Not much to say, the better team won. Kerry just that bit better than us all over the park

Clifford masterclass into the bargain. Paudie battled on manfully, but we didn't even have an alternate option to make a switch

Rory Brennan and McKernan injuries unfortunate

Niall Devlin, Seanie OD were among our better players. Daly & McElholm did OK too - that's from the 2022 u20s

We were too slow in our attacks, our lads either didn't trust their accuracy in the kick pass, or didn't trust their man to win it.

2026, div2 we need more youth added: O'Hare, Rafferty, McElholm
Could Ben Hughes be an option for Clifford next year?
McHugh another option for midfield?
Ronan Cassidy or McCullagh - could they have bettered McCurry s performances the past 2 games? Conor Cush ready for another crack?
Gavin Potter, Callum Daly & Conor Oneill can't be too far away
Cormac Devlin probably the best kick passer coming through
I don't think we have seen the last of Conor McKenna. He has 3 months remaining 9n his current contract

Until now, management have been very cautious. I feel like they have tried to reinvigorate the class of 2021, rather than start afresh

A reality check of a defeat, but we are in a very fortunate position, sitting on a crock of young talent

Bring on the club championship

Strong word that its a Ciaran Meenagh return, as manager

Home Farm hard to beat €10, bit of a dander but you are out and away

I'll be headed here, served me well in the past

The unlucky thing for Derry is that Gallagher had assembled a decent squad, had them playing to a system, had given the players belief in themselves and just when they were about to go to the next level - Gallagher was gone mid championship and with him went most of what he had brought. Since then everyone who has came in has only (and I mean only) been keeping them afloat.

The thing is, they are in need of a similar rebuild now. Mckaigue has retired, McFaul apparently gone too. Regardless he has been well short of his best the last two years
Goalkeeper lynch always injured. McGrogan and McCluskey won't be the same either. Even Rodgers is in the decline and wrong side of 30 now. The limitations of his previous side remain, overly reliant on 1 forward in Shane McGuigan.
A long way back for Derry. Whilst there has been some excellent underage players, none look immediately ready
If Gallagher is indeed reappointed he will be under pressure for immediate results, as many derry gaels will never accept him
It looks destined to end in failure

Bad video of that minor match last night

That Clonoe man shouldn't be allowed through the gates of any GAA match every again, police matter if you ask me

But sure what do you expect from Clonoe, start getting beat and the fighting begins, a tale as old as time

What happened? Havent seen the video.

Minor development game
Cookstown win by 3.
Clonoe coach struck Cookstown coach with a sly vicious slap at Full Time. Chaos ensued therafter.

Surprised to see two men added to the panel by Malachy

Ruairi McHugh
Conor Oneill

Was McHugh in the development squad? Has he been going well for the fianna?

Both men will hardly see game time, but perhaps an eye on next year. New rules suit both. Two quality players... Just a bit surprised at the timing

Would there still be a lack of height coming through? Joey Clarke, Daly, Mcelholm and Mccullagh stand out players but many of them in with a chance to break through

That's a real concern, everything in the garden is rosy, but especially with the new rules, you need plenty of big trees and I don't see too many coming through

Pity about McGleenans injuries
Hopefully Ruairi McHugh can kick on an in the next year or two

Pretty pissed watching this Ulster final given that we gave Armagh every kick out in the semi. Armaghs kick outs look so ordinary when you actually man mark them.

Been thinking the same. Poor from management.

I'd say you'd need to be fairly blind not to see the improvement in Tyrone from last year. Yes it's not perfect yet but we have disposed of a Cavan team who took us to extra time last year, fairly easily and took the reigning all Ireland champions to within a kick of the ball. Yes there's loads of work to do but I'd be fairly confident that we are moving in the right direction.

Pretty much my thoughts as well Benny

Ruthless on McShane. Started the last day, didn't do much wrong, not in the 26 for tomorrow

Take a day off lads

Jeez

Do you want to see progression at all? Donegal, Armagh, Derry have all done the same in the last 12 months

Why the moaning? It comes across as complete resentment and bitterness. Yet if they go on a run, you'll be crying looking tickets

Good to see a few signs of things being worked on. When they could they got early ball into Darragh and McCurry. Big Kennedy a serious operator with conn improving. Some of the support players such as Daly, donaghy and mcgeary good. Not sure what people thoughts are but been impressed with Teague. First proper run at intercounty and doing okay

Peter Teague has been excellent. I'd dread to think how we would have faired out defensively without him and Rory Brennan returning
Pity Hampsey has been missing, they've more than compensated for his absence but if we had him as well in there our defence would look formidable
Interestingly no sign of Hampsey today. Seen 7 players do a separate training session before the game, meyler was one of them but he stepped away from the intensive drills (so still looks a long way off)
Could be wrong, but didn't see Hampsey anywhere today. So can only assume he will be missing for the Ulster championship then too

Is Mcelholm not back with the under 20s?

Could see plenty of the Errigal boys on the bench starting. Unconvinced Niall devlin is a man marking corner back although missed the Galway game. Hopefully can build on the attacking display from last time out

Yeah McElhom has joined up with the u20s , won't be involved with the seniors again til they are done, real farce of a team announcement
Why bother ?

Few changes to come in that Tyrone line up?

I think so

Ronan Cassidy is an excellent prospect, but this level is too soon for him. If Bradley is fit, you'd imagine he will come in for him. Penny for Cathal McShanes thoughts...

Rory Brennan has to be pushing hard for a start too, and I think we could do with Conn for the kick outs
