Right, let's get this show, sorry bandwagon, on the road! ;)

Looks like we'll be fielding something of a B Team, which makes sense, given this is very much effectively a dead rubber: https://www.facebook.com/teamtalkmag.tyrone/videos/445245042983384/

Lean ar aghaidh :)

Funny game this with both teams threw. Dubs will very likely put out a second team like last year in the last group game . I think we also have to rest most of our key players with a semi final the following week. Few boys like hampsey and McCann probably need a game. Few others will be fighting for places. I'd go something like this:

Morgan
Hugh pat
Hampsey
McKernan
Cassidy
Burns
McDonnell
Mcclure
Kennedy
McCann
R Donnelly
Mulgrew
D canavan (if u20s out)
Coney
McAliskey

Danger with a team like that, that you take a hammering but it's a chance you have to take. Lot of players will get a chance to nail down a spot for an all Ireland semi final.

Tyrone will be watching the Donegal Kerry game today with a keen eye. If Donegal win then Tyrone can't afford to lose against Dublin, otherwise they are looking at another tanking from their neighbours like they got in June,

This match is on the Sunday so both sides will know their semi final opponents should they win the match. I'd imagine that Tyrone with their counter attacking style would be better suited to playing Kerry and therefore should Kerry win against Meath as expected this would come about if they were to finish second in the group. Using that logic you would expect Mickey Harte to play a reserve team in this match but that is not really his style as he tends to treat McKenna Cup games like championship matches. Dublin can probably field a second team in this match and still be really competitive and I'd expect Gavin to do this given an expected 6/7 day turnaround prior to a semi final.

A 6 day turnaround between super 8 and a semi final one of the many problems in the structure at the minute. The weekend off would be better between these 2 games.

I'd be surprised if at least 7 or 8 changes aren't made to the team. I just cant see why you would risk going all out in a match 6 or 7 days before a semi final. Yesterdays game showed Donegal and Kerry to be around the same level and it shouldn't make a huge difference who you play. Plus there is a lot of boys in the panel due some game time.

It is interesting one that Tyrone would prefer Kerry and Dublin probably marginally Donegal, if it is those two that qualify.

Mayo being the potential fly in the ointment! They're in mediocre enough form but probably reasonable to say that they usually play very well against both Tyrone and Dublin.

Post by: Jayop on July 22, 2019, 03:30:57 PM
I have literally no idea who Tyrone would have a better chance against in the semi final but I will say that all 4 of these final round games should be played on the same day at the same time so if there was a particularly soft team coming through from one side of the draw you couldn't have a team throw a game to try to ace them.

With Kerry facing Meath you'd expect them to top the group. The only team that can equal them on the top of the table is Donegal and their game was a draw so even with two teams it will come down to points difference and Kerry are already +1 on Donegal but you'd expect them to beat Meath by more than Donegal could beat Mayo if they do win. So finishing second in our group means we will play Kerry in all likelyhood. As for the other team I fancy Donegal to do the business against Mayo even in Castlebar, but Mayo have had a knack of winning these type of games narrowly in the past so despite the miles on teh clock it wouldn't surprise me.

If Tyrone have ambitions of facing Dublin again in a final then we simply can't show our hand here and nor can we afford to take a tanking. Gavin will still put out a pretty much full strength team against us but we have to rest players now. The lads looked leggy as f**k at the weekend and it's no surprise given the schedule they've had the last 2 months. I think we'll go pure running game with one man up top, perhaps Richie over Cathal and just try to get through the game as safely as possible.


I'd much prefer us to play Kerry or Mayo in this round. Not because I think that we'd have more chance of beating them (Kerry moreso) but because I'm sick of the sight of Donegal at this stage and I'm sure them us.

That's probably not too far away. Byrne instead of Philly I reckon.

Not sure Kilkenny will be risked. I would say himself, Jack and Fenton will see zero game time. Alongside Cooper and Cluxton, they are the 5 most irreplaceable players. But Cooper probably needs the game, so worth risking him.

It's interesting that if he decided to rest Scully and Howard, there's no real like-for-like replacements at wing forward. Last year Flynn and Basquel came in for the dead rubber, but neither of them around this year. Connolly the obvious one, so maybe he might get a start after all, and perhaps Bugler, but he's not been seen much since the league.

Paddy Small probably gets a start somewhere, although he's another who's better inside.

