Tír Eoghain vs Áth Cliath '08

[INDIANA]

with all due respect mike your crowd did a great whinge after your crap performance against monaghan last year. it was all " 6 week breaks" etc. the reality is you were absolutely shite on the day and should have been beaten. So maybe the next time Mike before you post , engage the dormant organ inside your mallet and then post , rather than  posting shite like the above.

Someone said that on RTE after the match on Sat Dooher said 'we'll have a couple of weeks rest now sure'.
Did he know something we didn't ?

Everybody knew we were getting Dublin - didn't you ? 

[Bensars]

Was on the Res dubs site and despite all the usual Jackeen bravado the game being put back to the 16th has unsettled them.

[INDIANA]

not enough for us to get beaten though .
its unfair on the players, i couldn't give a rats ass for the bandwagon dublin supporters who can't get tickets in a double header situation, but the players had all taken days off work next week , now they have to get those changed, now no matter what county you're from thats pretty unfair. People think i'm whingeing, i'm fed up with the dublin football team being used as an economic cash cow by the gaa. Even Keith Duggan said the same lads, so its not paranoia on my behalf. I'd love our county board to tell them to f**k off and insist on playing next saturday, but they won't.

Tyrone have suffered so much at the hands of the Dubs that motivation will not be a problem
Negatives:
84 - Walked all over us
95 and Paddy Russellgate  - Took Tyrones all ireland.  Who ever will forget it.
Batlle of Omagh
Decapitation of Dooher (Parnell Park)

Positives:
The team that Mugsy cant lose to - always fabulous against
The Team that Mugsy scores excpetional goals against


Some might say its Dublins term but heres 5 reasons why Tyrone will win
Jayo could hardly make the dublin team 5 years ago now hes number 11 should bea tough one for Gormley!!!!
Brogan soup - mentally these guys are weak and can be rattled.
Mugsy - Who have Dublin got to mark Mugsy.  Ive seen this guy training recently and he is flying.  Will come into tjis game under the radar. 
Shane Ryan - due a bad game- I think it could all go horrible for him on Saturday week. 
Dublin dont know their best team yet. 

[INDIANA]

this is the same mugsy who hasn't started a game all season? We're quaking in our boots.Mugsy isn't in the 2005 form and he isn't likely to be in 2 weeks.he was terrific in 2005 but injuries ahve ruined his season and its difficult to see him taking us to the cleaners. O neilll was always the one anyway, an absolute genius who tyrone have never replaced. I always felt O Neill was one of the best forwards of the last 20 years.
Brogan is a top 6 forward in the country, tyrone have no-one currently in that bracket. I'd love to see Tyrone try and rough up Shane Ryan, he'd take great pleasure putting one of them into row x. the man is a force of nature.
Jayo ironically at 33 is better now than he was at 19. strange but thats the way some people develop.

The point about mugsy is spot on and you would get no arguments from me there.  Brogan may be one of the top forwards in the game right now but he will have to be at the top of his game to play well against a Tyrone defence thats is playing pretty well.  Ryan is undoubtedly in great shape but he will be coming up against a very strong and athletic Enda Mcginley who I think will be more than fit for him - their tussle will be intruiging I think.

It would be a biteen difficult seeing as there are 2 other games on and Tyrone wont be turning up till the following Saturday 

Is Dublin's real problem that they wanted to play against some team who'd be out for a 4th weekend in a row?

[INDIANA]

its irrelevent now, we just wanted to play when we were fixed . a lot of the players had booked friday off next week etc etc. You know its easy for us all to bitch about this and that, but its the players who get screwed over. They have lives outside football, the Gaa tends to forget that and its happened to other counties as well.

Would you be happy to go an play in Cavan next Saturday then? Croke Pk is being used for other games.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Mugsy's season in '05 didn't really take off until that goal against Dublin in the first game, and he never looked back from it. Not saying that we're on for a repeat, but Dublin in Croke is definitely Mugsy's favourite tie.

Even Pearse Park would suit Tyrone, sure our Minors are already playing there this Saturday
