Good montage, they do sport montages well in fairness.

I have a feeling the game will be rough as it gets.

Hope so. Been a while since there was a barnstorming, physical game of football

Atlantic Dawn

The state of the jerseys back then , a good size or 2 bigger than they needed.

Seems like a rowdier crowd than the last time.

It's the Tyrone folk!

God - Charlie is a bit of a dose.

The fake laugh on Grainne Seoige is annoying as phuck.

"Tyrone guards"

It's nearly like a UFC press conference, crowd mental.

Would be great to get some proper analysis rather then the absolute gibberish being talked

Same ****e every year

Say Your Number

The fan stuff is always painful to watch.

C__MC

Out of her depth

Joanne Cantwell or Jackie Hurley should be on

Does she hibernate every year until the two up for the matches

Mediocre presenter on a mediocre show.

It's always so strange.

Why is it always there? Who thinks anyone wants to see that? How does anyone think a kid with a tinfoil Sam Maguire demonstates anything other than a tiny commitment in terms of effort?

Lads this is piss poor. The wife is out, I got a few nice bottles of IPA to settle in for the night , feet up, up for the match is on... and this is ****ing garbage, highly disappointed. I'm tempted to turn over to Netflix.

Let's see how big a fan this lad is if Dublin go a decade without winning an All Ireland.

Sounds like this was written during the last ad break.

BBC NIRL not showing the match tomorrow, thought they would.

It's awful crap,not watching anymore of it.Enjoy Netflix.I'm going to listen to some live Bruce Springsteen.

Ol' Donie

I've don't know Philomena Begly well, I've only ever seen her on RTE talk shows 1,500 times or so. Why does she always look like she hates everyone and everything?

Brock Turnpike

Any Dub attending this muck savagery in person should be exiled down the country to live out their lives

Atlantic Dawn

So that's the reasoning behind the Christmas song, the womens hockey team sang it.

That is the thing to do.

Bruce is the greatest.

Yes I'd say Sky do.

Hockey on a GAA programme?

Atlantic Dawn

Back in the day pre Eminem when a bloke dying his hair blonde was a thing.

Ken Tucky

Can't wait for some decent analysis of the game tomorrow.
Actually might go to bed...it's not going to happen

jon1981

Can we report this to the broadcasters authority of Ireland for offensive material?!

To Joe Duffy... and they want to raise the tv licence fee!!

Grab a few podcasts or something. Up for the Match was never going to give you that, and it's not meant to.

More Ray Darcy, I think was the main motivation for bringing the GAA calendar forward.

"Do you need to be fitter to play hockey or gaa"

Who gives a flying ****.

Guests are getting better. Finish strong

Ryan McMenamin has got fierce flamboyant looking since he retired from inter county level.

Atlantic Dawn

I love the bust ups, a team of bouncers couldn't break them up

C__MC

In fairness the media are starting to big up tomorrows game and the potential of a shock

Have a feeling dublin will blow tyrone away

Atlantic Dawn

Tyrone are 11/2, has there ever been such a gap between 2 teams in the final?

I was at a club hurling match Nenagh Eire Og v Toomevara one Sunday when a serious bust up started. The ref lit a fag and let them at it.

Ol' Donie

I love Jim Gavin and Dublin players doing interviews. They're the funniest thing ever. You can often see them smirking as they trot out the "It was a very tough game. Credit to the other team, they really made us give everything we had. Just delighted with the result, looking forward to the next day, it'll be a tough game, they'll really make us give everything we have...etc...etc..."
