16k in Omagh. Thought this game was sold out?


Super 8s not working out.

Super 8's working out just fine. Every game doesn't have to be a sell out.

Eh! There will be less than 20k tomorrow between both games, you need big crowds, sense of occasion and €€€.

It's not reaching its KPIs.

KPIs eh?  I will bet you anything you like there will be a lot more than 20k at tomorrow's games.

This evening's game in Omagh had a big crowd, a sense of occasion & I'll bet it made money.

Will need more than 11,800 to turn up in Clones, Kerry mightn't bring more than 2k so will need around 10k Monaghan fans to turn up which will be possible but not guaranteed.
I'd say quite a number of neutrals will turn up for this & I can assure you that there will be 15,000+ Monaghan supporters there.

Tyrone not too far away and I feel they played the game too safe for the most part.

On a given day, from here on, they've a sniff.

IF they meet again, it'll be a repeat of last year in Croke Pk. Tyrone simply don't have the spread of players to put the ball over the bar consistently. It's been their achilles heel for a good while. It was a very good hardy aul battle tonight.

In the modern era, for a team to go so many championship matches unbeaten is extraordinary.
You may well be right, but full credit to Tyrone for pushing such a great side to the limit.

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

Only 3 points in it but Dublin never looked like losing. They seem content to just do enough at the minute.

Rubbish, Dublin were in trouble & Tyrone were on top & had they scored that easy free it would have been a one point game.

Nothing changes. Same old same old. Dublin have destroyed this sport.

I'd rather watch Dublin than watch Roscommon any day of the week.

Dublin are toying with them

Dublin look the more likely but "toying"? I don't think so.

I think they can step it up at any moment

Nobody "toying" with anyone now.

Oh wait, they have

Murphy gets away with so much stuff
Steps - he overcarries all the time,  twice he dangerously jumped into a Roscommon player, he backed into enda Smith without even going for the throw up yet wasn't penalised.
Oh, and he throws most handpasses.
Referee was a joke. Joke
Rearrange the following words, grapes & sour.
Roscommon were beat out the gate & only poor Donegal shooting kept any respectability on the scoreboard. The referee was the least of their problems.
The rules have to be applied equally and fairly to all players and both teams

Tyrone still in this, surely Dublin won't lose their one away game?

Tyrone need to have a go here, they have nothing to lose but seem very nervous about committing men forward.
