The only scoring Mugalligan will be doing will be with Mickey's daughter again.

And this time boys, make some noise.

[ziggysego]

Who's Mugalligan?

[forkinknife]

Mulligan. OK i've been drinking but thats normal for monadys.

[realredhandfan]

Mugalligan?
Sounds like some sort of Dublin crime Lord.

[tayto]

Fingers crossed ther'll be another one for the charts Tayto eh!!!

I was kinda hoping he'd leave it for 2007, I like him though, think the hill bring out the best in him and you've got to admire that in a player.

Should this not be on the National League 2007 thread? Joke.. ba bum tish!  

The hill Id imagine would be the most intimidating crowd experience imaginable to a forward in GAA, and even a top forward would have good and bad days under that type of pressure.  A sensible man wouldnt do to much celibrating as it could come back to bite him.  Having said that theres nothing more exciting in Gaelic football than Cosgrove or Sherlock banging one in under the hill and jumping onto the fence.  Its Dublins hill,  its tradition in the GAA, as opposition you'll always be welcome on it, but what Mayo did last year I wouldnt agree with, albeit it worked for them.  As far as neutral games go,  In 2003 the Armagh team tried to take the hill off the Tyrone team before the game and there was a few men left with bruised egos and bottoms.  They now say many of that Armagh team are finished, over the hill.

Floodlit tie to set new record attendance
-  from Setanta.com

A new record attendance for a National League game will be set when Dublin meet Tyrone in next month's historic switching-on of Croke Park's new floodlights.

The current record attendance for a National League game was set in 2003 when Dublin and Armagh drew 53, 000 to Croke Park.

Over 60, 000 tickets have now been sold for the Division 1A opener between the Blues and the O'Neill County at Headquarters.

The tie, which has been the subject of a huge media marketing campaign, may even attract a full house (82, 300) to the Jones' Road venue with a carnival atmosphere the order of the day.

A formal ceremony will mark the switching-on of the new lights, which will also be used for International rugby and soccer matches later in the year.

"The GAA have confirmed that in excess of 60,000 tickets have now been issued for the meeting of Dublin and Tyrone in the Allianz National football league at Croke Park on Saturday, February 3rd," read a GAA statement.

"The remaining tickets are currently on sale through the normal county board and club sources in the participating counties, from the GAA Website, through Ticketmaster Outlets Nationwide and in the Croke Park area from McCaughey's Shop on Clonliffe Road, Benny's in Emmet Street and the Skylon Hotel."

The cost of illuminating Croke Park was a fraction over €5 million with the Irish government contributing €3.65m.

The Dublin-Tyrone clash will be shown exclusively live on Setanta Ireland at 7.00pm on Saturday 3 February.

Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, I will not be able to attend the game. I'm gutted about that
