A repeat of last years All Ireland final on the 16th March!!! Thoughts?? Dubs by 5+ for me ConnollyDub (Dublin) - Posts: 2007 - 06/03/2019 11:30:32 2170584 Link
Hard to argue with that. Hope it's tighter going into the second half. OGarmaile (Tyrone) - Posts: 248 - 06/03/2019 13:11:34 2170615 Link
Looking forward to it. Should be a good game. Tyrone drew with Dublin in the last league game in Croke I think, a game they probably should have won, I think Dublin got a dubious free kick to draw it. I would certainly take a draw this time with Tyrone's position in the league. really need Colm Cavanagh back, organises the defence and there's no better sweeper in the game. Also a great option for kick outs. The last few games with the Dubs have followed a similar pattern, Dublin get ahead after a purple patch and hold Tyrone at arms length. Tyrone cant let Dublin have a 10-15 spell where they run riot because its game over. I will optimistically go for a draw. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 06/03/2019 13:34:59 2170622 Link
Must win for both, i can see a white wall in front of me. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 06/03/2019 13:38:38 2170625 Link
A win for either would go along way to seeing one or the other potentially in a league final, so hopefully a ding dong. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 06/03/2019 13:41:06 2170626 Link
It's a good test once again for the younger lads another chance to get solid game time against the current 2nd best team in the country. Looking forward to another battle v Tyrone A win here for Dublin and they'll be one game away from the final. It all depends how Tyrone setup.. do they go with their 2017 or 2018 approach Just don't think Tyrone have the forwards to get a win and if required Dublin can bring in the quality options that Tyrone lack in comparison I wonder will Cluxton get the nod.. I'd like to see himself and Rock start jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 06/03/2019 15:35:55 2170659 Link
Hoping for a good match and disappointed with start of this thread. Tyrone play no different than any other county at the moment. The blue wall will meet the red and white wall but the blue variety has more quality players. A draw would be great result for us .

Tyrone can beat the lower ranked teams but have not been able to defeat any top team in a number of years now . Dublin generally beat us, Kerry and Mayo as well. We stayed up last year in league by beating all the lesser division one sides and it's the same trend again this year. We got to all ireland too without meeting any of the top teams. So if tyrone did manage a win it would be major break from the norm. Anyone know if Kilkenny plays...class act. cacsmckilly (Tyrone) - Posts: 1294 - 06/03/2019 20:37:06 2170726 Link
Tyrone have always given a good account of themselves against Dublin in the National League at Croke Park and I would expect the same this time. Great improvement from Tyrone since the National League break and this seems to be a trend from last year. Byanthon (Tyrone) - Posts: 1780 - 07/03/2019 11:51:49 2170829 Link

Both Donegal and Monaghan were a level above both those counties in the championship last year and Tyrone beat both of them. A Another (None) - Posts: 193 - 07/03/2019 13:48:07 2170856 Link

To be fair if Tyrone had of played either Kerry or Mayo last year id say Tyrone would of beat them. Monaghan had Kerry beat until last kick of game and finished ahead of them in Super 8's. Mayo beat by Kildare. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 07/03/2019 15:23:16 2170884 Link

I think the only non-Ulster team that Tyrone have beaten in Croke Park from QFs on in the last decade is Roscommon. greatpoint (USA) - Posts: 427 - 07/03/2019 16:38:55 2170907 Link
It would be a great result at this stage if we were to get a win or a draw. I'll settle for the draw ! :) seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 08/03/2019 04:29:01 2170994 Link
Looks like Philly is back for this one. ;) TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 08/03/2019 10:09:44 2171016 Link
Replying To TheUsername: "Looks like Philly is back for this one. ;)" Happy days. I don't Philly is as good as he was. Don't get me wrong, still a good player, but seems to have lost a bit of pace. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 08/03/2019 10:21:50 2171025 Link

Id tend to agree, he hasnt repeated a year like 15 when he had a good shout for POTY, but its in him, not sure on the pace myself more sloppy and poor decisions offensively would be my criticism, though hes good for pulling one or two out of nothing and taking the game on regardless of the game of circumstances.

When the chips are down and you need a leader and a fighter then you want Philly in your corner. Well capable at doing damage up the other end of the field as well. Definitely think he has lost a bit of pace but the stamina is there, will keep going all day long. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 08/03/2019 14:18:49 2171088 Link
Replying To The_Fridge: "Bet he starts against Tyrone and gets MOTM!!!" Yeah either that or a three game suspension. :) TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 08/03/2019 21:20:30 2171156 Link
