Joe and colm are in an awkward position here. Be consistent and fair and they may face another county who doesn't talk to rte. or ignore and their own reputation for speaking out bravely  without fear nor favour is down the toilet.

In fairness Tyrone's decision not to talk to RTE has got nothing to do with any criticism of the counties negative, cynical tactics by RTE. It was a personal decision taken by Mickey Harte which he was fully entitled to make but the blanket ban should not be extended to all of the Tyrone players and mentors imo. Even Alex Ferguson used to at least send out Mike Phelan to do interviews with the BBC.

Players are free to do as they like. They choose not to, Harte is the not the only Tyrone man to have his name incorrectly blackened by RTE.

Of course the players can do as they like but they all know if they put themselves forward to talk to rte they won't be part of the Tyrone team. Most people wouldn't call that a choice.

They all?

McGuigan and Jordan have made fleeting appearances on RTE and I think Ricey has been on once buy that is probably the height of it.

There is no ban on the players, they choose not to engage with RTE.

Yes players have been on rte but only after they have retired from playing. That proves that individually they have nothing against rte. Mcguigan and Jordan are part pf the sunday game panel and get called on on occasions. Mcmenamin was on it but he was really not a good choice for tv with his speech impediment. The fact that mcguigan and jordan and mcmenamin wouldn't dare to go on rte while they were part of the tyrone squad but then go a few months after retiring shows exactly what the situation is re freedom of choice for the players.

Ex players trying to make a bit of money shocker. They can actually make some money today as pundits unlike TV appearances on RTE back in their playing days.

"Such a fickle nature those who observe from great distance". Micky Harte quote which just popped up on Twitter there after I read this thread.

Yes, but what that proves is that the players as individuals have no axe to grind with rte. They only boycott it while they are playing because of a fear of repercussions from harte.

By the way, remind us all how harte had his name blackened incorrectly by rte.

[Jinxy]

Not many good pundits around from Tyrone.
I can barely understand them anyway.
Logie would be the exception.

Some of the double standards muck spouted about by RTE employees with regard to Harte's team and players have certainly sought to damage his name. Nevermind the personal digs about his family and leaking of confidential information.

Souns like you're clutching at straws with that general, non specific, throw crap at the wall and hope some sticks sort of tirade against rte. The boycott is a bit tiresome and tedious now and the players lose a lot of credit for not being able to think and speak for themselves.

It's not only on the field of play that you're totally oblivious to Canavan's presence. 

[Jinxy]

Oh yeah, forgot about him.
Don't have Sky though.

[ck]

What does that make Sligo.
Don't bother answering.
I seen what it makes ye.
Can't believe ye are 2/1 outsiders v Clare at home.
And we're useless

Hey, I was commenting on the comedy value of Brolly and his outlandish remarks. Pipe down and stop trying to be offended

Yep Canavan is excellent on Sky. Best in the business IMO
Bound to be next Tyrone manager?
