It would be a great day for the GAA if Tyrone managed to put out Dublin. With their soccer chanting, whistles in the crowd and ignorant fans who need directions to get to Croker they truly are a blight on the sport. Tyrone are bubbling along nicely and beat Roscommon by 11 points without getting out of second gear. Tyrone by 4

_____________


So remind me , How do you get into Hill 16 from the city centre ? Do you turn left on Henry street ? Where is it being played anyway the Aviva is it ?

I think number 15 will be bleedin' deadly for us. Number 3 will have to be on top of his game but hes the best defender in Ireland. Best player ever wouldn't you agree. I think we will play Meath in the All ireland final if we beat Tyrone and whoever is in the semi final. Is the draw on after the game next sunday ?

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If you only listen to what you want to hear I suppose you'd come out with the above analysis.

In response to your comments
I for one dont believe everything I hear. As a Dublin man all you have to do is read the media, the bulk of which are based in the capital and, continuosly jump on the Dublin bandwagon. In the past the Dublin players have bought into their over rated status. 2008 was a point in case. Once Brogan got injured Dunlin dropped their heads.

You can only sit back and reflect on something WHEN YOU HAVE ACHIEVED IT and sadly for this Dublin crop of players Leinster titles are no longer good enough.

THE GAA require and dare i say it NEED Dublin to win an ALL-Ireland title. Look at their investment into Dublin hurling and it is evident that the results are coming. But if every hurling county had similar investment then they would be DEMANDING results.

As for the Dublin footballers - the lure of soccer rugby immigration etc must be a concern as indeed it is in the rest of the Island but just because of an over rated elevated status doesnt give Dublin a right to be All-Ireland champions. They have to deliver on the field and when push comes to shove Dublin nine times out of ten inevitably fail.

Hopefully next weekens we can see a cracker just like the 125 festivities.

Right, I think you've missed my point entirely.

Dublin are not good enough to win the All-Ireland and I haven't heard anyone really tipping them to win the All-Ireland. Yet you seem to think that everyone is saying that the Dubs will win.

There are far more people tipping Tyrone to win the All-Ireland than are tipping Dublin.

Mulligan to win it again for Tyrone in front of the hill

Its a complete role reversal of last year and I expect the result to be different as well. Can't wait until Saturday, I won't be able to make the game myself but hoping it will be on TV.

I would be worried that Roscommon scored 1-14 on us and kicked 15 wides.Dublin and the Brogans especially will not be so wasteful.
Great game in prospect,atmosphere will be electric and i'm really looking forward to it.
Bernard Brogan might just be the difference between the sides.

Well according to all the Tyrone fans and the media, Dublin might as well not bother turning up and forget about Mayo and Donegal too, it's going to be a Kerry v Tyrone final.
Tyrone have put themselves under huge pressure to deliver this year.

Looking at both teams on paper, I have to hold my hands up and say Tyrone have the better team, all the pressure is on them, it's Tyrone's to lose.

If Croke Park was in Omagh I'm sure there would be big crowds of Tyrone people at ALL games and not just Tyrone games.

You better hope so because he just loves going against the Dubs.If however you are right it will matter very little as our strength is in our 'depth'.We had 9 different scorers against Roscommon,we have the men to do the job.We have a great bench to call on and with a master tactician like Mickey Harte in charge we have belief in our team and a will to win this year that cannot be surpassed by any team in the country.

Its a big game not a massive game - big attendance for sure and fair play to the dubs for that - now with good road links, kildare, meath, laois, wicklow,louth shoud all have massive support in diublin but they don't
cork is a big cit but don't follow their own - so fair play to the dubs but up tyrone

Ahhh, I see what you are up to you crafty Jack, a bit of reverse psychology going on here. Remember, Tyrone are not one of the 'big three', and we are also a mere Division 2 team according to some of your fellow county men, I believe that the weight of expectation falls heavily on your blue and navy shoulders! We are in bonus territory, no expectation here, just one game at a time and enjoying being in HQ in August, thats what its all about.
