Had Tyrone gone long as much in the games against Cavan & Monaghan as they did on Saturday night?

Are you still hanging around the Div 1 thread, Itchy?  You're a dead man walking.

I am, just to see who's coming with me.

U got a Galway club team playing great attacking fball,  playing to their strengths. With the fball ability available to Kevin Walsh should he not try to get away from that defensive shit.

Oddly enough, there are similarities to the way Corofin and Galway (and many county teams now) play. Often times playing across the back, playing laterally, until someone breaks forward at pace and then a quick interchange of hand passes followed by a score. Corofin just do it better than Galway though.

I've been as stern a critic of KW as anyone, and the performances this year v Rossies (FBD) and Kerry (both in Tuam) were very poor. However, there was much better balance between defense and attack in Castlebar and last Saturday wasn't the worst I've seen either. Maybe he's finally getting the compromise right and hopefully a few incoming Corofin players and eventual injury-returnees will boost things further. Hope they go to Omagh now and have a right go. Momentum at any time of the year is no harm.

Corofin kick pass the ball up the field

Tyrone v Galway should be a good match . All to
play for. Will any of the Corofin contingent be available?

Will Galway be actively trying to win this one or strategically is it better for them to lose like the Monaghan super 8 game last year? It's hard to know with Galway! 

Mouview is optimistic about the footballers so Tyrone could be in for another learning session.

Bring bck Connolly!!

is Gavin going to fall  by his own ego .
he has got so much right over the last few years has he begun to think he is infallible and ignore the most obvious solutions rather than his own much cleverer ones
Rugby Joe could be falling at the same fence as well

No, we are hoping Saturday is a watershed moment - he caught Dublin....and everyone off guard.

Remains to be seen if Harte will follow that up against Galway with something on the line. Somehow I suspect he'll revert to type and it'll be hell on Sunday.

Mickey Graham said that it would take Cavan a while to get organised

Looks like no one has told Kerry that they are more or less into the final already. Probably the strongest team they have picked so far this year which is good news for Monaghan and not so good for Roscommon.

Tyrone have been kicking the ball in throughout the league. It wasn't noticed by many in the first few games as the ball didn't stick. It was much more successful from the Monaghan game on when Mattie moved up there.

There was more kicked on Saturday night than the other games as Dublin push up and there was more room. Galway will be much more defensive so there won't be the same opportunity to kick early ball in and Tyrone will have to be more patient.

Rhus picking a team to make sure we go down

Rhus picking a team to make sure we go down

Or picking a team that makes sure we don't get to play in a pesky league final. Yeah, it's an FBD selection but that's the way it has been all along so not surprised really with this. Still is a good team though. Last week we had couple of lads selected that were lost but still won. That's the way with us I'm afraid.
It's a rubber match for us. A chance to give a few lads a spin. Monaghan should win but even if they don't they will probably be safe. On the other hand we could still win this.
Edit: On reflection this is probably a better team that started against Kerry.

We've done a much better job than ye of avoiding the "pesky League Final" Moy
