Replying To Lifford Gael: "Tyrone supporter reverts to type when things don't go their way. No surprise there." Just describing accurately what is happening. Fouling, wasting time, 15 men behind the ball. I have criticised my own county for it for years but at least we are trying to play football lately. Donegal on the other hand have reverted to type.

Filthy from McCann considering he hit the deck when someone tickled his hair. lilylanger (Kildare) - Posts: 758 - 08/06/2019 18:23:08 2191775 Link
Fair play donegal far better lteam. Harte was a black card no doubt. Thought donegal got soft frees but wouldn't have matter, only looked like 1 winner from first 10 minutes. Not sure if donegal were fantastic or if Tyrone were very very poor. Time will tell I suppose. Congrats donegal kevin03 (Tyrone) - Posts: 276 - 08/06/2019 18:35:48 2191781 Link
Replying To FarneyLenny: "If there's one team I dislike after Cavan then it's Tyrone but I think Tyrone will prove today why they are gonna go on to lift Sam. In my opinion they are a serious outfit and I don't think this game will be even close. Think they will run Donegal ragged and I hope I'm wrong." oh dear..

I'd say most players out there spent more time on the ground than on the ball!!!! arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4895 - 08/06/2019 18:42:54 2191786 Link
McCann's actions were shocking, disgraceful behaviour . sean og (Armagh) - Posts: 1053 - 08/06/2019 18:42:59 2191787 Link

I have criticised my own county for it for years but at least we are trying to play football lately. Donegal on the other hand have reverted to type." You are on something. We took way better scores than Tyrone today. Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1319 - 08/06/2019 18:43:19 2191788 Link

Super stuff from Donegal, Congratulations. I've no doubt Tyrone will regroup and make the QF's but that was poor today they've a lot of work to do. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2105 - 08/06/2019 18:47:26 2191791 Link
Good luck in the qualifiers Wally. Tiernan McCann exemplified everything I spoke about earlier. A long suspension if right is right. Lifford Gael (Donegal) - Posts: 1925 - 08/06/2019 18:51:11 2191792 Link
Good win for Donegal, far better side, better score takers and energy. Tyrone looked like they had no confidence once Harte departed, but that's not a good sign as all top teams have to be able to soldier on even harder once they lose one of their top men. Into the minefield they go. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8586 - 08/06/2019 18:51:46 2191793 Link
Donegal look a serious team, hot hot favourites for Ulster, I think they can improve as well, perhaps Dublin"s biggest challengers sean og (Armagh) - Posts: 1053 - 08/06/2019 18:57:33 2191798 Link
Donegal were the better team by a distance. Better players, better organised, better game plan. Tyrone just huffed and puffed but didn't blow too many houses down. Tyrone look bereft of ideas and leadership. They haven't got the scoring power anymore. Tyrone need fresh thinking. Ulsterman (Antrim) - Posts: 9697 - 08/06/2019 18:59:36 2191800 Link
Replying To Wally: "Donegal playing total puke football at the min. Hopefully football will win out." Typical response from a Tyrone poster. This result didn't surprise me and the style of Donegal football was a joy to watch. The kick outs, fielding, forward rotation/movement, point taking and the disciplined (honest) defending was great to watch. Every newspaper you open or radio/TV station you turn on a Tyrone cheerleader is there due to the amount of Tyrone greats in the media. They are a solid Div 1 team and whilst lucky with the All Ireland draw last season in essence they're an average team who don't have the forwards to compete for an All Ireland. I've my doubts if any of the Tyrone forwards would get onto the Donegal starting forward line never mind Dublin, Mayo's or Kerry's. Unlike Ballybofey last season Donegal had their big players back and are doing great work up there. I tipped them to win the Ulster Championship and I've always felt they're the only Ulster team with any chance of realistically competing later in the year. People critcise Tyrone's style before this year but as today showed MH has did a remarkable job in ensuring they compete. Long way back for Tyrone, they just don't seem to be producing the classy players like the Donegal's are. Well done Donegal they'll be delighted to show they were always well ahead of Tyrone. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 08/06/2019 19:11:48 2191808 Link
Deserved win for Donegal. Best tactics, gk, defence, midfield and forwards. Even looking at the final score I'm sure Tyrone cant really argue with who was better throughout. Donegal should win Ulster and be in the mix late summer. Tyrone need to find another gear fast! SaffronDon (Antrim) - Posts: 2385 - 08/06/2019 19:16:39 2191810 Link
Tyrone were woeful, made an average Donegal outfit look half decent. Tyrone will be there in sept, just a blip. They were bad today , thats out of system now cacsmckilly (Tyrone) - Posts: 1294 - 08/06/2019 19:18:04 2191811 Link
Great win well done Donegal, best day yet for Murphy I thought, he was brilliant. Tryrone find it so hard to adapt when they go behind. giveitlong (Galway) - Posts: 1217 - 08/06/2019 19:22:07 2191813 Link

Never doubted today's result. Was just that it was way easier than expected. Still though it will stand us in good stead for stiffer challenges ahead. Personally couldn't understand the hype about Tyrone. A very average team that shouldn't have been within an asses roar of an All Ireland Final last year. Talk about delusions of grandeur. The thing about delusions of grandeur is that you come crashing back down you to earth all of a sudden. An 8th Ulster Final for us now in 9 seasons. A long way back for Tyrone after today. A team bereft of ideas and talent. Men against boys if the truth be told. A sweet sweet victory all the same. Lifford Gael (Donegal) - Posts: 1925 - 08/06/2019 19:28:02 2191820 Link
The most impressive part of that performance for me was lads that you knew had the talent really stepping up today. Ciaran Thompson for example fielded some brilliant ball. McMenamin did a great job inside against Donnelly. Jamie Brennan had little to prove in my eyes but he showed it again today. Langan very good and can improve further. Patton, what can you say, brilliant performance. And all complimented by the stalwarts, Eoghan Bán, Murphy, McGrath, McHugh all exceptional and McBrearty grew into it. Hard not to get over excited by this team. Commiserations to Tyrone, it seemed to get away from them once the goal chances didn't go for them first half. I was surprised by the loss of shape from Tyrone, seems in moving towards their new style of play they've forgotten what they were so good at in years previous. They'll bounce back no doubt and will see them in the Super 8s. JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 08/06/2019 19:35:38 2191823 Link
