Quote from: trileacman on June 29, 2025, 04:41:47 PMSame thing again there with the keep-ball tactics before halftime. When you've Enda McGinley rattling on about control and game-management you know you've the wrong rules in place.

I know there was instances of keep-ball before and the hooter came in but it's now established practice across all levels to kill time.

You're like a man swimming in clear blue, beautiful waters, on a sunny day on an uncrowded beach, surrounded by friends and family, complaining that some other family - keeping their distance - happens to be there.

You're upset but you don't know why.

What the f**k are you on about?

That you'd find misery in anything

Meath could beat Donegal, do not write them off.

Big time. I honestly don't know what to expect as we haven't really played this new Meath team. I do know to expect serious effort and energy and, in Morris and Costello, some serious forward play.

There is a hilarious irony or a glaring lack of self awareness here. And I'm not sure which it is.

Quote from: SouthDublinBro on June 29, 2025, 05:39:21 PMDick Clerkin was right about this Armagh team.

What did he say about them?

Weakest team to ever win the AI.
Clerkin is a gobshite and is bit rich coming out with that from Monaghan.
A team can do no more than win the All Ireland in a given year.. Tyrone constantly had to listen to that begrudgery. . Puke football.. covid All Ireland..    :D
Did Clerkin actually say that? Before the Ulster final  he wrote 'as reigning All-Ireland champions, they demand respect' and thought they could beat Donegal. He also said that Armagh still have a lot to prove before being ranked as serious AI contenders this year.
Dick has being proved absolutely correct, Armagh like Monaghan went out without a whimper

He said that yesterday's game against Donegal was Monaghan's biggest in 20 years
Most probably he didn't say that either.

Quote from: Truthsayer on June 29, 2025, 03:28:33 PMHope Tyrone get Meath. Don't rate them at all. Galway very poor..

We'll see you in the final so. You can have ago at us then!  ;)
It won't be the next manager but the one after that Meath will become competitive again - MO'D 2016

Paddy Power odds

To win the All Ireland

Donegal 7/5
Kerry 6/4
Tyrone 4/1
Meath 11/1


The matches

Donegal 2/7 Meath 7/2
Tyrone 21/10  Kerry 8/15


Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

WT4E

Will they just put the minors back a week and do a double header. Would make sense and give the lads a bigger day out!

He did say it on the Indo podcast the other day.

Then he was wrong, it was at best the 2nd most important game Monaghan were to be involved in since the sf v Kerry in the last century. Is that the best you have got against Dick? being over optimistic about his own counties chances in their bid to reach the AI semi final?

Aaron Boone

Tyrone will be happy to share the same pitch with Kerry, learning what they can and seeing how they can improve for the future. Even games you lose can be learning  experiences. 

Kerry will now win the All-Ireland so it's a matter of housekeeping until the Sam returns to the Kingdom.

I know the Tyrone ones will be at the bolloxology for a fortnight now but really what have they got to fear? Kerry's full hand on display today, MOR is the man to put a plan in place and Tyrone have the forwards to beat anyone. Free shot. I'd say Tyrone & Donegal would both beat Kerry tbh.

SouthDublinBro

For all of Jim's complaining, Donegal only having to beat Monaghan and Meath in the knockouts to reach an All Ireland final is extremely fortunate.

They'll need Kilpatrick and Kennedy to really step up if they're going to put manners on O'Connor. He was unreal today.

All the inside forwards for Tyrone are small and nippy. Meath have Costello, Kerry have Clifford, Donegal with a few options.
They need some size to mix it up.
