This is extremely unfair to pass judgement on young McGleenan at such an early stage in his career.  Many legendary Tyrone players looked to be out of their depth for their first number of games. Think back to a young McNamee V Kerry or McShane V Donegal - both men went on to win All-stars and by all accounts McShane will be back in contention very soon. I've also seen men being brilliant debutants but didn't progress or hang about the panel long enough. Give the kids a bit of time as there's another All Ireland coming in the not too distant future.     

Personally doesn't bother me who Mickey is managing and he did brilliantly with Tyrone up until about 2009 and it must be said that Derry are currently the form team in Ireland. But its February, its after round 2 in the winter league. Long way to go girls and boys and an injury or 2 to a McGuigan or Glass could prove very costly and put a spanner in the works.  Tyrone are on the re-build and days like yesterday are just lessons learned for these young bunch of lads and future All-Ireland champions.

[McCurry was suspended]

Possibly something like,

1. Niall Morgan.
2. Michael McKernan.
3. Pádraig Mampsey.
4. Cormac Quinn.
5. Peter Harte.
6. Frank Burns.
7. Niall Devlin.
8. Brian Kennedy.
9. Conn Kilpatrick.
10. Conor Meyler.
11. Ruairi Canavan.
12. Joe Oguz.
13. Darren McCurry.
14. Darragh Canavan.
15. Michael O'Neill, dropping back.

but who knows?

Is Meyler not out for a few months with a knee injury?
I had heard McCurry was suspended but not sure how true that is as I can't understand how he could be.

Heard that as well. He must have been investigated by the CCCC for punching Graham O'Sullivan in the stomach in the closing stages of the Kerry game.

Does it not go by competition? If McCurry has a ban then he misses the first round of championship I'd say. Rogers misses at least the first round McKenna cup for Derry next year after stamping on a Donegal man.

If it was NFL then Tyrone played Kerry in round 5 so can't imagine a 3 match suspension for that??
 
Round 6 and 7 were wins V Monaghan and they relegated Armagh in the last game.

From Niall Gartland on Twitter/X:

JP McManus donation: Tyrone GAA have worked out they have in effect 108 'clubs' affiliated to the three governing associations (the GAA, LGFA and Camogie). So in real terms a Tyrone club affiliated with one association receives just over £9k euro, a club with two, twice that etc.

What would the breakdown of that be?
47 Football clubs, 10 Hurling clubs, 8 Camogie clubs and 43 Ladies football?

So Carrickmore for example are entitled to 4 x 9k = 36k?

out of interest whats the make up of the 10 hurling clubs in the county?

WT4E - So sorry for your loss and condolences to all of his close relatives and the wider Kildress club family & friends.  Your club has had so many dark days to overcome in recent years but you all have the support of the wider GAA community. RIP Matty

Does anyone know if Paul Donaghy has re-joined the squad? Something badly wrong there if not.

Could someone compile a list of the Tyrone Managers/Coaches/S&C that are currently providing their services in other counties? just interested to know Eg. Ciaran Meenagh - Derry, Peter Hughes Derry, Paddy Tally Kerry, Stephen O'Neill Cavan, Mickey Donnelly Down.

Who's responsibility do fixtures fall to now then?

Many did leave under the MH regime. He lost 5 or 6 from East Tyrone on one night. But, MH seemed to be capable of holding on to the bulk of players from his successful minor & u21 squads but this doesn't seem to be the case with regards to the current set-up with the likes of the two Brennans & Bradley turning their backs on them. A real shame to lose all of them but their clubs will benefit.

No coverage on the all stars this year? Does that mean these awards aren't worth a damn anymore? On other news I see Coalsiland have posted on Facebook that they have appointed Barry Tracey from Greencastle and Stephen McNeice from Coalisland Derrylaughan as the new management team for the 2023 season.

Fixed that for u. Even there ex player managers aren't from Coalisland.

Think you've your facts all mixed up there but I'm sure that Local Expert can clear things up for everyone.  Paddy the brother going to be living in Derrylaughan but Stevy definitely living in Coalisland.

Galbally looked impressive today against the Donegal champs. If they can keep their squad injury free they could really push on in Division 1 next year.

Can anyone explain why Tattyreagh is always written as above ?

It must be a real bone of contention within Fintona that their neighbours with a much smaller pick have been ahead of them for the best part of two decades.  I must say I do admire the community spirit in Tattyreagh led by families such as the Darcy's, Mullins, the Darcy's, Armstrongs, Taggarts and the Darcy's - Always good craic in their social club after games or underage blitzes. 

I thought that Ryan Daly & Noel Hurson did a commendable job in Carmen in winning a league title and leading them to the county final this year.  It will be Archie's third year of involvement which is good continuity.  Out of interest who is now in the backroom team as there seemed to be a reasonable number already there going by the county final.

It is clear from the recent senior championship & league final that the football powerbase is now West Tyrone.
Given that Errigal parish is almost as large as a county - Would they be considered as being East Tyrone or West Tyrone in the old structure?
