Hopefully all 10,000 of our travelling neighbours got home safely today. Huge crowds in attendance in what was a bit of an anti climax in terms of a spectacle and certainly not what neutrals had hoped to see.... Still 2 vital points on the board and leaves us needing only 2 wins from 3 to potentially win the league. Nice position to be in come this time of year

Things you love to see I think they thought they had won the league 3 games ago.

Im sure you would swap positions but

What do you all think of Mulgrew??

Not at the required standard unfortunately.

Decent Club footballer. But not up to County level.

Ben Mc Donnell the same.

But they always seem to feature for some reason. Strange

Mulgrew falls into the growing category of someone who's been knocking around the Tyrone panel for 3 or 4 years now and doesn't seem to have improved any. Obviously injury hasn't helped in his case but what is he supposed to be? He's been tried out in the full forward line in a few games without ever giving the impression he can win his own ball and beat his man. And he doesn't seem to have the legs to be a wing forward working up and down.

On Ben, this is now his third year on the panel and I actually think he's an example of someone who has improved. He's carved out a niche for himself within the panel as a spoiler around the middle third, and he tends to keep it simple giving the impression he knows his limitations. He's never going to be a superstar but he's a solid squad player.

Where is Brian Kennedy at the minute? I was hoping this would be a big year for him where he would establish himself as our first choice midfielder ahead of Colm Cavanagh. Last year was his break out year at the age of 21 and he got plenty of game time and showed promise. We should be looking for him to kick on this season

I think there are better players in the county than Ben Mc Donnell and David Mulgrew who are not on the panel.

Yet they are consistently featuring in games for our county team.

Like who?

Lee Brennan
Connor Mc Aliskey
Johnny Munroe
Daire Gallagher
Ronan Nugent
Conor O Donnell

Some may have been there before and left of their own accord. But one maybe has to ask the question why.

Brennan didn't cut it and dropped himself off the panel.
McAliskey and Munroe opted out, was Munroe not in Australia recently too?
O'Donnell must be well in his 30s and is no better than either of those, ditto Nugent and Gallagher.

Have to agree. Whilst mcaliskey, brennan and munroe are good enough they all opted out of the panel themselves. With regards to odonnell, nugent and gallagher none are good enough. Personally think the 2 players in question arent even in the bottom 5/10 of the panel. They may not be starters but they are good team players who are holding their own when we have a lot of our key men injured. Mulgrew was very good underage and had made a great start to his senior career before injuries having scored 2 goals in croke park against armagh a few years back.

So because someone was a good underage player and scored 2 goals in a landslide victory almost 3 years ago they are worthy of a place on our county senior panel??

Id like someone to point out to me how they are holding their own as county senior players?

And what basis have you for saying the guys you suggested would do any better? Mulgrew is a talented footballer who has spent the best part of the past two years on the treatment table. McDonnell has done ok in the opportunities presented - both are 23 I think, plenty of time for them to develop and bed themselves in.

Having watched them play for both Club & County I think if they had been afforded the opportunities both Mc Donnell and Mulgrew have they would be better additions to our squad at present.

I wouldnt say Lee Brennan didnt cut it! He was very good in Ballybofey few years back when introduced as a sub v Donegal - when it really mattered.

All a matter of opinions then. Do you honestly believe either of these 2 players have cut it in a Tyrone Jersey?

In my eyes all are better than the two players on the panel.

Will take alot to convince me otherwise.

A few Ulster Counties out training already.

Anyone know when Tyrone commence or any names of new call ups?

Who from this U20 team will get called up to the Senior panel within the next few years?

Club Tyrone have lost 200 members @£500 per year. That's £100000 per year gone. Any wonder prices for club league games went up last year.

Just shows what you know about Club football within our County.

All gates collected at Club League games go directly to the host Clubs.
