the way things are going our in-house games will be 10 a side !!!

Forgot to say also - at least 2 members of the squad are waiting to see what happens this weekend before deciding what to do regarding the states. Deadline for transfers is next Wednesday 8th and they are waiting to see what way they are fixed regarding - selection, game time, result... in that order!!

I wouldn't worry too much. These lads who are leaving are decent squad players but aren't going to make or break a possible All Ireland push anytime soon. They are probably looking over their shoulder and seeing a raft of U21 coming along like the Brennan's, Bradley, Meyler etc and realising that they are falling further and further down the pecking order. I don't blame them for jumping ship and either making a bit of cash in America or concentrating on their clubs.

Well I doubt they will know if there is any change regarding selection, game time or result by Wednesday as he announces the team on Thursday and the match is Saturday the 11th. I smell bullshit

I thought that was a strange comment to make. As far as I would be aware, GAA participation amongst  young people in the occupied 6 counties was increasing (Open to correction, just my perception).
Martin seemed to make his point due to the 6 counties senior teams lack of quality this past few years - does this have any merit?

Why does Irish News hype up young Tyrone players so much? seems to be more than other counties... was Kyle Coney then Ronan O Neill and now moved on to Mark Bradley after one game. Doesn't do them any favours

Heard the same. One of the lads in question is still in club championship

[Keyboard Warrior]

Would it be useful for Tyrone to have a junior team? Seems more of a Munster thing but may be a useful intermediate step to Senior. Much has been talked of certain players county potential I think it could have merit. Given the club fixtures are regularly thrown to the wayside anyway you'd suspect it wouldn't cause any more fixture havoc.

Any thoughts?

You are correct , 1 is still in club championship and the other has started both championship games to date...

We used to have one up to around 87 or 88. IIRC we won it in 86 and a couple of players stepped up to the senior panel later in the summer.
What are the current rules around eligibility, is it simply a reserve team or is it players picked from non-Senior clubs?

Unaware of the rules surrounding eligibility, if it were non-senior clubs only then perhaps that would defeat the purpose a bit. I'm sure it could be ran at minimal enough cost, given it's potential benefits.

Awk lads come on spill the beans for the rest of us who don't know who you are talking about.
