If it is not true the woman in question has opened herself up to a case against her so one would have to assume she is telling the truth.

Rorys side line antics for years have been put down to passion. Anyone with half a brain can see that's not passion that is aggression. There is a massive difference.

However no one should judge him until the investigation is finished

Sounds horrible however it is an allegation at this stage and no one knows if its real. Timing seems strange this close to the final.

Poor woman. There was definitely talk of this sort of thing before.

Doesn't surprise me to be honest. Comes across as a total horrible bastard that man.

Spill the beans. Whats going on

I've been watching a lot of old games on Youtube and was thinking how little we have really used the tactic of high ball into the box.
If you look how often a high ball kicked in (either on purpose or especially dropped short) often leads to a goal.

With big McGleenan now on the panel surely this is worth a proper try as a tactic and not just do what a lot of teams do and play a big man in there but rarely hit it in properly. Even if he doesn't catch it for the mark, he can punch it over or create space for the corner forwards.

I know it sounds almost too obvious but how often have we really used this tactic. Goals win matches and often goal chances are hard to come by with yer mass defences these days.
in the 2018 AI final we put big Colm in there for 15 mins near the end but didnt kick that many balls into him. The one we did we got a penalty out of it.

I'd say Dazza and Canavan would enjoy having a big man causing havoc in there.

Fully agree. Think Colm won us 1-1 that time in 2018.eith Kennedy and con we should be putting in 6 or 8 high balls every game.

Donegal have really kicked on since the players ousted the management.

Exactly. So much for the Patrick mcbrearty words at the end of the league about coming out fighting.

Getting rid of their manager was the worst thing they could have done as they put all the blame at his feet and failed to back that up winning their next game.

Dick Clerkin

"if that Tyrone team goes on and competes for Sam Maguire this summer, I will lick Rory Gallagher's post match palms"

Dick still raging about losing the games that really mattered against Tyrone as a player  ;D. He might be a better pundit if he could move on. Wonder how he defines "competes" too. If Tyrone end up even making the last four then he might be making an awkward call to Rory Gallagher.

Disappointing to see the likes of Peter Harte and Niall Morgan in particular coming in for criticism. Wasn't Peter's day but a great player for many years and I'd back him to bounce back again. Morgan too a class act and he did well in Sunday for the most part. His kicking was outstanding. Should have stopped the goal but given it seems pretty much everyone was shocked that O' Toole went for goal then maybe we should cut him some slack. It's perhaps a reflection on the game that going for goal at that stage is seen by many as a risk too big to take or as a reflection of naivety. Would be nice to think it might inspire a slight change of thinking. All credit to O'Toole, who also came across extremely well in his post match appearance on the GAA Social.

I wouldn't say its a reflection on how the game is going as its always about risk verse reward. If he missed it then he would have been slated for a long time not taking the point.  You can praise him for taking the risk but there wouldn have been knifes out for him if he missed it. Imagine losing an ulster final or ai final for example for someone going for glory instead of levelling the game

Thanks to everyone who replied !

I presume then you wouldn't try a game at the end of the session ? normally the game is something closer to rugby/american football

I wouldn't. Too young.

Funny how different clubs do it. I know a number of different clubs who regularly organise u6 5 matches. Some of the young players are great at that age. But as said before it's about getting everyone involved and keeping them engaged.

That free  given to level it for Tyrone for McCurry simply diving to collect the ball


Then playing on minutes over, refusing to blow the final whistle until Monaghan got the ball

Rank amateur shite

Could also point out when monaghan were on the attack with a forward down. Ref played on for about until Monaghan lost it then once tyrone started to break out he called for the play to be stopped much to the angry of the tyrone back line.

The annoying thing about Monaghan is they can produce brilliant displays at times however once they have any sort of scalp they seem happy to disappear again for another year.

They always seem like a team to be happy in Division 1 without any actual desire to go on and win anything, 2 ulster titles in 35 years back that up

That's one of the most insulting things I've read on GAA Board.

A county that has decimated the natural bar set by their population levels, for 2 generations now.

And you describe them as a failure.

It's not just insulting. It's retarded.

Nothing retarded about it. Monghan have had the beating of many ulster teams over the years in certain games. Their failure is doing it at leat semi consistently. No point in pulling a few big games a year out of the bag, they had had the talent over the last 8 years to be challenging for regular ulster titles at least and have failed to do so
Yeah that is probably fair enough tbh. When did they last win one? 2015 was it? McManus one of the best ever to do it probably should have won more.

There last 2 were 2013 and 2015 I think. There were only really Donegal and tyrone in contention between 2015 and 2020 so monaghan definitely should have won at least 1-2 more in that time period.

Now Derry and armagh are on the rise I can't see monghan doing it this year.

I didn't think Matty Donnelly was the man to bring off to be honest. He was going well and would have provided a bit of leadership in those closing stages. As said above our defence was very poor in that 2nd half.

Agreed. Petey should have been taken off before mattie

Well that 2nd half was shocking. The defending for that goal was awful, Morgan beat easily at near post but not a hand laid on them at all the whole way up field.


What does that mean now for Tyrone in new format?

Not sure how the new format works to be honest. Morgan should learn to close his legs, defending in 2nd half was poor. Thought mcshane should have came on around 50th minute Mark as another option. Not sure why he didn't

This is what happens when you play with athletes  and not footballers.  Michael O Neil, Frank burns, Kieran mc Geary, Cormac Quinn. Pure shite.

LOL one of those players won footballer of the year

And never beat the dubs and can't shoot. Wise up. What did your half forward line score today.

You can tell me to wise up all you want but the fact  is he won footballer of the year. Nothing will change that lol.
