Only player in GAA history to win an All-Ireland senior medal in both codes in the same season, a record that will probably won't be matched.  RIP Teddy.

Wasn't Denis Walsh part of both panels. I think he won the hurling All Ireland then didn't make the panel for the football final and missed out on a medal.

Loved watching Teddy when i was a kid, an absolute legend of our games. Was such a great athlete and to win two All Irelands in a year is just phenomenal. RIP Teddy.

3 ulster counties in one group 

Well done to Monaghan, showed great fighting qualities to get through in a tremendously entertaining game of football. I really hope we meet them again in an All Ireland quarter final in Croke Park.

The bizarre nature of this championship structure is that Tyrone are no better or no worse off now than they were this morning. They will still be in the round robin stages, will win enough games to get out of the group and then the really championship begins. Everything up to that point is pretty meaningless.

I hope the 5 weeks off enable Tyrone to build on the positives today. I was much happier with our attacking play, getting the ball forward much more quickly and we created scores more easily than we have done lately. Clearly there are issues defensively and big gaps which means we are shipping goals but hopefully that can be worked on.

Great excitement but awful penalties 🙈

 Cheers Mod5, the competition definitely adds an extra bit of interest to the matches. Thanks for the effort. Well done Red Hander too.

Joshua really has turned into a complete dick. His post fight interviews are absolute car crash

Ah that's very sad. RIP.

I thought it seemed to be 92 that changed it. IIRC they would have worn green until they beat wasn't in Mayo in the 92 semi?

Donegal wore  the green jersey with  yellow band  in Ulster final 1992.  A  clash  of colours with mayo in the semi made them  go yellow with green sleeves. They've kept  that design pretty much the same since then

I believe Sligo did similar  with the all black design after  a clash with Kildare  in the early days of the qualifiers . After that game , they stuck to the black

Something important happened Donegal in 1992 that may have influenced the jersey choice from then on.

What was that?

Micheal Murphy was born, I think

Yeah need to back it up v Monaghan and Armagh now. We are in need of a 6 - I think that could have been Munroes last chance today. Badly burned for the 2nd goal and was hooked straight after that. Not sure what options we have there.

Hopefully we'll see Ronan McNamee back soon which will help. Great performance today. The defensive effort was immense and you see after every turn over that they were stung by the criticism and had a point to prove. Hopefully this is the catalyst to kick on. Special mention to Matty Donnelly. What a warrior of a man, showing proper leadership in the big moments.
