And so it should. It's all cyclical. Galway and Meath. Down and Donegal. Cork and Derry. Tyrone and Armagh. Kerry's the only consistent.

Went and looked it up.

2004 - J Curran; N McGinn, P Marlow, D Burke; J Gilmore, N Kerr, M Murray; S O 'Hagan, R Mulgrew; C O 'Neill, M Cunningham, R McRory; G Devlin, C Cavanagh, A Cassidy. Subs - P.J. Quinn, C McCarron, J Kelly, S O 'Neill, S Donaghy

Those in bold stick out as players who have played senior for Tyrone. All around the 25/26 mark.

So only Donegal and Down left in and that's because they've only played Ulster teams.

4 years ago Tyrone were en route to another All-Ireland; today they exit at the stage as Antrim. Such a rapid descent into mediocrity.

"Only"??!!

So both teams don't have what it takes against teams from outside the province?

I may have been somewhat hasty about Donegal. Magnificent today and I hope they win her.

Only Ulster team to rise above the mediocre and by a distance too.

Another so called Ulster team got a complete tanking yesterday and they were at home they would have you to believe in Ulster in Clones so they can't use the 'we had to travel excuse and it cost us 2 points in the average game' that would make it 2-18 to 0-15. Even now teams within Ulster are mediocre-ing teams that are marginally mindset-wise possibly in Ulster. Well done to Donegal for being the first team ever in the history of the whole Ulster Senior Football Championship ever to win the Ulster Championship since the last team who won the Ulster Championship having played and obviously won in the Preliminary Round. It has never been done since until now. Incredible and unbelievable stuff.

Never worse.So much for development squads,sports scientists,dieticians,sports psychologists, wristbands etc.Worse,I can't see any improvement any time soon.

If you're referring to the wristbands Tyrone wore on Saturday, that was to show support for Oscar Knox, a 3 year old from Mallusk suffering with neuroblastoma.

Minors out is a big shock Ulster probably the worst province at underage when only a few years ago it was the best.

Dissapointing that no Ulster Minor teams are contesting AI semi Finals although the Minor Championship is very much flawed Kerry have been beaten twice this year and yet find themselves in a SF. Dublin are the only Provincial winner left and might I add I think they'll win the AI. Tipperary, Roscommon and Tyrone were all First time losers and yet they're out. I think that Tyrone exhibited a niavety against Meath which resulted in their defeat especially in the closing stages. Meath are a good side so maybe we shouldn't be so disappointed.
