Sam Maguire 2024 Group 3 - Donegal, Clare, Tyrone, Cork

[Armagh18]

Ulster while been competitive is not the B all and end all. Even Leinster would be hugely competitive with Westmeath Kildare louth Meath probably winning it over last decade if not for Dublin dominating. Munster same with tipp (who did win one) clare cork and maybe even limerick if no Kerry. Ulster is competitive no doubt. But Dublin would have at least 10 of the last 12 ulster titles and Kerry maybe 8.

ah now, that's like saying the SPL would be competitive if the Glasgow teams weren't in it. But they are, and Dublin are. It's almost like saying the other teams are all as shit as each other.
 Dublin and Kerry are A+ grade teams. Ulster has 4 A-B grade teams who tear strips off each other. I would like to see how Dublin and Kerry would get on having to be at your best for 2-3 games in a time of the season where they are usually on the beach.

Dublin have swept aside ulster teams as easily as they have Leinster for most of the last decade.

If you're going to double down, best to make it a good one!

How many have they met? Cavan in 2020, Monaghan last year, Tyrone in a final and semi final. Long time from us, Derry or Donegal played them.

Ah of course they would. But they wouldn't have had it as easy as they do in Leinster imo. 

[Truthsayer]

Went to purchase ticket for Tyrone v Clare last night... £22! I genuinely thought it would be bout £12. Maybe I'm very niave. Anyway I won't be there. Ridiculous pricing.

I'd agree with that. But Meath did hold them to 6 points with them getting a penalty that wasn't and we not getting one that was. However that was only one game. I honestly think it's the scars that have left it so easy on dubs. Getting beat once or twice is alright. However when it becomes known before games then it becomes a what's the point exercise. Look what they did to cavan yesterday. 

[J70]

How come Donegal always play that bit better against Tyrone?

No we don't. Got hammered last year after a spirited win over Monaghan. 2021 they beat us with a few to spare, albeit after Murphy missed a penalty and got the line. It goes back and forth.

Is there any local radio coverage that covers Tyrone GAA matches?

Clare fm are covering it

[Blowitupref]

Half time Tyrone 2-3 Clare 0-5.

Half time Tyrone 2-3 Clare 0-5.

The Tyrone 2 with 2-2! (Devlin)

Clare FM commentary very good

Yes impressive scoring by a defender. As ever Clare FM is good.

Tyrone 3-15 Clare 0-10 it finished.

A very limited Cork team beating the Ulster Champions shows what a poor state Ulster football is in right now.

Shows the opposite. Shows what it takes out of a team to come out of ulster. Unlike other areas where teams come out of it in 2nd gear.

[omagh_gael]

Cork 4pts 4+
Donegal 2pts +5
Tyrone 2pts +7

Going to be an exciting finish to the group in 2 weeks. If Tyrone can beat Cork and stay within 2 points of Donegal's score (assuming they beat Clare) then we'll top the group.

Cork just have to Draw and they top the group

Donegal need a win and beat Tyrone's score by 1 and they'll take it on the top spot (assuming tyrone beat cork)

Yet last year there were two Ulster teams in the AI semis. Year before could easily have been two.

We'll see where things stand in another month.
