tyrone have a hard road ahead of them if their to achieve their dream of back to back all irelands and be in contention for team of the decade. if they overcome kildare they could yet have to beat cork in the semi final and maybe face kerry in the final. thats a tough ask but back to backs aint easy

it makes it somewhat easier when you've thrashed your closest rivals for the accolade in all 3 meetings between them

Who is your rivals for back to back titles ? Armagh ?

pre-aif last year the press had the game billed as determining the team of the decade - given we have beaten kerry  each time we met them this decade in the championship surely this argument is over - but if we have to win another sam this year,do back to backs and beat kerry in the final to prove it then fine - bring them on

if kerry win the ai this year kerry are the team of the decade....

Back to back All-Irelands in order of the most recently completed back to back:

Kerry
Cork
Meath
Dublin
Offaly
Galway
Down
Mayo
Cavan
Roscommon
Kildare
Wexford

NB Limerick never had the chance to do it 1888 due to a tour of the US.

12 counties have done the back to back, this Tyrone outfit can't possibly be considered above any of those great teams unless they do it.

Ah the team of the decade debate . I think Tyrones record to date is up their with the best of them very few teams have won 3 in such a short period of time .This year is looking good for your guys with only the dubs and cork the only other contenders

Pity then they have won more All-Irelands, made more semi-finals etc while you have been beaten by the likes of Mayo and Laois etc...

You ll note they have nt been beaten by the likes of Dublin so they have nt stooped too low over the past few years.
