I genuinely can't see Tyrone not winning but I wouldn't be surprised if it goes to a replay.

                                Devine

Ricey                         Justy                      Gourley

Davy                         Gormley                   Jordan

                      Cavanagh             Enda

Dooher                       Brian                       Joe

Tommy                      Stevie                    McCullagh


I know Gourley has made a couple of slips but he's earnt his place with a few solid games.
I know Stevie hasn't played intercounty for a while but if all the suggestions that he's flyin fit are true then imo he should start. Realistically Niall Gormley and Shaun O'Neill wouldn't be making an appearance regardless of Stevie O'N coming back. Colm Cavanagh/Mugsy/Mulgrew/Penrose/Mellon etc are great options to have and I'm sure the Beard will make all the tough decisions and big calls and whatever team he puts out will bring Sam to tyrone again

I was born in 81, he was born in 80 so he's a year older than me which makes him 28 at the minute but he turns 29 in November.... 

yea but november hasnt quite come around yet so he hasn't turned 28 yet

For everyone's information here:

Stephen O'Neill (born 19 November 1980) is a Irish Gaelic footballer who played full-forward for the Tyrone Senior football team. O'Neill announced his retirement from the Tyrone Gaelic football team in January 2008[1][2], but continues to play for club side Clann na nGael. His style of play is quite traditional as a full forward, often getting on the end of passes, and scoring with his preferred left foot. It's his superior physical strength that sets him apart from his peers, coupled with his agility on the ball, making him very difficult to mark.

So he's 29 in November !!

Surely if this is correct then it proves he's 28 in november?2008-1980=28

Yis are like little kids at Christmas Eve that can't wait for the morning. GET UP TO YOUR BEDS!!

Waiting for the man with the beard to give us our present

Stevie, Mugsy, Mulgrew, C. Cavanagh, Penrose/McGuigan, Gormley and Shaun O'Neill aren't a bad locka forwards to hav on the bench on all-ireland day

Had pat or any other decent ref been in charge wexford would have had little more than one or two points at half time and the game would have been over

I know Pat has done Armagh favours in the past but to suggest that he would blow the game up 35 mins early is taking it too far!

They don't Makem like they used to.

Good man 

Paddy Bradley´s good value at 20/1 for player of the year.

Where's enda mcginley in them odds?apart from cavanagh he's been tyrones best player

Justin Mc Mahon has had a very steady campaign - could he come in under the radar

I think Justins performances in the team have been superb since he was placed at full-back. Every game he's stepped up his performance and surely he would be the front-runner for young player of the year if he performs against wexford.

By the way - what are we doing about the beards?

I mean it was a big thing, and we won and are now in an all ireland final...  Im superstitious like that, so Ive continued shaving every day, and will endeavour to do my best between now and the wexford game...

Are yiz men or hairy mice? All beard growers must maintain facial hair status for us to progress!

Tis bumfluff at the minute

I was at the 05 replay and the atmosphere when Dublin started reeling Tyrone in during the 2nd half was unreal. Never experienced noise like it.

Very true but the best part was how quiet it all became when Mugsy scored the second goal and stared down the hill. One of the best moments of the year 

In fairness to the Dub fans when we beat them in '05 I never heard one bad word about Tyrone on the way outta the stadium and about the streets. They were very gracious in defeat and wished us all the best. So while I'm obviously hoping we'll win if the Dubs win I'll say well done and good luck and I'd hope most of the Tyrone fans would be the same. It should be a great match. I think both teams will hit their best form in this match and I don't see too much in it either way.

There only seems to be individual tickets left tho. I'l take my chances of maybe getting two together with the club 

Tyrone
Armagh
Cork
Galway

Excellent, Martin Carney has just written us completely off saying that we're "not a patch on the 2005 Tyrone team". But then, he wrote us off completely in 2005 too!  Gotta luv the 'pundits', gotta luv 'em!

Obviously we're not the same team we were in 2005 and we haven't been great so far this year but there's definetly signs of some of the old play coming back. The defence is very good and midfield is improving. I'm just praying that Mugsy is near ready for a good 70 mins. I'm very confident that we'll give the dubs a good match and I'm reasonably confident that we can beat them. Most of the pundits are just trying to make themselves bigger names. Though I think Dara O is as good a pundit as there is at the moment.