Mayo losing to Roscommon is completely irrelevant to the Super 8. Their "punishment" for losing in Connacht is extra games in consecutive weeks. Donegal's "prize" for winning Ulster is direct entry to Super 8 and more time off.

If Mayo beat Donegal they'll have won 2/3 of their Super 8 games and will fully deserve their place in the semi. If Donegal only win 1 out of 3, they will be out and deservedly so. Kerry v Donegal was far superior to any provincial or any other game there's been this year. Mayo v Donegal should be an absolute cracker too. Two of the top 5 teams in the country (now that it looks like Mayo will be closer to full strength) and one of them will be out.

This game is a farce but not as big a farce as the ros v cork game, in the other group we have Mayo who have lost 2 games playing donegal who have lost no game and if mayo win donegal are out.
This whole super8 is a joke and supporters are voting with their feet.

Under the old format Mayo would have been knocked out in Connaught and got a second chance. Donegal would have been penalised for winning ulster by not getting a second chance if they lost their quarter final. You could say that was a farce.

The groups in many ways are fairer in that Kerry previously could walk Munster and end up with a very easy quarter final and walk into a semi final without breaking sweat. Now they really have to earn their place there.

There's been nearly 180,000 there the last 2 weekends at the games, I'd say any other sport in Ireland would be happy with people voting with their feet in that manner.

I can see the stadium being covered in flags this year and not just Palestine ones.

They have a history of talking complete sh1te, I agree.

And annoyingly singing soccer chants at matches..

Booing and jeering like a troop of monkeys as well. Probably scagging after a long night on the gear in fairness.

;D

The best part of Dublin dominance is the annoyance of other county fans, i know it upsets you all but . . . . . its going ot continue for a few more years.

Dont want to get involved in fan for fan tantrums but Tyrone fans are better that Dublin fans in their behaviour is what i am hearing here, Dublin fans have their bad apples all right, especially in the past, however Tyronen are  the most violent county in the country, most likey people sitting in the stands who murdered people, innocent people, and falls over to the football pitch, county chairmans being knocked out at a ladies county finals, a manager who supports rapists in court. Tyrone fans can be a horrible shower in the stands behaving like animals shouting racist and homophopic slurs, violent taunts.

Anyway gents back to the game, i would expect 2 strong teams and im going for a draw, Omagh is a tough place to go and last years game was very tight with a few calls going Dublins way.

This board is away to f**k lately.

I should have and apologise, but you know it can easily work both ways, the Tyrone folk are alright and we were treated very well in Omagh last year.

Without Moderation of the forum, it will decend and has decended to this nonense.

Didn't want to get into the stand, just a cup of tea from the clubhouse. The stewards spiteful enjoyment at telling pensioners they coudn't get a cup of tea was particularly distasteful.

Sounds like you wanted to walk past where they actually sell the tea, to try and gain access to an area you didn't have a ticket for to ask for tea just to be annoying or didn't fancy joining a queue (God Forbid).

Also sounds like your complaining about your own stupidity.

See, what i saw with my eyes was a bunch of yobs who entered the terrace only to realise to their horror that their isn't a bar on it because,  amazingly, not every ground in the country has the facilities that croke park has.

When they were told they couldn't get through the gate to the bar for a drink, they proceeded to jump the fence and walk across the pitch(!) to the stand. My uncle was the steward on that gate and got called all sorts.

I'll finish by saying the majority of dublin fans carried themselves with dignity and respect and will be welcome back in two weeks. There's just an element of them that behave in a way that wouldnt fly in any other sport.

The way some of them got on in Omagh last year was disgraceful.

Would habe been nice to have been allowed buy a cup of tea in the main stand last year, but werent allowed in by the local stewards.

Stands were a long way from the pitch, but to be fair that was Mickey Harte's decision

There's tea available at the shop beside the toilets at the gortin road entrance. But let's be honest, it's not tea that they were after was it?
Can you understand how you can't be allowed into the stand when the stand is all ticket and reserved seating? Sure it would be chaos!! It's the equivalent of having a hill 16 ticket and walking across the pitch to the Hogan because you wanted to meet your mate in the bar...

Didn't want to get into the stand, just a cup of tea from the clubhouse. The stewards spiteful enjoyment at telling pensioners they coudn't get a cup of tea was particularly distasteful.


