Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[TwoUpTwoDown]

From watching the game yesterday, Tyrone should have another good talent pool coming through over the next 5 years. For some, yesterday was their everest, but there is definitely numerous lads who should have ambitions of kicking on.

Delighted with the three schools winning at the three levels. It shows you how much football clearly means to young lads in the county. Digging deeper at senior football in the schools, The Academy made the semi final and could have made the final, St Ciarans seemed to have a major off year but history has them always being competitive and Strabane were beaten after Extra Time by the team that got to the final against The Dean. I'm not sure how other schools got on in lower levels (as I complained before, the advertising of fixtures and results is shocking by Ulster Colleges), but overall Tyrone should be in a very good place over the coming years - so long as the right people can harvest the talent.

Whats the thoughts on the weekend then? I'd be fairly confident of taking the 2 points back up the road. Galway without Comer and Walsh are a totally different team and I'd be very disappointed if we couldn't beat them without those 2 men. 2 wins out of 3 would be a decent return at this stage of the league.

Midfield has gone awol.

[clarshack]

That's at least 3 games in the last 12 months we have had the wind in the 2nd half and we hadn't a clue how to use it.

Midfield has gone awol.

Whole team has gone awol here. Similar to the Roscommon game in that Tyrone played well against the wind then started the second-half strongly and had the game in their hands, then fell apart. Terrible decision making, lack of composure and lack of leadership.

I did suspect that the Donegal win was greatly down to Donegal being awful on the day but hoped it might be a confidence booster for us and something to build on, but apparently not. It's still early enough in the season but very hard to see reasons for optimism here I'm afraid.

Travelling home here, hateful journey after a bad performance.
The thought struck me at the end there, we are a very passive characterless side. You'd think a panel littered with underage success, Ulster senior championships and an all ireland would have a bit more character, nous, skill and fight. Its just not there.

Yip very disappointed to be beaten by a Galway team missing Walsh and Comer. A 3 point defeat flattered us and to be honest I can't see this being turned around. Benefit of the doubt was given last year but too many players out of form for a full year now and showing zero sign of it coming back. Throwing on Canavan having played yesterday for u20s was a desperate throw of the dice. Our defending has become a serious weak point. Either the attacker gets through for a shot or he is fouled.

You haven't slept for a fortnight waiting to post that response. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Not atal, you lost the run over a victory over a terrible
Donegal side, who once again were well beat today. Crazy if you expect anything different next week away to Mayo, then Kerry (who will have be up a gear or 2 by then)

He is right though

We have better footballers than Derry for example, but they will beat us this year, handily. Why is that?

[An Watcher]

Only seen bits n pieces but galway looked as though they dominated midfield.  That was OK back in the day when we had no big lads.  Now we do have we should be doing better.  Am I being harsh as I didn't see the whole game?

Hampsey was marking Tierney for two marked kickouts in the second half when Kilpatrick, Kennedy and Oguz were all on the field.

[tyrone08]

Poor result overall. Defending and tackling in general let us down. Kennedy and Con seem too focused on stopping the opposition players from winning the kickout rather than winning it themselves. Amount of fouls they do generally on kick outs is silly.

However in saying the above tyrone had about 3 very good goal chances and didn't take any of them due to poor handling. Same as roscommon game. They could have easily won both those games.

I hope these issus will sort themselves out in the better weather.
