Do non dubs want to see Tyrone win? See warning post #219

Dots1982 · 29-08-2018 10:48pm #1

Can’t seem to put in a poll on iPad? Anyway I don’t, I’d rather see Dublin win. I think it’s better if this Dublin team conquers GAA so that the changes that are needed are made.

listermint · 29-08-2018 10:50pm

Don't you create these threads every year.

It's gobsmakingly tiring

The_Kew_Tour · 29-08-2018 10:59pm

Like see Tyrone win it, but I admire this Dublin team. Something about them even if those last few minutes of keeping onto the ball is not pretty.

If Dubs do win I actually like see them do the 5.

But let's just get Sunday over with first.

Dublin by 6 points for me I'm afraid. Sorry Tyrone (but I get lot wrong

)

threeball · 29-08-2018 11:03pm

Can they both lose?

TCM · 29-08-2018 11:41pm

The sooner Dublin win the 5 in a row in 2019 the better. We won't have to listen to Kerry folk, Spillane etc going on about their 4 in a row.

Gorgeousgeorge · 29-08-2018 11:45pm

Id like to see tyrone win. Just because i like mickey harte

Nidgeweasel · 30-08-2018 2:53am

No.

Optimalprimerib · 30-08-2018 3:07am

It's like asking which would you prefer broken, your arm or your leg? I think I may still cheer for Tyrone but I might just go to the cinema or on a hike to avoid the **** show that it has become.

corks finest · 30-08-2018 3:38am

Yes,oh yes

Tombo2001 · 30-08-2018 10:01am

As a neutral i feel fairly muddled about this one.

I'd rather see Dublin win (prefer their style).

However - I'd rather see Tyrone win, than see Dublin win by 15 points. An easy win for Dublin would not bode well. The saving grace from previous championships was that while it was very unbalanced until semifinal stage, that in the semi and final we had some really good close contests. If Dublin win easily, then really will any neutrals be looking forward to next years championship.

Having said that - I'd rather any other county winning than Tyrone. But if they do, fair play to them - they would be the team that finally beat the Dubs on all Ireland final day. It would put Mickey Harte right up there with Micko.

The Assistinator · 30-08-2018 10:40am

Would love to see Dublin get the rewards for been one of the best teams I have ever seen they more than deserve to win without a shadow of a doubt the best team this year and have been the last three as well.
That and I also hate Tyrone who built up a head of steam through the qualifiers the only team to ever be contesting an all Ireland final after getting beat twice.
BTW did I mention I don’t like that shower:)

rpurfield · 30-08-2018 1:10pm

Genuinely not arsed either ways if I'm being honest. As a Meath man I won't be behind Dublin, but I also find the chip on Tyrone's collective shoulder unbearable to put up with.

robbiezero · 30-08-2018 1:36pm

Not too bothered either way, but I think football needs a Tyrone win.
A comprehensive Dublin win would see already flagging interest levels dip even further next year.

F**k that. I live in Dublin, they would be insufferable forever more if they do it.
I'd love to see Kerry stop the 5 in a row next year.

the_syco · 31-08-2018 3:36am

I hope Dublin loses. If Tyrone win, it'll be on the radio for maybe a week. If Dublin win, it'll still be on the radio when I come back to Ireland in a months time!

doc_17 · 31-08-2018 7:22am

No. Dublin all the way. Despite all that’s handed to Dublin every year I think the diving and embellishing of the slightest contact that Tyrone engage in needs to be stamped out and give no encouragement.

What until the first Dublin “foul” on Sunday....Physio will be on checking for concussion.

Littlehorny · 31-08-2018 7:35am

As a Meath man can't believe I'm hoping Dublin win a match.

As already said very hard to have time for Tyrone, the diving, the constant roaring and shouting in opponents faces and Mickey Harte with his self righteous way about him, rattling the rosary beads even though he has built one of the nastiest, most cynical brand of football teams going.
The black card was invented because of Tyrone ffs, also it is funny now that lads like Sean Kavanagh are no longer involved with the team are coming out and criticizing Harte.

_Brian · 31-08-2018 7:36am

Passing interest in the result but that’s all, suppose I’d like to see an Ulster team win.

The parallels between the two teams is frightening

Stroll out of a weak province, win two games to win AI

AdrianII · 31-08-2018 8:21am

Don't think any neutrals could give two. The football has been so bad this year. No close games at all. 10+ point victories all over the place. Not even sure if I'll watch it

In saying that the dubs are fantastic. A pure machine of talent and could hit 5/6/7/8 in a row.

