If what happened had have occured outside a nightclub in Omagh that night the police cells would have been filled for the night. Looked like a ratio of 10:1 Tyrone to Dublin people on the two videos i've seen. Where's the punishment?

Also, I actually couldnt give a bollìx, sure Tyrone arent exactly known for their fair play and sportsmanship and I'm sure the Dubs players couldnt give a bollíx either. Actually remember at the start of the 2nd half, cameras were on Dean Rock, his marker and the Tyrone goalkeeper, the 2 lads in his ear and Rock trying to walk away. In the end you could just see him laughing at them. Not sure a bit of pushing and shoving will rattle them.

In fairness anyone who knows what the set up in Dublin is like would expect that sort of answer. I doubt a five year stint in Guantanamo would make him talk.

I think our defence is definitely vulnerable even though we still have good options up front .Really hope we do it obviously but it's the first time for a while I have grave doubts
