my eyes are more focused to next year.

You better hope that Tyrone players and management haven't the same focus this Sunday.

Middle 8 not winning an equal share of the breaking ball is a major reason why defence is under pressure. The defence  do turn over alot of forwards to be fair to them.

Massive gaps in the Tyrone defence at moment with a number of defenders switching off. Tyrone need to get back to playing to their strengths. Hard to score against and beat.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Presumably this is a squad member who wasn't involved in any way in Sunday past's squad?

Is this a further player or the same player from the weekend?
That was never a square ball!!

Has Murphy recovered from when Mc kenna put him on his arse? Might take more than last weeks game.

Looked like he slipped and fell forwards from the replays that I saw.

If Tyrone are forced to forfeit because of a Covid case, then the Championship should be put on hold.

Why on earth would you get tested the week of a championship match?

Eh cos you have symptoms and are a risk to your friends, family and team mates.

Is this not old news?? It was well known over the weekend. Surprised the BBC took as long to report it.

Would Armagh cover it up if a player was showing symptoms? I suspect that there would be a few counties that would do so.

I agree.

It would completely devalue it.

The GAA need to be clear on their policy on this imo, if say Leitrim have players missing against Mayo then they should be treated the same as any "big" team would be in a game that's expected to be tight.

Jesus you would hope that players, squads and management in all counties are following all the protocols and best practices. No sympathy for any county, including my own, if they are playing fast and loose with this.

Imagine the team Doc having to account for their conduct if proper procedures were not in place and being followed

Absolutely.

But I get the impression is that all teams will be treated equally with the championship run off in short order with no delays for anybody
