This could be a long long night for Tyrone. Has Harte not learned from his mistakes that ultra defensive football will never work. They were obliterated by Dublin last year and were beat by Galway yesterday from it. Imagine Tyrone playing proper traditional attacking football, they have got great forwards like Sludden, McAllisky, Bradley, Donnelly, O'Neill etc. They would be such a better team if they had freedom to play. Has to be Harte's last season of management. Dublin look great as always think that Basquel looks to be a player for the future. Brian Fenton was fantastic against Kildare. I have to go for a Dublin win here. oakleafersir (Derry) - Posts: 808 - 29/01/2018 10:19:36 2071793 Link 0 |
Tyrone need to contest Dublin's kick outs like Kildare did very successfully. If Tyrone let Dublin have lots of possession Dublin have the game to hurt a defense first Tyrone side. It won't be anything like the summer and expect a closer contest. I'd take a 1 point win right now! But hopefully Gavin continues to give younger players game time. Basquel is lethal and can score for fun given the chance, he's a very accurate finisher. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20587 - 29/01/2018 10:29:28 2071803 Link 0 |
I've been hearing great things about this Basquel lad jimbo, he showed a few glimpses of it on Saturday but he was let off the hook by some poor finishing when he was caught napping late on in the 1st half. He could have been looking at being subbed at half time at that point. Fair play to the lad for having a decent second half though, showed good character. keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 29/01/2018 11:10:51 2071828 Link 1 |

I was hoping to see Paddy Small given a chance. Hopefully might see him yet. I agree on McHugh / Costello Injured? No doubting their quality jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20587 - 03/02/2018 13:08:14 2073570 Link 0 |
Dublin have saved Gaelic Football, they will not be beaten by negative tactics. Hope Tyrone abandon the nonsense and make tonight a 15v15 game, eliminating the short kickout. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1662 - 03/02/2018 15:14:39 2073606 Link 0 |
Don't know what to expect here. Has to be some new ideas brought into the mix or it could be a heavy loss again. Hope I'm wrong and the Stephen O' Neill influence will be on show. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 03/02/2018 15:41:23 2073616 Link 0 |

Not a hope of Harte abandoning his failed defensive system - it's awful to watch and must be horrendous for the players. Dubs easy i feel.

Interesting game, the new kick out rule has hindered dubs a bit. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 03/02/2018 19:42:00 2073662 Link 1 |
You can tell from the way scores are going over its not an ultra defensive game. Think it has to be the way that you don't know how your opposition team is going to play. Got to have some cards under the sleeve. cacsmckilly (Tyrone) - Posts: 1294 - 03/02/2018 19:58:02 2073665 Link 0 |

New kick out rule has and will hinder everyone Dubs included. Except any teams that didn't kick short who were just hindering themselves for years. Now everyone has just come back to them. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13692 - 03/02/2018 20:42:00 2073674 Link 1 |

So what do you say now my friend. Tyrone played excellent football while trying to unlock a 13 man defence. Wayward shooting let them down but fair play to dubs. Their double sweeper system worked very well in second half

I'm not surprised with the result. Eoin Ogara just loves netting the ball against the red hands. The goal itself was humorous. A bad kick out from Morgan straight to Dublin player who passed it to ogara standing beside the goalline, he couldn't have missed it. cacsmckilly (Tyrone) - Posts: 1294 - 04/02/2018 10:06:13 2073769 Link 1 |
