A text into the office – ‘The Hill have started singing, Artane band are out. Getting nervous now!!’
It’s seemingly going to take more than a drop of rain to dampen the spirits of the Dublin and Tyrone support. Welcome to our live coverage, teams to follow…

7:00PM
An anticipated crowd of 70,000 at Headquarters for this quarter-final clash.
6 Aug 2011
7:03PM
The ball has been thrown-in, the prize of a clash with Donegal awaits.
6 Aug 2011
7:04PM
The first point of the game goes to Tyrone!
6 Aug 2011
7:06PM
Pascal McConnell pulls off a brilliant save from Bernard Brogan, before Stephen Cluxton – joint third of Dublin’s points scorers in this year’s Championship – brings Pat Gilroy’s side level. Dublin 0-01 Tyrone 0-01.
6 Aug 2011
7:08PM
Sean Cavanagh gets his first point in the match to put Tyrone back in the lead. Tyrone 0-02 Dublin 0-1.
6 Aug 2011
7:10PM
Diarmuid Connolly puts it over the bar with a little bit of help from the post. Close so far, the teams are level Dublin 0-02 Tyrone 0-02.
6 Aug 2011
7:12PM
Alan Brogan gets a fantastic point for Dublin, making the best of a fine kick-out from Cluxton. The Leinster champions 0-03 Tyrone 0-02.
6 Aug 2011
7:14PM
The Hill like this as Connolly slips his marker to turn on a sixpence and make it Dublin 0-04 Tyrone 0-02.
6 Aug 2011
7:18PM
Connolly is given far too much room by Justin McMahon and secures his third point of the day. A change could be in the offing. Dublin 0-05 Tyrone 0-02.
6 Aug 2011
7:19PM
Yet another score by Dublin’s full forward Connolly! Dublin 0-06 Tyrone 0-2.
6 Aug 2011
7:21PM
Tyrone grab a point back to make it 0-06 to 0-03, but they really have struggled to get into this game. Dublin are dominating the midfield.
6 Aug 2011
7:24PM
With 20 minutes gone, Bernard Brogan grabs his first point of the game to make it Dublin 0-07 Tyrone 0-03.
6 Aug 2011
7:32PM
The Dubs are running away with it now – leading by 0-09 to 0-03.
6 Aug 2011
7:34PM
Mark Donnelly points for Tyrone as Mickey Harte’s men look to make a game of it – Dublin 0-09 Tyrone 0-4.
6 Aug 2011
7:35PM
Is the momentum shifting? Tyrone make it two on the bounce to make it 0-09 to 0-05.
6 Aug 2011
7:39PM
St Vincents man Connolly is just in superb form. He’s just landed his fifth point from open play, all with his left boot – Dublin 0-10 Tyrone 0-05.
6 Aug 2011
7:40PM
Dublin have made it 0-11 to 0-05, with Bernard Brogan bagging his second score of the game. Or was it Alan? Need to get these glasses checked.
6 Aug 2011
7:41PM
Sean Cavanagh grabs a free for Tyrone – 0-11 to 0-06. The first half ends. Superb from Dublin and particularly from their full forward Diarmuid Connolly.
6 Aug 2011
8:00PM
Tyrone arrive out late for the second half – hairdryer treatment? It’s back on…
6 Aug 2011
8:01PM
Connolly can do no wrong, and this time he scores with his right boot to make it 0-12 to 0-06.
6 Aug 2011
8:03PM
Denis Bastick isn’t normally known for his kicking skills but that was a hell of a point, and it’s followed up by an effort from Paul Flynn. Exhibition stuff – all but one of Dublin’s points have come from open play. Dublin 0-14 Tyrone 0-06.
6 Aug 2011
8:10PM
After the Dubs make 0-15 to 0-06, Bernard Brogan is just inches away from scoring but drags his shot across goal! Meanwhile, Dooher pulls one back. Dublin 0-15 Tyrone 0-07.
6 Aug 2011
8:11PM
We can barely keep up! This time Alan Brogan is inches away from scoring the game’s first goal, not that Dublin need it.
6 Aug 2011
8:15PM
Paul Flynn has a chance to shoot for goal but he chooses the safer option for his second score of the game – Dublin 0-16 Tyrone 0-07.
6 Aug 2011
8:15PM
Make that Dublin 0-17 Tyrone 0-08 – Connolly scores again as his effort goes in off the crossbar. Seven points for the forward.
6 Aug 2011
8:18PM
“Tyrone may be struggling but they certainly haven’t given up.” – Martin Penrose slots over from an angle to reduce the arrears to eight points, then it’s the turn of Stephen O’Neill. Dublin 0-17 Tyrone 0-10.
6 Aug 2011
8:20PM
Barry Cahill’s first point in this quarter-final, fed by Connolly – Dublin 0-18 Tyrone 0-10.
6 Aug 2011
8:22PM
Somewhere, somehow, we missed one for the Dubs before Penrose points again – Dublin 0-19 Tyrone 0-11.
6 Aug 2011
8:23PM
Ross O’Connell is on for Michael Dara McAuley. Stephen Cluxton is down injured after clearing Tyrone’s only real goal chance of the game.
6 Aug 2011
8:26PM
Cluxton is fine and he’s just scored his second point of the game from a free. Incidentally, how is he still just 29-years-old? It’s Dublin 0-20 Tyrone 0-11. Before we hit publish, Penrose grabs his fourth point – it’s 0-20 to 0-12.
6 Aug 2011
8:28PM
Will Bernard Brogan be named Footballer Of The Year for two years in a row? He should be on this performance. His fifth point of the match before another is added. Then O’Neill points for Tyrone. Dublin 0-22 Tyrone 0-13.
6 Aug 2011
8:30PM
Tyrone haven’t given and they’re just about alive – another point by Sean Cavanagh. It’s quickly followed by another from Enda McGinley. Dublin 0-22 Tyrone 0-15.
6 Aug 2011
8:34PM
The Red Hand have put in a fine effort but they look tired. Dublin, on the other hand, won’t be far from Sam if they keep playing like this.
6 Aug 2011
8:38PM
Eamon Fennell hits the post and it’s the end of the journey for Tyrone – the match has ended. Dublin were imperious, particularly Diarmuid Connolly. Pat Gilroy’s men will look back on this performance with pride as The Hill rejoice, and the Leinster champions march on to face Donegal. That’s it from us, it has been a pleasure.
As it happened: Dubs give their best performance in years to destroy a ragged Tyrone
