The Canavans. What else is there to say? If Tyrone get to a semi and Darragh puts in one more big performance he's in with an all star regardless of who wins the all ireland.

Back to my mckenna point earlier in the week and the Meyler MOTM. I think that's why football is not as enjoyable anymore
.mangers and supporters seem to back the mundane reliable player as opposed to the maverick.

Give me the moment of genius from mckenna as opposed to the meyler talking about sleeping patterns any day of the week.

Anyway think we go to a semi now.

Strange comment given Tyrone have a forward line with two canavans and McCurry. Plenty of excitement there. The likes of mattie, Harte etc aren't bad either. There's a lot more all round skill and flair to the team than the 95 team for example.

I don't care what meyler talks about either, he's a brilliant player. Can take s key opposition player out of the game while putting in huge shifts himself.

Agreed, Meyler should really have got footballer of the year in 2021, spent the summer shutting down the opposition's main men while also contributing further up the field. And one of the players who has maintained that form since. A great player!

Maybe Donegal weren't the best last night but a much better Tyrone performance. Hopefully we can give the next one a real go too and see what happens.

Before yesterday he was 11th place in scores from play in Championship. He's in with a shout but imo still behind Clifford and McGuigan. It all depends how the respective teams do.

Bring on Derry, the dubs can wait

I hope we get the dubs - The one team we haven't managed to beat.  I think we can beat all the others. Still a bit worried about Quinn at 5 and Mc Geary at 11 but we look good everywhere else. Hon Tyrone

Not really a fair stat as other teams have played more games and the likes of Con got to feast on weaker teams like Laois / Louth.
But all stars are usually based on the semis and final so would need to get there.

Yeah all stars solely based on semi final and final. Shane Walsh prime example last year. Ok up to the final then had a performance of the ages and got the all star and in the running for player of true year based on 1 game. Canavan has been exceptional. I think he can get even better still.

Not sure about this. There are plenty of examples of Quarter finalists getting all stars although they have to be exceptional. Im not sure Canavan has earned it yet, but maybe if he brings a similar performance to the QF even if tyrone bow out.

Well maybe solely is a bit strong but looking back on the last 4 full seasons where we've had quarter finals by my count there has been 58 of the 60 all stars given out to players who have reached the semi finals.

McGeary was the best he's been in a long time yesterday. His conditioning must be off though as he was hooked early. For a Tyrone team they're not overly hateful bar McKernan! This might change if we draw youse next weekend  8)

That's disappointing we only have one unlikeable player. We would like to get that up to maybe 5 of the starting team to be hateful fckuers.

A slabber and dives all the time also.

A bad combination.
