The following video report from The Irish News gives some insight into Mickey Harte's thinking over the current saga.... Oh and some information on Brandy dog food...

I think that if Tyrone are to be punished then it should be handed out before the Cavan match.

Perhaps the powers that be in Ulster are hoping Cavan beat them and Tyrone aren't best runners up so they don't qualify anyway.

Regardless, we'll beat them anyway Gaoth Dobhair

So you reckon Micky Harte did it on purpose to get disciplined and then avoid having to be humiliated by Donegal in the final MrC?

Tyrone play the waiting game
18 January 2007

Tyrone County Board are to wait on official notification from the Ulster Council before they take any action over the row about the fielding of illegal players in the McKenna Cup.
"We won't be doing anything about it until we get information from the Ulster Council and I don't think we will be getting that until Friday," said Tyrone secretary Dominic McCaughey. "We'll have to wait and see what they say. We've had nothing in writing yet."
Significantly the Tyrone official claimed there are no penalties in place to deal with the breach in the rules which Tyrone have been cited for.
"There is a need to draft regulations that everyone is happy with and to include penalties if there are breaches. The regulations are there at the moment but there are no penalties associated with them," added McCaughey.

So we have broken (or infracted) the regulations but there's nothing you can do about it. (except meet, realise this, ask for a meeting with the parties concerned so as to be seen to be doing something, ask for the players concerned not to play in the next match which is handy so that they can then play with the U21's, meet with the parties concerned and assure everyone they have been given a severe warning, make sure this is done after team is out of or won competition, rewrite the regulations and penalties for next year.)

I fancy Tyrone to beat Cavan get docked 2 points and then go through on scoring difference or Cavan to beat Tyrone - they go through and Tyrone get docked 2 points. its a tough one.
