Fear ón Srath Bán

After yesterday's sequence of results perhaps not as intimidating a prospect as it might have appeared in the immediate aftermath of the Kerry rout; questions remain, however, that if Killarney is to be shown as an aberration then Tyrone need to demonstrate a much deeper resistance to quality forward play, particularly around the half-back line.
Carlsberg don't do Gombeenocracies, but by jaysus if they did...

Cork always prove very troublesome for whatever reason for Cork.

A Cork win.

Agreed, our record v these lads in the last 10 years must be poor enough. When was our last win?

They always seem to have the height and strength in the middle 3rd to punish a Mickey Harte team's greatest weakness, our ball-winning in the middle. Their big men bullied us out of it in '09 and it's always seemed to be that way since. This years team is certainly not a physically tall or strong given the retirements but you'd still fancy them, especially playing in Cork. Defence was asleep the last day though, and a less cynical me would say we're due to make hay with our strength up front.

Hard to pick the 15 for this. Matty still at 6? Weakens our attack though, especially in the face of McCurry's injury. Sean isn't at his previous level, hard to consistently preform at that level fair enough but you'd need more from him. McGinley should retain that half-forward role, possible place for RON in the forwards? What's the story on McNamee?

Not as tall? both midfielders against Derry were over 6ft 4 and a 6ft 4 half back, they havent got any smaller

Tyrone will be hockyed. No doubt about it. Same as playing Kerry in Killarney. Playing Cork away only leaves one result.

The Westmeath game answered no questions defensively.

Last win was in '11? Colly Cavanagh with a speculative lobbed goal in dying seconds?

Trileacman, McCurry was rested on Sunday due to the under 21 match this Wednesday,  unless I have missed something?

Fuzzman, there appears to be no story there re Matty's injury. A strange one, was this mentioned by someone in tbe camp or was the only source the teamtalk article?

Sorry I'm wrong about McCurry, misread Fear's post in the Westmeath thread thought Matty and McCurry were "injured".

Yeah it was 2010 and Colm did score a chipped goal. Looked it up there; http://munster.gaa.ie/2010/03/13/nfl-division-1-tyrone-v-cork/

Some change in personnel in both sides.

CORK (SF v Tyrone): K. O'Halloran; R. Carey, M. Shields, E. Cotter; P. Kissane, G. Spillane, N. O'Leary; A. O'Connor, P. O'Neill; P. Kerrigan, D. O'Connor, P. Kelly; D. Goulding, N. Murphy, C. O'Neill.

J. Curran; D. Carlin, J. McMahon, C. McCarron; D. Harte, C. Gormley, R. McMenamin; A. Cassidy, C. Cavanagh; M. Donnelly, B. McGuigan, R. Mulgrew; T. McGuigan, M. Penrose, O. Mulligan.

Massive changes on the Tyrone team and the same can be said for the Cork team as well. Many changes in personnel all round.

The original throw-in time for this one was 3pm, but it has been advanced by 1 hour it seems to 2pm.

The league final last year done a lot for our development and the run to the semi's. Need to win on Sunday to get back on that track. Wins that are not as important to Dublin, Mayo or Kerry to ensure a successful year.

Cork will be going flat out to beat Tyrone to ensure qualification in a top spot and then be in a position to donate the 2 points the following week to their good neighbours.

Redhand Santa

You'd nearly think they were trying to ensure as low a crowd as possible at this one. Clashing it with the cork hurling game and then putting both the cork games on tv will ensure an even lower attendance than the average cork game.

A bit of joined up thinking should have lead to a decent football hurling double header.

ONeill

I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Fuzzman

Have you any more Lotto numbers there Shane.

Any word on Conor Gormley, Joey or Justin?
With the game live on TG4 on Sunday at 2pm I'll not be making the long journey this time.
