Stubborn Dublin under no obligations

There were a few surreal moments during yesterday’s game but the one that stood out for me was when Tyrone fans starting booing Dublin for holding onto the ball.

It said a lot about them and so much about Dublin’s patience, which was almost sickeningly good at times.

The first thing Tyrone had to do to win was to start well. Instead, they did the opposite. They were cagey and nervous at the beginning, looking like a team that hadn’t played at this level in a while.
