Back three seemed unusual, but has suited our style of playing from the back, Emre and Gini much more comfortable at bringing the ball out than our usual CB pairings. Trent and Robertson providing real width and getting plenty of ball. Mo been quiet. Everything going through Coutinho in CM. Such an exquisite player. Klopp's rotation policy working at the minute. A clean sheet would be another boost in confidence.

Do Tyrone referee's get a bonus for every drawn game? Time after time they try to bring the losing team back into the game. And they continually get the big games! It's so blatantly obvious too!

I didn't get a programme yesterday but I'd be interested in working out our average age and how that compares to other sides in the top 8, my best guess for us would be...

Mickey O'Neill 26 (could be way off here)
McCrory 29
McNamee 24
McCarron 28
McCann  22
Sludden  22
Harte 24
C Cavanagh 29
M Donnelly 24
McShane 21
Bradley 22
R Donnelly 22
McAliskey 25
S Cavanagh 33
O'Neill 24

Subs

McCury 24
McNulty 23
Munroe 22
McGeary 22
Hampsey 22

Open to correction here (could all be wrong!) but that would leave an approx. average for all 14 outfield players at just below 25 and all five subs had an average age of approx. 22.5. Not a bad profile at all.

Well done to all the lads and great to see young Ronan bagging 2-02. If we can get him as prolific as his minor days we really could have a FF line to do damage later in the year.

As of 22/5, that is the age profile of the squad according to tyronegaa.ie

Neutral - I have yet to witness in my lifetime a more polished 1st half performance from any team, club or at county level like Killyclogher last night !! An absolute joy to watch. Their pace breaking forward, their discipline, their tackling and shot selection (Bradley was exceptional) were on the money. Dromore let themselves down badly in the 1st half especially the 2 men red carded. Mc Cullaghs challenge was as bad if not worse than when he tried to behead the Errigal player a few years back.
Second half Dromore regrouped and despite being 2 men down completely outplayed Killyclogher for the full 30 mins. It looked like Killyclogher game out to try and defend a lead, something that is nearly impossible to achieve in Gaelic Football. It didn't suit them and they looked lost running time and time again in to a Dromore brick wall of defenders, just about crawling over the finish line

What is nearly more amazing is that there has been 10 + posts about the game and nobody has mentioned that fool Mc Hugh in the middle. How this man is rated as a top referee is beyond a joke. Card happy on a power trip (Dromore can't complain about both reds) but in the 2nd half he gave Dromore every chance to drag themselves back into the game. Easy free's time and time again and very harsh on Killyclogher, giving them very little for the same offences. Carlin should never have been sent off (2 soft yellow)
Don't know why Dromore felt hard done by at the final whistle when a few supporters ran the full way across the pitch to try and get at Referee as he gave you's everything in that 2nd period to make a game of it

Very accurate! (Y)

Dead right KYMI (Y)

Difficult to predict the team for this weekend. Did Harte come off with a concussion on Saturday? Probably rules him out of this weekend.  I'd go for
1. Morgan
2. McCrory
3. McNamee
4. McCarron
5. McNabb
6. Donnelly
7. McCann
8. Cavanagh (Colm)
9. McNulty
10. Lavery
11. O'Neill
12. Hughes
13. McCurry
14. Cavanagh (S.)
15. McKenna (N.)

Point being this. 99% of the rest of his passes are with his foot (the game being football). Most of which went sidewards or backwards. So what does he contribute? (From wide right).

Aye with his head.

What exactly does Hendo contribute? Literally passes the ball sidewards or backwards every time

Jordan Hendersons touch has been abysmal. Sterling has got no change out of Dummett. Joe Allen just isn't physical or good enough to play in CM for Liverpool. Brutal brutal stuff. Lovren trying to force it a little. If Coutinho isn't firing we have no creativity at all.

Yes!

Disappointing. Way off the pace. Very slack tracking by Lucas et al. Never thought I'd say this but Henderson doesn't look fit. Stevie looks tired.

Anyone else notice that the subs are not listed as previous for tomorrow?
