Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Be a good time to be a fly on the wall round the Moy. Philly Jordan writing for RTE says Sean Cavanagh's comments have made things difficult and that he is learning from the likes of Brolly and Spillane trying to create headlines.

Two high profile County and Club mates set out their stalls.

Sean tonight on radio Colm should not have been taken off.

To be fair, from what I hear, even the flies are looking out of the Moy these days.

Missed that, is that all he said or was that the only reason he put forward for the defeat?

Said Colm would have made the difference going up the home straight with his know how and leadership quality.He said He stands by his comments last week.

He didn't seem to acknowledge that Colm was injured and implied it was tactical due to Mickey thinking McClure was a more attacking option. Is he suggesting Colm wasn't injured or is he just purposely trying to be controversial again? It's only a few weeks into the championship and Sean's Eamon Dunphy act is getting tiresome already. He's a big enough name already, he doesn't need the controversy to make it as a pundit.

There's no doubt a fit Colm Cavanagh would have made a difference but would an unfit one have? Could he have made his injury worse by playing the full match?

Sean would want to wind the neck in at this stage. Fair enough he has a right to voice his opinion on Tyrone matters but he appears to be using (abusing?) his position to create controversy in order to further his punditry career

was Colm taken off because he was injured. If he was taken off because he ran out of steam then Sean is right If Colm only had enough fitness for 35 mins it should have been in the second half

Great lad for the last 16 years though wasn't he

Tyrone Gaa · May 22, 2018, 11:14:37 PM

Is Sean not suggesting that taking Colm out of the game was a tactical decision rather than an enforced change because of injury? I've said it before Colm is the biggest leader we have in that team and felt he should of been captain. Maybe Sean's commentary is effecting Colm's relationship with Harte. Who knows?

The Trap · May 22, 2018, 11:19:44 PM

My best team of last 20 years would be:
Niall Morgan
Ricey Justin McMahon gormley
Peter harte Mattie Donnelly Philip Jordan
Hub Sean cavanagh
Dooher McGuigan joe McMahon
Oneill Canavan mulligan

You have to wonder why harte and Donnelly didn't perform on Sunday as they are 2 superb players......also why did Beggan outshine Morgan?

southtyronegael · May 23, 2018, 12:03:15 AM

niall morgan ahead of mc connell and devine? mattie donnelly chb? no way peter harte should be in there. what exactly had peter harte done in the big games when the pressure is really on?

Big Sean's crying like a spoilt pup reminds me of the time when Red Rum retired after wining everything, and went onto Chanel 4 Racing live. Between a few mouthfuls of hay he had a right go at trainer Ginger McCain for training him too hard, teaching him how to win, not getting him a pair of red Louboutin horse shoes and worst of all never letting him eat pavlova. It was a very very sad story.
Poor Sean an only a auld box full of medals to weigh down his ego.
