Replying To The_Fridge: "Correct me if I'm wrong but I remember a certain few Dubs questioning Tyrone 05 and 08 all Ireland's due to the fact they were beat once. (Jim I think, apologies if I'm incorrect). If the Dubs get beat does that mean their all Ireland is diluted? Unbeaten championship run broke." Focus. All that matters is the Five. All else is dross. steve097 (Dublin) - Posts: 109 - 25/07/2019 10:07:54 2216153 Link
Gavin won't rest too many for this one I predict. He may start two or max three from the bench but that'll be the height of it and I'm sure the Dublin lads including Paddy Andrews will want some retribution (on the scoreboard) for what happened earlier in the year. Dublin by 5 for me. TrueBlue35 (Dublin) - Posts: 206 - 25/07/2019 10:23:06 2216157 Link
Replying To DUBJOHN: "You're not doing too badly up there, getting money from us free staters and a few pounds fron Aunt Lizzy as well!" What money do we get from you free starters? Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 912 - 25/07/2019 11:28:44 2216194 Link
Tyrone could get a hiding here BeJasus (UK) - Posts: 383 - 25/07/2019 22:13:03 2216556 Link
Its both interesting and tricky for the managers. Its funny. The narrative fits whatever way people want. When Donegal were really poor v Meath for 55 minutes the talk was we were undercooked with no game for 3 weeks. Yet Kerry were 'fresh' versus a tired Mayo. So if Gavin rests 8 or 9 and they've no battle of that intensity v mayo or donegal a week its risky. I really dont think Gavin will want a defeat a week out from a semis. If gavin plays a good hand Dublin could hammer a weakened Tyrone. I dont think that's good for Tyrone irrespective of who's playing. Gavin would hardly go full throttle would he?

I'd certainly not question those Tyrone AIs. They were hard fought for but you're probably mistaking a back door opportunity for a dead rubber S8s game where the Dubs are already in the semi before the game is played. The comparison is probably a bit apples and oranges. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 26/07/2019 00:09:55 2216597 Link
Replying To Wally: "What money do we get from you free starters?" Sure aren't we buying all that delicious Strathroy bainne of ye. I hope Jim rests 6 or 7 lads and we have a narrow defeat because I'd like to play Kerry in the semi-final with the team pissed off after losing. Looking forward to the trip, Omagh always buzzing on match days. CaogaCuig (Dublin) - Posts: 63 - 26/07/2019 01:10:45 2216605 Link
Tyrone to win. Debts to be paid. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 26/07/2019 06:19:08 2216612 Link

Resting players in a wholesale manner could come back to bite so continuity and momentum are more important. Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1321 - 26/07/2019 08:44:52 2216626 Link

It'$ already diluted, i$n't it? cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 26/07/2019 09:14:30 2216633 Link
Replying To cavanman47: "It'$ already diluted, i$n't it?" Sorry. NO it won't be 'diluted'. If we win the five in a row we will go down as the greatest team of all time. It's simple. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 26/07/2019 09:38:09 2216647 Link

Replying To Donegal_abroad: "This is the most likely way Gavin will manage the rotation situation in my view also. Resting players in a wholesale manner could come back to bite so continuity and momentum are more important." I'd say he'll start with his strongest 15. It's not Gavin's style to treat Championship matches as an opportunity to experiment. This Dublin team needs a good close match to get them battle hardened for subsequent games. I doubt we'll see Connolly or Brogan. If the Dubs establish a good lead then key players like O'Callaghan, Fenton, McCaffrey will be withdrawn. Perhaps Rory OC will come on later in the game. I also think this will be a very close game. Dubs by 2 or 3 I'd say. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 26/07/2019 10:06:13 2216665 Link

Harte will make fewer changes as he doesn't have the same depth, but there's no way on earth he'll be going all out to win a meaningless game just 6 days before an AI semi-final. I'd expect Tyrone make 5-6 changes and rest some key players. Both managers know that they have only 2 important games left at the end of a long season. This isn't one of them.

They were two good competitive games.I felt they played within themselves in our two Super 8 games this year. In fairness, Roscommon last year didn't represent the same kind of threat as Tyrone do every year. The Dubs could well be undercooked going into the semi finals unless they get a good competitive game. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 26/07/2019 10:34:58 2216681 Link
Ive a funny feeling the Dubs are going to be up for this and no mistake after the league game this year. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 26/07/2019 11:24:34 2216700 Link
Replying To avonali: "Sorry. NO it won't be 'diluted'. If we win the five in a row we will go down as the greatest team of all time. It's simple." I wouldn't bet on that. They will officially go down as the greatest but questions regarding funding will always remain. Not sure why people are talking about 5 in a row anyway. With limited competition, constant home games and more funding than most teams put together there is no reason why they cant do 7 or more in a row. kevin03 (Tyrone) - Posts: 276 - 26/07/2019 12:49:18 2216737 Link

I hope for your sake Mickey Harte doesn't share that defeatist mentality. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 26/07/2019 13:23:36 2216756 Link
