Sludden
Meyler
Bradley
McAliskey
Harte
Donnelly

All really good forwards problem is they play more around the middle

Throw the shackles off Mickey

How many of them are scorers in the ilk of a McBrearty, Murphy, Paul Geaney, Andy Moran, Conor McManus, Paul Mannion etc?

None.

4 of them (Meyler, Sludden, Harte and Donnelly) are middle players who are most comfortable in the middle area of the field (5-12).

Unfortunately the modern game has changed, all the top inside forwards these days are 6ft plus nowadays. We don't have a top forward who has the physical presence to give us that threat.

I think we can certainly make adjustments to our attack to make it work better but the bottom line is we have a lot of very skilled forwards but we don't have any top bracket forward in our side.

While Harte gets a torrent of abuse for picking McCrory, I think his continued selections of McNamee, Kieran McGeary and Conall McCann should be as much of a contention. I don't like singling players out but I think playing these two lads in the half forward line is a very negative move. McCann is far, far too passive and I think McGeary plays wing back or he doesn't play at all. I think we have much better players who

The sending off and poor start obviously didn't help, along with the conditions but it's a real cause for concern.

The full back line is a massive concern, McNamee has been an embarrassment of late, his defending has been poor and his ill discipline make him a liability. I think we have to put Hamspey to full back, he's better further out the pitch but he's the best option at full back, I know Meyler and Rory Brennan are quite injury prone but I think they should be nailed on starters.

Team I'd like to see for Dublin:

1. O'Neill
2. McKernan
3. Hampsey
4. Cassidy
5. T McCann
6. R Brennan
7. Harte
8. McClure
9. M Donnelly
10. Meyler
11. Sludden
12. R Donnelly
13. Bradley
14. McHugh
15. McAliskey

done little? comes on again today with 4 mins to go. hardly much time to make an impact.

Yes, done little.

I'd rather McHugh gets a chance than Brennan, Brennan doesn't offer anything McCurry, Bradley etc don't.

Inside line once again choking us. RON, mc aliskey, mc shane, mc curry have been shown time and again not to be up to scratch. Why do we persist with these bluffers and refuse Brennan, Bradley and most of all McHugh time to prove their worth. f**ks sake it's frustrating.

Brennan has done little in a Tyrone Jersey yet to suggest he deserves a starting spot.

Do Tyrone radio stations provide better coverage?

It's usually shite enough too to be fair but I've never heard them accuse the opposition of rape before.

Molestation a few minutes earlier.

Jesus Galway bay fm. Bunch of clowns

Accused Tyrone players of rape and molestation already.

He then accussed McCurry of striking and kicking a player when his co-commentator said it was a shoulder in the back and the corner back was making a meal of it.

McCurry sent off

McNamee hooked after 20 minutes.

I think he will be very lucky to keep his place this year, way off it in the past 18 months and his discipline is questionable.

Looking forward to the attack of the farm animals next weekend.

Looking forward to your little snowflake tears.
any chance a Tyrone team could go and actually try to play good football?

Winning is more important than entertainment.
teams with integrity win it the right way

Team with integrity don't have to be entertainers.

That was shocking stuff where the better team were clearly beaten, Moy got very very lucky; They showed no ambition to win in the last 15 minutes, their manager is a very lucky man as the win had nothing to with anything he did.

That sums up some of the rubbish talked on here.

On the one hand we had an ghaeltacht the 1/4 favourites considered almost unbeatable at this level. They were second in division one in kerry this year, won the west Kerry championship and won the Munster final by 20 points. They contested an all Ireland senior final just over ten years ago.

They are up against a mid table division 2 Tyrone side that on league form were 23td best in the county. A team that has only won something like  4 games in the last 60 played without their county players. A team that won their first championship in 35 years in Tyrone and with virtually no championship history.

Both teams played defensively and it was tough January football. If anything an ghaeltacht showed less ambition with the possession they had. With 15 minutes to go the Moy were out on their feet giiven the work they'd put in. If they'd pushed up the kerry team would probably have countered and won easy. The Moy stuck to their task and got their rewards when the game was there to be won. Yet after an unbelievable victory against the odds you question their management. That says more about your knowkege of the game that anything.

Exactly but we all know one thing that really upsets southern GAA fans is Northern upstarts coming down and upsetting the natural order.

Marc o'Sé and Sean Kavanagh clash in All Ireland intermediate semifinal

https://youtu.be/jT1WneD6AXw

Thought Cavanagh rose above it fairly well, he's well used to the special attention he's got from Kerry through the years.

Does rising about it mean starting it all by trying to get a player sent off?

That's a very odd outlook to take. Cavanagh was trying to talk to the linesman yet Marc O'Se kept trying to physically provoke Cavanagh into reacting to him.

Proof positive of the prepared narrative when there are certain individuals involved.

No prepared narrative st all. It is not his job to pressure a linesman into anything. He is there to play football.  It annoys the head if me when players or management do that. It shows a lack of respect to other players and officials.

For the record I don't care who the player is. I help out with an underage team and players are told if they talk back to a referee or another player they will be taken off.

As a side note I am pleased to Moy won as I have a relative on the team.

I think players are allowed talk to match officials. Cavanagh was in no way aggressive approaching the referee. Marc O'Se had no business physically intervening.

Puke football alive and well in Tyrone.  Awful to watch

Alive and well in Kerry more like.

I'd have no grá for Kerry teams, but Moy were a man up, losing the game and yet they were defending with everyone back and no ambition going forward until injury time smash and grab.
The impetus should have been with them to attack

And An Gaeltacht had 80% of the possession, they had numerous chances to take shots on but were too preoccupied with keeping possession that they let scoring chances pass by.

That's Puke football to me.

I'm not trying to defend An Ghaeltacht - they contributed to an awful spectacle. But surely the reason they didn't take on the shots was becauw3 there were so many blue jerseys around them.
Some think the end justifies the means, some think there should be some entertainment and positivity from a game of football

It was because they were too preoccupied with killing time and holding onto rather than putting that dominance onto the scoreboard. They were 3/1 outsiders and won.
