Hard to believe we're ahead at half time. Colm Cavanagh making all the difference. Peter Harte and Matty stepping up to the plate too.

Nudie Hughes good value on northern sound

Very important win for Monaghan.

With Monaghan getting the win, it looks like the relegation battle is between Tyrone, Mayo, Donegal, and Kildare.

Be surprising if Kerry got pulled into it even though they are on 4 points.

We had ample chances to get something there tonight. We don't have the forwards to compete at the top.

Tyrone have a lot of work to do to stay in D1

We're unchanged for tomorrow.
Was hoping to see a change in ff line but not to be.

Great to get the win in Blayney tonight. After beating Kerry I was fairly confident we'd be safe in Division 1, but that should secure it now and means we can play the remaining games with a little more freedom and keep exposing the younger players to this level of football.

Fairly cagey game, we started strong but faded for most of the first half, struggling to break down Tyrone's defence. They're a tough team to attack against at the best of times, but we looked lost several times going forward, with nobody willing to take on the responsibility to shoot. That's why McManus coming in was such a boost, he lifted the whole team to edge ahead. That first free was a horrible one to take coming in cold but he absolutely nailed it. Good to see Kieran Hughes making his first appearance of the year too, and he was another man who was sorely missed in terms of making things happen going forward earlier in the game. Even with the late surge though, we still invited Tyrone onto us and they could easily have snatched a draw which wouldn't have been any robbery. But we held on, that's three tight games we've won, and coming out on the right side of those kind of games is a good trait to have. There were some nice scores, but it wasn't a pretty game at times and it's one of those that you're just happy to get the win and get out. I doubt it'll have any bearing on the championship meeting, alot of time and football to play out before we meet again.

Not too dissimilar to the league game v Tyrone in Inniskeen where Tyrone fluffed a late chance to equalise the game. We won this one despite pulling our (considerable) punches :)
I think Tyrone can rue their throwing away 2 or 3  good positions in search of a goal in the last quarter when the game was still up for grabs, that was unusually injudicious for Tyrone.
Seeing as old timers Dessie Mone and Vinny Corey got plenty of game time and did well, you'd wonder why Malachy couldn't have got more use out of Paul Finlay last year, besides a few minutes here and there.

Not really, there would always be Galway.

You'd have to be from Tyrone to post such a dumb request right after post which offered you a viable link to a quality stream of the the Monaghan v Tyrone game.

Monaghan have some tidy grounds for a small county. Clones obviously but Castleblaney looked a decent ground with a fine stand and Iniskeen is a nice small ground.

Mayo and Tyrone looks like a relegation playoff. Two of the apparent top four heading into the year..
