Of course they'll come up with a plan and why wouldn't they Even if they win tonight, For me they wouldn't get near Dublin or Kerry, or even Mayo in a championship knock out game. Just my opinion. They are good, no doubt, but they aren't all Ireland winning material in my view. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 11/02/2017 11:43:30 1954669 Link 2 |
Are you serious ? Tyrone better than Mayo ? Basing that on what exactly ? The last time they met in the championship which was only last august, Mayo where crap and still won. Now you place them above Mayo, don't get the logic behind that I really don't. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 11/02/2017 11:45:14 1954670 Link 3 |
Of course you can win. We are back training 3 weeks, If you win my own personal opinion wont change, Unless, like Mayo, you get a few scoring forwards and a more consistent free taker for starters, you will not be winning an all Ireland. Don't see what people are taking unbrage with what I'm saying. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 11/02/2017 11:49:25 1954672 Link 1 |
Last year I predicted Tyrone to win the A I in 2017. As it turned out they should have won it in 2016. If they had not been so unlucky against Mayo (especially missing Sean C at the end) they would have beaten Dublin in that first drawn game against Mayo. The team that can take on that Dublin defence will win and Tyrone look the most prepared for that - to confirm my original prediction for 2017...... michael (Cork) - Posts: 381 - 11/02/2017 12:59:28 1954696 Link 0 |
Except they did get close to Kerry and Mayo. We'd probably have beaten Kerry in the 2015 AI semi had we converted any of the 5-6 goal chances that came our way, and we kicked ourselves out of the game last year after dominating Mayo. Not quite at Dublin's level just yet, but we've bags of pace and good footballers, and are capable of troubling anyone on hard ground.

Agree with most of that. Although I don't see Mayo stepping aside even if they have a crap league. It will be Kerry amaking way for us I think until their minors progress a few years. I do have huge hopes for this summer.Can we beat Dublin, no idea time till tell. Kick off shortly with the Dubs. Be nice to set a mark early

Tyrone obviously spend 100% of their training sessions on defence, and zero on shooting/kicking. Dermoot (Tyrone) - Posts: 46 - 11/02/2017 19:28:52 1954833 Link 0 |
Only saw the last 20 mins here. Colm cavanagh should have got black. Sludden should have got a free and Dublin player black carded for the foul. Free out on the wing should surely have been on the 22 because it last where the ball landed. Should have been a free out for point 9 for Dublin gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 11/02/2017 20:27:50 1954851 Link 0 |
What I'm hearing Dubs lucky to have McQuillan ref the match - some crazy decisions from what I'm hearing from some of my red hand friends who were there - but i suppose it's difficult to judge when you're actually there. McQuillan doesn't seem to like Tyrone?

a draw a fair result. But bad conditions, wind and rain does'nt help. Ref was ok not great. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2520 - 11/02/2017 20:58:13 1954860 Link 0 |
Some of you so called Tyrone supporters are never happy. That was a a great team performance under terrible conditions with a key man missing in Mattie D and with losing Mc Cann early and having to play with a man less for a period of time I am disappointed that we didn't get the win but delighted with the effort shown and Sludden scored 3 from play and got MOM incase you might want to say something positive about our attacking. Well done the lads. To hold the champions to a draw in croke park in early February is a great days work.

Leaving Dublin out of it... Tyrone showing no sign of addressing their weaknesses BIG SACKS (Tyrone) - Posts: 1681 - 11/02/2017 21:16:18 1954876 Link 0 |
Tyrone left it behind tthem tonight. They have the measure of the Dubs but they'd need to start practicing their shooting. Rubbish at shooting. Can't understand how Mark Bradley got sent off or how Tiernan mc cann got a black card. There were others who deserved but I question these particular ones well the colour of them. It should be a great summer after that tonight as Tyrone know now that it's doable. border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 894 - 11/02/2017 21:18:25 1954878 Link 0 |
As I have said before Tyrone are a formidable team and a great challenge to overcome. Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 3733 - 11/02/2017 21:27:39 1954882 Link 0 |

Dublin well off the pace tonight..tyrone will be dissapointed they didnt end our unbeaten run..tyrone a tough team to break down but their shooting in front of goals was shocking and it cost them the game. GGdub (Dublin) - Posts: 260 - 12/02/2017 07:21:31 1954992 Link 0 |
I am only stating the obvious, the defensive system has been worked on and in place for the past 3 years, like i said it is awesome. Where Tyrone have failed over the past 2 years and again last night was their general forward play, shooting, free kicking. They were beat by Kerry in 2015 because of simple missed chances, were beaten by Mayo last because of simple missed chances and ditto last night. And I don't know you but I would guess you were as angry/frustrated as most Tyrone supporters against Mayo last year when they left it behind them again, all because focus is purely on defence.
