Just wondering what's people's views on Morgan now that he's a bit older and wiser.
I have never saw him play for the club but have been told he's a top out field player

To me he's a great shot stopper and seems to deal with the high ball reasonably well for not such a big guy.

I'm just wondering about him continuing to hit the far out frees. Do people feel he's got better at this or much the same. I'm not having a go at him and dont want lads to get all defensive and say stop talking about him just let him get on with it but in my eyes he continually misses more than he scores. I know he doesn't always get the easy ones to boost his confidence but I just wonder EVERY year would we not be better to take it short and try to work a score rather than just kicking away possession each time.

I think he's as good a keeper as in the country. I think he's been removed as our main free taker, he might take the odd one from distance but Peter Harte seems to be hitting 45s these days and possibly McAliskey might have a go when he's back.

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.

I'm quite interested in the prospect of McHugh this year, he seems to have been scoring well in whatever minutes he has gotten in the McKenna Cup so far. Compared to our other inside forwards he also has a bit more height, looks like he's around the 6ft mark so he gives us something different. He didn't really get much of a look in last year so hopefully that changes now.

Meyler also returns from action with St Marys.

Seems to be a real vibe in Fermanagh this year. And unlike the Ulster Championship, they have won the McKenna Cu four-times previously.

the goal was on

Rory looking to put a marker down tommorrow, almost 4 months training done at this stage, playing very strong team throughout and expect 13/14 starters tommorrow. be a difficult game but if Fermanagh can't beat this Tyrone team with that preparation at home, then there is little hope for them comes summer

Jeez, by the sounds of things lads I should be getting down to the bookies to throw a few pounds on this new super power Fermanagh. Doesn't sound like you boys are giving tyrone much of a chance in this game the way you are building up the erne men.

Remember Brian McGuigan being shoved into the fence/sidelines and having to come off injured. Barry Owens had a tremendous game.

Fermanagh handed Tyrone their second defeat in seven days by deservedly winning 0-9 to 0-8 at Enniskillen.
Sean Cavanagh and Stephen O'Neill hit early points for Tyrone but the Red Hands then suffered a blow when Brian McGuigan was forced off by injury.

Fermanagh levelled at 0-4 apiece but Tyrone led 0-6 to 0-4 at the break.

Points from Brewster, Shane McDermott, Shane Goan and Ciaran O'Reilly put Fermanagh two ahead and they held on to maintain their 100 per cent record.

Fermanagh seemed to have more appetite for the game and their attitude was typified by the performances of defenders Barry Owens and Shane McDermott while O'Reilly, James Sherry and Ryan Keenan had fine games in attack.

Cavanagh and O'Neill scored the opening two points of the game but two O'Reilly scores and a Sherry effort put Fermanagh ahead.

Two O'Neill points restored Tyrone's lead before Sherry levelled the game again with Fermanagh's four point.

Tyrone finished the half the stronger thanks to a Cavanagh free and a Martin Penrose point which was nearly a goal with Fermanagh goalkeeper Chris O'Brien superbly deflecting the shot over the bar.

Amazingly, Tyrone were held scoreless for the opening 27 minutes of the second half as Fermanagh dominated possession.

They took the lead in the 50th minute when Shane Goan swung over a great point and Ciaran O'Reilly then added to the Erne lead.

O'Neill cut Fermanagh's lead to the minimum but Mark Little's point then restored Fermanagh's two-point advantage.

Tyrone's Peter Donnelly scored the final point of the match but Fermanagh were not to be denied.

It's still a fairly strong side but it's still early doors and Fermanagh would look to be a fair bit ahead of us in preparation.

I'd also imagine we won't be dropping any players off the panel after the McKenna Cup. We've lost Cavanagh, the two McMahons and Cahir McCullagh from last year's side, Munroe also left the panel at the end of the league last year so that's 5 players less than last year's squad and we only have the four new faces in.

What are you on about? You are from Fermanagh !!!

By all accounts Tyrone still playing that defensive sh*te doesnt bode well for the real money in the months ahead.
