Maybe Mourinho went to Roma too soon. Wolves would have been a nice one for him.

Mickley Harte, I've said it before on a similar thread years ago. It's been open season on Mickey by twitter gobshites for a few years, mainly for giving character references to people in trouble with the authorities, and while I understand people have every right to object to that, it has only increased my admiration of him, being prepared to put his reputation and whatever else on the line to help a person out knowing the flack that was coming his way. There's no Religion in me, hasn't been since I was a child, but when I see the undoubted faith that Mickey wears like a shield I feel envious sometimes.

Covid could age you 10 years in terms of damage to parts of your body.
There is also the example of the 24 year old twins in India who died, I'm sure that that their familiy would like to hear Angelo's theories about young people being unaffected.

Very lucky as I've been able to work from home since last March. A survey went round with most preferring 2-3 days in the office.
I had to go in for the full week recently and you don't get as much done to be honest and most people I know are working more hours these days, so you would think where possible employers would want to keep it that way.
Even for savings on heating offices and other services costs companies are saving money not having people in. I'd still like the odd day in just from a social point of view.

Utd's form has fallen off a cliff since Maguire got injured...certainly shows the effect not having your best defender in your team can have
I wouldn't have said that was correct before but it may be right, slab head has been a liability at times but his replacements haven't been cohesive.
I'd still rather have a better established partner for him, I also doubt he'll be fit for the final.

How do you fit more than 2 of McCurry/Bradley/Brennan/McAliskey/Canavan/O'Neill into a team?
You just can't do it in the modern game I'm afraid and that's where Logan and Dooher are going to have a problem. They are not going to keep all them men happy, Harte got blamed for not utilising those players but they are all to similar in style, small, skillful and elusive but they lack the physicality particularly inside. So it basically boils down to who the management rate and I think Dooher and Logan rate Bradley the highest out of that lot. Harte generally preferred McCurry and McAliskey.
McShane is the key though, he gives us something different inside and hopefully he can return quickly and to his 2019 form. We really lack an alternative there.
I would have to say things aren't looking good for McNulty if he wasn't making the squad at the weekend and was fit. He is the most obvious replacement for McShane and we had McKenna and R Donnelly playing inside on Saturday despite neither of them being inside forwards.

I think it's just frustration at the much a muchness players. These players are all top level, don't make that mistake but sometimes Tyrone could be a bit more adventurous in picking an attacking player over say, one of the attritional men. But it's not a normal situation at present.
Can't really say much, the new management have been dealt a tricky enough task. 4 Ulster clashes in a row in your first 4 games (assuming no qualification in league) is hard to implement anything other than what you know. You are straight into a dogfight and no matter what they say, they won't want to make a habit of losing straight in the door.
Our forward line on Saturday had 4 defenders in it.
Correct - we were unhappy for the latter part of the Harte years because we were too cautious.
Going by the game Saturday not much has changed.
The top teams go for the jugular - we are happy to scrape by and win games and the new management are not differing.
We need to play more forwards

The top team that need him most can't afford him.
Liverpool
But Chelsea and Man City with their huge worldwide fan bases can. FFP
