Tyrone V Monaghan AIQF 2015

[GrandMasterFlash]

Monaghan in Croke Park are a different team to Monaghan in Clones. They actually put it up to Dublin in the league in Clones, but seemingly get blinded by the big floodlights of Croker and don't know what to do.

You beat us by more than 10 points in Clones and by 1 point in Croker this year; I'm struggling with your logic? Obviously you hammered us in the quarter final last year but I don't think it's a fair comparison. 

There shouldn't be too many floodlights needed in at 4pm in Croke Park in Aug, although you'd never know with this 'bleedin wedder.

Definitely have to give monaghan lots of credit and respect for what they have achieved with probably their best ever group of players.  It's probably the  last throw of the dice for a number of the group.   I think monaghan are in the mindset for all Ireland finals whereas Tyrone are in bonus territory.  Think the team and management have really had a great run at it.  But as a Tyrone man it makes me  sad to say that it is Monaghan who will be everybodies favourites to win by 5 or 6 points. This monaghan team are determined to put Sam on the mantlepiece at castle Leslie?

On the potential retirees, would Tyrone not have a few also: S Cavanagh, Joe McMahon??

I would put the house on Monaghan tbh, not surprised at the odds at all, Monaghan  by 3+ for me.

Would be happy to be proven wrong as I don't particularly care a jot for Tyrone, but they should have enough to beat Monaghan here.

Here's a typical Dub showing what he knows about football.

Monaghan man at the match yesterday was telling me that monaghan have never won a championship match in croke park...is that true?

[omagh_gael]

They beat Kikdare after extra time last year in Croker.

They beat Kikdare after extra time last year in Croker.

And we had a win 84 years before that!

Can't see either Tyrone or monaghan or anyone  stopping kerry this year.

Only a week to discuss this.

Thank god!

A tough dirty sledgefest with cards of all colours .

Viewers discretion etc

Couldn't call it .No doubt the ref will make a telling contribution.

Not much of a prize for monaghan if they bate Tyrone.

Is there a chance that this could be orourkes last game in charge of monaghan.

What makes you think that? Last year he extended his contract until the end of 2017.

They need to bring Eamonn McEneaney out of retirement to take the frees.
