Replying To legendzxix: "Some Tyrone supporters will be leaving Croke Park at half-time tomorrow. It's just the unfortunate nature of this event. A hurling county suffered that in the '08 final." At least Tyrone fans will be in Croke Park tomorrow. The new Super 8's format might see Kerry fans watching more all finals at home since Kerry won't be in as many finals. Just saying:) seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 01/09/2018 19:11:25 2138209 Link
Replying To DonaldDuck: "Best of luck Dublin. Nothing better than Tyrone/Mickey Harte losing....." Not the thinking of Tipperary people through the years in fairness. Who's your Premier league team? :) seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 01/09/2018 19:29:56 2138215 Link

Herbert Asquith the British prime Minister was quoted in 1914 as saying "We sat this morning for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the county of tyrone". Asquith would have gone down well in the bowels of rte, and do we care one jot...do we heck...to much of the country we are annoying and irritating mostly because we won't lie down and roll over...we don't know our place..and do we care?..not a bit! mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 01/09/2018 20:32:38 2138231 Link

Replying To Fionn: "Exactly.... Well said. The days of Kerry winning a fake All Ireland title by only playing 3 games are long gone..!" Those years are gone with about 30/40 years Chiefe, what about the titles we won in 97 00 04 06 07 09 and 14? Any problems with them?

Replying To Fionn: "Exactly.... Well said. The days of Kerry winning a fake All Ireland title by only playing 3 games are long gone..!" Kerry won the 2000 All-Ireland championship. It was the last championship before the qualifiers came in in 2001. Kerry beat Armagh after extra time in a semi-final replay. Kerry beat Galway in the final after a replay. It was a fittingly tough way to win the final traditional knockout championship. legendzxix (Kerry) - Posts: 8737 - 01/09/2018 20:51:37 2138244 Link
Replying To DonaldDuck: "Best of luck Dublin. Nothing better than Tyrone/Mickey Harte losing....." Mickey Harte is one of best gaelic football managers of his generation up there with Sean Boylan and Mick O Dwyer . Tyrone are well capable of winning this All Ireland katser (Galway) - Posts: 2550 - 01/09/2018 20:52:43 2138245 Link

Best wishes to both teams and sets of supporters today. It is the pinnacle of our sport, so please god let it be a game that echos the occasion. While I don't care who wins, a part of me would love to see the media etc go into meltdown if dubs lost (no offense) it is highly unlikely but sure it would be great craic . Good luck to all. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 02/09/2018 08:38:33 2138294 Link
Here we go. it's all ireland final match day. butterflies are absolutely crippling me. Doesn't matter how many finals you go to, these occasions always make you as excited at the 4th final in a row as it does for the first. time to park the pre match talk now on here. Hope everyone enjoys the day. That's the most important thing. we love to have a bitch and a moan day in day out in true irish fashion about the ills of the game but the fact 82'300 people can come together on a small island to watch two teams play in an amateur game is astonishing. it'll probably be the biggest sporting event attended in the world this weekend. astonishing really. To every single one of you going, wish you all a safe journey. If Tyrone win, we can't complain, we've had a great run at it. If we win, drink it in because 4 in a row won't be done again in my lifetime (I'm 26 now) and despite the narrative people on here try to spin, dublin won't be around forever, we are beatable like every great team, and at some point appearing in finals and days like these will become less common so don't take them for granted. irrespective of the result today there is no doubt we have had a blast. Would be amazing to go.out on another high and end the year as champions. these occasions are special though so I wish both teams luck and may the best team win. To the fans of both teams there today, remember, there are fans of 30 other counties who would kill to be our shoes walking into croker today. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13654 - 02/09/2018 09:11:49 2138303 Link
Rise and shine , one way or another today will be remembered for a long time , safe journey to all who are taking to the roads Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 02/09/2018 09:22:30 2138304 Link
Didn't sleep much as expected and Christ but this really is a labor of love. Delighted to be in the final again but edgy as fk. Anyway, to all those traveling , safe journey and enjoy the occasion as it's what every GAA fan dreams of and we have been blessed in recent years with the players representing Dublin. Hoping for the best and will not enjoy one bloody minute of it I'd imagine in the best possible way. COYBIB. Dubh_linn (Dublin)** - Posts: 2313 - 02/09/2018 09:48:38 2138309 Link

Good luck to both teams and sets of fans today. It's the pinnacle of Gaelic Football that few experience. Embrace it and may the best team win. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11540 - 02/09/2018 10:39:20 2138316 Link
Replying To DonaldDuck: "Best of luck Dublin. Nothing better than Tyrone/Mickey Harte losing....." You must be a bitter little person-quacking away. Best of luck to both teams and just hope it is a great occasion for everyone. Its good to see that MH has stood with his principles and not bowed to the media hacks with agendas. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 02/09/2018 10:57:00 2138319 Link
Game day. Don't see the one sided affair some are expecting. Micky Harte will have a plan and I expect Tyrone to execute said plan well. Dublin will be beaten eventually and if today is the day then so be it. I hope everyone, no matter the result, has a great day. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13794 - 02/09/2018 12:51:34 2138333 Link
Good luck to both teams, i hope the fans enjoy the game and what is always a special occasion. Hope it's a cracking game. kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 02/09/2018 13:24:22 2138336 Link
