All the new Tyrone players have played with at least some of the All-Ireland winning team and they’re playing under a triple All-Ireland winning manager. That knowhow and tradition should rub off on them. There’s still a smattering of All-Ireland-winning experience on the pitch with the Cavanaghs and the McMahons on the panel and plenty of underage All-Ireland winning experience too. Plus Tyrone are used to regularly competing well with Dublin over the last couple of years and have reached an All-Ireland semi-final.

Can’t see Monaghan starting like that. No McGuinness, McCarron or Paudie and Daniel McKenna on the bench for Monaghan. I presume the former two are injured but not sure what the story is with the McKennas, are they still on the panel @Chucks_Nwoko?
I’m going to tip Monaghan for this, I think they really rub Donegal up the wrong way. I would expect Wylie and Lennon or Clerkin to come into the team before throw in.
Nah. I think donegal have had their shit game and will roll monaghan handy enough. We’ll see.
I hope you have the good grace to admit how badly you’ve got it wrong and how far Tipp are away from a team like Tyrone.
Off to the match now, chaps. Hoping for a Monaghan win.
Massive tailback in Monaghan town, pal. Go via Ballybay if coming from the South. I’ll hold off on seeing what late team changes are made, if any, before finalising any bets but I think Donegal will probably be too strong. A 3 or 4 point Donegal victory is my tentative prediction.

Lovely day in Clones, the pitch looks in great nick.
Fine score by McBrierty
Monaghan turning it over very softly a few times.
That’s a tremendous score from the marauding wing back.
Pure shit by Malone there
Think he needed to hit that without gathering it up first - took all his time away.

Yeah should have tried to side foot it on the half volley, it sat up nicely and he had time. Crouching down to pick it up allowed Durcan narrow the angle.
Monaghan have settled well
Great hassling defence from Monaghan.

Enjoyable game so far, Monghan have Bern quite patient and measured in possssion
Is that a vest the linesman is wearing under his top?
Nothing in that at all.
McManus was trying to give a late shoulder and ended up coming off worse. Murphy knew nothing about it
