Coldrick let too much go in the second half. Bad decision making from the Dublin forwards but the ref 100% favoured Tyrone.

Take up golf.

I thought this board was all about opinions but seemingly not.
If someone doesn't agree, they just insult you

I was more than suprised McGeary got motm. He got overturned rather easily 2 possibly 3 times. I don't recall him getting a lotof breaking ball either. In fairness,  there was no real standout candidate for motm.

Monaghan will have huge regrets. They couldn't get out of their own way in the 2nd half but the game was there for them if they had kept the head and tagged on a few simple scores when they could. I dont know how many wides they had but it must have been at least 10 more than donegal. Thought the free before the goal was very soft but beggan was lucky he wasn't done for time wasting as well.

The 2nd game didnt get going until near the end. Dublin are a poor shadow of a few years ago. Tyrone probably deserved it but they got a few decisions near the end that helped them over the line

Was Sean Jones involved at all with Monaghan this year? He has good size and can score. Monaghan bench made little impact. David Garland been around that panel for years without doing much.

61,659 the attendance in Croke Park down on HQ expected 70k.  They are expecting 65k tomorrow

Tyrone and Dublin were out on their ass in the last 10 mins, players cramping, not fit to run etc, loads of subs. Was their game really that much more physical than Monaghan v Donegal where the teams seemed much fresher despite scoring more?

Thought myself he gave away a good bit of possession. Mattie Donnelly was better.

Ciaran Daly turning into a great wing forward after alot of shite performances.... maybe that's why boys like malachy get paid the big bucks. They know mor than us ladies and gents....u know what I mean Mucker.

I thought McGeary was excellent. Good 2-pointer and did a lot of trojan work in defence. Kicked one free straight to touch but I don't remember the other instances of him losing possession. One of the few players to have a good 1st and 2nd half. Thought Morgan was in the running for MOTM too or Teague who got nailed by a blow to the head but never tired.

What an epic day, left home at 11am and just in at 12.30am. Don't know how we managed a 7 point win after such a poor performance but we'll take it.

The key word for me is potential. We're in an AI semi final and have only played well in one game this year, up in Ballybofey.

Canavan and McCurry had absolute stinkers today but they are great players. Cut out the mistakes and get those two in form and we'll match anyone.

McElholm has to start for me though, we need that burst of speed, creativity and line breaking. He has got something that no other Tyrone player has.

As a neutral can I ask an honest question of GAA board contributers.

Why do the majority have a disliking for Jim Mcguinness.

Any time I hear the man talk I find him to be mannerly, articulate and an interesting character; never takes the praise himself always puts it on the players and supporters. Stands up for his own and is incredibly proud of where he is from.

Compare him to Davy Fits or even Damien Duff a character who alot of people like. He's the opposite is always blowing his own trumpet and questioning his players.

I know who'd I'd rather have.

Monaghan had 12 wides to Donegal's 4.  Both Monaghan and Dublin had 35 shots and scored 16 times. You won't win many games in the business end of championship with shooting like that.

Assume you missed all the decisions benefiting dublin in first half?