This is incredibly stupid. as has been pointed out, if the stand was not sectioned off it would be a nightmare. Unfortunately the clubhouse is beside the stand. Also pointed out you can get tea at both sides of the terrace section as there are 2 shops and tea stands.

Like most counties you will get decent fans and then you'll get lads up for the piss up and to stir shite.
I've been in the hill loads of times and whilst there are loads of decent enough folk in there, it's normally the rough ones that you notice more and tend to create the atmosphere of it being a bit rowdy and scary.
I wonder will they sing come on you black and tans/"red hands" this year.

I'd say Dublin will rest a few of their older players but sure their B team will beat most A teams and are hungry to push for a starting place or at least get into the first 26.

Sounds like you wanted to walk past where they actually sell the tea, to try and gain access to an area you didn't have a ticket for to ask for tea just to be annoying or didn't fancy joining a queue (God Forbid).

Also sounds like your complaining about your own stupidity.

Lads there will be a tea a plenty throughout the ground for all patrons. If it's  a drop of Grandpa's favourite cough medicine you're after, then fork out the price of a stand ticket.

Back to the game. Is there any manager here who has an out and out desire to win this and maybe lay down a marker? I feel Dublin may want a stern challenge as they haven't faced one all year and last year in Omagh they were forced to break a sweat. My heart wants Tyrone to line out the subs and filter everyone back. Mickey Moynagh would do a job at full back maybe?? However my head says Mickey would fight to win a kick about in his back yard, so I think Tyrone could go hell for leather to win this.

I think you'll see about 75% full strength from both teams. Harte treats every game like championship anyway and no way he'll want to lose to Dublin in Omagh. Dublin have so many players at top top level even if they change 5/6 players it really won't make any difference. FFS Connolly is arguably the best player in the country and he could come in as one of the 5/6 changes.  ;D

I honestly feel Tyrone have been working on the second gameplan for Dublin in training all year while we've been playing the old running counter attack game to work our way through the games so far since Donegal. I really believe that Harte didn't want to have to switch to it against Cork and show his hand but probably felt that was the only way to get us out of jail in that game. I reckon we'll go back to running the ball with 1 up top for this so as not to give Gavin a trial run at beating us before *a potential* All Ireland final meeting.

Tyrone's big problem is their defensive football works against the weaker teams and got them to the semi final but the system wont beat any of the top sides in Croke Park who will be in the semi finals.

He tried to go more attacking against Donegal and that didn't work so straight away switched back to what he knows in the qualifiers. Very difficult to suddenly go change tactics at this stage. If they are going to beat any of the top sides he has to at least play Donnelley up front with McShane. To think it took until half time for him figure this out against Cork when sitting back so deep clearly wasn't working would be worrying.

Dubs more than likely will be on the Sat night giving them only a 6 day turn around so I can't see players like Mannion, Kilkenny or McCaffrey starting. No coinidence Gavin took them off early in the 2nd half sat night when the game was won.

Who's the top sides so? We beat Donegal last year with it. Does that count? We beat Monaghan in a semi final last year, does that count? Or are we only talking about Mayo and Kerry? Mayo who didn't reach the super8 and Kerry who couldn't get out of a group with Monaghan and a poor Galway side?

Why anyone would be dopey enough to think that Harte didn't know what was happening on Saturday is beyond me. I think it's fairly obvious that he's been working on this second system all year and just didn't want to show it until Cork forced their hand. Kerry, Mayo or Donegal are not the teams Tyrone are worried about and we'd be reasonably confident of beating any of the three in a semi final.

Bookies favourite for the final is Tyrone and Dublin right now. Given that Kerry are pretty much assured of their place in the semi we're not too far away.

He abandoned it immediately after Donegal. You can't suddenly switch systems and expect it to work perfectly, especially against the top sides in a big game like the semi final. If Tyrone aren't worried about Kerry or Donegal they should be. If they sit back on their 45m line in their defensive set up and concede possession to either team it won't end well for them.

Harte is not some tactical guru. He was out coached by bonner in the Donegal game and he won't be allowed narrow the pitch in Croker.

Man you are boring as f**k.

Why can't you suddenly switch systems? You speak about Bonnar and Donegal in the same post as saying you can't do that shows what a fool you are. Did Donegal play the same tactics against Cavan or Meath as they did against Kerry, or did they suddenly switch it up and expect it to work perfectly?

