Thats gas. Wasnt too long ago that the duo were being pilloried. Now Mickey was a guru! Mickey is and was an outstanding coach in his own right but the two together worked really well. Mickey, by his own admission to me, quite clearly stated that John was the best coach he had ever known.
And where Mickey was brilliant at devising great drills John's training was more game based, involved decision making and involved more game related movement - as opposed to drills which by their nature involve straight line running and 'queueing'.
Each had their own methods which complemented the other.

An awful lot of smart asses and bluffers on here.
Not many coaches have had teams compete at the level Morrison has done so regularly.
Derry, Donegal and Mayo all featured in Croke Park at All Ireland level, quarter finals, semi finals or final. For someone so ridiculed that's a fair record..once might be luck, twice fortunate but three times...
And if you go back over those three - Mayo shot themselves in the foot getting rid of them and are only now recovering, Donegal self destructed - as the players now admit and Derry is so political Ferguson would have his work cut out..

A lot of more 'credible' coaches wouldnt come near his record ....
Yeah he has some unique methods esp around mental prep but many many top class inter county players swear by his coaching ability - in all those counties.

And he often is contacted by other counties to come in and take sessions - Cork being one that he was with.....
You guys at the keyboards wouldn't be fit to lace his boots.....
Ive seen Morrison in action and I know of no other coach who can deal with questions from players looking for help with their own game. Many of the players value the work he has done.

He's definitely different but you couldn't question his coaching ability or his knowledge of the game.
Like many good coaches and players, he knows it and isn't waiting for the approval of keyboard experts to take on any job!

Like every coach, he has his strengths and weaknesses but all you gotta do is take what you need for yourself as a player and a team..

Sunday in the Moy was was a battlefield.Referee let things go early on and was at fault for things taking a turn for the worse.
Mulligan was having a very frustrating day the Moy had him stopped and things were not going his way.He then began to get involved and made a few very bad  tackles.He made a cynical body check on Cavanagh and then got one in turn which he couldn't take and then let loose with his fists but his victim to his credit expertly dealt with him.
Cookstown club must deal with their supporters who jumped the wire and set an example , only for effective stewarding by the homeside we could have been looking at a serious incident.Not good news for people who pay good money to see football .It reminded me of a previous row involving Kildress and that is not what we expect from Division 1 sides !

well as the ultimate neutral i'd take a different view on proceedings.
Both sides were clearly equally culpable for the free for alls on the pitch - I don't know about the supporters; there was so much going on I don't know where they came from. As regards Mulligan his 'check' on Cavanagh was a standard 'stopping the run' foul. No more. Mulligan couldn't move without being dragged all through and when he struck out there were two lads at him. Having said that I thought he could have kept his cool a bit better.

Oh I see now - he obviously was an umpire in the Leinster Final!
Of course you Tyronies might remember your own Jim Curran's whistling performance in the drawn and replayed All Ireland Club Final of 1992.....Eire Og and O Donovan Rossa Skibereen.
Always the small counties that suffer!

It is as I say. No more no less. Don't know that Brennan man. Agree with last poster - impressed with hunger and passion of both sides!

Not the first Carlow man to set foot in the Moy!
John Owens of Eire Og and Carlow played senior football with the Moy in the 80's and was a Tyrone panelist for a while. Played with Plunket Donaghy's team...

Happened to wander into the Moy yesterday to see that game. Am from down south. Couldnt get over the lack of protection for the county men. Philip Jordan was taken out of it and don't think a yellow card was issued. Mulligan was getting lots of hassle and two men jostling him; he got sent off, straight red, no action against the other two. Sean Cavanagh injured when he fell on the ground, arm injured, couldve been walked on - possibly accidental.
Refereeing was as bad as ive ever seen; numerous nasty free for alls... lost control of proceedings because he wouldn't take action early on.
Was competitive to say the least!
Understand your suspicions - but sure thats why I logged on - to express my surprise! I was a previous poster but forgot my username it was so long since I posted. Long been an admirer though of Ulster football. I think you boys are naturally suspicious of strangers - could be MI5!

No no, I'd considrerKillybegs north! Leinster county
Always love to see "neutral" match reports from 1st time posters. You can be sure there is no agenda

No agenda! Am from a county that doesn't allow county players play league matches - and we're close to the bottom of the div 4! Was on my way elsewhere and dropped in. Honest!

Are u from Killybegs by any chance give and go???

Its just your first 4 posts seem very fishy....BOOM!!!

Might seem that way - but I just logged in because of what I saw! didn't even know which club was which until I looked closely at players. Suspicious minds up there - then I suppose ye had to be for a long time!

I thought the other two were sent off because of the melee and not directly for getting involved with Mugser. Tackle on Jordan was so blatant and it was obvious who tackled him; it was incredible the ref didnt get it right; if I'm not mistaken in another incident in which a Moy player was fouled he attempted to book one of his team mates for the foul instead of the opponent!
