Exclude each of these teams, and Ulster is stronger than the other 3 provinces of the teams remaining.
 
 
 
 

Sure, I never said it was the weakest province. I just said it had the outward appearance of competitiveness due to a general weakness in the province.

Roscommon being the Connacht champions !
 
Fair play to them, I'm sure it means an awful lot after the last day!

They could end up with one more trophy than your lot Wallsy !
 
To be fair they probably will but the only reason I would care about the Nestor Cup is that it is the quickest route to Sam. I know I'd rather be in an All Ireland Semi Final than consoling myself with the thought of "ah sure at least we're still Connacht Champions" after getting humiliated in Croke Park and by a team from Connacht team at that!

Personally, I see Tyrone as similar to the Dublin team of the mid-late 2000's. A strong team who are significantly superior to the vast majority of teams in the country, but that trails off when it comes to the top five. Mayo and Kerry have had the beating of them in the past two seasons. Equally, I will maintain that the collective belief that Ulster is the most exciting and competitive Championship is down to the general paucity of its teams. Tyrone are beginning to break away from the pack, but there remains a belief that beating teams like Derry, Down, and Monaghan is an achievement than it actually is. I consider the Ulster Championship to be full of poor teams, riding the crest of All Ireland victories in the 1990s, which makes it suggestive of being a higher quality than it is. Equally, I can't remember the last time Tyrone beat a "big gun" in the Championship, apart from a declining Donegal team, which also reminds me of the 2000s Dublin teams.

 
Half of this years Division 1 was made up of Ulster teams.
What does that say about the other provinces?
That's the league. In the Ulster Championship it's blanket versus blanket which makes the games closer and people claim that's an indication that the province is stronger, which it isn't. In the last 6 years only 2 Ulster teams have made the All-Ireland final (Donegal twice).
67% points to games ratio at the last Euro's (better than Portugal's)

Mayo will win on Sunday and go on to beat Tyrone in the final!
I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.

There may be a few tickets going back up online next week if there are any returns from clubs. Speaking from my own clubs point of view (small rural club) we received 210 requests for tickets, but we put in an order with the Tyrone County Board for 240 tickets. The reasoning being that there may be some who forgot or have only decided they want to go the game, whilst also trying to accommodate some non club members. The club does this in the hope that if Tyrone get to the Final, they will be eligible to receive more tickets from the County Board when they are more scarce and demand may be higher. A harvesting of sorts
