tyrone v's wexford 2008 Ai semi final

[rrhf]

As much as I want Tyrone to win, as long as someone stops that Kerry outfit Im happy enough.   For me the most important thing is that we win playing outstanding football as we did last week.  Someone has to be the benchmark of top class Gaelic Football. Come on Tyrone keep setting the standards - I think Gaelic Football needs a new hero after a shambolic couple of years.  Come on Wexford and Tyrone lest rise to the challenge and may the best team win.

Looks like they sorting out the tickets for the triple bill now and sorting out the tickets for cork and kerry. They will be available soon id say once they make the announcement

I'd say there won't be many decent tickets for sale on ticketmaster this week. I'd say they'll all be in the clouds due to the obvious demand that has now been created by the triple header.

Original post was before i knew about the replay being put on the bill ... tickets still not up for sale but id say that'll change later today probably

[red hander]

Sorted ... four in top deck of Cusack on halfway line ... CMON TYRONE!

It's almost impossible to guard against complacency. No matter what Mickey says, or the players tell themselves, they and everyone else will subconsciously assume a seamless continuation from the final whistle against Dublin. Experience also shows that teams very rarely produce two excellent performances in a row. It seems to be a law of nature. The 'bounce effect', as they call it in racing, is real - much more so in football than racing. It's insidious and more often than not fatal to a team's chances.

I think everything is set up in Wexford's favour for Sunday. I nearly always base my bets on stats and precedent rather than form. You mighty say the stats show Wexford haven't appeared in an AIF for nearly a century, but the bounce effect precedent is strong enough for me to have few bob on the yellabellies.

Very true Hardy though Wexford have had two good victories in a row and are entitled to "bounce" too. I'd like to draw parallels with '03 when Tyrone excelled against Fermanagh and then raised themselves again against Kerry in the semi-final. There is no doubt that Wexford (like Kerry in '03) will be a serious challenge.

I agree with rrhf, it's up to Tyrone and Wexford to restore some pride in football, after the shambles yesterday.

The bookies', pundits' and neutrals' favourites all point at Tyrone, but they were all pointing at the wrong team last weekend. Only the people of Tyrone well sure of the real result.

Anyway, I can see this being another classic game of football. A Tyrone team proving they've still got what it takes and a Wexford team proving that they aren't the flash-in-the-pan team of 2008.

Expect exciting football, expect good football and assure, expect a much closer game than the Dublin game. It's a game for the taking for either of the two teams. I strong suspect that Sam will be resting with the winners of this side in 08/09.

Sure we wont beat Tyrone either

I wouldn't write them off yet. Did you expect them to be in the semis at the beginning of the year? Did you expect them to bounce back after the defeat to Dublin?

Wexford have a lot more to give and if they make the final, there'll be no stopping them.

Pat reffed our defeat to Down but I think he's a good ref, especially for the latter stages of the Championship.
