The lady (you) doth protest too much.
Iâm not backtracking in the least.
Iâm standing steadfastly to the original point I made, because itâs correct.
You referenced it yourself there a few minutes ago. Jim Gavin teams have handed out two beatings to Tyrone.
Previous all-Ireland form counts for nothing but form in random games in the national league does count. Sidney logic.
Youâre the one who keeps going on about it.
âShipping a beatingâ means being on the wrong end of a comprehensive beating.
The best Dublin have managed is two one point wins.
Contrary to what you state, Tyrone beat Dublin at Croke Park in 2013 and have drawn their last two fixtures against Dublin there.
Tyrone are a considerably better team than they were in 2013 and 2014 and they cause Dublin serious problems then.
Thatâs you, pal.
Did brolly mutter âfuck offâ to Spillane there now .
I find it amusing how people think Dublin will beat Tyrone so easily.
Dublin have played 13 All-Ireland semi-final and final fixtures this decade.
Precisely none of them were easy victories.
I guess @GeoffreyBoycott isnât going to answer the following questions for me:
How many times have Mayo beaten Kerry under Fitzmaurice in Championship football?
How many times have Mayo beaten Dublin under Gavin in Championship football?
Iâve already asked the questions twice and heâs been very unforthcoming.
Mmmmm so your âpointâ is the mathematical fact as opposed to a sporting analysis @Sidney? Past performance is an excellent indicator. Just ask a bookies. Or Mayo fellas whose ability to bottle big games is legendary. Or a dublin player who wonât shit the pot because he has the experience of winning 4/6 all Irelands.
Yeah but the score starts at 0, mate⌠Iâm sure the bookies put that into their calculations, like.
Youâre changing the narrative now.
I donât recall anyone saying Dublin will win easy.
We are merely taking apart Nembo and yourselfâs ludicrous assertion that Tyrone are some sort of footballing juggernaut and that they have competed evenly with Dublin over the last 5 years.

Figure it out yourself. I had steered you towards my earlier post chronicling Mayoâs championship record since 2012 and gave you the additional hint that Gavin and Fitzmaurice both took over for the 2013 campaign.
You said Tyrone are a laughing stock.
Youâre changing the narrative now.
Youâre refusing to answer questions that contradict your argument.
Thatâs spineless.
Yeah but the score starts at 0, mate⌠Iâm sure the bookies put that into their calculations, like.
Do you have a point mate?
They are.
In all of Dublinâs and Tyroneâs matches over the last 5 years, the score has started at 0 in each game - Therefore, Tyrone have competed evenly with Dublin over the last 5 years.
