I thought Deegan fucked us badly in 2015 but that just takes the biscuit.

An absolute and utter disgrace.

Deegan single handedly brought Kerry back into that game with a string of ridiculous frees but I think you have to look at the mentality of the team out there, in the face of adversity too many times we have collapsed. And even with Deegan dragging Kerry back into it we have to look at our own role in matters.

Donnelly was up fairly quickly on his knees.

Mannion lay down for 2 minutes trying to get his opponent sent off.

After your absolute disgust at Mannion in the Leinster final I thought you would have been in here giving off about R adonnelly? Maybe I missed it

So no condemnation of 'play acting' when it's a Tyrone man. Got it

Hard to know how Kerry will do in the final. Their defence will hardly hold up against the Dubs.

Not hard to know. Kerry be well beaten in final. I predict Dublin's biggest margin of victory in All Ireland final since the 70s.

We can't beat a good team.

Or indeed, an average one.

Were does that leave armagh?

It wasn't a snide comment. Merely an observation. Kerry are average.

Neither was mine... genuine question???

We are further back in our development. That is obvious. I know that, so do you. But I don't see how that is relevant to the original point.

Definitely top 12, possibly top 10 in Ireland vs Tyrone being top 5. Not really claiming to be anything more.

Great Chance? No your mistaken. Literally no chance, but it doesn't hurt to think positive

I thought in the build up to this game that tyrone would win comfortably enough. With dublin waiting in the final I've changed my mind. Dublin have hammered tyrone a number of times in the past few years and I honestly think quite a few of these tyrone players psychologically will be happy to lose this one by a point or 2 to avoid another final hammering.

That may be the mentality in Derry but there is not a hope in hell any Tyrone player wants to lose an all Ireland semi final.

Dublin have hammered Tyrone once in the last few years by the way. Last year's final was not a hammering.

Dublin destroyed Tyrone pulling up. Were you on the sauce watching it. :)

Yes... but that's not the point  :D
There was 4 in it with a few minutes left. After which Tyrone missed a few great chances.

We all know Dublin had the brakes on most of the second half. Good luck today. ;D

Aye, that's the sort of thing you do in an all Ireland Final.  Dublin were rattled, worried, so much so that a fan beside me started to roar f**kin British ba$tards after Harte's penalty.

I think you'd have to look hard to find a non-Tyrone fan who'd tell you that Dublin weren't extremely comfortable once they got into the game in the first half. Tyrone have played Dublin 4 times in the Championship since August 2017 and have been well beaten on each occasion (even with half of those games being at home.)

Considering Tyrone have gone 10 years since their last big win in Croker against a non-Ulster team surely their main objective has to be just beating Kerry today. They're still a good bit off Dublin, Kerry (and probably Donegal and Mayo too realistically) and I'm not sure if they have the players to bridge the gap.

Nothing really that surprising come the end of the match. Once Kerry went up a gear in the second half Tyrone had nothing in response.

I'm not sure how you would assess Tyrone's season really, beaten well by both Donegal and Kerry and their biggest result was probably the victory over Roscommon. May have been fortunate with their qualifier and Super 8 draw.

The two only unbeaten gay teams in the championship will meet in the AI final.

At least I'm sure that's what Joanne said.

Deegan won't be holidaying in Tyrone this year.

I hate Tyrone with a passion.
But even I have to admit Deegan is absolutely biased.
Dreadful, simply dreadful.




At what point can you question if the ref is simply against you. Repeat of 2015 all over again
Must be Northern teams because he rode us too vs Mayo.

I think it's beyond doubt that Northern sides don't get the same breaks their Southern counterparts get when it comes to match officials and media portrayals and narratives. Tyrone will have taken the brunt of that for the past decade as they have stuck around at the business end of the Championship. You will probably recall some of the unfair "macho" portrayals of the Armagh team when they were at the top too and how it sometimes went against them with referees.

To beat a side like Kerry you will always have to be 5 or 6 points better than them as they will always get the decisions and Deegan is probably their biggest asset on a pitch.

You seem to bang on about a wide range of issues here, I assume none really bother you.
