Absolutely infuriating performance from Tyrone but they dug it out when it mattered fair play to them.

Football bloody hell as they say.

Quote from: gallsman on June 28, 2025, 07:57:47 PMDeserved win for both Tyrone and stood up when it mattered but Christ that was a poor display from both teams.

Yeah, far too much faffing about by the Dubs up front, dropping shots short and turning down good opportunities for scores.

If Armagh and Galway both win, is the Semi Tyrone v Armagh and Donegal v Galway as Armagh already played both of them?

Tyrone can play better than that but stood strong enough to easily hold off the wimpiest ever  last quarter challenge from Dublin.

Congrats to Tyrone, i suppose it was slippy, but a strange game, looked like 2 poor enough teams after watching the Donegal 2nd half display.

Niall Morgan is in a bit of a run of stinking form.

A semi final  exit beckons.

  Jimmy's whingeing matches?

Thought we were poor enough. Dazzler and Daragh not at it today. But a win is a win, so can't complain.

Tyrone didn't need to be at their best to win that pulling up.  Writing on the wall for Dublin coming into that game,  not good enough to win Leinster this year and only fell over the line against a poorly organised Cork last week. Their weapons of better fitness and strength in depth than their opponents in the knock out stages is no longer there.

Donegal hugely impressive in the 1st game will take some stopping now.  Big Jim said afterwards the statement during the week was nothing to do with him and his players.

I thought he was brilliant today apart from 2 or 3 mistakes. Was able to get his kickouts away which weren't happening the past few games. Kicked points too and cut out a goal chance and caught balls which were easy enough in fairness but under those wet conditions still did well

Should I be cheering for rain from now on?

Yes Tyrone/Dublin was a sloppy, even an ugly game, but because they struggled to score, I found it more interesting than all the exciting shootouts we've been watching.  The intensity from both teams was great.

I find myself cheering for the defences these days.  Of course I've always done that when watching Canadian or American football.  Maybe I'm just weird.

Dublin were very poor today. Tyrone were ... less poor.

What on earth are you on about. There was a kick of the ball in it with about two minutes to go. Closing it out with stone last minute scores is not "pulling up".

No. Could be Tyrone v Galway or Donegal v Galway as neither would be repeat pairings.
