Paul Devlin has been appointed un20 manager on 3 year term

A great appointment, he was very unlucky against Derry in 2016 and then was beaten by the same team that went on to be beaten in an all Ireland final

is the brit referee Michael Connolly?

Fuzzman, with all due respect there no point talking about battles with Dublin. We were supposed to have one on 27th august but only one side turned up.

Could be Devlin himself

[driveherin]

Who is Paul's backroom team?
Was it just Archie Beattie, Larry Strain and Joe McMahon as a team they were up against?
Big call in fairness. Must have been cost that swayed it in Devlin's favour!?

I think it is a good appointment - he has had successful with groups of players before and to be fair to him he did get a rotten draw two years running in minors.

Had it not been for a poor ref decision in 1st round v Derry I believe they would have won that game and we know Derry went all the way to the final.

[Walter Cronc]

Sure you got a penalty in injury time to reduce it to 1 point!

No I'm talking about the incident where Tyrone player got harshly sent off early in 2nd half - I think that was the turning point. Not saying Tyrone where defo going to win 15 v 15 but I think it would have been competitive to the end and just thought that Tyrone could pip them like in the league final when Tyrone finished strongly.

Also his record would be pretty similar to Larry Strain's. He won a club championship as well with Ballinderry.

[GlenMan]

Awful appointment. Poor management decisions were the problem over the last couple of Minor Championship games over the last few years.

As he said himself last year, the team they chose to play against Derry in the Championship had NEVER played together before. WTF?

We ll not know his back room team til he lucks up inta the sky and sees them peering down at him

Didn't know he managed ballinderry
Don't think it's a done deal just yet but both Gallagher and devlin are the preferred candidates with both our chairperson and senior manager but no official announcement yet

Devlin managed Ballinderry surely after a fallout but his children then started to kick a bit a ball and he returned to his beloved Moortown and after rising through the ranks at underage he managed back to back minor crowns and then was surplus to requirements and a fallout followed again, his lads were rumored to be transferring to another club

Ardboe management whom managed back to back minor titles suffered the same fate as them were chased last year after 1 year of a 2/3 year term

Derrylaughan won promotion this year to via a sterling performance in the league and were very unlucky not to win the double albeit some poor decisions by the ref cost them dearly , if my source is correct they have also chased their management team

Is there something in the water round the lough or what ?

Has the senior manager a say in the u17 and u20 management appointments ?
Do you want STG to go mental altogether

I'd say your on the windup but sure mickey has to have a say on everything else in Tyrone so why not this too.

The lowside around the loughshore has always been a bit mad. If you want to stay in management around there, don't be a successful youth manager.

Devlin was successful and got the road in moortown and as you say, so did the Ardboe management who got one year with the senior squad, although their dismissal was nothing to do with football. Rumour has it that the ginger shop keeper in cahoots with the bookmaker and his skivvies (same family) planned the coup that was to end their managerial careers. But that's another topic for another day.

Devlin will probably get a role within the Ardboe youth structures given the fact that his sons are heading that direction, however, that doesn't interest me either. If he gets the Tyrone job and can produce results I will be happy enough.
