Mickey Harte and Malachy O Rourke after the 2013 All Ireland SFC Quarter-Final.
Saturday February 24
Allianz Football League Division One
Monaghan v Tyrone, Castleblayney, 7pm
On the opening weekend when Mayo escaped from Clones armed with the spoils Monaghan knew a brisk response was required.
So Malachy O'Rourke's charges replied by beating Kildare and Kerry in tough encounters. Conor McManus' return added an etxra layer of attacking class in the Kerry win.
Tyrone, though, were satisfied to secure an away victory over Kildare following a couple of disappointing losses.
This match, though, will be revealing.
