Whoever wins they will be the first team since Cork in 2010 to not automatically qualify for the Quarter Finals and win the All Ireland.

I'm assuming when you say automatically qualify for a quarter final that means having to play a preliminary playoff game or back door game to qualify for the quarter final? Kerry and Donegal both won their provincials which in previous formats like 2010 would have automatically qualified them.

The last 2 years have resulted in two firsts when it come to all Ireland winners. Armagh won the all Ireland last year without winning their provincial championship and without having to play a knockout preliminary/back door knockout game to reach the quarter finals and this years winner will be the first team to win it having won their provincial but having to play a knockout game to reach the quarter finals.

Armagh's All-Ireland was also historic in that none of their players had a provincial winners medal.

It was also historic in that they were officially the weakest team to ever win the All Ireland.

Some said the same about Tyrone in 2021 despite having to beat Cavan, Monaghan, Donegal, Kerry and mayo to win it. Armagh beat the likes of Derry, Galway and Kerry from the top of my head last year.

But they are nowhere near those strong Kerry or Dublin all Ireland winners in the past who had to beat the likes of Clare/limerick or Louth/offaly to win their provincial and reach a semi final.

Tyrone / Re: Tyrone County Football and...

Last post by Truthsayer - Today at 12:21:15 AM

I find it bizarre reading some of the comments about tyrone. You'd think we were odds on favourites to win Sam and won't get as close again according to some.

Not one person would have fancied us winning sam at the start of the year. Despite the mixed performances and the 1st year for this new management team we reached the semi final.

With the exception of Kerry and Dublin I can't imagine a county where the expectation levels from both those from the county and those from outside are so high.

In the last 4 years Tyrone have won a Sam maguire 3 u20s a minor championship as well as 2 school all
Irelands and In the 1st year of new management they reached a semi final. There's Tyrone ones going on like it's a disaster and there's ones from neighbouring counties who could only dream of their county doing that but laughing at Tyrone for not winning more. 

There are a few like that. I think most people are realistic and see the improvement.

Similar to Armagh... Clare hurlers Shane O'Donnell and Tony Kelly won All Ireland medals in 2013 and 2024, have never won a provincial medal. Clare's last Munster title 1998.. just saying 🤷

I think despite wonderful service that McCurry has given that is the last time we will see McCurry start for Tyrone.

A bold statement, He's still only 32?  started all bar two league/Championship games and was Tyrone top scorer this year with 0-61.

David's biggest battle might be in 2 weeks.

Jimmy will have a plan.

If Clifford can pull Kerry over the line against this Donegal side, then he's in the running for one of the best ever.

Keendey Mark. Kennedy caught the ball had control of it and fell then lost the ball on hitting the ground. The ball only touched the ground after it squirmed out of his hands.

It was a mark the rule is clear. As in 4~5 cases regarding Tyrone yesterday Cavan Joe was wrong.( Glad he is retired now)

"Rule re Mark
 2.12 Mark The Referee   shall award a Mark in either of the following circumstances:   
(i) When a player catches the   ball cleanly from a kick-out,   without it touching the ground,   on or past the 45m line nearest   the kick-out point....."

nothing about balls cleanly caught sqwirming out of hand after a player falls.

Castletown were possibly the worst prepared senior team I have ever seen.

Portlaoise were good- maximizing a limited bunch. Ballinakill likewise.
Castletown were shocking.

I'm not trying to make a dig at Armagh but it's actually crazy that a team that hadn't won a provincial in 16 years went on to win the all Ireland. In that time Monaghan (2) Derry (2) and Cavan have won Ulster. There's donegal men with 4 or 5 Ulster medals but with out the big one although obviously that mightn't be the case in 2 weeks time.

In fairness to those Armagh lads they won't be looking at their all Ireland medals thinking if only they had an Ulster medal as well. There is many great footballers on the other hand from many counties who would look at their provincial medals and wish they had won an all Ireland medal.
