Dublin would simply have been forced to get our act together much sooner and dominate you all for longer.  Just be thankful we've never been greedy about AIs.

The Meath game in 96 would have had a much bigger impact on Tyrone I would say than 95...

That's a fair comment.

What if that meeting didn't take place in Hayes' hotel 140 years ago today.... ?

For all its faults, at grassroots level the GAA has done more to hold communities together in Ireland than any other organisation...

I do miss the Glenavon  ;D

On a more serious note, if Tyrone had won in '95, it would have been the first time 1 man and 14 passengers won an AI.

We'd be better at International Soccer and Rugby (and a plethora of other sports). Both would have a stronger professional club presence.
Our county identity would be almost non existent. Or maybe some other code would have piggybacked on the intercounty system.

I've never watched that game before as I was too young although I am old enough to remember the 2003 and 2005 finals and I don't recall them either. I think I skipped the All Ireland finals when Tyrone were in then.
