At the end of the day, as Steigmaster has already said, doesnt matter who wins at weekend. Both teams wont be full strength and its only a league game.

Tyrone this year can mount a challenge to be the first county to win an AlL Ireland minor u21 and senior in the one year, In reality I think its nigh impossible but you have to give it a shot, we could just as easily lose all.. theres a lot of football to get played between now and September

Our old friend the 'champo' makes a welcome return on threads involving dublin

Cant believe Moran keeps getting his game at centre back, he's proved time and again that he's just not good enough.

I dont follow this. Moran has played very few games for the Dubs at centre back - I'd say I've seen most of the games he has played for the Dubs in the half-back line, and I cant remember him having a bad game there. So why do you say "he's proved time and again" that he's not up to playing centre back for the Dubs?

Certrainly, we'd need to be low on options before I'd play him in the forwards. Personally I'd rate Moran as our best left half back - though Brennan now has the opportunity to make his case for that position and may well overtake him.

Stagmeister · January 31, 2007, 02:36:10 PM

When I say he's proved time and again that he's not good enough I dont mean specifically his performances at CB. I think he has been poor wherever he has played for dublin half back or half forward and has proved that he is not good enough to play anywhere on the team. I know this sounds harsh but I just think its unfair on other lads on the panel that Moran keeps getting his game ahead of them when he isn't performing at all.

There's a difference between not being selected and not being available through injury or suspension!

Whats your point?? If they're not playing they're not playing...thats possibly the stupidest comment of all time!

Is that you Bobby Robson???

Jesus boys, there's sh1te being talked in the last few pages of this thread.
ie my team is weaker/ slower/ younger/ less experienced / less fit than yours.

Truth is in recent years both these teams are usually relatively well on in terms of fitness levels at this time of the year. Both have decent panels. Both have done fairly well in their respective pre-season comps. Both teams will show a comparable mix of established players and those who are trying to break through.

Defeat on Saturday will not be the end of the world for either team and both will hope to put in better performances later in the year than they do on Saturday.

Really looking forward to the match and I hope that it is an occasion that my kids will want to mention to their kids.

As befits my birthplace Tyrone by 2 or 3
