Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[The Trap]

A lot of people have already been doing that STG........have you not noticed how much the tyrone support has dwindled?

[BennyHarp]

like all cartels, our own here in little tyrone are only interested in money and power. as police forces across the world have found out, they are very hard to take down. like the big drug cartels in south america the only real way to stop them is for people to stop buying their product thus cutting off money that sustains them. i feel any true tyrone supporter with a consience should do likewise and, A. boycott all tyrone games particularly at healy park and B. refuse to buy any tyrone jerseys or merchandise associated with the new 'sponsor'.

Why are we boycotting games? Jeez lads you are like the leave campaign during the Brexit debate. Full of scaremongering, half truths and downright lies. If you believed half the nonsense on here half the players have left the panel, McAleer and Rushe demanded Tyrone talk to RTE and therefore where shafted, Mickey Harte is running a Cartel for what reason I don't know, the new sponsorship deal is all masterminded by Mickey as he has shares in the company, insinuations that O'Neills are involved due to KK's appearance at TTM awards etc etc and this is just in the last few days. Maybe, just maybe there is just a bunch of lads in the county board and management doing their best for the county. Maybe they have made a few mistakes and not as successful as they once were and maybe we would do things differently but ffs calm down with the hyperbole and innuendos that this thread has descended into.

phew! thanks for putting me at ease benny. and theres me gettin all worked up about nothin.

So the situation is...McAleer and Rush deal up for renewal they meet County Executive and Club Tyrone,finance all sorted and they question is it possible a player can be made available to RTE when asked for an interview after the game,County executive relay information back to Mickey Harte to broker a deal,Harte then on his own bat sources a "new sponsor" offering more money than McAleer and Rushe they say they will match it, they dont get contacted again and new sponsor is announced, no interviews on the night and Club Tyrone send no representatives to the launch..... not the last we will hear of this i presume.... there is some stink around Garvaghy at the minute and eventually this will not end good as the cartel seem to tighten the grip at every opportunity....

I think we all know that's bullshit. If any case if a scenario like this did develop I would hope that the county board would tell a corporate sponsor to ram it rather than let them dictate internal policy. RTE have treated Tyrone GAA and their players disgracefully in recent years.Tiernan McCann and Sean Cavanagh are just two players who were the result of despicable campaigns never mind the depths they sank to with Mickey Harte.

Well believe what what you want too believe..... the whole thing is rotten to core where does it all end, time will tell the way the 3 year contract was handed out and the way the sponsorship was handled is stinking and cannot end good..... Sean Cavanagh was not long runnng to RTE after he retired for a man who was insulted.... there is a dictatorship operating here people will catch on when its too late we are nearly there......

That's Sean Cavanagh's prerogative. Tyrone GAA are within their rights not to talk to RTE and given how RTE have treated  Tyrone GAA I cannot understand the clamour for us to engage with them not can I understand the clamour for corporate sponsors to dictate internal policy. I guess that tells you more about the agenda of those who express such wishes.

Sean Cavanagh Brian McGuigan Philip Jordan among others have all done work for RTE after Tyrone retirement that would tell me that that dont support the dictatorship that operates from within this County..... why not just tell McAleer and Rushe the situation will not be changing??? instead of doing what was done its wrong and stinks from the highest heavon....Mickey Harte managers our football team he should keep his nose out of everything else......

They haven't just worked for rte. They have done interviews also. Sean cavanagh was on this morning for about 10 minutes chatting about moys win yesterday. Harte I'm sure would have been disgusted at the betrayal.

Yes, that's right - Mickey Harte is manager of the football team. Odd how you think a key figure who works with the players everyday should not have any influence of the roles of the people he is charged with managing but on the other hand you think it acceptable external parties like McAleer and Rushe who have no direct involvement with the players should be dictating internal policy.

It's no business of any commercial sponsor to dictate internal policy of Tyrone GAA.

[Il Bomber Destro]

bomber i think you are forgetting that tyrone had a very good relationship with rte up until may 2011 when mickey harte decided to stick his nose in their business. its been downhill since then and the reason why rte cant wait to have a pop at tyrone players. like them or not we need to keep the national media on our side because anything else is counterproductive long term.

If RTE can't wait to have unjustified pops at Tyrone players and the Tyrone team because they have a personal difference with our manager then surely that has to reinforce why we shouldn't deal with them. f**k them. Players have the chance to make a bit of money from media gigs after they retire, I wish they wouldn't work with RTE given some of the nasty and personal manner they have dealt with Tyrone players and Mickey Harte recently but at the end of the day that's their own prerogative.

[southtyronegael]

wise up bomber. did mc aleer and rushe try to pick the team? no they are investing sponsorship money and they are entitled to get as much coverage out of it as possible. the media ban does not allow this so they are right to ask for something be done about it.

Why did the county executive try to clear the air with Harte then??? This is not internal policy of Tyrone Gaa it is the internal policy of a full blown dictatorship..... Harte manages our football team he should not be sticking his nose into these things if he told County Executive his stance does not change and that is relayed to McAleer and Rushe of who ever the sponsor maybe thats fine.....but no he run off and sourced his own sponsor the cartel backed him...... Club Tyrone did not back him and has left a rift on that end.......can you not see this is wrong.... if our County executuive goes back and tells McAleer and rushe that Mickey stance has not changed and we are backing him that is fine who knows McAleer and Rushe may have excepted this but we dont know as no one had the manners to get back to them........ rubbing people up the wrong road at its best....

[BennyHarp]

phew! thanks for putting me at ease benny. and theres me gettin all worked up about nothin.

You're talking about cartels and boycotts. You have lost the plot. Get a bit of perspective into your life man.

[The Trap]

Any word on an under 20 manager? Was Mickey Donnelly not sounded out before he went to Derry?

[Il Bomber Destro]

wise up bomber. did mc aleer and rushe try to pick the team? no they are investing sponsorship money and they are entitled to get as much coverage out of it as possible. the media ban does not allow this so they are right to ask for something be done about it.

Well you seem to be upset that a corporate sponsor aren't allowed interfere with internal policy. It's a very strange position to take up.

It's not just about making money. Sean Cavanagh was on rte radio this morning for nearly 10 minutes chatting about winning for moy yesterday. He did an interview with rte just a day after retiring. These are the type of unpaid interviews which he wasn't allowed to do for the last number of years. He's happy to do them now.

Rumour Mill has it McAleer and Rushe were shafted badly. Offer came in higher than their deal, they agreed to match it but the very next day "new sponsors" announced. Stinks

Also hearing Begleys are fuming. Apparently with all the "rumours" flying around they repeatedly asked the County Board/Representatives was there going to be a change and were reassured No. So they bought in loads and loads of McAleer and Rushe gear for Xmas only to be shafted also. Parents the same who have been paying off on gear for the big man
