As a Tyrone fan,  I would be quietly confident that we can turn over any team in Ireland. A different team today. Different mentality, discipline. Last ten minutes was like end of the final. Mayo unable to break down the defence. We can do it again.

The football on display this weekend was seriously shocking. It's like watching basketball on grass

100% poor skills on show all over. Lateral passing across the half forward line, etc, etc. What's more, we are forced to look at again on Sunday game! Too much analysis of these league games. Sicken yer hole.

Contributing to a melee

Behaving in any way which is dangerous to an opponent. The headlock I thought was more of a choking tbh

Inflicting injury recklessly

All red cards and could have been more in fairness.

On the football, well done Armagh, getting better with every game. Other than scoring 21 yard frees what else does McShane bring to Tyrone?

On that grounds Gough should have been the only man left on the pitch. The worst offence there was Armagh No. 3 putting his hands in Sluddens face as he was being choked. The rest of it was childsplay. Gough bottled it.

 Monaghan 1
Tyrone 2
Dublin 4
Kerry 2
Donegal 1

Funny how any of the teams who Tyrone have beat have all had bad games, been flat, didn't get the rub of the green, didn't get going, etc. The managers of these teams need to ignore that strain of commentary, realise that Tyrone were better, regroup and improve for next year. To say that you had a bad game is a dangerous thing. Looking forward to the  'new' versions of Dublin, Kerry, Mayo, Monaghan, Donegal next year. On cloud nine and proud of how these Tyrone players have conducted themselves.  Morgan has given some very honest interviews. Great to finally put voices to the players! Big Kennedy did Derrylaughan proud!

It's the angle he came in at(coming from front) , made no attempt to play the ball and Harte's body was open as he was reaching for the ball. Shoulder to shoulder does not trump dangerous play. Depending on ref could be yellow or straight red so he was a lucky boy. Nobody wants to see this type of tackle and I would not complain if a Tyrone player was sent off for this.

In Mckenna, McShane, Canavan, you get a sense ghat they are hungry for goals. If they can provide that great again, Mayo will be drawn back to a deeper style of defending. That's when the Donnelly's, mcgearys, sluddens, mccurrys, Morgan, need to be 99% accurate.

I'm to-ing and fro-ing with this one. Mayo will die on their feet as they will see this as, finally, the opportunity to put the ghost to bed. But is this what will ultimately beat them? The pressure is firmly on Mayo here whereas Tyrone are in bonus territory.
I can't see Tyrone make as many mistakes as they did against Kerry. The reality is that we didn't play anywhere as well as we could offensively and should have been out the gap. Kerry did a cracking job on the long kickouts. Mayo won't be able to achieve this. I am worried that O'Shea has a big game in him. If Tommy Conroy is kept as quiet as Sean O' Se was, then we're in good shape.  Last week I said Mayo. Today I say Tyrone, comfortably. I like the fact that Morgan is booming the kickouts if the short play isn't on. Better to lose the ball in midfield than in front of goal and also have the chance of a breaking ball to the half forwards. Makes for good viewing too. Go long for the 1st quarter and see what change we are getting out of it. Looking back at the semi, Dublin were pedestrian at times and frustrated at other times in a way that neither Tyrone and Kerry were. Never looked forward to a game as much as there isn't the same deep rooted emotional attachment that you would find in games against Kerry/Dublin (and Armagh!)

Don't forget Mckenna. Feel something big coming from him, especially in Croke.

So, who's marking David Clifford, the other Clifford and Sean O'Shea?

I'd go hampsey, Meyler, Mcnamee...

Listening to a lot of assumptions here about Covid and vaccinations and what people should and shouldn't do, without any consideration of individuals, societal challenges, misinformation by authorities, ever-shifting status updates, lock down fatigue, etc., etc. This is not a normal time and whether you're bareback in Danny Healy Rae's pub, celebrating an Olympic gold, partying with Zappone, or fully isolating and still sanitising your groceries, no-one can tell you what is the right thing to do.  What is disgraceful to one person is understandable to another.  In reacting to the outbreak, all parties seem to have been pretty honorable and should be applauded. A few on here could take a leaf out of their books.  Booked the tickets today and starting to think about the teams, match-ups, etc.  That's what it's all about. 

Not a fan of the 'hit' in football or hurling on someone whose body is in any way 'open'.  But it's nearly expected at this stage . The difference of a couple of inches makes it look bad but I'm sure there was no intent to strike the head.

There will be some outcry if Tyrone turn up with a full deck plus a fit McShane and Canavan lining out and manage to beat Kerry.

Surely, most true Gaels want to see two full strength teams?

Of course, they're super careful in Kerry. Truth is that there are outbreaks all over Ireland. People are understandably letting the guard down and that could mean a friend, partner, relative, shop worker who has come into contact with a player.  Would you cancel a game if half a team had the flu? Under lights, we have to live with Covid and lean into our procedures, not exclude and continue to disrupt normal life. I'm sure there will be plenty of testing done before the match.

Game wouldn't be postponed if there was a bout of food poisoning.
Tyrone should concede the game and prepare for next year fit healthy and undefeated in the 2021 championship

So you have no faith in any of the procedures or testing?
