Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[marty34]

I would not worry about opt outs. There is always willing players to take their place.

You wouldn't worry about opt outs.  I would.  Mark Bradley kicked 2-7 at the weekend - Perhaps if our game is to defensive minded.

Lads from 1 - 20 know they have a chance of playing.

Other lads from say, 21 -32 or whatever probably know where they stand.  Some realise it'd be better for them to play with the club.

Managers should realise players from the panel to get game time I think.  Keep them happy and keep the clubs happy.

Hard to train and train and know you've little chance of coming on.

As a few of us were discussing, the fact that the League in Tír Eoghain directly determines your Championship status, unlike nearly every other county, weighs very heavily on fringe players' minds, leading to the leaching of those players back to the clubs, as we're seeing right now.

Other counties don’t have as many - prob because in other counties the club league is a series of glorified friendlies - in Derry for example it has no bearing on promotion or relegation
This is all based on championship - as a result county players are not too bothered about it.
