Hope Tyrone give Dublin a very good rattle!

This thread is stupid. Tyrone may not even meet Dublin until the final, to presume we will even get there so easily is crazy. Mayo/Donegal could just as easy be the ones giving Dublin a rattle or even Galway (bit more unlikely but they are playing well).

We just about bet Donegal who were winning most of the game . The fact that Donegal are now 28/1 and we are in and around 4/1 to win the AI is madness. There's a kick of a ball between us and Donegal now everyone is on the Tyrone V Dublin bandwagon. Donegal are just as likely to pull out a shocker if they get near them..and Mayo are a team who are known to play better football when they are underdogs ...

Main point I want to highlight is that Donegal are basically on par with us bar a bit of belief and luck in them last 6 minutes, do you think anyone would be impressed if Dublin were trailing Donegal the whole game then in the last few minutes scrapped by? No

Replying To Llaw_Gyffes:  "Aw come on lads and let the Monaghan lad shout for whoever he wants. If that's the thing up north then good luck to them. Personally I can't see myself shouting for Ross or Galway down the line as either of them winning Sam wouldn't do anything for my blood pressure. If this keeps up you'll have Ulsterman jumping in with his size twelves and then it will all kick off. It's a beautiful sunny day so think happy thoughts!!!"
Grrrrrrrrr!

No, I wear my ulster jersey? I support any ulster team after my team goes out as do most counties in Ulster.

The very very very quiet Down folk on the other hand seem to have a chip on their shoulder and it doesn't take a genius to work out why!

Do Ulster proud and bring Sam back to the provence. You are our best chance and this time bring Sam through Monaghan town, not the alternative routes.

Cant see Tyrone living with Dublin or an ever improving Mayo team..
They are just too physical, and unlike Donegal, Mayo and Dublin wont run out of legs.

I know we have a big ask now , I think we will beat Cork and if we get to meet Dublin I would not put it passed us to beat Dublin. So to me Cork is the big one , beat them and we have nothing to loose against Dublin.
I went by the same lines last week , beat Tyrone and we miss the big boys. I watched Mayo Sat night and even though they won easily Kildare presented them with the goals. Plus Kildare had goal chances but failed to take them. And K McLaughlin as a sweeper -- I don't think so
I would worry for Mayo if they were to have to play a game similar to Sunday's Ulster final. Indeed Dublin would struggle against a defensive set up like we saw from Donegal / Tyrone on Sunday.
Don't forget J McCarthy is going to be missed and what I saw Sunday Dublin's full back line is suspect.

Mayo must be delighted that Tyrone have been singled out as the Dubs biggest threat. They are now firmly in the long grass... Dublin wouldn't want them in the QF...

Stay on the boat and keep paddling.. If you were at the other few games Tyrone played in the championship you would appreciate their plan a football. A thing of beauty. They had to play Donegal on Sunday and had to seriously change their game to play them never mind beat them. Donegal had a desperate game plan for Sunday and Tyrone had to mirror it to beat them. Wait to they get to the big open spaces of Croke Park then you will see how they can play lovely flowing football.

Mayo had no legs in the first half against Fermanagh and we all know how yez eventually won and it wasn't playing football.

If both Dublin and Tyrone make it to the final, and it's quite a big if the way things stand, they will give us one hell of a game, of that I have no doubt!

Are you one of those mayo fans that just turns up for croke park games lol! What have you been watching, have seen nothing from mayo yet to put them anywhere near dublins level.

Tyrone certainly haven't proved anything and we seem to have the toughest quarter from all the provincial winners. However, I would not fear mayo whatsoever at present. They may be improving and some new things are starting to click but they will need more than that when they face a well drilled side like tyrone.

Mayo turning back to the likes of andy moran is a bad sign to. Tyrone will test some of these lads legs. Kevin mc laughlin will get dragged ragged all over the place

It's very simple- the majority of Down people simply do not want to see other northern counties win the all Ireland.

Firstly I'm a down man then a ulster man, i for one would love to see my own county win ulster and all irelands more often but being honest the way our county is run thats not going to happen for many a year.
If down can't win the all ireland then i am hoping a ulster team does [ yes all of them ] and I'm getting sick and tired of my fellow down people trying to put the boot into tyrone i find this insulting, ulster football is different to the rest because of the history in the north we stick together i know some down south don't get this and wouldn't cheer on there neighbours but we do and take great pride when it comes back up north.
To my fellow down supporters please give this shite talk about tyrone a rest your giving us a bad name on here.

Couldn't agree more with this post. Tyrone were better in the last 10 minutes which pushed them over the line and they did deserve it. Dublin have played nobody and now with McCarthy gone I wouldn't be surprised if Donegal/ Cork put it up to them.
