I think people are sleeping on Manchester United. Have been active in the transfer window and have been going from strength to strength with each passing season since Ferguson walked away. I think this season they will win either the PL or UCL (not both). In terms of the FA Cup, I think it is losing its novelty and is becoming more and more irrelevant

because it the rules and when Government are deciding how many can enter this is one of the considerations

Why isn't croker classified as outdoors? Surely it the precautions of separation through the use of pods, surely that will suffice?

If you still wear a mask everywhere some would say you are a sucker and can't make your own decisions.

Conbacht people do the right thing.
There was hardly a mask to be seen at the other 2 Finals or at that Cork Hurley stuff!

Why should you have to wear a mask when sitting if allocated with a pod of 5 people maximum?

Just catching up on some GAA podcasts, and hadn't realized that after the 4 provincial finals, Kerry were installed as favourites for Sam by all the bookies.  Probably 2011 the last time the Dubs weren't favs at the semi final stage.
Not sure whether Tyrone being severely hampered or pulling out will help or hinder them come the final.

They will have to beat Tyrone first.

Good laugh that. A few points.
Sluddens not playing for Dromore, mcrory completely done as is P Kane.
Mugsy did indeed play half forward in his first year and was damn good at it in a few games.
Hard to believe people would have packie in ahead of Morgan. A man tha wore  rugby boots to kick the ball out with. Brilliant shot stopper thou.
From my memory I think Art brought in Hub, Cormac, Philly, Mcguigan, Oneill, Mugsy into the panel in 02. Maybe a few more? Probably Mccrossan as well. Tyrone were so exciting to watch around that time with it all building up to the win in 03. Clones used to be jam packed at championship games and the Tyrone support was mental. Very vocal as well. Compare the Monaghan support at the ulster final to Tyrone support. It was embarrassing, hardly a whimper out the Tyrone contingent, those that bothered to travel.

Its a shame someone would use Cormac to try and troll on here but I suppose everyone has there flaws.
There is grt clip on youtube I seen, against Cavan around 02/03 of him dunting Dermot Mccabe in mid air with his hips and catching the ball. The ref unbelievably gave a free to Cavan. He immediately set the ball down on the ground, they kicked it in long straight away and reilly got a goal. That's how honest a player he was. No shite with him. What a role model. What he achieved from 97 to 04 with Tyrone was unreal. A true legend

McAnallen true Gael. Played with his heart on his sleeve. But, what's fair is fair and he misses out on my 2000s team.

All valid opinions, in hindsight I would maybe put S. O'Neill in for McShane. I think the physicality of today's game S. O'Neill's skill would not do nearly as much damage as if you put C. McShane into an 03 AI final. He would annihilate everything in his path. Colm McCullagh is a certainty in this time - the amount of times he has dragged Tyrone to wins is insane. O'Neill only played well when the team played well. McCullagh was one of if not THE most consistent player for Tyrone in the past 20 years with the exception of Sean Cavanagh of course.

McAnallen isn't near it either. I included him in the honourable mentions for his legacy not his football.

When I seen Morgan and mccrory left me baffled, is that justy or Joe in full back.. Has colly cavanagh in midfield ahead of hub Hughes. Richie donnelly ahead of Ger Cavlan (most naturally gifted and underrated footballers in Ireland)
You have selected mugsy in Wing half forward never seen mugsy play a senior game there ever, sure played a little youth there wouldn't have the work rate or legs for half forward. No mcguigan who pulled the strings in the naughties everything went through Brian, free kick outside 50 ball set down for mcguigan team of the decade. If your putting mcshane in for his one season wonder an honorable mention would then have to go to Ryan Mellon. Mcshane would annihilate seamus moynihan, you know they don't make them like they use too. Only thing I do agree with you is the stevie o Neill debate, mccullagg hardly kicked a ball for Tyrone because of his soccer allegiance, imo mccurry is better than mccullagh.. Mcanallens legacy, Tyrone found a 6'3 midfielder converted to full back a position he would have dominated for the next 8 seasons atleast. Viper has selected a Tyrone team mainly consistent of ulster winners. Morgan ahead of pascal lol no mistakes against monaghan he's due three the next day.. Consistency is key.

Hub over Col Cavanagh? Collie sitting pretty with an AI, 3 Ulster and 2 All-Stars in two different positions. No chance Kevin Hughes gets in over Colm. No. Chance.

Once I seen stevie o'neill was off the list I stopped reading it lol

Stevie is closest not to get in. If you watched as much Tyrone football as I did you would see clear as day why McCullagh gets in over him

I wonder will club teams be afforded cancellations and accommodation with covid issues for Club teams come Championship time...
;D some chance
Sligo weren't given any leeway in last years championship.
Obviously it's much more logistically challenging at the start of the championship rather than towards the end but still.

But still what? You've just clearly stated why Sligo weren't givien as much leeway.

LOL crazy stuff this!

I'd ring Teague from Dromore, and the two forwards from Clonoe

Clonoe play with 6 forwards please clarify which two?

Thought that was pretty obvious? Collie Doris & Ryan T O neill

With the way things are looking, if Dooher & Logan had to make a few last minute call ups to the panel who would you like to see?

Conall McCann would be the first man I would ring.

Since this young Kerry crop have started coming through who have they bet?

- 2017: knocked out by Mayo
- 2018: bet by Galway, knocked out in super 8s
- 2019: scrape by Tyrone, bet by Dublin
- 2020: don't make it out of Munster

It's hard to see Tyrone beat them now, but an All Ireland I could see them getting done on the day- by Dublin or Mayo

Only made the semi final once in the last three seasons
