Great win, brilliant performances all over the field. I find it hard forget the abuse Kieran Mcgeary got on this message board just a few short months ago yet he's a contender for footballer of the year now ;D

MC geary has been amazing. His discipline in the tackle is unrecognisable from last year. That's what proper coaching gets you. No more Gavin Devlin ' coaching'.

Meyler and McGeary are different players, that performance had Doohers attitude slapped all over it. One of the sweetest Tyrone victories, but it will be forgot about if we don't bury Mayo, mighty few weeks ahead

The roundabout at Strabane will get the makeover by tomorrow.

Agree on McGeary being amazing. Disagree on the disrespect to Gavin Devlin.  Despite your anonymity it's safe to assume Gavin has contributed significantly more to Tyrone football than you have.

safe to say Tyrone football has contributed significantly more to Gavin's bank account than it has mine.

Gavin would need to teach his son to pass the ball

That was a magnificent performance,   and result  , superb

Obv seniors overshadow the minor result but by f**k they missed some chances. Very very poor decision making in last 5 mins. Poorly coached? Panicked? Don't know what it was but Jesus it was infuriating. One left behind for sure.

Clear that Harte had been holding this team and Tyrone football back. Cost us at least 5 all Ireland's. We're probably 20 years behind we're we should be. Logan and Dooher making up the ground now thankfully.

No doubt he's a very talented footballer but he should be told to lay the ball off to the shooters. His wide count over the course of the championship is unforgivable.

It's been a recurring theme on this forum for a while that personal abuse of players goes unpunished. During the match yesterday I noticed a comment in this thread about an individual player and reported it to a mod.  There seems to be a set of posters, some with multiple accounts who are continually posting abuse. The best way to deal with it is to report.

I am not saying criticism of individuals is wrong but the campaigns of abuse against players outside of footballing matters has gotten out of hand.

Imagine there was posters on here slagging off Kieran McGeary and he's now outright favourite with the bookies to win footballer of the year. The mind boggles with how blinkered some lads can be.

I think God was being a bit of a cute hoor talking down Tyrone, or maybe he wanted to give the players extra motivation. I think the 15 that started in 2005 were one of the best to ever play the game, but I don't think there was the same depth of options as now. I think it was a bit harsh for Canavan to say only 2 or 3 players would make that team. I think there are a good 20 players who could have slotted in to the 2005 team.
