tyrone somewhere anyway

Aye - he;s from Coalisland - he has great potential and I think he has a big future in the game.

Mulligan looked seriously fat in the picture on the bbc website

Do you think he's using the ball to hide his stomach?

Judging by the amount of running he did last night he's in great shape for January. Look forward to seeing him and O'Neill together come the league.

What position does young Bayne play?

Was he a minor last year?
So far which of the new guys in all the squads will be pushing into Mickey's plans if any or is it too soon to say yet?

Its hard to judge the new comers to the Tyrone panel on 1 game in bad conditions. Out of the new players Cassidy and Devlin were the best on Sunday. Cassidy was involved a good bit although didnt win much in the air. Think he has a decent chance of making the panel. Devlin got a point and showed very well in tough conditions.

Last night McAnulla was probably the pick of the new players getting 1-2 from play. Looks like he can take a score but tougher tests lie ahead. Would imagine Swift is in with a good chance with McCaul being out and few new defenders being tried. Donnelly seems to be scoring a lot for UUJ (mainly from free's) but the fact Harte didnt push for him to be in McKenna Cup panel makes it look doubtful that he will make it.

Possibly.  Would be worse if he was using his stomach to hide the ball!

wouldn't that be some forward line a mugsy on top form and SON up front with sean and the brian's supplying the balls.

Eh?

Ciaran Donnelly has scored a good bit for UUJ in McKenna Cup. I dont think he will make the Tyrone panel because Harte didnt try to include him in McKenna Cup panel. If he was considering him I think he would have approached UUJ and tried to get him to play for Tyrone.

o aye, i knew about that. doh!

queens lads claiming last night that there were no disciplinary measures either thought about or introduced for the new experimentary rules and that the ulster council are trying to make the old punishments for double yellows fit. they also claimed that croke park did not agree with the ulster council's reading!

Seems like a farcial interpretation if that's what Ulster Council are imposing suspensions for. The old double yellow suspension would now be the equivalent of being compulsorily sent off for a yellow card offence 4 times, not 2.

Dr McKenna Cup Rd 2

Tyrone 3-9 St Mary's University College 2-11

Tyrone recovered from seven points down at one stage to beat St.Marys Belfast by the minimum margin at Healy  Park  on Wednesday night to keep alive their hopes of qualifying for the semi finals of the Gaelic Life McKenna Cup.
Tyrone manager Mickey Harte handed senior competitive debuts to Niall McGinn, Peter McGahan, Conor O'Donnell, Jason McAnulla and Ryan T O'Neill but it was the students who were looking the more cohesive unit. Full forward John Kelly put St.Marys ahead inside the opening minute but a well taken Martin Penrose point from out on the left wing soon had the sides level. In the fourth minute St.Marys struck for their goal and it was the result of a mistake by Tyrone keeper Johnny Curran who fisted the ball straight to Conor McGourty who gratefully accepted the present to finish to an empty net.
Mark McKenna and Davy Harte exchanged points before debutant Ryan T O'Neill curled over a delightful score. Owen Mulligan was then unlucky to see an effort come back off the post before McGourty hit a fine point at the other end of the field. Tommy McGuigan then converted a Tyrone free but that was to prove to be their last score of the opening period as St.Marys finished strongly. Two Kevin Niblock points coupled with another one from McGourty left St.Marys 1-7 to 0-4 in front at half time.
McGourty opened the second half scoring from a long range free as the students threatened to pick up were they had left off but then Tyrone sprung into life. Owen Mulligan squeezed the ball past keeper Bernard Mullan to the net before good approach play from Cavanagh teed McAnula up for the equalising goal after sixteen minutes, the Omagh player having been denied by keeper Mullan in the opening moments of the half. It was anybody's game at this stage with St.Marys going two in front again through efforts from McGourty and half back Brian Og Maguire. Tyrone looked as though they were heading out of the competition but a trio of McAnula points coupled with a goal from his Omagh club mate O'Donnell put them into the driving seat. St.Marys rallied with McGourty firing to the net in injury time after a Pollock effort had come back off the upright but the Red Hands held on for a narrow win.
