As an Armagh person I would be perfectly happy if Harte keep a load of useless oul fellas on the Tyrone team.

Some of these 'axe' lists are full of mad hyperbole. Half the people listed under OUT. Will probably be on the match-day panel come January.

Would wait on further confirmation before believing this. I wonder have some of the players just been rested for the McKenna Cup. Find it hard to believe he's dropped McGuigan, Mulligan, Harte, Cassidy, Sean O'Neill, McCarron, Devine and even McKenna. Maybe some of them have quit or are injured.

McCarron not mentioned but on ur list??

NaomhBridAbú · November 27, 2012, 09:34:45 PM

thanks for the memories lads

Mckenna cup gives players a chance to compete for league panel. Being dropped now will not necessarily mean dropped for championship. A lot of them boys will need a break and harte would know that.

Kildress man on the panel. Mickey has lost it.

i wonder how many on the "out" list are thinking - "oh no, im not playing in January"
and how many are thinking - "thank f**k im not playing in January"

very good O'Neill, sharp as ever. Has he ever had a kildress man on the senior panel? I know he had a few at underage but can't recall any seniors- did Fran ever make the panel?

ONeill · November 27, 2012, 10:43:59 PM

Wasn't there a lad Tracey who did a lot of scoring in the early 90s? Did he get a run-out?

The out list is a mixture of "done" and "don't cut it".

No biggie.

I don't think you could include McCarron in those brackets. He played some great football this year from half back.

+1. Mulligan playing club championship so won't be in a panel anyway. Managers leaving older heads out of a pre-season tournament and giving rookies a go - shocker!

Journalists lose the run of themselves rather easily these days. I think it's the amount of media and twitter and all that carry on has their heads astray to the extent they wield axes, slam, slash and use hyperbole around anything that looks like a distant relation of a story. This is especially true in Ulster where the GAA media space is saturated and they're all in a tizzy fighting over crumbs. And all this slashing going on at the same time a bit of funding towards a plastic pitch is granted.

County AGM season soon. More nonsense ahead...Roll on xmas!!
