Was at the Tyrone game tonight, wasn't impressed with Tyrone's defence, they made it very easy for Armagh's forwards and to concede 3 goals was not impressive. One to watch who personally I thought should have got called up was Netownstewart/Naomh Owen Full back, Piaras McSorley, impressed throughout the year in Intermediate marking top quality forwards, one to bring in within years to come or even sooner

I'd like to welcome Piaras McSorely's father to the discussion board.

Is Mark Bardley on the panel at the minute? No sign of him yesterday and he is still tipping away for Mountfield on a a saturday

Hasn't played for Mountfield in weeks, start of November maybe. Its the younger brother who is playing for Mountfield still.
Stopped playing to rejoin the Tyrone panel.

4 Players make their debut for Tyrone Seniors

Anything to be said for moving Peter Harte into full forward?
Peter Harte and Mattie Donnelly inside with Mark Bradley operating off them would have the potential to be very dangerous.

1. Niall Morgan
2. Rory Brennan
3. Ronan McNammee
4. Michael McKernan
5. Michael Cassidy
6. Paudie Hampsey
7. Frank Burns
8. Richard Donnelly
9. Colm Cavanagh
10. Kieran McGeary
11. Niall Sludden
12. Conor Meyler
13. Mark Bradley
14. Peter Harte
15. Mattie Donnelly
With that line up and squad, Tyrone should still be very competitive and make the super 8s/SF, all experienced players who have been about for a few years now, debatable though if they can beat Donegal in Ballybofey or any of the top teams in a semi final.

From what's been said on here about the players called up:

Defenders:
Quinn
Kelly
O'Neill
Grimes

Midfield:
Kilpatrick

Forwards:
Kerr

I presume there will be more new faces too.

Very hard to know what impact these players will have but they will freshen up the squad I suppose.
I don't see ONeill or Kelly as an improvement on what is there, likely just make up the squad players like so many before them. Quinn likely in the same boat for a period but has lot of potential down the line, good to see him called up. Grimes I'm sure will be given plenty of opportunity, but I don't know if he could push Michael McKernan or Frank Burns for a starting place, I would fancy him to jump Tiernan McCann in the pecking order but.
Kilpatrick likely to get plenty of opportunities around the middle, an area with the least depth in the squad. Hopefully does well because we have been poor around the middle at times in recent years.
Kerr should also get chances of being the player off McShane, with Mattie injured and Skeet off the panel. Only leaves him and McCurry at present, would like to see him get a chance. But if the returns of Bradley, Brennan or ONeill happen, it would look like squad player stuff for Kerr to.

what about this Niall Gavin lad from Derrytresk? I see he's scooped top scorer a few seasons now..what age is he?

he must be 100

He was a Tyrone Minor in 2009. So hes around 27/28.

From what's been said on here about the players called up:

Defenders:
Quinn
Kelly
O'Neill
Grimes

Midfield:
Kilpatrick

Forwards:
Kerr

I presume there will be more new faces too.

Canavan and Tiarnan Quinn likely after Under 17s finish, which at the latest will be March.

Conn Kilpatrick - Edendork
Michael O'Neill - Ardboe
Conall Grimes - Loughmacrory
Daniel Kerr - Galbally
Conor Quinn - Galbally
Niall Kelly - Errigal Ciaran

Any confirmed call ups as of yet? A lot of rumours but I'm sure we'll not find out for sure until 2 weeks time when they are back to training in "public eye" at Garvaghey

Conn Kilpatrick called up.

Only one I can confirm at present.

Michael O'Neill Ardboe also confirmed.

Townies are junior. Well it hasn't been a bad year after all.

Did I hear they even wheeled out Mugsy for the day?

He got 15 minutes. Clutching at straws at that stage.

Any word if Danny McNulty back in the reckoning then?

Doubt it, from what I hear McClure is going also from panel.

Sounds like there is going to be a massive push on from Clonoe next year then.

McClure was one of the players I would have expected to be cut this year, we have lots of midfield options at the minute and he had been usurped by the likes of Kennedy and Richie Donnelly. Hopefully Kilpatrick gets a go, any word on Paudie McNulty gettingba recall?

Massive boost to the new Clonoe manager....whomever they go for....(still hearing Cassidy is in the running!!!!)

Paudy McNulty had a back operation, I don't know if you'll see the same player...I don't....at this point think he's back.

A pre-condition for Cassidy coming back---NO COUNTY MEN

Stephen McDonnell taking over Clonoe for 2020.
So much for the Cassidy talk.
