Yes but you’re comparing Tyrone with Dublin. They’re not playing Dublin, they’re playing Monaghan and Tyrone have had their number. It will be a tight game and a Monaghan win would not be as big a shock as you’re making out but Tyrone are better. They’re going for 3 Ulsters in a row now.

Tyrone are already a top 4 team.

Ya maybe but nowhere near Dublin or Mayo.

They should be much closer

Last year was an embarrassment and should have seen the end of Harte. I stead they have dug in even further. He is ruining a generation of very good footballers

They’re not far off Mayo. Probably ahead of them now but with it all to prove.

Galway would beat Tyrone, Kerry and Mayo would beat them most days, Monaghan will beat them tomorrow.

I think you overrate Monaghan who probably peaked a few years back. Galway haven’t won a Championship football match in Croke Park in 17 years.

This is going to be a painful year for Cicero IMO.

Whatever.

What were the scorelines last year when dublin played mayo and Tyrone?

Croke Park in August/sep all that matters for big teams.

They have no chance of the AI under Harte

It’s a bit spurious to base a judgement on a team on one singular result. Mayo are falling away at present, the team are aging and nothing new is coming through.

FREE TICKET FOR MONAGHAN V TYRONE

I’ve a spare ticket for Monaghan v Tyrone tomorrow. Game of the summer and not on TV. I’ve advertised it on my Facebook but no takers. I’ll give it for free to any non-fund of a poster who won’t cheer for Tyrone. I’ll meet you outside the stadium tomorrow. PM me if interested.

The big games are all that matter in ranking a team or assessing their ability to win out. I would certainly judge them on their one big game last year.

They failed on every level.

It’s questionable if they even have the ability but they certainly do not have the management.

Mayo come up trumps in those cases.

Absolutely they failed but you’re still basing everything on one result. In terms of where Tyrone are at, they have a much younger team than the likes of Mayo and Dublin at present do they have more potential to improve and grow.

Tyrone have it all to prove but I’m happy enough with the job Harte has done when you look at how teams like Meath, Galway, Down, Armagh, Cork have fallen in recent years. Harte has kept Tyrone at the top table throughout his tenure.

If they could drag it down to out and out trench warfare you’d have to fancy them. Battle hardened , I think would cover it. I think they have too much for Tyrone tomorrow but we’ll see.

No he has not. They have been very poor a few individual years and have never threatened an Ai since 08

Just pulled into the Applegreen at Coyne’s Cross on the way down to Wexford. I’m delighted to report that Brian Carthy and Seamus McEneaney are live from Brewster Park on Radio One and I’ll be rejoining them shortly.

Link to tonight’s blockbuster Ulster quarter-final clash:

Armagh 3 points and a man down in enniskillen

Could be the end for Geezer here.

Fermanagh 0-10 Armagh 0-4
