Dublin V Tyrone

Replying To arock:  "Dublin's full back line was utterly abysmal the only saving grace for them is in the championship there is no mark, which has distorted a lot of teams performances in the league so far. Gavin experimented and I think on what I have seen few of these "tryers" are going to wear a blue shirt in championship. Ditto for a few of the oldies on the panel. Aside from all that what the hell was the Tyrone keeper at? Reckless endangerment!"
I was actually very close to it, looked a fair shoulder to me at the time. Looks worse in the replay on TV and I have second thoughts about it. Apparently Paddy was taken to hospital. Hopefully Morgan didn't intentionally try and do him.

The news from Cookstown is terrifying. I hope none of you lads have children affected. Truly desperate news. RIP.

Replying To Llaw_Gyffes:  "I wonder if Dublins form in the League will give the teams in the chasing pack a little more cause for optimism over the coming weeks. I know the Dubs are focussing on the five in a row but the fact that they have lost three games in the League makes them seem almost human. Over the last few years they have been so good, in both League and Championship, that most teams had already lost, in their heads, before they even took to the field against them. Now some teams will be thinking "maybe they are not as good as they were and if we raise our game ten or fifteen percent and catch them on a bad day..... Maybe that's what Gavin wants teams to think and it's all part of his dastardly plan for world domination. Tyrone are starting to look good again, as you say, and it wouldn't surprise me if they went on and won the League. Galway aren't too far away either and will have a big say come Summer. I think this year could be a year too soon for Kerry but as usual they will be there or thereabouts. Dublin are still the team to beat and it will be a shock if they don't win the five in a row but maybe, just maybe, there's a Seamus Darby out there in the long grass. The rest of us live in hope."
You make some great points there Llaw like you say teams are usually beat before they hit the pitch to play the dubs and when you look at the way Tyrone and Donegal and Roscommon approached the super 8 games against them last year the plan was to keep the score down and shoot out between eachother for the second spot, and that was understandable for last year but this year maybe team will take a bit of belief from Tyrone Kerry and Monaghan's victories over them and attack them.

Mikey Sheehy said when we were going for the 5 that they had done all the same preparation but that they all just felt flat ? Maybe just a lack of hunger or whatever.

Can you imagine the team that could stop the 5 would probably end up more famous than the team that did the 4

Shocking. Really puts things in perspective. Such sad news.

Well done Tyrone, lines things up for a very interesting Championship, Gavin will have his work cut out to learn from the last few months. This league campaign will give teams confidence going into games v Dublin. As a friend from Kerry said told me yesterday, it's only the league! Not sure I believe that one, seems to be a direct link between league and championship form the last few years. As long as counties take hope and not complacency from these games, things will get interesting.

Horrible and scary news about what happened in Cookstown last night, thoughts are with the families affected and the communities in Tyrone. R.I.P.

Broken jaw apparently not a fair shoulder as he hit his chin, maybe an attempt at a fair shoulder.

Best wishes to Paddy Andrews, reminded me of Kennellys hit in 2009.
Straight red and it was nasty no other words for it.

Sincere sympathies to the Tyrone community following last night's tragedy. My 17 year old was out last night & thankfully he is back home with us tonight. Rest in peace.

Dont defend the indefensible.
If you ever played the game you know right well that morgan could have pulled out of that challenge.

You mean like Offaly.

Now I don't know Morgan's mind at that moment but I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he did not mean to hurt Paddy. On the other hand there was no doubting Kennellys intentions and he should never have played the rest of that game.

Away back to the Hill 16 Army site with that crap. You will have an audience there.

Accidental crash. It happens. Feel for Paddy Andrews, good player, but these things happen in a contact sport. Hope he gets back to full fitness for championship

You obviously played the game if your comment is to be taken seriously and you should know that only the goalkeeper knows the answer to that question and certainly neither you or I know whether it was intentional unless you are a mind reader. It was most unfortunate and I wish him a speedy recovery. Lots of footballers get nasty injuries with some intentional and some not. Most of the intentional ones can be quite obvious like the one at 'throw in' at the start of Cork v Kerry match.

Nothing to be proud of in those sort of tackles.
Reckless and cowardly stuff and a man having to have an operation for the damage.
You would hope his livelihood isn't affected.

It was reckless and dangerous from Morgan and should of been a straight red card but I don't believe he meant to break Paddy's jaw.
