He’s a Dublin legend and a best mate of Michael Murphy.
But Paul Flynn hasn’t shown any sentiment after tipping Tyrone to beat Donegal at MacCumhaill Park this evening.
The RTE pundit says Tyrone should have beaten Jim McGuinness’ men in the Ulster semi-final a few weeks back.
And he says Brian Dooher’s men have the perfect chance to do just that in Ballybofey tonight.
He said “For me, Tyrone should have won that day. I thought they were in control of the game going down the stretch.
“They just sat back and tried to maintain possession, and invited Donegal back into it in a tight affair.
“But there were guys that day like Conn Kilpatrick and Michael O’Neill who were only coming back into the fold and with a couple more weeks training under their belts, they’ll be better.
“Tyrone will be waiting in the long grass and if there’s any hangover from the Ulster final from Donegal’s perspective I think Tyrone can hurt them.
“The form of Oisin Gallen, Peadar Mogan and the O’Donnells has just been phenomenal and the Jim McGuinness factor is huge but I’m going to tip a Tyrone win, by the finest margins.”
