Ah for gods sake if you men cannot see how unsporting Cavanagh is you need to take off your Moy/Tyrone rose tinted glasses! I'm a Tyrone man myself but I'm going to call a spade a spade, he's a tr**p on the field end off!! He was a super footballer who didn't need to indulge in that behaviour but he's chosen to do so. He legacy has been diminished throughout Ireland because of this behaviour.

I think you're making a bit of a mountain out of a molehill here. You see fit to call a player a tr**p for drawing the linesman's attention to an opposition player kicking a member of his team. I don't really see a major problem with this, goes on up and down the country week in, week out.  The player who strikes / kicks has committed the much greater offence.

I think your choice of language here is symptomatic of a larger issue in GAA than players appealing  to officials to enforce the rules of the game i.e. "supporters" who believe they have the right to personally abuse / judge amateur players who are out giving it all for the clubs / counties week in and week out.

Congratulations to Moy team and club, a tremendous achievement to be very proud of.

You've chosen to ignore the fact Sean Cavanagh continually tries to influence the officials decisions, not just the kicking incident on Saturday past. I would see through your argument if it was an isolated incident but its clearly not. I've acknowledged the fact he was a super player but I find his unsportmanship intolerable. The true greats of the game don't/didn't indulge in this behaviour!   

What rubbish, so its sportsmanly to hit someone a box or give them a boot, what would be the manly action to do then? Get retaliation, I thought we were trying to take that thuggish behaviour out of the game.

Someone boots me or slaps me I'll end up going at them and get sent of, which is complete stupidity, the correct action is to get the refs attention

What about the occasions (the majority) when Sean Cavanagh is not the on the receiving end of such 'thuggist behaviour' but a teammate, why does he feel the need to get involved with influencing the officials decision?

[If someone does something stupid that falls into a red card category then it should be highlighted.]

If someone does something stupid that falls into a red card category then it should be highlighted. If he didn't kick out he would have stayed on the field. Sean is a win at all costs fella so if he gets blatantly kicked he's gonna try and get that person punished to gain the competitive advantage. I'm sure he couldn't care less now he's got another all Ireland in his pocket

Is that not what the referee and linesmen are there for?? He constantly tries to influence their decision. Look at the treatment Peter Canavan took in his day yet he didn't partake in such behaviour.

Doesn't make sense that argument. If some **** is nipping him and standing on his toes how's alinesman Gona see it. he gets a lot of treatment. Wee peter was different, he had a reputation of taking no shit, sean takes it and doesn't strike back.
I'm sure you heard the one about canavan after a challenge game in the oppositions showers. In dungannon maybe. That's the rep he carried

FFS - There's a few on here who really need to catch a grip of themselves.

So this is a Gaa discussion board where we're not allowed to have an opinion. Mind you its an opinion that's broadly shared throughout Ireland!

Big Sean managed to get another man lined with his arms outstretched

Noticed that myself, one of the all time greats but its antics like that that make him so unlikeable and lets me honest he has form in that department!

Yip. Its the ones who are so good that they invite special treatment on themselves that are the most detestable. If only everyone was equally average. Maybe players should be banned from being so good. Or maybe kicking out at good players should be set in rule. Even playing field then.

Its my opinion on the man and I believe I'm not alone. I acknowledge he was a super player but his unsporting behaviour diminishes his achievements!

Tiarnan more interested in his tan, six pack and hair than putting in a big hit like Keegan. In other words -  he hasn't got the balls!

Agree 100% and that accusation could be levelled at a few of them!

Not the same balls or will to win as that of the all Ireland winning teams.

Looking forward to the attack of the farm animals next weekend.

Looking forward to your little snowflake tears.

any chance a Tyrone team could go and actually try to play good football?

I think it's a disservice to tar all Tyrone teams with the same brush. We, Pomeroy Plunketts were beaten by a last minute point from St. Colmilles of Meath in the intermediate club all ireland semi final last year. The final score was 3-11 to 2-13 and anybody that attended the game will tell you both teams played all out attacking football. In fact we ended up being pipped in the Tyrone senior semi final this year playing the same brand of attacking football. So to say we all play the defensive football we seen today is simply not true.

Lets count how many different players hit frees in every league game this year.

I'm expecting
1 Morgan
2 Harte
3 Skeet
4 Lee Brennan
5 McCurry

Doesn't McGeary hit the odd one too? Anyone else?

McGeary hits the left sided frees for us and did for St.Marys last year.

There's a man from pomeroy that died from complications resulting from Aussie flu leaving behind a wife and two young babies not even two years old yet the lot of your are Slabbering on here.

Matty Donnelly is no Captain I can tell you that. Very poor for Tyrone this year. It just goes to show how petty and spiteful Harte is when the only man for the job is totally overlooked because he talked to RTE. Nasty behaviour yet again.

I know you're right I think he should have gone with the player that's captained his club to an unlikely O'Neill Cup success. Oh wait. . . .

Good choice by Mickey anyway. Donnelly is a quality player and being captain of his county could potentially make him even better. Also a good example to young lads who aren't good enough initially - go back to your club, work hard on your own development, take responsibility for why you're not getting on and come back a far better player.

I think Matty Donnelly was good enough initially but declined an invitation into the Tyrone squad back in the early years of this decade...but sure don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. All the captain's of Tyrone in the past have been an inspiration to those players around them. Donnelly is ildiscciplined and his decision making on the pitch is poor at times. Although in fairness to Donnelly the brand of football Harte has Tyrone playing it's very hard to tell who's a good footballer and who isn't. Pure and utter scutter.

He was on the panel initially but took the decision to step to one side as he felt he wasn't physically strong enough to be there. Fair play to him, he worked on that and is definitely strong enough now. What a gobshite you are big dog/southtyronegael!

Hold on d**khead you said he wasn't getting on so he left the panel. Donnelly wasn't in the squad so how the hell could he get on? Clown

This is my first comment on Donnelly's captaincy you eejit! I was stating facts not stirring shite like you constantly do on the tyrone threads! Sad individual!!!

Who gives a f**k who's captain next year, whether it's harte, Donnelly, mccrory or Cavanagh it'll not make a pile of difference.

Brian McGuigan turned down a lucrative salary to manage his neighbours in Derry the Loup last year, to quote him on a radio interview "was forced to manage his own club because the previous management had walked away"

The country knows what happened in Ardboe last year as it was well publised in the press following the well organised AGM

Brian in recent weeks was publicly on a rant about the support or lack of it from the Ardboe supporters  and obviously can't stick the heat and is rumoured to have pulled the pin on his managerial career

Not many clubs will want a manger who can't take Criticism, something which goes on along the wire on the majority of GAA pitches in Ireland, no matter who the manager is there will always be a few will disagree with some of the decisions that are made

That's very harsh, can't be easy trying to managing your own club especially when your also trying to run a business in the same area.