Give your head a wobble. Sure Kerry or Donegal could beat us and that is what it is, but Tyrone are "worried" about Dublin because that's what all the teams with an eye on the AI are worried about. Tyrone now have two distinct systems that have both had a good run out this year. Neither would be a "sudden switch" because both have been tried and tested at this stage. Against Dublin in a potential final we wont even be able to rely on one of the two systems, we'll have to deploy both at various times during the game.

See, what i saw with my eyes was a bunch of yobs who entered the terrace only to realise to their horror that their isn't a bar on it because,  amazingly, not every ground in the country has the facilities that croke park has.

When they were told they couldn't get through the gate to the bar for a drink, they proceeded to jump the fence and walk across the pitch(!) to the stand. My uncle was the steward on that gate and got called all sorts.

I'll finish by saying the majority of dublin fans carried themselves with dignity and respect and will be welcome back in two weeks. There's just an element of them that behave in a way that wouldnt fly in any other sport.

To be fair there's that element in every teams support, in all sports

You've contradicted yourself about 3 times there. If it's so hard to suddenly change tactics then why was it so easy for Tyrone to do it at halftime v Cork? And how was it so easy to change from attacking to defending following the Donegal defeat? Likewise in the league how did we change from a team playing defensively and drawing with Roscommon to a team beating the Dubs in Croker?

Our defensive gameplan was a match for anyone this past 3 years bar Dublin. The old "won't trouble the top sides" analysis is very lazy. It was more than enough to make us the equal of Mayo/Kerry/Donegal/Monaghan/Galway the last 3 years and most games against them would have been a 50/50 shot with the tactics we had. Only the Dubs can overpower it with relative ease. Also the populist notion that the only way to beat the Dubs is to play offensively isn't born out of anything factual. They've played against all the styles and systems this past 5 years and conquered them all, should Tyrone open up at the back and go at Dublin they're as likely to get beaten as they are playing not to lose.

The blanket defence is done. Teams have copped on and it doesnt work anymore. Dubs humiliated Tyrone in the All Ireland semi final 2 yrs ago and bar 1st ten minutes of the final last year were in complete control and eased to their biggest All Ireland victory in the current era.

Mayo should have won a couple of All Irelands and at least put it up to dublin by going man on man. Kery have put it up to dublin going man on man as well.

If Tyrone sit back in their own half and let the dubs own the ball and dominate posession how exactly do you think Tyrone will win?

As for saying it worked in the league... BIG difference between then and now. How's things gone for league winners Mayo??. They bullied Kerry in the league final (that dublin didnt even make!!!) I think its safe to say Kerry and Dublin are different beasts now.

God there is some tripe being spouted on here. I thought we had it bad on our local boards with the like of STG and his many aliases! Turns out we are truly blessed. Lads there will be a tea a plenty throughout the ground for all patrons. If it's  a drop of Grandpa's favourite cough medicine you're after, then fork out the price of a stand ticket.

Back to the game. Is there any manager here who has an out and out desire to win this and maybe lay down a marker? I feel Dublin may want a stern challenge as they haven't faced one all year and last year in Omagh they were forced to break a sweat. My heart wants Tyrone to line out the subs and filter everyone back. Mickey Moynagh would do a job at full back maybe?? However my head says Mickey would fight to win a kick about in his back yard, so I think Tyrone could go hell for leather to win this.
Tyrone's big problem is their defensive football works against the weaker teams and got them to the semi final but the system wont beat any of the top sides in Croke Park who will be in the semi finals.

He tried to go more attacking against Donegal and that didn't work so straight away switched back to what he knows in the qualifiers. Very difficult to suddenly go change tactics at this stage. If they are going to beat any of the top sides he has to at least play Donnelley up front with McShane. To think it took until half time for him figure this out against Cork when sitting back so deep clearly wasn't working would be worrying.

Dubs more than likely will be on the Sat night giving them only a 6 day turn around so I can't see players like Mannion, Kilkenny or McCaffrey starting. No coinidence Gavin took them off early in the 2nd half sat night when the game was won.

You've contradicted yourself about 3 times there. If it's so hard to suddenly change tactics then why was it so easy for Tyrone to do it at halftime v Cork? And how was it so easy to change from attacking to defending following the Donegal defeat? Likewise in the league how did we change from a team playing defensively and drawing with Roscommon to a team beating the Dubs in Croker?

