MATCH PREVIEW
To Con O'Callaghan, Dublin fans will turn their lonely eyes. Listed in the squad the captain will be expected to lead on the field from the outset. Just how effective he can be remains to be seen. Against Derry, he was efficient and discerning with his efforts because of his hamstring issue. He mightn't be allowed to be so à la carte here.
If Dublin are as passive out of possession as they were against Cork, they are in trouble. Repeat that and the ingenuity and creative running of the Canavans and Darren McCurry will pole-fork their cover.
In Brian Kennedy and Conn Kilpatrick, Malachy O'Rourke have a totemic pair who are bound to ask questions of Stephen Cluxton he hasn't been asked up to this point in the championship. If Michael McKernan was fit, they would have not just an exemplary long-range kicker but one of the best breaking ball winners.
We don't understand the claims that Dublin's progress in this championship has an ominous look about it. They have lost twice and in other games just done about enough. They will need to be more than adequate here and relying on an O'Callaghan at 75% capacity is risky even if Tyrone have been just as inconsistent.
Verdict: Tyrone.

Dessie Farrell quits as Dublin manager after quarter final defeat to Tyrone
All over for Dublin boss after they are well beaten by Tyrone Dessie Farrell announced his resignation as Dublin senior football manager is over, after his side's All-Ireland quarter final loss to Tyrone in Croke Park. Farrell broke the news in a post match interview on TV and then clarified his decision in a press conference. 'I've had a great innings," he said. "I think between being a player for Dublin underage and a senior player and then as an underage coach and a senior coach, manager, whatever you want to call it, I've the guts of 40 years, you know. "So it's a long time and it's been a privilege every year, every step of the journey. I've met some great people. I've had a ringside seat for some of the best players that ever performed in the arena out there. "Some of the new lads we brought in this year, I was still getting to know them, maybe but a great crop of fellas as well. It augurs very well for Dublin football and then there's an older gang that I would have taken from an under 13 development squad and seen them grow from young boys to young men and to older men if you like, and that's a privilege not many get to do and I'm very grateful for that. 'I'm very grateful for the dedication and commitment of all the players and all the coaches and all the backroom teams that I've worked with along the way. "It's a special sort of involvement being involved with Dublin football and we all know how dear and special the GAA is to all of us and I'm just so grateful that I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to do what I do and now is the time to move away.' Farrell took over from Jim Gavin after Dublin had completed a record five All-Ireland title wins in a row in 2019. In his first year in charge, during the year of the Covid pandemic which severely disrupted training and games, he led Dublin to another title when they defeated Mayo 2-14 to 0-15.

Dessie Farrell decision has fans all saying the same thing after loss to Tyrone
Dessie Farrell was visibly emotional as he revealed he was stepping down from his role as Dublin manager following his side's defeat to Tyrone on Saturday. The Dubs exited the All-Ireland at the quarter-final stage for the second year in a row as the Red Hands ran out winners by 0-23 to 0-16 at Croke Park. Farrell confirmed he was leaving the role he has held since 2020 immediately after the full-time whistle. Dublin won two All-Irelands under the 54-year-old. "I would have informed the county board at the start of this season that regardless of what happened, this was going to be my last season," Farrell said after the game. "The players were aware of that and I just informed them inside there to confirm it. "It's been a privilege. As a player and as a coach, I've been involved with Dublin for the guts of 40 years. So it's been a long, long time. "It's been very much part and parcel of my life. I've met some many amazing people along the way, all the backroom teams, all the coaching of the underage teams, minor teams, U21 teams, and the senior teams for the last couple of years. I've met some special people. "I've had a ringside seat in many ways to some of the greatest warriors that ever played the sport. I've been involved with some of them from under 13 right the way through to today. I've seen them grow from young boys to young men to older men. "That's a journey I'm so grateful for. I'm delighted to be involved for as long as I have. We've had some good days and bad days, but that's all a part of professional sport. "Some special memories, and some special bonds and relationships." Dublin fans have taken to social media in their droves to pay tribute to Farrell, who has been hailed as a fantastic servant to the Boys in Blue. One wrote: "Well done Dessie, not only managing the players at minor & U21 that fed into Jim Gavin's 5 in a row team but going on and winning 6 and another. Nothing more can be asked from the man, a great servant to Dublin GAA." Another said: "A better servant to Dublin football would be difficult to find. All the best Dessie." Someone else commented: "Thank you so much Dessie for all your hard work! Brilliant servant to Dublin for almost 40 years! You will be badly missed!" "Best of luck to Dessie for the future. He did his bit for the cause winning 2 all Ireland's 6 leinster titles, and one league title," read another comment. One other person stated: "I admit to being critical of some of the aspects of his tenure as Dublin manager but it's not an easy job so best of luck going forward Dessie and thanks for all the highs and lows that are part of being a Dubs GAA supporter."
