Final would of been on this weekend if it wasn't for himself coming over, its too bleeding early.

It cost Galway an AI with all the intense games, they had to play in that short time.
Lucky for Dublin they have the large panel to pace themselves and hardly have to break sweat most games.

I think this game well be Dublin's anywhere from 5-10 points depending if they want to give Tyrone the ball back when they are ahead!

I was listening to Kieran Donaghy on Colm Parkinsons Podcast. He said that Dublin have a major Basketball influence now with Jayo etc.
He also said that the way Dublin play remind him the way basketball was before they introduced a shot clock.

I was thinking could the answer to fixing Gaelic football be as simple as that?
A shot clock after 1.30 minutes of possession in the oppositions 45 or something like that?

What worries me is that this Micky Harte fella prays a lot.
He probably has the Pope's number. If all that God craic is true, it could give Tyrone the edge on September 2nd.

They could then go on a crusade and stop the Dubs control of the 'Holy land' (Croke Park) and the 'Holy Grail' (The Sam)? :eek:

Yeah well, good luck to him. We're getting the Pope to say Mass on Hill 16 the week before an All Ireland final.

Beat that bitches !

I heard Latvians and Klingons like a good, greasy spice bag. Might explain the big frown on Lt Worf so....

God. This really is the quietest AI final build up in years, isn't it? Is it the earlier time of year, the lack of history with Tyrone (compared to Mayo or Kerry,) all the hurling hoopla, all the attention being on Mickey, the Popes visit...what?

I deliberately didn't mention the sense of the result being a foregone conclusion, leading to a lack of general interest. I just couldn't be arsed reading the ensuing outrage. :rolleyes:

Like everything wrong with this summer it's the calendar.

There's feck all on in September and as a result it can dominate the country. This situation is ridiculous. Hopefully the calendar gets fixed sooner rather than later. Can Congress change it regardless of the 3 year intention?

The girls semi-final is on TG4 at 4:30. Like the men,there playing Galway.COYGIB.

No the period written in is apparently the 3 years. They will need to amend it.

The women are in control at half time, 3-5 to 0-3, pretty impressive.

Something something financial doping, something something something Dark Side.

Bonniedog

I love watching them. Switched over at half time in Tyrone Monaghan game to see their quarter final and it was like getting out of a swamp.

Should be some final between them and Cork.

I watched a bit of the pope earlier on rte. Impressed he showed some interest in the gaa. I see he called a Tyrone win in the final after been impressed by them in final super 8 game v Donegal

In fairness he only saw the one game all season. Also he loves a good miracle.

Did anyone read the Jim McGuinness' article on Dublin the other day... ?
The word deluded comes to mind. I can only assume he's on medication, because he seems to have completely forgotten how he had his teams 'playing' football.

Anyway, its worth a read to brighten up your Monday morning, its comical.

Is this Jims 245th definitive guide on "How to beat the Dubs?"

Here is the article:

Dublin have an extremist game plan apparently:

I just read a another well known GAA mouth's reaction to it.

https://www.independent.ie/sport/columnists/joe-brolly/joe-brolly-jim-mcguinness-advocates-a-defensive-strategy-that-would-bore-us-to-death-37252109.html

Brolly has seemed to have gone full circle about McGuinness from lauding him to laughing at him.
Rightly so I suppose, but they are in competing papers now.

Thought Jimmy be off managing Celtic, Galway Utd or Finn Harps by now :D

This genius will be up bright & early on Monday morning. for 7am start time. Am off a 3 though, so loads of time for a celebratory perambulation around our glorious capital & a general soaking up the atmosphere, before heading down to Smithfield for the annual Marty Party with Sam.

He probably could not decide which to take as was (no doubt) inundated with offers.

It is a much easier gig re-hashing the same article about the Dubs every second week.
It only takes a few tweaks, you put every word in blanket format on a page.
Once the words know the system, you can just change the names and the date.
It is important to go on the defensive and be slightly bitter with your articles, to goad your opponents into attack.

Lovely work if you can get it I suppose.
He can buy himself a new curling tong each week.

Bonniedog

McGuinness seems to be suggesting that best way to beat Dublin is to refuse to take the ball past your own 45!

Mother of Jaysus! Mind you that is what Donegal did in 2011, but Dublin are no longer so naïve as to walk into that trap.

I would imagine that Harte's plan will be less tactical and more an attempt to throw a few curveballs and hope for sendings off and so o.

Anyone else hoping Mick Fitz will be starting. I think he gives us another element to the game.

I'll shag off to Portugal on the Tuesday for a few days to continue the celebrations, the Monday after the All Ireland is up there with Stephen's day for me.

He is the Gay O'Driscoll of this team. Ruthlessly efficient and gets very little of the limelight. Hard to believe he has been mainstay of the defence since 2011.
This game be perfect for him.