Our defensive gameplan was a match for anyone this past 3 years bar Dublin. The old "won't trouble the top sides" analysis is very lazy. It was more than enough to make us the equal of Mayo/Kerry/Donegal/Monaghan/Galway the last 3 years and most games against them would have been a 50/50 shot with the tactics we had. Only the Dubs can overpower it with relative ease. Also the populist notion that the only way to beat the Dubs is to play offensively isn't born out of anything factual. They've played against all the styles and systems this past 5 years and conquered them all, should Tyrone open up at the back and go at Dublin they're as likely to get beaten as they are playing not to lose.

The blanket defence is done. Teams have copped on and it doesnt work anymore. Dubs humiliated Tyrone in the All Ireland semi final 2 yrs ago and bar 1st ten minutes of the final last year were in complete control and eased to their biggest All Ireland victory in the current era.

I'm in two minds about going. It's a dead rubber so what's the point really, be handier to just watch it on tv.

Harte said in his post match interview that he'll assess fitness levels and select a team as appropriate, ie select some form of weakened team. The two players he needs to leave out are Peter Harte (a black card would rule him out of the semi-pointless to pick it up in a dead rubber) and mc Shane. I wouldn't like the Dub defenders to get too accustomed to Cathal, better to spring him  on them down the line if we get that far. Also he's our single most important player, he can't risk an injury.

Hampsey, Patsy, McKernan all need to get a good run to iron out the creases in their game. Colm could likely do with a rest so you could see Richie and Kennedy at MF. Mick Cassidy likewise needs to play to experience the top level of opppositiion. I'd play

                 Morgan
Patsy.    .    Ronan.     Hampsey
Cassidy.    Mcgeary    McKernan
    Richie        Kennedy
Matty.      Sludden.     Burns
Melyer.    Coney/skeet.        Mc curry

In Hartes defence it'd be a kick to the confidence of Harte and especially Cathal to leave them out of such a big match and I don't think they'd take it too easily either. They're the type of players you'd have to tie down to keep off a pitch. Would kinda love to see Skeet or Coney get 70 minutes, forwards rarely get a look in in our selections and it'd be great to see what they have to offer from a starting position.

I'd imagine Tiernan McCann will start. He ticks both boxes in that he is player in need of game time but also experienced enough that it is not a gamble to start him.

Also regardless of how reluctant Peter Harte is to sit out the game, he simply can't be allowed to play. If he played and got another black card that would be unforgivable

I'd agree with most of that. However I think He'll drop Harte but keep McShane in there. Removing McShane makes such a big impact into how we play that I think he'll start with him anyway and maybe off at half time.
WRT Colm, I think he actually needs the game time. He hasn't been at his usual level this year, apart from glimpses and I think he's taking a bit more time to get up to speed after the injury earlier in the year. So I'd expect him to play.

Yeah Colm is an interesting one. He's not long back from injury as you said so do you play him to get him more used to match fitness/preparation or at 31 do you rest him to give him a chance to recharge himself. Hard to know but he's played a lot of football in the last 5 weeks and isn't really coming more into every game so I'd be inclined to let him sit this out for 40/50 minutes.

Would habe been nice to have been allowed buy a cup of tea in the main stand last year, but werent allowed in by the local stewards.

Stands were a long way from the pitch, but to be fair that was Mickey Harte's decision

That did not get the recognition it deserved.

Heard them chatting on Newstalk one night and they were saying that whatever chance Tyrone have of beating the Dubs in a semi or final.
There is no way they're gonna beat them twice in the space of a month so Harte would be crazy to go all out and show his "red" hand in this game.

For those who believe, Mickey goes all out to win all games he plays needs to stop taking the man at his word. He's like Jim Gavin in that respect in that what he does is often very different to what he said.
Didn't Jim say last Sat that Roscommon gave them a good challenge.
That's the only hope I have for any team getting Dublin in the semi, is that it will be like the old system where they have come through a few very easy games and are caught cold by a team at a much higher intensity having built up momentum.

Of course all the Dubs want to see teams open up and play a much more expansive style of football like say Cork did but the Dubs will tear most teams apart if you give them that much space and one on one battles. Mannion, O'Callaghan, Costello, Kilkenny and of course Jack the lad would do some damage if left one on one with loads of space in front of them.

Wasn't so much a battle as a pile of Dublin fanny-pad players thinking they're hard men who by roughing up the AI champions on their home turf might act as a springboard to AI success for the Dubs. It didn't work.

