as they were slow off the ball on Monday.

That's very convenient. it work's out perfectly for a full house.

There's no doubt there's a big crowd expected but a full house will be over expectation from any quarter.

I imagine that there must be a serious amount of Dubs staying at home for this fixture because I thought this double header would be sold out by now.

Interest in Armagh is massive whilst a good few Tyrone fans are probably saving themselves for the semi final. I still think it will sell out though and most people will stay for at least the first half of the Dubs match or at least for as long as it is competitive.

80K seats. There was no expectation it would be a sell out.

There will be plenty of small bags of Colombian marching powder floating about on the Hill.
No issues there as there are all smaller than A4 size