This more or less my own thoughts on the game.
For one match only it's "Up the Dubs".

NoviGlitzko · 31-08-2018 8:24am

Of course I do. I don't know of anyone who doesn't.

OldMrBrennan83 · 31-08-2018 8:27am

I'd probably want Dublin to win anyway but I notice a lot of people who are normally anti Dub supporting them this year as the less of two evils. Tyrone are a vile outfit.

MilfordBud · 31-08-2018 1:05pm

Tipp man signing in on the Dub's bandwagon. We have played them a few times in recent years and they are just not a nice bunch.

breffni bogballer · 31-08-2018 1:17pm

Hope Dublin annihilate them,and as for St Mickey of Omagh,not alone does he run Tyrone gaa,but he thinks he's in charge of everything nationwide

Yeah, I think for the sake of my blood pressure I would be best avoiding the rest of this thread.

That Kerry side will still be talked about regardless what Dublin do. It's 40 years ago now and likes of Spillane, Sheehy, Bomber Liston, Ogie Moran and Jack and Paudi O'Shea are names that roll off the tongue of every gaa follower to this day.

Will McCarthy, Scully, Small, Mannion, O'Sullivan etc be names people are still talking about 40-50 years from now? Maybe, maybe not.

Yeah, but the added factor is that Harte is a bit past his sell by date. Leaving aside other issues, his arrogance towards RTE and the general public is distasteful. If it were any other county again the Dubs, I'd be hoping they'd win, but Tyrone - couldn't care less.

Totally agree.
Those Kerry teams were full of characters as well as great players managed by the legendary Micko.
Bar two last minute goals conceded (Seamus Darby 82 AI final and Tadg Murphy 83 Munster final) they would have won 9 in a row.

Plus Kerry didnt get to play all of their AI semis and finals at 'home'.

LoughNeagh2017 · 31-08-2018 3:05pm

As a Co.Derry native I would go out and play for Dublin on Sunday if I had to.

I have made my feelings on Tyrone clear on GAA sites, they are "gatekeepers" of our culture, as a man who takes pride in my o'neill heritage and the red hand symbol I dislike how they claim to own it. Though I suppose I am just ranting about flags, I am sure their players are decent people.

I think it is like the NI/ROI scenario, one side of the border often claims they have the monopoly on Irish culture, the Ulster counties have a shared history but Tyrone think it is all theirs, take their name for example "Tir Eoghain" Eoghain actually was from modern day Donegal, I would say very few Tyrone GAA people know that.

I would like to see Dublin do 4-in-a-row.

2 dictator managers but I am not fond of Harte.

bruschi · 31-08-2018 4:00pm

A lot of people mentioning the "4 in a row" thing. For that reason I hope Dublin dont get the 4 in a row. Only the absolute best team in the history of the game have got the 4 in a row. Unprecedented really. 6 all ireland finals in a row, winning 4 in a row. Some great names and legendary figures on the team, long remembered and spoken about.

Just a shame to see the county in the doldrums now and being so far off the pace. They'll be a long time before the win one again, nevermind get 4 in a row. How a county with such a heritage has let itself get into the disastrous situation it is in now is awful.

But maybe, just maybe they'll be back at the top table again. It will take time, but hopefully Wexford can do it.

Difference is the football played 40 years ago was a world away from the football McCarthy Scully, Small, Mannion O sullivan play. It as evolved.

40 years ago you could smoke 20 benson in the morning and play at 3pm throw in, Or have 4 pints to ge you steady.

Incomparable. Far superior footballers now.

Tyrone are the only side I'd like the dubs to beat.

Conveniently picking some average footballers there, by Dublin standards anyway. Cluxton, Brogan, Connolly, McCaffrey, Kilkenny will all be remembered in years to come. No question. And yes...to the extent of the Kerry boys mentioned.

It's a measure of how insecure Dublin fans are in their current dominance and why that dominance exists, that they are so desperate to be seen as 'better' than that Kerry team.

Long spells of dominance are not good for any game so I think most football lovers will want to see this one broken by whosoever. Never quite understood the 'general hating' on Tyrone, when all teams will engage in negativity if pushed. I think Harte himself might be the reason.

Cluxton certainly will, as will Bernard Brogan , Connolly and McCaffrey as well.

Despite being a Dub I've always liked Tyrone and find their supporters pretty sound. Most of the "hatred" seems to be led by the Kerry media who didnt like that they kept beating them IMO. Find some of the treatment of all Ulster teams by the media here very grudging in general.