Playing defensively against dublin is a sign these days that  the opposition team is already beaten before they start and only want to keep the score down. Cork showed that to beat dublin you need to take them on, but didnt have the fitness to keep with then for last 15 min

Donegal have finally ditched their ultra defensive tactics and have shown only themselves and Kerry so far this year look capable of beating dublin.

+1 (thank you)

Kerry and Donegal showed that with two sh1te defenses and two decent forward lines you can have an entertaining game.

Dublin fans want to see open games because they are more enjoyable to watch. Watching Dublin v's Tyrone where they've played defensive hasn't made it too much harder for Dublin to win

True, however, the Dublin fans themselves are proving nothing other than foregone conclusions in sport, as in virtually every other avenue of human endeavour, is not worth the effort of getting up off the oul arse, with severely diminishing attendances at every stage of the All-Ireland over the last few years being all the testimony you need. 

And look, whether we go toe-to-toe, or full duvet, at whatever stage of the competition, the utter predictability of the result is a bore, however garlanded we might feel by the platitudes poured on us by the likes of your well intentioned selves. If it takes a fecking titanium blanket, and we thwart the drive for five, and it's positively a poisonous spectacle for the poor bystander, feck it, I won't give one atom of shite.

Donegal are the only team to show how to beat Dublin in Championship under Jim Gavin.

It was swarm defence and rapid counters that did it for them. Since then Dublin have adjusted to be able to cater for that and nobody have shown how to beat them since. To be fair Mayo have put it up to them in their prime years.

Ultimately what dictates how you can beat Dublin or if you can beat Dublin will vary for different teams, they have no real apparent weakness. I do think you can rattle Cluxton though and it has happened in previous years. Kerry did it in a semi final a few years back, Mayo did it near the end of a drawn final when they were well behind a few years back and Tyrone did to him in the Super 8s last year. Mayo were successful in really challenging Dublin as they had huge physicality and pace across the middle of the pitch and they had tight tigerish defenders who they trusted in one on one situations. I see a lot of those qualities in the Donegal team right now with an even better attack but I think the injuries have really damaged their chances. Mayo for their prime years 2012-2017 were very fortunate with injuries, they managed to keep all their key players fit. I think Andy Moran had an ACL injury in 2012 but that was really the worst of it.

I'd be worried about Tyrone adopting the Mayo approach against Dublin, I don't think our defenders are good enough man on man to curtail Dublin. We need to strike the balance between the mass defence but in a way which allows us to keep more players in the opposition half to counter quickly.

Funny how people look at things differently.

I saw some postivites in the donegal game. Tyrone were awful and donegal were fantastic but tyrone managed to stay with donegal until near the end. Dont forget that Tyrone almost had a goal towards the end when Kennedy fired a shot just over the bar.

If being completely outclassed as you say while playing poor football and only losing by 4 points is a hammering then it's a strange world.

If tyrone played donegal again it may be a different outcome as there is no way tyrone would play that bad again.

Hopefully.....the difference between Tyrone this year and other years is that they have more variation to their game. In years gone by the Dubs had figured out our style and lapped it up. This year we can switch styles and, (again I say this with with more hope than confidence) this may be enough to catch Dublin....on a bad day. We can talk about tactics, style etc but let's be honest, whether it's Kerry, Donegal, Mayo or Tyrone we are all hoping to catch Dublin on an off day and hope everything goes to plan for ourselves. I'm hoping 5 years on the go with a possible build up of niggly injuries, the pressure of 5 in a row and the lack of a real backs to the wall challenges in over 2 years will be enough to create a scenario were the Dubs aren't just quite at their brilliant best.

Haha . I suppose it's between themselves and Kerry , I look for individuals I think could cause Dublin problems , Mattie Donnelly and Macshane have the ability imo to rock the jacks defense. A team will also obviously have to have the genuine belief they can beat Dublin , Kerry have the upper hand here I believe . I spent a few days down in Killarney and spoke to a lot , they are not short on confidence.

Tyrone being in the same group is as close as they'll get to Dublin. They haven't got near them in recent years in the championship. Last year dubs were comfortably ahead and only they eased off near the end and Tyrone still lost by 3 points at home.

No less redundant than claiming they have zero chance when they are one of only two teams already in the semi final. I suppose. Ack sure, we'll turn up for the games anyway and see what happens.

