Logic and GAA normally don't go together in the same sentence...

Quote from: An Watcher on April 29, 2024, 06:52:35 AMWhat did yous think of canavan on the Sunday Game last night. Thought he was critical without being overly so. Mentioned that Tyrone put no pressure on the new donegal keepers kick outs. He thought that Morgan could have come out a bit more just to pressurise him on the kick outs without going gong ho like derry. At the same time he mentioned the lack of men to come off the bench.
Quote from: square_ball on April 28, 2024, 08:51:06 PMLack of any sort of strength in depth killed us today. One enforced sub and another in the 63rd minute in normal time tells the tale.
Can't fault the effort and performance and probably should have seen it out in normal time. Once it went to extra time we were always going to struggle particularly with the lack of changes made.
Hopefully Meyler and Harte will be back for the group stage. I'd be expecting QF minimum and then after that who knows.
Quote from: An Watcher on April 28, 2024, 09:33:51 PM3rd place wrecked us in the groups last year. Westmeath followed by donegal so by the time we got to kerry on the third weekend we were knackered. Hopefully there's better luck with the draws this year
Quote from: Truthsayer on April 22, 2024, 11:45:37 AMQuote from: trueblue1234 on April 22, 2024, 11:37:52 AMDef needs reviewed: they know that. Hard to plan for every single player to get a black card, of all the ones to get one Hampsey probably be the most damaging (Mattie too). I see the glass half full not half empty: 9 players made championship debut. When it went back to 15 v 15 was never in doubt. To go to Cavan and be hauled back like that and win showed great character.Quote from: Truthsayer on April 22, 2024, 08:32:31 AMYou don't think going a man down and how to cope with it is an element that the management should have dealt with in training? I would be asking serious questions about why we opened up so quickly during those 10 mins. That re-organisation lies with management imo.Quote from: tyroneman on April 22, 2024, 07:22:11 AMNah you've still lost me. Maybe I'm not up to speed with gameplans. You mention Derry, they were a shambles at the weekend. Kerry scraped past Cork. I've must have a simpler outlook. Tyrone went away from home and beat a side just beat Monaghan. Things went badly awry on the black card and need to look at why. Sitting in Breffini Park yesterday wat I saw was Tyrone were the much better team and when it was 15 v 15 Cavan wouldn't have won if we were there to next Tuesday. Next up... Donegal.Quote from: Truthsayer on April 21, 2024, 11:15:44 PMQuote from: tyroneman on April 21, 2024, 11:04:40 PMNo issue with players being blooded, transition years, need to gain experience...all that stuff....fine...What does that even mean? Lost their way when Hampsey went off on the black card... need to look at that. They were the much better side.
But surely you should be able to see a plan, a system, some kind of tactics beyond the basic, something to give these players a structure to develop in ...
What that means is exactly what it says. It's great to see new players get brought in and given a meaningful taste of league and championship.
There is also a lot of talent there, which means we can go on scoring sprees and look fantastic for periods. All good. So the raw ingredients are there.
What is not evident is a system or structured gameplay to compete with Dublin/Kerry/Derry (and McGuiness back means Donegal are also a much diffeent prospect).
There is zero consistency in the team, from quarter to quarter, never mind game to game.
Maybe I just dont see/understand the current tactics as well as others and I would be delighted to be proved wrong.
Maybe I don't have your expectations of a team in transition. Reality check: They won't be beating Kerry or Dublin no more than Derry or Donegal will...
Quote from: Armagh18 on April 20, 2024, 07:26:47 PMGoal scoring opportunity so once its inside 21 its a pen. Thought it should be black under new rule?
David all about me Gough has to give a black card for something after.
Quote from: TyroneFan100 on April 16, 2024, 02:37:33 PMVery disappointing that none of the incredibly successful CBS Hogan Cup winning team got awarded an Ulster Colleges All Star.
Quote from: square_ball on April 16, 2024, 10:58:45 AMQuote from: superstar_ on April 16, 2024, 09:43:59 AMLoughmacrory should be concerned. Missing their 3 U20s and Donaghy on the seniors but Omagh also down men shows the lack of depth Lough have in their squad. They have lost a few important players to emigration and their must be internal fear of a relegation battle. Be a lot of expectations on McElholm and McCullagh this year.
No more word on McElholm going to Australian Rules or is that out the window now? He was very impressive last week against Monaghan in the U20s.

Quote from: NotedObserver on April 04, 2024, 04:29:42 PMDisappointing but I am sure he was disappointed not to get game time v Dublin
Quote from: Mario on March 25, 2024, 04:39:46 PMWhy has he not had more game time since? I thought he'd be straight back in to first 15 but management seemed to prefer Murray and he finally rewarded them for that.
Quote from: Goals_Will_Come on March 25, 2024, 12:48:03 PMQuote from: Goals_Will_Come on February 09, 2024, 12:13:09 PMAn Ulster University side backboned by Tyrone players have qualified for the Sigerson Cup final with a 1-13 to 0-11 victory over Maynooth tonight. Darragh and Ruairi Canavan, Ciaran Daly, Conor Cush, Peter Og McCartan, Oisin McCann and Steve Donaghy started for Ulster University while Dara Curran, Adam Donaghy, Eoin Montgomery, James Quinn, Harry Morgan and second-half sub Danny Fullerton were named on the bench.Best thing for Conor Cush would be to release him back and let him have a full season with Donaghmore. Was fast tracked too soon after the 2022 U20 win, has done him no favours longer term. Good season with his club would surely help.
Oisin McCann for me stood out. Surely worth a go on the County panel, has the physical size and is full of talent. If he got a run with the county I think he would turn into a top player.
I remain unconvinced by Conor Cush, I am not sure if he is cut out for the top level.
Nathan McCarron another who would probably benefit from being released back to his club, two games this year and hooked at half time in both. Wouldn't be good for confidence.

Not sure what took the CCC so long when releasing the fixtures. They are the exact same as last year, only difference is home/away is flipped for each round from last year. Shocking stuff.
