Wrong!
The bitterest of defeats*, that one.
It proved that Dublinâs third team arenât the third best team in the country after all.
*For Ewan.
Considering you feel that Monaghan beating Dublin in a group stage league game is relevant, itâs surprising you omitted in that narrative to point out that Galway beat Tyrone in the league by 4 points.
Well clearly you think Monaghan are a better team than Dublin, which is why itâs so surprising that you were talking about the âweak half of the drawâ.
Monaghan are no great shakes. They could only score 0-10 in losing to Fermanagh. Tyrone couldnât have hand picked a better semi final opponent than Monaghan.
It was a much poorer championship with Mayo and Kerry bowing out early. After all those great Dublin v Mayo and Dublin v Kerry tussles of recent years, Tyrone not up to it.
Dublin and Kerry have failed to beat Dublin under Jim Gavin in Championship, like Tyrone.
Jim Gavin canât bate himself ![]()
Tyrone appear to be a very limited team and Mickey Harte is doing a very good job
Dublin have failed to beat Dublin under Jim Gavin? Go and have a lie down, youâve lost the little bit you had left.
The man needs to get out and get some fresh air.
Edit: Wrong thread.
To be fair to Mickey Harte , at very best , 3 of the current Tyrone squad might make the 2003 to 2008 teams .

Itâs hard to argue they werenât really. Finished top of the league, won their province and along with Dublin were the only side qualified from the super 8s after 2 games. Dublin beat them in the league final and All-Ireland semi, only other game they lost all year was against Monaghan where they spent the 70 minutes trying to conserve energy.
The Monaghan game was a dead rubber for Galway. Galway second best team this year after Dublin.
Heâs back!
What the fuck is that?
Thatâs a mugging off.
Jimmy sees right through McStay.
You fuckinâ tell him Jimmy!
Thereâs another one to comeâŚ
