Mullins you might believe but you dont appear as confident this year as you did last time round. Is it a case you think Tyrone have improved or Dublin have regressed (both possibly) or is the tag of favourites weighing heavy on you. It has the makings of a good game and the craic should be good.

Lets hope come Sunday we are talking about the game for all the right reasons!!!!

Is it true Cluxton is Dublins 3rd highest scorer this year?

Oh Mullins stills believes Boc. You are just reading the wrong forum. His alter-ego is very confident.

Very curious to see what teams are announced this evening. One thing having strength on the bench, but you still need your first 15 in order.

Joint with Connolly (1-3) on 6 points apiece. BB has 14, AB has 8.

Not sure the XV announced this evening will be the starting XV

"I've looked at what this Tyrone team have to offer this saturday i see nothing to worry Dublin-Basically its the same team we beat last year with a few under 21 players throwing in to freshen things up during the summer.....Gormley /ricey will pick up the Brogans once that contest is sorted out were home and dry/pity O'Gara wasn't fit"

Mullins sums it up perfectly.

Dublin don't name their team till after the 5-30 am training session on friday..

But Tyrone had 17 wides last year and someone blew a whistle before the goal. These mitigating factors outweigh the finishing margin of five points ... Tyrone by 15 ....

You know what always amazes me We Didn't Kick Any Wides

i dont read any other forums TC hence the mix up - he is a bit more cautious on here not like the gobby Mullins we had last year

no mention this time either of who Dublin are going to 'target' - i think its very to say the Dubs are worried.

So what is the feeling now? MDMA in at midfield? Any chance David Henry will start and play as an extra defender?

TC i really haven't a clue it sounds strange to me.....Hard to know about Henry he played that role well last year ,so he could be close....

Players lounge would be a good spot for the Tyrone fans

Assuming that everyone is fit, the only players under pressure would be Ricey, Tommy McGuigan and possibly Coney

If Swift is out, then Ricey will definitely start, and Justy McMahon will come in. If Swift is fit, then Justy could still replace Ricey.

Penrose would be the most likely replacement for Tommy/Coney, although Mickey might feel that it is time to let Mugsy off the leash, having made him wait all summer.

Spot on again TC!

Although Ricey is not named amongst the subs I would say he is amongst the 26 names that are sent down to Croke. I'm not sure if Swift will start or not - We could possibly see either Carlin or Ricey filling this position.

Not long to go now lads - Excitement is building momentum, lift sorted and just got my hands on the ticket - 331 in the lower Hogan - Happy days

McMahon for Ricey
Mugsey for Coney
A self declared fully fight SON not in the panel.

Probably only thing we know from that announcement is what wont be the team
