Lucky win for Tyrone. Monaghan had their chances to win and will be kicking themselves more so when they watch that game back.

Tyrone did not play well today. Some poor performances by big names.

Yes, it was a poor Tyrone performance and a very poor quality match. Monaghan will be gutted, that game was there for them.

I can't see a scenario where Tyrone beat Dublin. But it's nice to be back in the final.

Wouldn't be a Tyrone match without a Cavanagh dive!!

You'd love to have him Screen!

I dislike him a lot but would love it if he was an Armagh player

Two frees given were the difference, one close to half-time and Cavanagh's dive. Seemed all 50/50 went Tyrone's way.

Tyrone had plenty of wasted chances and were the better team, if we're honest.

Wide count was the same. Tyrone took their goal chance Monaghan didn't take their two goal chances first half the difference.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

yellowcard

One of the poorest semi finals I've seen in years in terms of quality. Both sets of players seemed crippled with fear and it was riddled with mistakes. The referee had no control on the game either and also had a shocker.

Made hard work of it.  Very wasteful in front of goals.  Colm Cavanagh was again head and shoulders the best player for Tyrone.
Mc Clure a lucky boy Beggan tried to be the hero at the end instead of moving it on in. I don't know what either player was thinking shooting from where they were.
Good to be back in the final regardless!

A Pyrrhic victory for Throne with the Dubz up next

With two teams matched that evenly the ref can have a big say... and he did. The cavanagh free and the harte one in the first half. Two point swing.

Saying that tyrone should have had the game over after 15 to 20 minutes.

Shocker in seafoid doesn't understand big words he puts in sentences ;D

Puckoon

Fair play to him for attempting an original thought though.

If you were honest you would agree it was a lucky Tyrone win.

Without a doubt the referee carried Tyrone over the line, a hollow victory. Paddy Power seem to agree — they have Dublin @ 1/8and Tyrone @ 5/1.
