Niall Morgan is in a bit of a run of stinking form.
I thought he was brilliant today apart from 2 or 3 mistakes. Was able to get his kickouts away which weren't happening the past few games. Kicked points too and cut out a goal chance and caught balls which were easy enough in fairness but under those wet conditions still did well
Yer hole.

Yes Tyrone/Dublin was a sloppy, even an ugly game, but because they struggled to score, I found it more interesting than all the exciting shootouts we've been watching.  The intensity from both teams was great.

I find myself cheering for the defences these days.  Of course I've always done that when watching Canadian or American football.  Maybe I'm just weird.
Nothing weird at all about that. Love a good turnover or 2/3 lads forcing a player into an overcarry

No. Could be Tyrone v Galway or Donegal v Galway as neither would be repeat pairings.

Does Donegal in the Ulster final and Tyrone in the semi final count the same for previous Armagh meetings?

Will be hard for O'Rourke to not start McElholm next day out. Instantly looked electric and way more dangerous than either Canavan or McCurry. Canavan has looked exhausted since the club final.

Why is Tyrone's support not what it was? They used to be at Armagh levels but even with a resurgence under MOR there seems to be a lack of interest from a football mad county.

The rule doesn't seem to distinguish and is unique to semi final pairings.

If and I stress if Galway and Armagh were to win tomorrow then they couldn't meet.

Strange to say we still don't know where Tyrone are after beating Dublin by 7 points in Croke Park...but despite the win that was an exasperating performance. Key men in attack in particular were way off it and some of the decision making throughout the team was really poor. Anything like that in the next game and Tyrone will have no hope.

On the flipside, beating the Dubs in Croker should bring the team on, and even more so when they'll know they were far from their best. There's much much more in that team. It was good to see Darragh more like himself as the second half progressed and McElhom and Ruairi provided a much needed lift.

Have to single out Mattie who never stopped driving the team on. What a player and what a warrior.

That was an entertaining afternoon.

If Armagh beat Kerry then I wouldn't fear anyone.

Would anyone fear anyone who is left. All at a very similar level for me.

Unquestionably Tyrone's most consistent player. No messing, no f**king around, no losing the head.

Probably  there to feed  on the carcass of the  Dublin team

I have one criticism of Mattie should be shoot more often he always carries the ball into shooting positions but rarely takes the shot on?

Unlike Harte

How did McGeary get motm. He got turned over loads of times and I don't remember him doing much of note.
