Dublin v Tyrone Páirc an Chrócaigh Sat 16th March 7pm.

I'd say Mickey will have them on their best behaviour and not to be even spitting on the ground in case the wind catches it.

When's the last time Dublin beat Tyrone in the league in Croker?
I know we've been in Div 2 for 2 years.

2010 Tyrone 1-11 | Dublin 2-14 in Omagh

Lost both league games in Croker. Relagated ye in Omagh in 2010.

Beat ye in Parnell park in 2004?

There was the Battle of Omagh in 2006, Tyrone beat Dublin in Croke Park in 2007 and 2008 under lights, didn't play in 2009 as Dublin were in Division 2 and lost in 2010 before a spell in Division 2.

[Fuzzman]

Yeah that 2004 game for me was the start of the big rivalry between the two counties.
We found out that day the welcome ye get when you're the new AI champions.

Just read the Gaelic Life there at lunch time. Interesting how they describe how the Dublin forwards make loads of runs and drag their men all over the pitch so leaving more room for Brogan & Co.

I doubt we'll see Tyrone as open as they were in 2010 when Mickey seemed to go for a more open style game.

Will we see a similar team named tonight. Will McNeice and Mattie Donnelly be back in to play more defensive sweeping roles.
What ever happened McLaughlin from Newton or McBride?

Think you're mixing up 2008 & 2009 there

I did.  Was thinking the 125 game wasn't as far back as 2008.

[Redhand Santa]

Happy enough with that team. Hard to know exactly how it will line out. Especially difficult to guess what he'll do with the McMahons. We're certainly big enough in defence. Hopefully we can win enough ball round the middle to put a bit of pressure on the Dubs. Can see a close game which could go either way.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Good to see Justy back, and fairly happy with that selection too. Seems like Mickey's setting up a half-back line springboard for forward surges; could be interesting. And good to see Mark Donnelly back too, we need his tireless foraging and industry.

[sam03/05]

anyone know what has happened to Darren McCurry?
Played in the Championship last year, was on fire earlier in the year. Now gone.
I take it he is injured?

[Redhand Santa]

There hasn't been any talk of him but he must be injured. Hasn't been on the bench in recent games and didn't play for the u21s in the Shamrock Cup final. Would be disappointing if he wasn't fit for the u21s. He'd be ruled out this weekend because of it anyway. McAliskey can feel disappointed not to start. But can see the logic in giving Coney games. Hopefully he improves from last week and can put on an improved performance this weekend.

[Fuzzman]

Not far from our strongest team I'd say
Is Penrose out of favour again?

The Dubs will have a lot more new lads on that we will have I'd say

Yes, that's about it. A couple of the U21s to be drafted in I suppose - possibly Clarke and Ronan.

What about Harry og - how's he progressing? I see he was taken off early in the Shamrock final.

Glad to see Mark Donnelly starting. I'd be happy to be within 3/4 points of Dublin.

[God14]

Ciaran McGinley starting not a bit of a suprise?

[ONeill]

Must see something in training with him over Penrose. Be interesting to find out what.

[Knock Yer Mucker In]

Ciaran McGinley starting not a bit of a suprise?

No he is from Errigal, that's 3 now.

[Dublinfan]

Hi too all new to the forum any ideas if the Dublin line up will be out tonight?
