Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[NotedObserver]

Too many poor players. Don't know what O'Neill brings to this team.

Don't see it at all with Oneill. Clarke in out of nowhere but thought he was okay. If can't get the ball to canavan nothing exciting is going to happen. Subbing of key players with 10 mins to go when game is in the balance doesn't seen right but maybe they have nothing left.

Agree that the 2nd place teams are weaker than the 3rd place on paper but with this Tyrone team they could struggle no matter who it is. You would have fancied Heslin to kick that normally. Shouldn't have been in that position where we were relying on him to miss.

[HokeyPokey]

Definitely seems to be an inability to put teams away.

Though, I wouldn't read too much into Tyrone's chances from this game. Every team has had one or two bad games and Westmeath have run each team close in the group. The reffing also hugely unbalanced this game. Who is significantly better than Tyrone and who couldn't Tyrone beat on their day if they click into gear (big if)?

What was the last free given for?

Cooper hasn't a clue though, basically said that Tyrone are constantly relying on the Canavans and McCurry has been poor for a while. Strange comments given it was Ruairi Canavans full debut and McCurry is brilliant more often than not. Why was he missing today?

Thought it was touched on the ground but it was panic stations at the end. Morgan should have booted it down the field instead of putting the full back line under pressure.

Second match in a row that has happened at it the end.

Really lacking leadership from 6-11.

McCurry has consistently been our best player in the Logan/Dooher years. Cooper talking through his hole there. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Tyrone are relying on Canavan and McCurry a lot. But how many teams have players like them to rely on? And Kerry, how good would they be without Clifford?

Serious question, if we got most things right further back, could the 2 Canavans + McCurry (fit) take us to an All Ireland semi final or Final? I wouldn't bet against it

[God14]

Staggering tactical choices by management, ie constantly going man on man, devoid of a sweeper at the back.

We are always wide open on the break.

The first decent side we meet will knock us out

Sad, as we have better footballers than Derry and Armagh but are playing such a naive gameplan.

Second match in a row that has happened at it the end.

Really lacking leadership from 6-11.

The decision to take off key men late on and replace them with inexperienced players, however tired the old heads were, was crazy. The game was effectively  won yet we end up hanging on.

There is a very good team there if set up correctly but unfortunately we've been a bit of a mess since 2021. Logan and Dooher did an amazing job to deliver that title but they haven't been able to build on it and it's hard to see what the plan is. A change after the summer would probably make sense.

All tyrone are doing now is ripping off the fans on another day out. If they had any manners they'd bow out.

[TheModernGame]

Have Tyrone won a match this year when Mattie Donnelly hasn't played the full 70 minutes?

As a supporter I ask what has been learnt and implemented tactically in regards to game management since the Monaghan game. It doesn't look like anything.

[BrotherMore6592]

We should know by now you write off this Tyrone team at your peril

They can always pull out a big performance, they haven't been the underdog in many games this year of note bar Galway and look how they done in that game

I would have to agree any late stage appearance looks unlikely but would you rather be Armagh ?

They've the all Ireland won ffs

[ONeill]

The soundbites in The Irish News really bugged me this week.

Players who have only been in the squad 5 mins talking about the team turning the corner etc. Not their fault if that's who they're putting forward to face the hacks but pure bullshit.
