Tír Eoghain vs Áth Cliath '08

[clarshack]

very proud to be a tyrone man after yesterday. we were bloody awesome and hopefully we can keep that level up for the wexford game.

On most other days Dublin would have come back to make a game of it and the Hill would have been roaring them on.

What happened to them in the first 10 minutes of the 2nd half?

Just on the issue of bar stool experts who castigate players and think they know everything.  Watched the last Dubs game in my local and a group of eejits, one in particular had it in for one of the Dubs players who certainly was not deserving the loud criticism he was getting, "xyz player is a f%%%ing &***er , he is this, he is that etc."   What said loudmouth did not realise was that it was the players sister who was doing the lounge service. He was in mid sentence saying he was a uselss cnut when magically and with slight of hand two full pints of Guinness fell right off the tray she was holding and landed in said loudmouths lap

Maybe the sister is the one that should be playing if her 'shooting' is that good!!

Tyrone. Outclassed Dublin in every area of the field. Certainly that makes them favourites for the All Ireland now

Ah settle - far from it.  Kerry will be stronger favourites - 8/11 according to P Power with Tyrone at 5/2 and Cork at 9/2.

Looked at that video of Cavanagh's 'tackle.  Nasty intent but ultimately only a booking... That's assuming the CCC stay away from it after being nuetered by the DRA.  If Moran's 'tackle' on Bannon could be judged a red in retrospect then so would this one... Presumabaly we won't see that bulls***t start.

twas built up by the media and dublin to be their year ,and when it went pear shaped they didn't know what to do. I believe they naively underestimated tyrone and weren't expecting it. You never underestimate anyone with an all-ireland in his arse pocket especially whenyou don't have one.

...Tyrone are a shining example to some other ulster counties that you don't need a blanket defence to produce displays like yesterday.they were brilliant and i salute them.
Mickey Harte as well deserves to be up there with the best managers of the modern era. If only........
Anyway Adios.

Cheers INDIANA, Sláinte.

Anyways, can't wait for The Muppet Show, er... sorry, I mean The Sunday Game  Such incisive, razor-sharp, analysis and clinical game and team reading!

I dont think any team would have lived with Tyrone yesterday . It will be any easy one to analyise . The Dubs looked as bad as our boys did in the 2001 semi final against Meath. How will Tyrone cope with Cussan ?

I was talking more about their predictions in relation to yesterday's game John, like "Tyrone are like Armagh and are running on empty too, and Dublin will win with something to spare" (Kevin Mc Stay).

Regarding how we deal with Cussen: nice try, but we're not to be fooled 

[paddypastit]

Don't anybody be worrying about Cussen - Sligo completely blotted him in last year's QF.  He's no Donaghy or Cavanagh... or even a Bergin

Oh yes indeed alot of pundits did indeed have Tyrone written off . Did even any Tyrone fans expect the margin to be as big ?

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Cussen is a dangerous enough player, no question (particularly on the edge of the square), but we're in no position yet to be worrying about him -- there's the little matter of a very tricky assignment against Wexford, and that's more than enough to contend with at this point.

Did even any Tyrone fans expect the margin to be as big ?

No John, absolutely not. I felt that if we could raise the game (as we did), we'd win by an absolute maximum of 4-5 points, and it's fair to say that the vast majority of us are still in a degree of (very pleasant) shock.

You're just too considerate RLL 

[Main Street]

 
RLL you can't attempt to make some payback for the Dubs using the currency that another team earned, can you?

Phenomonal performance yesterday, and just goes to show that there's plenty of class in that team yet. This team just keeps giving and giving. To think that before 1995, when i was 17, tyrone had played 7 championship games in HQ, and lost 6 of them, we donn't know we're born. All credit really must go to MH. In the entire time he's been manager, i can only think of 1 game that he may have made the wrong call, but in reality what do i know about it.
Great day yesterday, atmosphere was superb, and any dub i encountered was gracious in defeat. Most even stayed, when the game was really up with with 3 unanswered points after the half, and that's hard to do. Must say gutted for them, as that must be one of their most disappointing days in championship football. God knows we've had plenty.
Funny old championship, i think all we know is that Kerry are quality, on their day tyrone can take anyone, as could cork, and wexford are strong and improving, with a great manager. Wouln't be surprised if any of the four took it.

On a final note, I will firstly admit there were a few negatives in theTyrone performance, but none more than you get from any team, and to all the begrudgers i would say, if you can't watch that match and concede that Tyrone played brilliant, entertaining, committed and skilful football you're an idiot. It must be hard to be so relentlessly churlish and negative, and if you didn't think that was entertaining football, you've no place on a GAA discussion board.

And if you're on a wind-up, well done.
