For me it's great to see the team playing so well without big Sean and Peter Harte maybe not as influential as usual.

Blasphemy - I thought he was immense yesterday - he was popping up everywhere and anywhere and got through an absolute tonne of work.

Sean was very poor though.

Down were miles off the pace, especially in terms of having any sort of a plan of attack. Were just utterly clueless in terms of trying to take on the Tyrone defence.

After all the Tyrone over confidence on here last week I was not too surprised to read some of the very anti Tyrone bias on here yesterday.
As many have already admitted it was disappointing to see Morgan's reaction but I don't know was there much else people could complain about yesterday.

Players like Tiernan McCann and Mattie D are good at making penetrating runs to break through the blanket defence which often results in them drawing the foul. Some would argue that he played for that free but if the defender fell for it or was lazy with his tackle then a free's a free.
As for Sean complaining to the ref or linesman about being fouled etc, what's the alternative, to take the law into his own hands like D.Connolly might do and then get punished even more.
Yes many would love to see Sean get sent off again for reacting to the abuse he gets during a game.

I see the Irish News agreed with my choice of McClure for MOTM. He looked very up for it yesterday and I'll be disappointed if he doesn't start the next day. Anyone else think the marks given in the IN are a bit mean on Tyrone?

I'm sure its already been discussed, but was one of the Down players pinching Cavanagh on the tits yesterday? (Looked like it on tv)

If so, my admiration of Cavanagh has gone up a notch - there's no way in hell most people would have the self-control not to retaliate instantly to that carry-on.

Morgan - not nice to see, but we see it a fair bit in senior football now. Conor McManus did it to the Donegal keeper last year, but in that case I think McGinley had been giving him some kind of lip to try and throw him off before he took the penalty and so it was probably justified.

On over-confidence, youse have every entitlement to it. Streets ahead of the rest in Ulster at the moment.

Interesting how some neutrals thought Sean played quite well yesterday.

I thought he was pretty poor, kicked the ball aimlessly a few times which wasn't like him. He did have one magnificent mark though.

Whilst not condoning Morgan's behaviour and Sean's involvement in the black card it's no surprise to see the total absence of comment on that or other Down indiscretions during the match traffic here on Sunday.

Surprised myself OG.
Some of the behaviour was shocking and far exceeded what normally goes on. But then Down are the aristocrats of Ulster football.
Their behaviour was similarly bad v Monaghan.

If it had been Tyrone there would be multiple threads already

Yawnfest in Clones, was always going to be so the second Down made the Ulster Final, in fairness to Down after they settled down they were tenacious and clawed their way back into the game well, they just ran out of ideas after the break.

As for Tyrone, that is a performance that will strike no fear into the big guns going forward, Dublin are an absolute scoring machine whilst Kerry destroyed a very good Cork side, these two are way ahead of the pack and on their second half performance today Tyrone are probably the third best team in the country.

Praying for Down in Croker now, they have a terrible record in the qualifiers and we are a different team from the one they beat in the Athletic grounds.

One last thing, Tyrone's second goal was absolutely brilliant, probably the best finish we will see all year.

Cork are very good? Didn't they scrape into the Munster final with two 1-pt wins? Waterford and Tipp?

Worst cork team i have seen in my life. Not good at all.

I feel for down now. Really can't see them beating monaghan but hope they put up a show at the very least so their season doesn't fizzle out too much.
