2018 All Ireland Senior Football Championship

This is shaping up to be the most low-profile AI final in living memory. Not even a page and a half of a preview in the Sindo today, and one of those is Colm O’Rourke being pissy about Harte not talking to RTE (completely ignored the positive PR about the Tyrone press night). The other is Brolly slagging off McGuinness’ piece in the Times earlier on this week.

Yesterday’s Times had one article about it - Tyrone’s full backs in the last 15 or so years. Was like something you’d see in the match programme.

Id have liked to have seen Declan McCrossans birth cert. All jokes aside that was some group of young men.

Lovely rendition of Boyzone there.

Really enjoyed that show. If anything they could have extended it by another half an hour. The end seemed a bit rushed.

Never knew Mickey Harte played in an All-Ireland minor final.

Kevin Hughes seems a decent bloke.

8491

Some amount of tragedy surrounding that team alright.Decent show but nothing really new in it.

8492

Hughes lost a sister in a car accident a few years later as well. He was a beast of a minor.

Yeah, in fairness all that tragedy would have broken most sides.

I have a pair of tickets for Sunday.
Am I the only person here who is going to the game?

I have not been to an AI football final since the 90s.

Going but not hugely pushed about it.

Is it corporate? I wouldn’t go unless there was free liquor involved. Need something to keep you entertained

I’m going. No question that the build up in Dublin is fairly muted compared to any of the recent finals. Tickets still scarce but I have a feeling there will be plenty around at the weekend

No. You might know how I got my hands on them.

Got a good offer for a room on Saturday night so will make a weekend of it.

I’m not going to bother this year.

I’ve 4 Dubs sorted for tickets, I’d have no interest in this final whatsoever. Have free tickets to the Picnic, I’ll go in there instead.

I hear they’re going for big money this year.

8503

One or two acts of interest, Massive Attack ok Saturday night could be a stand out.

Picture This leading into The Prodigy is something else mind you.

A friend paid 500 for two (2) weekend tickets a few weeks ago.
