As shown by this thread the big driver to the Tailteann Cup is that it's open for so many to get a run at it. Most of the counties in it could have a say if they get a bit of luck and a run going. We've had Wicklow, Laois, Antrim, Fermanagh, Down, Sligo, Kildare all tipped. If marketed right, this has potential. Makes a big difference from the AI run in! 

Derry away to Galway at 5:30 on a Saturday, taking the piss, that's some spin to come up the road again on the same nite.

What would be taking you up the road again?

Another piece of sh1te

I think this shows what the far right are like.

Genuinely starting to feel sorry for Brolly. GAA people who once valued his opinion now laugh at him, not with him and no-one believes a word he says.

This is true. The only reason he's still in the media at all now seems to be to laugh at him. I don't know anyone who would actually pay any heed to him apart from an eye roll. T'is a sorry state and he's even managed to turn his own against him. Pity, he was entertaining once.

Donegal will win at a canter.

I think they will win. But can't see it being a huge margin. Just don't think they have the forwards to start racking up a big score. Will be a tight cagey affair, but I think Donegal will stick to their system better and won't panic. And that'll edge them over the line. But only see 3/4 points in it.

Is that Top 4 secure for Liverpool now after Spurs losing?

It looks like it. Unless Spurs win their 5 remaining games by a 20 goal difference and Liverpool lose their 3 remaining games

Stranger things have happened....

considering one of those 5 is Man City it would have to be very very strange

It's gone from winning the quadruple to worrying about finishing top 4.  

Is that not the normal way of things. Once the title's gone you look to the next biggest challenge. Finishing top 4 is essential. Wouldn't want to be dropping out of it again. Makes it more challenging for the new manager when you're not in the CL. Harder to attract the talent you want.

Wouldn't like to have a new manager AND not be in the CL for instance...

Am I the only one thinking our conditioning is below were it should be? I thought in the 2nd half of normal time, a good few of our men stopped making the runs that we had been making in the 1st half. Think new legs then could have made a big difference. But management have been slow to implement changes. Oguz A big loss in that regards.

[Morgan's kickouts were awful]

Morgan had caught thst ball at the end over normal time, it was game over

Morgan's kickouts were awful in the 2nd half and extra time. I think he must have cost 4 points. And he got motm? Madness.
In saying that's, there was no standout player, so maybe his free taking got it for him.

I think some of that was the lack of runners in the 2nd half by Tyrone. Fitness was starting to show a bit.boys were getting leggy, I thought he was actually still getting the majority right. Few went wayward but don't think it was more that 3/4 in whole game. And some of his better ones were great platforms for some of Tyrone's attacks. I think he's the best passer in the game at the minute tbh. Maybe I'm bias tho!!   
 

Donegal's Ulster final to lose.

Would you ever f**k off with that crap. It wasn't entertaining the first time you did it and it hasn't aged well with the 100th.

As funny as a kick in the boll!x.

Was a grand auld game of football. Defensive, yes but not overly negative in my opinion. No major talking points from the ref either. Few calls could have went either way, but nothing major.
Felt it was lost on the sideline. Had we freshened things up in the 2nd half of normal time, I think we could have won. Too slow to make changes and reacting. That said, got tactic 100 in first half. But needed better in-game management. McShane and Seanie o Donnell should have been pulled in 2nd half.
Mattie and Morgan two players showing their class today for Tyrone.

Management needed to make changes quicker. McShane could been gone 30 mins ago. No legs left in a few of them. Unfortunately to slow to act again.

Last week could take its toll on Tyrone now

2 week break should help if they get through. But think this game will stand to the winner.

Donegal kicking lot of wides. Tyrone letting them take a pop at distance. Dangerous tactic.

Not sure on that free. Lines just crossed and collided.
