And In fairness I would have no love for mayo but in my opinion the mayo team of last 5 years were a fair bit better then this Tyrone team . Again that’s just my opinion .

What would Dublin have to do with a Tyrone-Mayo final? Are they capable of winning finals they are not in? Wow!

Are people supposed to be mind readers? Cut the perpetual bs. You wouldn't call the winner of Dublin/Tyrone when asked. Rather sit on the fence and cover all angles. Then say " I told ye so ". Man up.

You don't need to worry about Mayo Tyrone final as by time Dublin aren't there you'll be long gone.

Did I do that before here, ever? Claim 'I told you so'?
Correct, I didn't. So who's bs'ing again???

I plumped for Dublin in the Galway game btw.

I don't know and can't call the final. You'll have to live with that.

You are not 'supposed to be mind readers'. If you could actually read the post I was commenting on might help you though. It was a comparison of the Tyrone and Mayo teams. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

You couldn't call the real game of Tyrone and Monaghan.

You can't call the real game of Dublin versus Tyrone.

Yet, you are able to be certain about a hypotethical final between Tyrone and Mayo?

Strange.

No, just telling you which one I would put money on. I have lost bets as well as won them.

What does not knowing what the outcome of a game mean other than I think it will be close. (I could also be wrong about that)

I occasionally read the pools thread and it is extraordinary how many times so called people who 'know their football' get things wrong.

I callede Monaghan Galway right, I called Dublin Galway right. I think I went for Tyrone in the Tyrone - Donegal game.
I can't in all honesty call the final.

Every time I hear somebody giving Tyrone a chance I can't help but think back to the run up to the semi final last year. All of the same things were said, the same analysis and arguments that I am hearing now, and then in the end Tyrone were nowhere near good enough to even get close to Dublin. They were made to look like a lower division side.

What is supposed to have changed this time?

As silly as saying a year makes no difference?

Even after Tyrone pushing Dublin in Omagh more than anyone else since Monaghan beat them in the league?
Even though Dublin have only won their last two finals by one point?

A lot of arrogance if not silliness in your question frankly. That is what the final is for, to see if Dublin are still the champions.

The cheek of them scoring more points than the opposition to win.

Lets try it this way if you are having difficulty getting the point that a year can make a huge difference.

2014 Donegal beat Dublin 3-14 to 17 points in a semi final.
In 2015, just a year later, Dublin won the All Ireland.
Mayo didn't make the final that year but they did the next year.

A year can and does make a difference...yeh? :rolleyes:

To be more accurate, Mayo got ridden in 2014.

The football is getting a little, no a lot, like hurling was when Kilkenny were on the drive for five.

Like Kilkenny Dublin's day will come to an end, maybe the football will open up like the hurling has. However I don't think that day will be the second of September.

It might be a salutatory warning to the arrogant among the Dub fans that Dublin were almost unbackable going into that game and were expected to 'wallop' Donegal too.
That was the year when some 'experts' suggested the only team that could beat Dublin was their own substitutes.

I've handed out some cards and delete the off topic stuff that was posted on here

It is a thread about the final - not a thread to throw dig at other countries. There will be zero tolerance on this thread for county bashing, abuse etc

I think Tyrone will use their bench to maximum effectiveness this time and win. Harte knows this was a big advantage they had in Omagh, one they definitely didn't seem to have last year.

I am predicting Tyrone to be around level or a point or two behind at half time, then go all guns blazing the second half and win this.

In what way, who will come off the bench, what will they do.

I think that Flynn had a good chance at starting but I don't any more.
I think he'll come of the bench for Dublin, he'll be an option for kickouts when the likely push from Tyrone happens
McCarthy will start in midfield
Move back to half back, MDMA will come on and O'Gara might to to give the ultimate bypass option.

Good luck anyway.

I'm thinking it will be the other way around. Tyrone will try to do a Dublin and get a 5 or 6 point lead and then use the subs to play, what Dublin do best, possession football.
That is when it might get physical and nasty.

Tyrone refusing to do any work with RTE for the coverage on the day, absolutely pathetic. I hope Dublin beat them by 20 points

Last week RTÉ Sport extended the same invitation to Tyrone GAA that it has to Dublin GAA, and all previous All Ireland finalists with regard to participation in RTÉ coverage across television, radio and digital platforms.

This included pre-match, day of match at Croke Park, and post match interviews.

Tyrone GAA have informed RTÉ Sport that the Tyrone management and players do not wish to participate in any such media activity with RTÉ and we respect that decision.

RTÉ Sport will now continue with its planning and preparation and we wish both Tyrone GAA and Dublin GAA the very best of luck in the final.

It will be interesting to see if a Tyrone player will engage with RTÉ to accept the MOM award if Tyrone win.

Queue loads of outrage that RTE coverage is one-sided and favouring Dublin.

He can hardly engage with RTE if their presenters and cameras aren't even let into the post match banquet, where the award is usually presented.

This would be the most popular Dublin win of them all I'd imagine..........

Feel sorry for Tyrone supporters here - if your team wins you want to soak up every piece of coverage that night. Won't feel the same if they don't have the opportunity to hear from players, etc.

Nah. 2011 still would beat it.

All of Ulster outside of Derry, Cavan, Fermanagh, Down, Antrim, Donegal, Armagh and Monaghan will still be up for Throne.

Hammered out the gate hopefully all going well.

If they won they will likely not give a hoot.

And besides, they're not banned from talking bti the players.

The irony in all of this dispute however is the fact that Micky Harte went to hear the Dali Lama talk about the spirit of forgiveness, and yet he won't forgive the powers that be in RTE.

Siege mentality is what this is about.

I thought it was a bit inappropriate playing the song "pretty little girl from Omagh" after he had lost his daughter tragically just before that sketch was done. Yes Mickey might be a tough nut to crack but RTE have only themselves to blame here especially after what he went through. I think he is correct to do what he is doing here on that basis.

Stationmaster

Wasn't the sketch played only 6 months or so after his daughter was killed?

After 8 years it suits Harte to keep this going.
He is already disliked by a fair proportion of his own support so a big baddie outside helps him play the victim.
RTE have apologised again and again but Mickey has no intention of letting anyone move on.
