Tyrone v Dublin - The return of the Jedi

[charlieTully]

Total football. Arrogance has a way of biting you on the bum. The nouveau rich are back in the bog where they belong. Auf Wiedersehen to falling Sean fairwell to Carrickmore, we have seen enough of puke football and we won't be back for more.

Fairly cringey post Charles

I thought it quite funny. Then again everything has been  hilarious today. Little amuses the mildly intoxicated.

Hats off Syferus, you were absolutely right.

I don't take any glee in a proper GAA county being out-classed by a corporation with every advantage imaginable. In most other eras Tyrone would indeed be AI challengers with their current team.

Yes! But let's not say that to loud! Tyrone have been sheltered by narrow defeats to Kerry and Mayo from meeting Dublin. It's always easy to criticise how poor teams are against the Corporate monster until you play them in their home turf in Championship.

Rte's rendition of total eclipse of the Harte was a low enough blow. I'd be spitting feathers if they did something like that on Down. They need to remember they are the national broadcaster not the Dublin Democrat. And I'm no Tyrone fan!

A Con O'Callaghan goal in the fifth minute set the tone for a totally dominant first-half performance by Dublin which surely spells the end of the blanket defence and possibly the managerial career of Tyrone boss Mickey Harte.

The end of the nihilism of the blanket would be welcome.

The blanket was what won it today for Dublin. 15 behind the 45 every time Tyrone went forward. Literally 15!

Complete rubbish, when dublin attacked they had plenty of options for a long kick pass ahead of them because they kept players up the pitch. Tyrone never had that luxury and their counter attacks lacked any pace and they looked clueless against an organised defence.

Watch the game back. When tyrone went on the attack Dublin retreated all 15 back. Honestly. Not complaining about it, it's a legitimate tactic. But it's what Dublin did. They out blanketed tyrone. Broke forward far faster than tyrone when the turned over.

But seriously, 15 man dublin blanket. It happened.

Go back to bed . You are an embarrassment to Gaelic football . A laughing stock regardless of whether Dublin win the final . You were seven points down and had 13 still behind the ball. It's pathetic . Plan A and nothing else
Back to the drawing board mate and at least next year play with some conviction

If tyrone have been a laughing stock this year it doesn't say much for 30 odd counties.

Mayo sees to be able to . You're not good enough and that's it. And thankfully we won't have to watch any of the crap you masquerade as Gaelic Football till next year

You don't know what you are talking about.

Red hand88 quit while your behind!

Well if Tyrone played more attacking would they not have a better chance and play some proper forwards, some of the defenders have been found out and probably cant mark 1 on 1. the playing of Donnelly corner  forward who can drift doesnt work against someone fitter and faster than him, he only touched the ball a few times the day, should stay at midfield. Sean Cavanagh, never really warmed to him due to diving, but has been a great footballer past 15yrs and deserved a better sent off than today, the legs are gone.

Dublin played more defensive back in 2014 we could been seeing the first 5 in a row team here. learned their lesson the hard way

No they didn't. It was there lack of defensive shape which let Donegal run through them in the second half. They have have been playing a sweeper since that.

[Wildweasel74]

that what i meant had they played more defensive in 2014 they be on for 5 in a row

A somewhat classless post from a man who claims to have AI medals yet engages in bar-room taunts rather than showing the grace in victory shown by those who've really done it all. 

[Cunny Funt]

Disappointing contest that promised so much more. Tyrone played right into Dublin hands and Dublin never had to reach top gears to win pulling up. No way will Mayo allow that time on ball and lack of pressure on the shooters as Tyrone did today.

Syferus, try this for a day. Write down 'I must not post complete bollox' on a piece of paper and stick it on your laptop screen and try to get through one full day without posting pure shite.

[Rufus T Firefly]

Any Tyrone posters who doubt Tyrone ?

Absolutely.  Dublin only need to turn up and are a machine.  No chance of them wilting like they did v Mayo in the drawn AI final last year. They've a process that can't lose. 

Great call. Respect.
