Aidan O'Shea

[Jinxy]

It was striking, watching the snippets they showed of him in action against Donegal, how often he caught clean ball, landed and carried the ball away without a Donegal man in sight.
Tyrone made sure there were bodies around him in the 1st half and he didn't like it one bit.
He won't dominate against either midfield that's left if you ask me.
Maher, Moran and Buckley are all excellent fielders and O'Sullivan, Bastick and MacAuley will harry and run all day.

Don't lose faith in your soul-mate, Hardy, here's him soaring into action for the throw-in:

I had expected Tyrone  to have a succession of players marking him, who'd all be more concerned about frustrating him than in out playing him at any time. Each would spend 10 minutes at most shadowing him and then would hand the task over to someone else before Deegan stepped in with a yellow card.
Unfortunately, lack of composure is his weakest trait and I was genuinely afraid that he wouldn't be able to cope with the constant niggling and would pick up a yellow card or worse before the end.
That nearly came to pass. However, that doesn't take from his football ability and I'd expect him to be better prepared for what comes his way in the final.

But it was my picture, thejuice?

Sometimes I think I've been permanently exiled in an under-fives playgroup for something awful I did years ago that I can't remember.

You listening to Brolly again. How wrong you were.

He didn't deserve the standing ovation - bit of an ego-massaging substitution.

If that irritated you you'd hate living where I'm living.....

I said to the brother 5 minutes before half time that Mayo would win comfortably if they kept 15 on the field.
It's fierce easy for a lad his size to pick up a yellow.

Really shocked he wasn't hooked a lot earlier tbh, he was only 1 silly foul away from missing the final and with that grinning clown Deegan reffing I thought Horan was dicing with danger by not subbing him with 15 to go.

Where was he today?

[GalwayBayBoy]

Where was he today?

Not his day today anyway. Seemed to struggle a bit with the pace and how open the game was. Not too many kickouts landed high into midfield for him to claim.

[CD]

Had a really poor game but was in good company! Not too many great performances from either team.