Teams who are out have zero chance (like the one you support I might guess, before you decided to hide under a newbie account!  ;D )  A team still in any competition, regardless as to they are unfancied, ever have zero chance, therefore you are certainly talking out of your pipe.

Rich from someone who creates a new account 4 days ago, makes 8 GAA related posts 7 of which slag off Tyrone. ;D ;D lol


Teams who are out have zero chance (like the one you support I might guess, before you decided to hide under a newbie account!  ;D )  A team still in any competition, regardless as to they are unfancied, ever have zero chance, therefore you are certainly talking out of your pipe. That's the only truth of it.  Now go back to posting under your usual Armagh/Derry or whatever handle ye bollox.

Haven't posted here for an eternity but a mate told me about the deluded Tyronies so thought id get a laugh. In saying that my sides still hurt from last years final.

Suppose you don't have much reason to be on it these days. As the saying goes you got to be in it to win it.

Makes me smile how many people from lesser countries hate Tyrone at this time of year. Suppose use have nothing better to do 😂😂😂

Tyrone probably the closest team to Dublin at this stage , might be as well off showing nothing in this game and hope Donegal knock a few lumps out of dubs in semi final .

Is that geographically speaking?

I'd say some have been sat aside for clubs etc. Given both teams are already in the semi finals you'd imagine there'll be tickets available. The bigger game is definitely the following weekend. Still interested in how we compete in this game but would be happy to get out of it without a hammering and target taking out Donegal/Kerry/Mayo.

Best case scenario would be that a few players not on the current 15 show a bit of form here and push for places. Wonder will Harte be tempted to bring in 2 or 3 of the u20's for this one and give them game time. A few of them look like good prospects and I'm not sure overall our bench is as strong as some other years.

The more the game approaches the more and more I see Harte naming a reasonably strong side.

I would rather we rest our key players but I see Harte starting all of McShane, Donnelly and Peter Harte. I think McCann and Hampsey will come back in to get up to speed too and we may see the likes of Skeet, Coney, McDonnell, McCrory get some game time.

It's a unique situation for Tyrone in Championship with a huge game 6/7 days right after a dead rubber with the best teams but it's very, very rare Harte would even start the likes of Petey and Mattie on the bench even in McKenna Cup games. I think McShane will want to play to add to his scoring stats and also because he's playing so well that Harte may not want to interrupt his form.

Either way I think it's a huge risk playing them. I'd be resting all our key players such as Donnelly, Harte, Cavanagh, McShane, McNamee, McGeary and Meyler for it. Maybe give Mattie and Petey 20 mins off the bench near the end if we are still in the game.

Connolly on the 26 will likely make the lads in the RTÉ studio wet themselves.

It's the death nail for not having the two winners from phase 1 play each other in phase 2.
And it's the death nail for having 1 week between phase 3 and the semi finals.

I'd hope for 3 changes to the Dubs team with Fenton, Howard and Con dropping out. Connolly could come in for Howard, but the return from injury of Bugler might mean the latter is in if Howard drops out.

I'm surprised at Harte knowing how seriously he treats even McKenna cup games. That said I think it is absolutely the correct decision. Even if they get a tanking then it is probably what most people will expect and practically none of his starting XV will carry any mental scars into a semi final next week. Now he has a bunch of super motivated second string players who are playing for places in the staring XV or on the bench for an AI semi final and potentially a final.

We have four games over the weekend. Three of them are basically dead rubbers. Maybe Meath have a bit of pride to play for but that's it. The fact that teams are playing alot of squad players and have alot of their first 15 not on the squad is just not good enough.
You would never have gotten that with an all Ireland quarter final.

But the McKenna Cup isn't played one week before the All Ireland semi final!

There's going to be some nonsense spoke in the next 24 hours about the two managers disrespecting the competition and cheating the paying fans. The managers have to do what's best for their preparations for the All Ireland semi final, end of story.

So you think Tyrone would have put a full team out, under the same circumstances, 6 or 7 days before an AI semi final against anyone other than Dublin? This decision was about preservation of players who have been playing 5 out of the last 6 weeks with a huge game next weekend and would have been made regardless of the opposition. As someone said, it's the competition format at fault here.

Absolutely. Gaa HQ have made some silly changes for the sake of changing over the years however introducing a group stage for the last eight has to be the most ridiculous change they have made.

