What happened Carrickmore tonight? We’re the missing many? Well beat by a mediocre Clarkes team
Heard it was....
Edit by Mod5: better to leave names out of it, especially when only hearsay.
Hear say? The coward done it in front of a couple of hundred people! He should be getting a lengthy ban.
Tbf I named the player but wasn't at game so only going on what I was told, might be wrong name cause there is any amount of likely candidates in that club, few of them should seek professional anger management before something really goes wrong with their wreckless behavior and ruin a lot of lives.
is tyrone among only a few counties that do straight knockout as championship. I think that is best way as counties already have leagues for multigame formats some counties have questionable formats imo i was looking at Derry's format and all teams in the group stage qualify for the knockout stage i know they are playing for seeding but there must be a lack of suspense and jeopardy in the group stage.
We are likely looking at Senior football being at its weakest it has been in a long time. Only two teams of genuine quality would be Trillick and Errigal. After a lot of teams could make a point for being the next best team - Dungannon, Killyclogher, Dromore. A lot of big teams are at a transition stage like Coalisland and Omagh and then a lot of the other teams are young and finding their feet like Carrickmore. I think its just the teams now aren't as strong as they were rather than Friday games causing a decline.
Standard of league football has dipped imo, maybe its people being away travelling but some teams seem very weak.
Errigal ticking along nicely
Whilst Friday night is a good idea from the supporter and player perspective, I ultimately feel it has led to a down turn in quality of football we are seeing. This could be down to a number of reasons -
1. End of the working week, straight home & straight to game with little preparation - not ideal
2. Due to Friday nights, most teams can only train Tuesday (one night) in advance therefore again affecting performance in comparison to normal situation of 2 nights training & game on a Sunday
3. Holidays, travelling, USA, working away etc
4. Young lads nowadays don’t have GAA at the top of their priority list, there is a lot more going on in their lives and massive opportunities work wise which means moving away or working a distance from home
Friday nights are popular among the players due to the social aspect also and obviously supporters like the idea but definitely it is noticeable that the standard has dropped.
Maybe, I am being harsh here but I have seen loads of football over the last 6/8 weeks at all adult levels and there is no stand out team particularly at senior level which for sure creates competitiveness and excitement during the league & championship.
There is no fixtures on the websitre past this friday as far as I can see.Round of league games on both the 15th and 17th july? Would that not be the one week in the whole calendar you would think would have no games let alone two
that’s bound to be peak holiday season for club players surely
Double round 29th and 31st July as per website.
Where is 15th and 17th info from?
Why only the one week break? surely this year we had a little more time to play with than previous years?
If you click onto the league table then click onto your club you will see fixtures up until the end of the season not including championship obviously. Double round as Norf said on 29th and 31st July.
Thanks Square Ball. That's been wrecking my head how to find them!
Double fixtures on a Friday and Sunday are a serious physical demand on players. I'm not sure if there's any other sport where it would happen, although I could be wrong.
Final round of fixtures is September 2nd with the Ulster club kicking off November 6th. You would like to think the CCC would be giving teams a free week after the final league fixtures and before the 1st round of championship and having the championship final two weeks before the Ulster club. That only leaves 6 weeks to run off the Championship which you wouldn't want reduced much more. Not sure where else you would fit these games in.
Unfortunately the Friday night travel from one side of the county to another is a downside of the Friday night games. I think everyone prefers having the games on a Friday though as opposed to a Sunday?
According to the Tyrone website the double round of fixtures is on 29 and 31 July, not 15 & 17 July. The fixture for the 15th goes ahead as normal which is absolutely ridiculous as it is holiday high season for that 1 week each year
The County Board appear to have changed the two week holiday break this year to 1st July - 15 July. I could be wrong but I believe the break normally occurs from the weekend of 12th for two weeks?
100% correct but the CCC like to do things their way
Some interesting results tonight:
Greencastle return to Senior going well with big win over Moortown (Think they celebrated too long after beating Ardboe... was a mini champo session I believe)
Owen Roes go to Pomeroy and turn them over
Also on another note what is up with 2 senior teams not being able to field a reserve team so early in the year???
Be a short club season this year
17 x weeks left!
It'll still run till October.
Watching the hurling here and was wondering is there many Tyrone hurlers play Gaelic for any clubs?
In terms of senior division, errigal (7) possibly 8 of younger canavan gets called up, dromore (4) and Carrickmore (4) are the teams most effected by star gamesWho are the 7 errigal men ?
Trillick also 4
Darragh McAnenley, Niall Kelly, Peter Harte, Joe Oguz, Ben McDonnell, Darragh Canavan but not sure who the 7th is….
