Received a text from a Tyrone pal of mine this morning, urging me to put whatever cash I had at hand on his beloved county to stuff the pundits and bookies and end Dublin’s march to this year’s All-Ireland. Alas, with floods, family duties and Olympic Boxing to occupy my mind, I never quite made it to the Bookmakers. It’s a pity. Tyrone, against the odds and predictions of most, walloped Dublin in the All-Ireland quarter final today, putting in the best performance by an Ulster side at HQ since their 2005 triumph against Kerry. Next stop, twice Ulster conquerors and Cinderella side of the decade, Wexford.
We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!
For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.
Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported. Help us keep Slugger independent by becoming a friend of Slugger. While we run a tight ship and no one gets paid to write, we need money to help us cover our costs.
If you like what we do, we are asking you to consider giving a monthly donation of any amount, or you can give a one-off donation. Any amount is appreciated.
