There's no chance that this games goes without at least one controversial incident that will be blown out of all proportion, both by the team who feel they are on the receiving end and the media. It's par for the course now really with Tyrone and Donegal.

Only in a Tyrone man's head would a jersey tug be worse than a dive
In order or worseness the things that annoy me are....
1) Dives
2) Cynical fouling close to goal to stop goal chances
3) Cynical fouling outside the 45 to stop attacks outside of the comfortable free taking range
4) Goading players to try to get them to react and get them sent off
5) Time wasting

Herself wants me to take the wee fella into this on Saturday, but with the Ulster final to go to Sunday I'm not sure I could be driving in to the Park. Home advantage should see Sligo though.

Enjoyed that article there from Bogue, it's one of the best things about the build up to these big games, the opinion pieces from Wednesday on.
He's right about most of that too. Tyrone had become complacent towards Ulster titles back in the late 00's, they were seen merely as something of a stepping stone towards bigger things and Donegal being so good for the last 5 years has totally changed that. I was devastated the last 2 times they beat us especially and if we are to win on Sunday then it'll be celebrated with as much vigour as 2001 or 2003 was.
Another interesting side point is that Tyrone are currently 1 shy of Armagh's 14 Ulster Titles so it would be nice to equal that with our neighbours from the other side. I was chatting to my Donegal buddy who will be heading up to the game with me recently there and he surprised me by saying that Donegal had only won 5 titles before 2011. Growing up watching them winning the AI and celebrating it like it was Tyrone back in 1992 I was shocked at that one. Bar Cavan at one end and Fermanagh on the other there's not a huge amount between the rest of the Ulster counties in terms of provincial success.
This should be a cracker of a game though.
