Tyrone won it fair and square that year. Beating Cavan, Donegal, Monaghan, Kerry and Mayo is worthy of winning any AI any year.They were imo. Not lucky with decisions, but lucky that they squeezed it out before that squad started to fade. In a normal year, I'd have tipped Dublin to win it. That's no slight on that Tyrone team, quite the opposite. There's been many a county who would have been at a similar level to that Tyrone team and not got an AI. Take your dinner when it's hot.
Tyrone may be very average now but give over about being lucky to win an all Ireland ffs.
Exactly. There was a vacuum there in the sense that Mayo surprised Dublin and Kerry weren't as good as they thought; Tyrone rushed in to fill the vacuum. But their win was the 'Leicester City' of this century.
