From listening to this on the radio it sounded like a cracker. So come on, anyone who was there care to give us the run down?
I'm especially interested in hearing if the fireworks and light-show were worth 500,000 Euros

I watched the second half on my laptop, RMD - found a link at half time to it. Sean Cavanagh, Stephen O'Neill and Bernard Brogan were excellent. Was a cracker of a game for this time of year I thought.

Yeah, the consensus seems to be that it was a cracker all right. SON is back with a bang.
I wouldn't get streaming anywhere so ended up listening to Micheal on Radio 1.
Mugsy had his (now almost expected) stare-down with the hill I hear.

Ye he Did! It was a beautiful pass by O'Neill to him for the goal. Dubs goal was nice too and Conal Keaney was unlucky not to get one of his own after a great run from midfield.

Tyrone late show denies Dublin in Croker cracker
TYRONE 1-18
DUBLIN 1-16
Sunday February 01 2009
THE FIRST real chapter of the 2009 Gaelic football season was opened last night and if the rest of the tome is as good as this we are in for some year.
For a while it looked as if we were reading the same old script, Tyrone were just too good for Dublin but by the end of this pulsating clash, a hair wouldn’t have split the teams.
It took three late scores from Sean Cavanagh (2) and the impeccable Stephen O’Neill to seal the points for the Ulster men.
Considering they bossed the entire first half it was a marvellous comeback from Pat Gilroy’s men. Unlike their 12-point thrashing last summer, the boys in blue put the All-Ireland champions right to the pin of their collar last night and had them seriously rattled to the end.
Little wonder the crowd rose in appreciation to cheer both sides of the field after a thrilling climax which saw end to end football with O’Neill starring for Tyrone and Bernard Brogan coming into his own for the Dubs.
Overall, it was a night of great celebration for the GAA and to mark the occasion both teams ran out onto the field in 1884-style playing gear.
The game was a fitting tribute to the occasion; flowing football, only one yellow card, very few wides and some tremendous scores.
Dublin will have been hearted by a resolute and highly impressive second half revival which will give them plenty to work on, while Tyrone will just be glad that O’Neill is back.
He hit 0-8 last night in a man of the match display and it was worth the entrance fee alone to see him back in action. It was no surprise that Mickey Harte fielded an experienced team for this game and included nine players who started September’s All-Ireland final.
Meanwhile, Alan Hubbard started at corner back for the Dubs with junior captain Denis Bastic at full back. Right from the start, Harte’s men looked to be in a different class, they moved the ball around the field at will, had support runners darting hungrily all over the field and in attack they employed the tactic of sending Stephen O’Neill and Sean Cavanagh into the centre forward spot with both spinning away just before the ball was played into them.
In the first half they nabbed three points with that move alone. But the half was all about O’Neill; he may have been embarrassed to have climbed the steps of the Hogan Stand last season but this year he will have no such emotions.
Of the six points he nabbed in an incredible first half display his effort in the 30th minute was possibly the greatest individual point ever scored in Croke Park.
And that’s some boast. Positioned almost at the tunnel entrance in the Davin Stand he led Paddy Andrews out to the end line and with one swivel sent the ball straight over the bar from an impossible angle. Half the 79,451 crowd gasped while the other laughed in disbelief.
Some score. Some player. It’s great to have him back. While Andrews and his defensive colleagues were finding it difficult to keep an eye on him, Cavanagh was also growing into the game with his surging runs starting to pay off.
Bar Jason Sherlock and Bernard Brogan the rest of the Dublin team had more or less retreated into their own half. Trailing by four points Gilroy moved quickly and brought Ross McConnell off instead of Shane Ryan; McConnell was none too happy about it and the move did little to stem the eager Tyrone men.
They added five points in quick succession and the game looked like it could be done and dusted before half time. But Dublin held their cool, played on the counter attack and points from Henry, Bernard Brogan and Sherlock meant there was just four in it at the interval.
It could easily have been nine or 10. However, Pat Gilroy’s first half-time team talk of consequence worked. Within six minutes of the restart the sides were level.
Ger Brennan and Sherlock both slipped away for points before Justin McMahon slipped and allowed Bernard brogan to goal. What a comeback.
The result hung in the balance from there until the end of the game but in the end Tyrone’s experience and composure saw them through. Better days ahead for Dublin, though. No doubt about that.

Yeah Stevie was back with a bang. Did he mean that point though 
While it was a great score, I though he was dropping the ball across rather than going for a point. Could be wroong though and either was it doesn't take from a brilliant performance by him.
