One referendum can be overturned no probs to Arlene so by that logic...silly twat using that language. The amazing thing about the north at the moment is there isn’t even a revolt a descenting powerful voice. There is nobody even attempting to make a name for themselves from the sidelines, no leaders or potential leaders.

It would depend on who steps up. Brexit more or less is orange vs green to the DUP , they don't need anymore wind.

The media should be doing more to expose the DUP 's lack of planning for Brexit.

DUP leader Arlene Foster has said the Good Friday Agreement should not be considered untouchable in Brexit negotiations.

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Mrs Foster said it was not a sacrosanct piece of legislation.

Would it need a referendum to change it but?

No, just her SPAD to horse trade a little.

Arlene could be in bother after lunch, think she has just been set for a fall.

Dunno, they are all circling to throw Jonathan Bell under the bus. Making him out to be an unstable individual, who worshipped Peter Robinson and jealous of Arlene's leadership... 

"Jonny" he was obviously put in the post to be walked over. Arlene knew what was going on.

Anyone see Sean Cavanagh on BBC yesterday? Honestly, the more I see and hear about this, the more he goes down in my estimation. First the whole Nicholas Walsh incident, then the slating of Mickey and now this. All to sell another handful of books. Broken nose - yes. Bad concussion - not sure how they measure this but he looked fine to me. Suspected broken jaw - NO. Extensive facial injuries - he has a scratch on his nose. Has he no friends that would tell him to catch himself on?

What appeared to be a gash under the eye wasn't all it seamed to be.

So who will go from the panel this year. I would say McCarron McCrory R.O'Neill

Why would Ronan O'Neill go?  What age is he?

Always had high hopes for O'neill but think hes just below the required standard.

RON looked good for the super sub impact roll.. come in a muster up a goal late on. Looks like he didn't get his mojo together like a few others in the more recent games.

Having DD Mulgrew back from injury would be a help.

Was there not also other Managers of the time who also took Carthy's side and mentioned it to RTE.

Harte seems to be the only talked about there were others, if he was the only manager to voice an opinion it is cringe worthy, but it hardly made RTE's response valid.

Dublin's biggest weakness (yes...i know) is a weakness under a high ball onto their full back line - would there be a chance that Tyrone throw Colm Cavanagh up there for periods of the final? It's a potential way through - you lose what he does anchoring the defence but against Dublin in the Super 8 game he was largely rendered irrelevant as Dublin wouldn't actually go through the middle, instead slip down the sides, i.e. Rock pretty much playing out at the corner of goalline/end line.

Would Harte give this a go? I think it's a no go, but a big man in front of Cluxton tends to get him to do strange things like the Comer goal last Saturday - maybe a pity Tyrone don't have a 'big' natural forward.

If he wasn't in there holding the middle they'd probably go straight through it. Though maybe anyone in there would be enough to make them avoid it. Either way Colm Cavanagh is such a key part of the defensive set up I don't think he could risk moving him at this stage. We have seen less ball kicked in there as the season has went on and R Donnelly role as ball winner has become less effective. I think I'd start McAliskey and Harte up front with Bradley playing of them. Lee Brennan to come on with 20 minutes to go.

I was thinking this the other day. For certain periods of the game, say 7 min spells I would def put Colm in the full forward line. Start McAliskey and Bradley up front, bring Colm up for periods and pump quality high ball in. With Colm and McAliskey hopefully winning the ball a quick player like Bradley would be through on goal. Cooper and Phily are prone to fouling players but seem to get away with it. This would cause them a nightmare.

Bring brennan on for the 2nd half. I dont think hes fit enough due to a lack of game time this year to start.

The only other radical surprise would be to bring back Sean Cav and put him in full forward. Doubt this would happen though due to the comments he has made but remember in 08 mickey brought back Stephen O'Neill just for the final that year.

I like your thinking outside the box but I’d say there’s more chance of Peter Canavan coming back for the final than Sean Cavanagh.

Maybe Stevie O’Neill again?

Stevie would have to be named on the match day panel? he couldn't just be send on.

There must have been a method in he madness of putting Burns in the forwards.

I thought the ref was poor for letting Monaghan over-carry regularly around mid-way through the second half. It helped swing momentum Monaghan's way to get the scores to equalise.

Hughes non free was exactly that, he tried the same thing maybe 5 mins before hand and got a soft one.

Clearly the most important decision taken this year which is probably the key reason why we are sitting in an All Ireland final, was the decision to return to red shorts.

Absolutely, was thinking that earlier.

See McEntee putting pressure on the ref to not give us frees in today's Irish News. 2005 still hurting.

2005 will always hurt. More than 2003

It must have been the ref who made big Joe sub McGeany.

We're building a bit of a habit of semi-final defeats. 4 in a row now since beating Wexford in 2008?

I wouldn't worry. Monaghan have lost their last 6!

Have Monaghan ever beaten Tyrone then won their next match?

Its only their last 4 actually, we are all evens in that department!

I thought 1930 was their last final?

Didnt make the semis for their last two Ulster wins
