McKenna Cup 2024

[tbrick18]

f**k Mickey Harte why should he be dictating the terms of the competition. If the Ulster Council told him tough shit then he would have to lick his wounds and play the McKenna Cup without the Uni lads anyway because Tyrone "don't do challenge matches".

There should be an * beside any win they've had since 2007 (They won because they used all their college players!)

I'm sure the vast majority of people don't give a crap about the uni's preparations for the sigerson cup and will have no interest in the competition. It's an easy way to give Harte amuse. As the most successful manager in ulster I will trust his judgement which he has been consistent on over the years.

Judgement has nothing to do with it. If the GAA set rules, and a manager blatantly encourages/forces his players to break those rules it's not in keeping with the ethos of GAA.
He's going against the very organisation he is a part of for his own petty gains.
He comes across as a man who very much likes being top of the heap and sticks 2 fingers up to anyone who dare tell him to follow someone elses rules.
Regardless of whether you agree with the Universities being involved in the McKenna cup or not, the Ulster Council need to grow a set and stand up to MH. Everyone else plays by the rules or the organisation....why shouldn't he. Why should he have a right to flaunt the rules when most others abide by them?

[smort]

As much as I agree, it is probably a bit late to try enforcing the rules now when Mickey has got away with it for years. A change to the competition is probably needed.

Came on here to see were the teams named for Sat night and is it on TV or radio anywhere?
Instead ye're still giving out about Mickey Harte and his breaking of the rules whilst the Ulster council do nothing.

You can slag Mickey off all you like but you have to say he's got Tyrone back in reasonably good shape with good competition for places and confidence high. I know the league is a step up but I'm happier going into the start of the league with a lot of our forwards showing good form such as Lavery, Mattie, Ronan, Shea McGuigan, McCurry last week and McAliskey.
Do many of ye rate McNeice?
Surprised Niall McKenna made it into the Gaelic life team of the week this week

Again, mcnulty doesn't seem to be on the squad. Does anyone know what the story is there? From what I have seen of him the past couple of seasons he has great potential at full forward for us.

[The Trap]

If you look at Tyrone's fixtures for National League they will do weel to avoid relegation.......

[shawshank]

Fuzzman the GL's team of the week should not ever be taken seriously. As you say Mc kenna in this weeks, was none existent after the first 5 minutes last week against Derry. James Kielt was on the weeks before for his performance against Fermanagh, and as I was at it, I can tell he was crap, kicked a few points at the end when given the ball but in truth didn't want to know, unlike last Sunday V Tyrone where he came on and was interested and it showed.

[smort]

Why do you think that trap? Tyrone got to the final last year, and Derry and Westmeath have replaced Donegal and Down. Away to Kerry and Cork is tough but we won in Kildare last year and I fancy a win in Celtic Park next weekend.

Oh no, an * beside the McKenna cup victories!! If that doesn't make Mickey toe the line, I don't know what will. Screenexile for Ulster Council Chairman - this is the sort of leadership we need!

Is McCurry injured?  Is Lafferty off the panel?

[Stall the Bailer]

What are these rules Mickey Harte/Tyrone has broke?

Derry might look back at McKenna cup victories but don't think anyone anyone in Tyrone would, so I don't think anyone would be worried by any *. It's a warm up competition to develop the squad. Nothing more.

We've got 3 wee stars at the back of our jersey Screen whereas ye only seem to have the wan.

[sheamy]

There should be a star beside two of them as well as youse were beat in two of those years and had to get the rules changed 
Technically, it's a draw 

(love the same old nonsense year after year. Hard to bate!)

We don't have any actually because it's primarily a soccer tradition!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_%28football_badge%29

A f**king star on the back of a jersey for your 3 All Ireland wins? Tis a good job Kerry or Dublin don't put stars on their jersey cos that's all that would be on them!!

[Fuzzman]

Like yellow cards as well?
You seem to be very agitated with Tyrone of late Screen.
Did some new Tyrone folk cross the border into Draperstown or something.

Don't worry ye will bate us on Sat week again and you'll be in a better place.
