who is this midfielder you all talk of? Genuinely just curious

Did I see Johnny Munroe togged out when the camera panned to bench???

Nope you did not, was chatting to him after the game which he was at with his friends

As expected a win without much trouble, nothing too glamorous but it wasn't needed at this stage. Thought Sparky was very good in the first half, not so much the second, but the likes of McCurry etc who came on did very well in getting scores as well.
On the note of Matty Donnelly , he had a very quiet game and seemed to punch Chrissy McKaigue for no real reason? Seems to have a  lot of anger. Strange.

maybe thats why tyrone are so hard to watch if boys like mc cann are first on the teamsheet.

awk give it a rest would you, you actually add nothing valuable to this forum. I am sick of reading your negativity, do everyone a favour and leave it please.

Any truth if Munroe has left the panel?

Very surprised that Gortin would be allowed to assault an opposing manager with Roger Keenan in charge not a man who would tolerate that kind of behaviour.

Pity Roger didn't get a slap in the gub! Hateful man.

I concur. hateful man indeed.

How come? Genuinely just curious about why he is hateful, I must have missed goss at some stage lol fill me in

Totally agree with you Scoring Zone, the crop of younger players are more interested in their popularity on social media and how they look etc, they enjoy the limelight that comes with playing for your county.

Also I don't really think Tiernan McCann is mass favourite of Harte's compared to the likes of McCrory & McShane, at the minute I think McCann is well worth his spot and puts in some serious shifts.

Will Tyrone retain Ulster championship?

I think they will beat Derry by a large enough margin, but when they come up against Donegal (I think that is who they would play next- correct me if I am wrong) they will struggle massively. Especially if Ryan McHugh is back fully fit again.

I think we are going to take a bit of a hiding in the kingdom.

I have the same feeling, but hopefully not 

As one of the Mayo posters wrote on a different thread, most teams know now how Tyrone are gonna set up and play.
They expect us to play 13/14 men behind the ball. They expect us to not push up for kickouts. They expect us to miss frees from 35+ yards.

My point is we have become very predictable and I think that is why Mickey was toying with the idea of playing Sean and Mattie in at FF. Personally I think "The System" has become a bit of a noose around our neck that we are far too rigid in keeping to. Too often I see players in forward positions scared to take a man on in fear he will lose possession and so turn back and recycle. Sludden and maybe McGeary seems to be one of the few to try to break a tackle and push through into a scoring position. This is why we are not creating goal scoring chances or even good point scoring opportunities as teams are happy to keep us out on the wings 40 yards from goal.

Does anyone know do our players practice free taking on their own as much as they used to or are they too busy doing other stuff? From what I hear free taking requires a lot of practice from week to week but I am asking does our lads still do that or are they working on other stuff. It just seems amazing that this problem doesn't seem to be improving from year to year. Of course players can have an off day like Petey last Sunday but it is the one thing that could be gaining us 4 or 5 more points a game. Would it not even be worth bringing young Brennan in JUST for his free taking duties now that the U21s are over?

I know Mark Bradley & Darren McCurry practice free taking in their own time

I see Mattie Donnelly has been given a 1 match ban for punching Aidan O'Shea at the end of last weeks game, big miss for the Kerry match

dont think anyone on here wants mickey rid???lol. however what most people cant stand judging by the booing on sat night is the shite football. we have no one other than sludden who is willing to take the ball at pace behind a defender as he dosent worry about getting smashed. it takes balls to play that sort of game both inside and outside the white line. as for tiernan mccann he is superb in open space however once he gets closed down like the second half with 2 defensive lines his lack of football nous becomes apparent. if all irelands were handed out on hair gel fake tans sprinting quickly into space diving and not getting smashed then tyrone would have a team of allstars and mccann would be footballer of the year.

Catch yourself on ye dose

Forgot to say also - at least 2 members of the squad are waiting to see what happens this weekend before deciding what to do regarding the states. Deadline for transfers is next Wednesday 8th and they are waiting to see what way they are fixed regarding - selection, game time, result... in that order!!

Heard the same. One of the lads in question is still in club championship

You are correct , 1 is still in club championship and the other has started both championship games to date...

Awk lads come on spill the beans for the rest of us who don't know who you are talking about.

Is Morgan fit for Edendork?

So with regards to the Trillick and Auger game what did happen? Wasn't at it and have only heard from what is on here. Who got their jaw broke? Did Matty Donnelly get injured too?
