Tyrone v Monaghan Quarter Final

tyronefan · July 27, 2013, 10:20:25 PM

This is a draw both teams will be happy with and either will think they can win . Monaghan will feel they have a good chance against Tyrone and Tyrone will feel that this is one of the easier teams from the other side of the draw.

Game at 5-00pm this Saturday followed by Cork v Dublin at seven.

Tyrone would have taken the extra day (Sunday) for this match.

I have a horrible feeling Tyrone will make this years AI final.

And they've had a very recent run out in Croker.

I have a feeling and horrible it ain't. But Monaghan will have to maintain the performance of the Ulster final and Tyrone will have to up it, because Sean Kavanagh won't have the kind of influence he had today.

Tyrone will be delighted with this draw.

The pressure is on Monaghan to back up their win last weekend.

Tyrone not playing particularly well.

It'll draw a good crowd.

Full house next Saturday evening ?.

Brilliant draw for Ulster! Guarantees at least one Ulster team will contest the AI semi finals! The Gaels of Armagh and Derry will once again get the opportunity to cheer on Tyrone, or Monaghan

I have the feeling that the only way to finish a tyrone man is to get him down and stake him like Dracula. they just wont go away

they're playing some horrible stuff and nobody is shining in any great way but they could rattle through to a final. monaghan have a cup and I think they'll be happy enough although malachy could have other ideas. tyrone to stumble on for me

The vast majority of Derry and large parts of Armagh will be cheering on Tyrone for sure......

We owe yis bastids one!

Can't wait!

I'd be more than happy with that draw from a Tyrone point of view. Winning is a great habit to get into and we've been getting over the line. Reminds me a bit of 2008, winning but not impressing and then (hopefully) produce a performance when not much is expected of you.

We appear to be happy to go 4-5 points up and then just sit back and invite the other team on, something I wouldn't like to see repeated. There's at least 20-30% improvement that can come from almost all the Tyrone players. Hopefully we see it on Saturday evening.

An awful lot of emphasis is being placed on Monaghan's performance against Donegal. They could very easily repeat their performance against Antrim... They won't spring any surprise on Tyrone that's for sure.

With a few days celebrations and all the distractions that come with it. I think we've got a fantastic chance. Two Errigal Ciaran men managing rival teams!

Au contraire, the pressure is all on Tyrone, we are just strutting our Ulster champions jive for another game, whilst there are ten thousand Tyronies ready to knife Mickey Harte in the back should they lose to Monaghan. The objective observer can easily credit the job MH has done to manage to get that team of hod carriers this far, but we will not underestimate the challenge they offer us.
We'll have a plan i'm sure, but we will never stoop to the cynical depths of trying to out-tyrone Tyrone.

If Monaghan's hunger has been sated by winning Ulster then they won't play as well as they did against Donegal. I think it will be hard for O'Rourke to get them up to that level again after the success of last Sunday and the celebrations and accolades since.

I expect pure agricultural dirt from Monaghan.

They're too stupid down there to spell cynical never mind execute it.
