You need to lay off the sauce my friend!


Dublin by 5 Points or more. Ill wager you a pint and a half un, if whenst we meet, that dublin will win by 5+.

That is, dublin will not win by 5 or more. I made a heap of bets on the premiership this evenin, I need to take note of my wagerin.

I'm the one in work - will be another few hours when/if I'm logged in your state!!


Done - in fact I'll raise you a fine steak dinner and the drink

[Puckoon]

Now is that an aussie steak, a mayo steak, a tyrone steak, or a texas fillet? None of that aul kangaroo steak carry on, unless i get the hide to make a new pair of boots.

No matter, you will paying, so we will go for all four, make sure there are french fried onions and some sauce au poivoire.

I like it.


Even if I lose, sure isnt herself a Dr, sure its a splash in the ocean.

was feeling confident until oisin McConville tipped tyrone to win by two points on the road to croker tonight.

That was a poor enough preview on RTE last night. Oisin tipped Tyrone alright, but I think he put in the proviso of Mulligan seeing a fair bit of action and playing well. But he clearly under-estimates the Dubs. For instance he said we've only won 3 Leinsters in a row 

Mickey Ned gave a list of reasons why Dublin might not win (the main one being that Tyrone will mark very tightly and, as was shown v Westmeath, the Dublin forwards don't score nearly as much when marked!), but then tipped Dublin to sneak it because of extra hunger (12 All Ireland winners vs 0 All Ireland winners he mistakenly said). Declan Browne also went for the Dubs and mentioned hunger, but I didnt sense any confidence in his voice.

I have the TV3 preview taped - it was on passed by bedtime - hopefully its a bit better.

And in all seriousness, whatever reasons there may be as to why Dublin can beat Tyrone, I don't for one second believe that Tyrone will lack hunger in any way playing in Croke Park before 80,000. Tyrone want to win this game every bit as much as Dublin and its bullshít and an insult to both teams to argue otherwise (in my opinion!)

I can see Tommy scoreing 5 off the the left foot 5 off the right foot and 1 with the fist.

Bit surprised to see Harte name the same team as he usually throws in a surprise to keep things fresh so perhaps he wont actually start this team.  Wouldnt be surprised if he holds Brian McGuigan in reserve.  Doohers form is also a worry for me, he was poor against Mayo but hopefuylly he will have a big performance in him tomorrow.

[Zapatista]

I'm not surprised. He has some great options in reserve. I think you could be right about McGuigan though. I think we can be a bit hard on Dooher. There are quite a few who have been in and out of form. Tommy, Mellon, Brian Mc, and Jordan have all had little stumbles but all in all have been worth their starts. When this happens you usually see others raise the bar. Dooher is one of these guys who can really raise it when the chips are down.

I see ticketmaster are selling away at tickets for the match - last night they were selling good lower cusack seats.


Why is this when all the clubs got were Upper Cusack, Upper Hogan and Davin Stand ??

[In the Onion Bag]

Can't wait for the throw in and I'm a neutral. 
I'm hoping for a super hard competitive game and this pairing has all the ingredients.  The burden of high expectancy of the skillful Dubs v the pragmatic 'know how to win when it matters' Tyrone approach.  Will the Dubs falter as in recent years?  Can Tyrone's aging but experienced squad keep pace with the intensity of the Dubs?

Add to this the colourful and noisy spectacle that the Dub fans always bring to Croker plus the recent shared history of the sides and we have a great game in prospect.

Not sure who will win.  The Dubs probably, providing they can get, and stay in top gear.  Micky however will have plans to prevent this and if they work it could swing things in Tyrone's favour.  Not easy to predict.  Roll on the game and good luck to both sides.
