OVER-RATED or under-rated you decide?

alan brogan? overrated?
Not a chance, he is one of the best even if he plays with dublin.
Mayo being the luckiest, well in 2004 tyrone drew level with a goal but then mayo closed them down and scored 3 or 4 more nice points to win the game.
Tyrone may meet Mayo sometime soon again in the championship,i would like it to be this years semi or final just for the crack, we could see how the great tyrone do it this time.I hate sore losers but i really hate bad winners.

I have no love for either Mayo or Tyrone but get real will ya, Mickey Harte's men are a vastly superior team no matter what way you look at it

Even IF Mayo could match them in terms of quality, they're missing the one vital ingredient -Tyrone revel on the big day, Mayo implode

nrico2006 you said earlier 'Peter Donnelly from my own Tyrone - I dunno if you'd call him over-rated, as few actually rate him. But hes been laying about the Tyrone panel for a while and to be honest hes clean useless.'

You obviously havent been watching any of the sigerson games then, donnelly along with raymond mulgrew (another player quoted as over rated) have been immense for the poly! donnellys performance against DCU was awesome and he kept paddy keenan quiet all day and made a last minute block with his face when the poly were under pressure, inspirational! Mulgrews constant piss taking of Dublins Paul Casey was a joy to watch throughout the game!

That reminds me---most over rated...Paul Casey, how he makes the dublin team is beyond me, complete headless chicken!

reading through this cant believe gooch and stevie mac get a mention in the over-rated bit?

??
shane ryan is defo over-rated his run out in the aussie rules fiasco puts him in this catagory.
also "star2 Donaghy" the fact that a player has one good season and is nicknamed star says it all.
being from armagh you'd expect me to say oisin is under-rated all i know is we had him for a few training sessions last year and away from the hype and pressure of performing we got a glimpse of his skill and it is truely awsome repeat awsome i think he hit the big time too young and has developed a persona that puts people off.

No one denies Tyrone are in the top two with Kerry and any team that has won two of the last 4 titles is a serious outfit.

Looking at the relative merits of what will happen if they meet you might benefit from looking at the recent history of this fixture in both the league and Championship. We have a very good record against this Tyrone team and while that would count for very little in our next meeting it counts for a lot more than this crap: "they're missing the one vital ingredient -Tyrone revel on the big day, Mayo implode"

Mayo have won 4 of their last 5 AI semi-finals since 1996. Whether teams underestimate us at that stage or whether we just know how to win semis I dont know. But I wouldn't be surprised to see us back in a final in September. That of course is where our problems start.

Hitzelsperger, you said

I never said anything about Mulgrew, have been watching him for years and he was the main man in 2004 all ireland minor win. He has the potential to be a tyrone great. But as for Donnelly, I stand by what I said. Hes not up to the job, simple as that. Theres a big difference in playing sigerson and senior inter-county championship, and Peter Donnellys numerous weaknesses have been shown time and time again.

Congrats. They give out nice medals for winning semis don't they?
