Hopefully we get at least a draw. With a draw it would mean Donegal are still 2 points behind us and no head to head advantage. That and a home win against Mayo would do nicely!

Not at all. Tyrone will win by 6+ points.

Any sign of a Donegal team? Rory Gallagher never in a hurry releasing it

Donegal have been going well but in fairness they've only beaten the bottom two teams in the division Roscommon and Cavan with a surprise draw against Dublin. It would be know surprise to see them loosing their remaining games starting with a good hammering this weekend!

Tyrone have been going well but in fairness they've only beaten the bottom two teams in the division Roscommon and Cavan (in addition to struggling to beat 13 man Monaghan) with a surprise draw against Dublin. It would be know (?) surprise to see them loosing (?) their remaining games starting with a good hammering this weekend!

Watched the game on Periscope so don't take this as gospel. However in thr last Tyrone attack of ET did I see right? Tyrone attacking and the Donegal sideline boot 2 or 3 balls onto the field to disrupt the attack?
No wonder the management team are despised in their own County.

Sorry to burst the Throne ciorcaljerk but this isn't accurate.

Tyrone were going forward and there was a ball kicked in to the goalkeeper for the quick kickout.

it will probably cost Tyrone an AI over the next 5 years though.

Won't cost anything if they weren't going to win it in the first place.

He was chatting to Matt Cooper yesterday evening on the Last Word and he was saying that the 2005 & 2008 defeats to Tyrone were the worst defeats for him and the win over Donegal in 2014 was the best as they'd finally beaten the dreaded blanket defence.
Do Kerry have any dark sided players left now or was he their last?

Kerry lost all Irelands to Dublin, Armagh and Tyrone
They beat Mayo, Cork and Donegal
They would love to have been able to beat Dublin and Tyrone

I suppose the irony that they had to use the blanket defence to beat it was lost on Aidan.

Surely the apocalyptic final scene will show footage of this game to highlight the devastating impact of Jimmy's tenure.

27 wides in the game apparently.

Perhaps the standard of player who can shoot when the county boys are not available has a bit to do with it too.

Ah J70 pull your head out of you backside. Your county has destroyed the game and this club game is just an example of the mess that McGuinness has left behind. Personally I'd change all the rules and ban Donegal for life.

Hahaha, 5 years on and people are still parroting the same auld tripe!

and remember this is the team that has come closest to beating the Dubs in the last few years.

The team that came closest to beating Dublin in the last few years was Donegal, who beat them by 6 points in 2014.

I think our Donegal neighbours are very very very nervous about the possibility that they may well see the end of the team that has restored the pride in their Jersey and the thought that its the noisey neighbours next door that may put them to the sword is just to much for them to bear. The last week all I have read about in social media from the boys from the hill is that these young bucko's from Tyrone are over rate and havent been playing in Div 1 blah blah blah. I would like to point out to them the fact that Tyrone played Div 2 for 1 season and bounced straight back up again. Donegals season in division 1 ended haven beaten top teams Mayo Cork and Down. 2 of these teams already beaten by teams from lower divisions in the Championship. Tyrone on the other hand have remained unbeaten since the All-Ireland semi final last year in a game many people believe that they could and should have won.

Now I cant say for sure that Tyrone will win on Sunday but I do believe that if both teams bring their A game to this final then there will be only one side that will prevail and tgat is Tyrone. All of the best teams have their time and it usually lasts 5-8 years before they go into decline with their smoke being put out by the up and coming side. It happened with Tyrone a few years back before Donegal came along and now its time for the crown to move again. Tyrone by 4/5+. And for all our nervous Donegal folk out there relax its all part of life you grow old and die.

Is it not just the same as the Tyrone supporters predicting a Tyrone win? Don't really see the issue with it.

I also don't see the need to try to attach a "this is the end of Donegal" narrative to this. They they have the same age profile as Tyrone and save for 2 or 3 retirements will have the majority of the same team going forward.

Maybe it's that Donegal are 2 to 1 outsiders and all of the media are going for a Tyrone victory that's got you uneasy?
