Suspensions for Freeman brothers 

Monaghan's Allstar forward Thomas Freeman has been banned for two months following a fracas in a club game.
Last week's league semi-final between Freeman's team Magheracloone and Latton was abandoned after the incident.
His brother and county captain Damien was suspended for four months after being sent-off in the game and he will miss the McKenna Cup and some NFL ties. Maghercloone's Peter Ward was banned for 12 months while four other players were suspended for four months. They are Magheracloone duo Francie Doogan and Paul Jones and Latton's Edmund Lennon and Kevin Hughes.
Damien Freeman will be sidelined for the first four rounds of the National Football League. The fracas started when Lennon and Damien Freeman were dismissed in the second half with Latton holding a 2-4 to 0-6 lead at the time.

Will miss Thomas - a good player though I remember him getting stick from some of his fans in Breffni at the start of the year against Tyrone in the McKenna Cup

[his holiness nb]

I'm not going to read back through this thread, but I am a bit sceptical.
Have ye lads really been talking about Tyrones possibilities of winning the McKenna cup for 53 pages?? 

And to think they say nobody cares about these competitions

Changes to McKenna Cup
The Dr McKenna Cup has been rescheduled to start before the New Year following complaints by some of the university teams about having to playing two games in the space of the week. The Ulster pre-season football competition will now get underway on December 30 with the meeting of Monaghan and Queen's University at Clones. Prior to the change, the first game was set to take place on Wednesday, January 2 with Donegal facing UUJ under lights at Ballybofey, but that has now been put back 24 hours.
Saturday games are now included in the revamped fixture list, with Queen's in action on January 5 against Antrim and again on Sunday, January 12 against Cavan. All Sunday games start at 2pm, while all mid-week games will throw-in at 8pm.

Donnelly out of McKenna Cup
18 December 2007
UUJ captain Peter Donnelly has been ruled out of the Dr McKenna Cup after breaking his arm during a Tyrone trial match last week.
The Coalisland Fianna clubman is now facing a race against time to be fit for Jordanstown's Sigerson Cup first round clash against Sligo IT in February.  It's the second injury setback UUJ have suffered in the space of a week after Antrim forward Paddy Cunningham picked up a knock while playing for his club Lamh Dhearg, which led to him having to go to hospital where he had his appendix removed.

Strange goings on...."sayin as you're here we might as well take your appendix out"