Now he has a bunch of super motivated second string players who are playing for places in the staring XV or on the bench for an AI semi final and potentially a final.
But the McKenna Cup isn't played one week before the All Ireland semi final!

There's going to be some nonsense spoke in the next 24 hours about the two managers disrespecting the competition and cheating the paying fans. The managers have to do what's best for their preparations for the All Ireland semi final, end of story.

The 2 managers are 100% correct.

Don't see what all the fuss is about.  The 3 game series is the equivalent of a quarter final.  The job is done two thirds the way through so bring on the subs for the Dubs.  Some drama-mongering these days.

Hard to say who to prefer in the semis.  Probably lean towards Kerry as Mayo seem to be able to draw on a supernatural reserve of determination when required.  Intriguing game today-could be an out and out shoot-out.

Given how mayo always seem to push dublin to the limit I thought dublin would have preferred Kerry..I can also guarantee that mayo will relish playing Dublin in the semi after that donegal game

Tyrone believe they are second best team in country. Given there is only 4 teams in the country running second behind Dublin and Donegal tanked them it's a huge gamble. Also better believing they somehow handed Dublin this win physiologically if by some miracle they get pass Kerry.

So you can pick half the team good man. Dublin can only beat the team on pitch if Mickey is afraid of main team getting a tanking. Great game plan.

According to you nobody new of of the starting team so thought I failed well. If tyrone 2/3  string team got beat by 6 points. 3 of which were a late goal I dont think the first team would have fared any worse.

By the time Dublin made replacements before throw in there was about 2 starters in there and they were boys needing game time. I don't think any one team took it any more serious than the other but one team's reserves looked a good bit better.

Grugan looks fit for game time at least for Tyrone.

Connolly still hasn't discipline.

Brogan still has it.

On both sides I think a couple of boys won't have done their chances much good.

We have beaten Kerry a bit recently . Has nowt to do with what I'm saying , GAA people can be incredibly naive imo , Kerry v Dublin was the semi that was needed . See how it pans out now shur

Tyrone have been aiming for Kerry for weeks now. They'll beat them too.

You mean Tyrone should have engineered a handy semi against a bogey team?

I would say a few things learned today...

Grugan looks fit for game time at least for Tyrone.

Connolly still hasn't discipline.

Brogan still has it.

On both sides I think a couple of boys won't have done their chances much good.
Connolly had a good game today and I'd be amazed if he doesn't make the bench on Sat night

He was unlucky with the black card. Mistimed the tackle. To  criticise his discipline is ridiculous
Comerford excellent under the high ball and another youngster Bugler was the best player on the pitch

Ah I like connolly.  He is fantastic but he needs to keep his nose clean for his own good to get back on that team. He wasn't unlucky. It's a black cars when you pull a man down and he pulled a man down. I hope gavin keeps with him though.

Yes goalie was excellent.  I thought looking at the Tyrone goalie he would probably be a better number 1 than Morgan.

Clear black card, but  tackle was more reckless than cynical. He still played well. Scored a point, laid on a few lovely passes and won a few kick outs. Great to see him back. If you cant enjoy watching players like Connolly why watch football at all??

Funny old game. I thought Grugan was poor, ditto Connolly. Think he's a long way of the starting 15 for Dublin.
Also Richie Donnelly has dropped a lot imo. Far too many Hollywood passes that go wrong. Loses position far too much.
Haven't seen much of Kennedy this year but was impressed (kick pass aside 🤦‍♂️ ) with him.

I have great time for Connolly, probably the best footballer I've ever seen. It was great seeing him back and I thought he did quite well. However, I'm not sure if he'll be up to the intensity Mayo will bring next week. That said, I would be shocked if he wasn't on the 26 I would be shocked and I'd certainly be worried to see him appear against Mayo.

The Connolly situation reads a bit like complacency from Gavin, getting Connolly's game time in today and next week so he can play a key role in the final, but they've made no final yet!

Firmly believe Connolly was brought in because Gavin thought we'd a lack of depth at 10/12 after Howard and Scully. But Bugler's return from injury, and man of the match performance, might keep Connolly out of the 26.
Although on balance, I would expect that Connolly's fielding ability in particular should see him get on the bench.

Or, What Jim Gavin was saying for the last couple of years is true, he was always welcome back. Fair play to Jim Gavin, i would say plenty of managers would say no at the tail end of they season.
