Ticket demand huge amongst the clubs, it seems. Was chatting to our ticket man earlier and he said previous highest request was 250 tickets for Kerry semi in 2015, ticket request for this match is 340!

Was disappointed that dublin retreated en masse in the second half against Monaghan. They also finished really poorly. Even Brogan,  worshipped by the crowd when he came on, was watery. 
The only thing that has set Tyrone apart from Dublin this year has been their barnstorming finishes to games.  This makes me think that if Tyrone are near enough at around 50 minutes (this is the hard bit), they will pull away.   If Dublin break away in the first ten minutes, it's a training exercise and the blue ribbons can be tied on.

They won at a canter, took off McCarthy, Kilkenny, Cooper etc with plenty of time left. IF a barnstorming finish was required, I'm sure they would have managed it

We'll win the U17s then worry about the seniors after that.

Ahhhhh sure Ros are very poor as usual. We obviously got soft oul draws against weak teams.....
I wonder will we have to apologise for daring to intrude in an All Ireland Final.

No need to apologise but ffs, if you lose, try not to whinge as much as yous did after the U21 semi final a few years ago. That was a bit embarrassing.
That was never a square ball!!

What does this say about the strength of the squad?  Tyrone seem to step up a gear when the subs come on.  12 wides would be a concern for Dublin

Not to us but probably to your collective self esteem for even entertaining that notion.

340 for loughmacrory? That's incredible. Every member must have a request in.

Quick question about connolly and suspension. I cant get my head around at all, I read an article before the championship started ,it was about how the lovely diarmuid would be well advised to take a black card early rounds as he was a card away from.suspension, now im told this accumulated black cards rule has changed , has it really changed or is connolly still one black away from a game suspension.
Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

The accumulated black card doesn't include suspension for a All Ireland final which is a farce. If he gets another black card I think he would have appealed the one in Monaghan as wasn't black card offence.
