Tyrone v Dublin for a place in the aisf. Omagh

[seafoid]

I suppose not a bad performance from Tyrone. Definitely better than last year.  More control and less of a gap to the Dubs.

Dublin fans are really really letting themselves down at the Gortin road end. Trying to break into stand to get to the bar.

Bulls**t.  One of those "fans" was an elderly man out hospital who just wanted tea &a sandwich. He was manhandled by Gestapo stewards and only when he demanded the cops be called did they back off. Scumbags on a power trip some of the stewed. Head steward eventually arrived and he was the only one who was polite and helpful

[ONeill]

Dubs did their homework. Tyrone's 2 fine successes from the last game, Sludden and R Donnelly, were completely nullified.

Thought Dublin were comfortable enough, but a bit of slackness let Tyrone back into it. Dublin seemed to have the ability to push on, but didn't. Looked more content to empty the bench and give a few more lads a run out. That's Donegal and Tyrone beat without looking under any real pressure. Barring the start of the first half they weren't behind Tyrone on the scoreboard.
Coldrick had a poor game, missed a lot of frees both ways. Didn't look like he wanted to dish out the cards when they would have been merited.
Tyrone should be more annoyed about the missed shots and the shot selection from their players. Didn't think O'Neill should have hit the final free after just coming on to the pitch.

They still haven't got out of second gear yet. If they come up against a battle hardened Kerry/Monaghan/Galway team in the semi final they will need to switch on but sometime bad habits can develop when playing so far inside their comfort zone.

Dublin inside forward line not firing which is worrying. Got no protection from the ref (which unsurprisingly jayop and the crybaby lillies didn't notice) but that's the way Coldrick was playing it. Generally took a high tackle to get a free, most of the rest he let go. Couple of very cynical fouls by Cav in first half when goal chances looked on, but that's the way it goes sometimes

That was a super cameo by McGeary. Dubs backs very good and Fenton good and Howard deservedly man of the match. I prefer  Macauley in midfield rather than McCarthy

[BennyHarp]

I said this last year but my theory is that Dublin have a gameplan to try and break the line of defence and if the can't they try to engineer a free. They have become experts at making the slightest touch look like a legitimate foul without over egging the theatrics. It works on two levels as it puts a defence on egg shells not to tackle and it wins frees for a machine like Rock to keep the scoreboard ticking over, which is spirit breaking for teams who generally have to work so hard to get scores themselves.

I don't understand how anyone can say if a team got out of second gear or not.  Dublin went into that match with the intention of annihalating Tyrone as always.  They found scoring opportunities hard to come by because of good defending and tracking.    What Dublin have in their artillary is the knowledge on how to see out  a game when it's in the mix, using whatever method.  Tyrone had them rattled which, for a team on the road several weeks on the trot to do so, is good news for challengers.

What a load of bollocks. They were at the pin of their collar this evening.

Dublin had to dig very deep into their considerable football reserves in Omagh this evening, and sure whoever thinks different is most welcome to those sentiments.

Nope. I was there and heard the whole thing. They were after the bar. Repeatedly they were shouting "do you not want our money??"

They were expecting a bar in the terrace and were caught out because they were stuck inside once they went in.

So take your lies away with you.

Excellent performance from the Dubs, they played really enjoyable and intelligent football. Tyrone (cliche alert) did ask a some questions, however,  complaining about the ref's performance  is missing in total  the essential elements of why Dublin won, with relative ease.

Correct, I think on a full size pitch Dublin would've won by 10 or so.

Tyrone pushed hard but Dublin are still considerable ahead of them and as last week against Donegal once 5 up sorta stopped; dont know why this is; young OCallaghan stealing a living up in that forward line at the minute; not sure how hes starting in front of Costello,  Dublin are building ahead of steam and now gearing to lift it for the semi@ but still not the team of 3/4 yrs ago with that classic Flynn; Kilkenny; Connolly; half forward line with Brogan inside!

[Jinxy]

Dublin are juiced up to the hilt.

It's time someone said it.

It's fairly obvious watching that.

Pace pace pace all night long.

They have pace everywhere.
When they go, they go hard & fast.
Then someone else has a go.
It's not the same fella every time.

[Wildweasel74]

Not all of them are heavily built, that new lad could strip out for a u-16 team and not look outta place lol
