do you think any young coach with a modern view would  get the chance to express himself in the current set up. if young players are unable to express themselves due to fear and criticism how would a coach. with the media unable to function properly either to give an objective view it all becomes a bit of a farce. thank god for joe brolly he appears to be the only man to say what the others are afraid to.
the southern media dont care about incurring the wrath of the tyrone omerta. it would be great if the northern and local media would take a similar more balanced view. where will the 42 grand go now.

if peter donnelly is on 42 whats  the mickey taker on. dont know how anybody would suggest that garvaghey would be a serious drain on finances, come on how would you know, has anyone ever seen any figures on how much it takes. it cant cost that much, sure theres no cooker gym or warm water in the showers ,cant cost that much.

tyrones first league game this year v roscommon. tyrone abandoned the double sweeper here was the new dawn for 24 minutes. roscommon tore tyrone apart through the middle (even when the greatest sweeper in the history of tyrone football under harte big colm was in situ) scored one goal could have had 5 but for mickey o neill.
the tyrone management scared panicked reverted to type couldnt afford to get beat by the rossies.
2 man sweeper in place tyrone won comfortably. therein was our season right there.
a defensive system bar none (but only against poor teams) tyrone dont give fouls away we were told the greatest ever defence we were told except on the 27th august.
great defensive systems dont contain great defenders.
the facts are there.

if mccarron mccrory and mcnamee were any good tyrone wouldnt need two sweepers. mark bradley would have support and tyrone might have a midfield to compete. logic? dont need too many bullet points for that. note to mickey taker and mr ed play 3 forwards didnt do mayo any harm. what tyrone need is fast hard defenders who can man mark on their own and 3 half backs who can actually tackle.

what role has mccarron to play if his legs are gone. please explain.

any fast tough tackling defenders on show last night lads or sweepers that can run.

ciaran mclaughlin absolutely destroyed mulgrew. what will gavin devlin say now maybe him and the imperial leader need to get their soldiers out of the bunker up in garvaghey. inhouse games make tyrone forwards look great against very poor defenders. mclaughlin pace and strength can mark his own man without needing 2 sweepers either. meyler and michael cassidy the same. but tyrone will still go with the carthorses of mccarron mccrory and colm cavnagh in defence much like the other carthorse the original horse thats coaching them. on another note what a permormfance by conor o donnell in light of a difficult personal week. hard work pays.

tyrone may have won ulster but i actually think we were better last year. ulster is crap at the minute longford no disrespect beat down and monaghan last year. tyrone will not win another sam under mr conservative. hes the cheaper option at the minute for a team thats going to be rudderless next year on the pitch with all the old heads gone.

think all parties be happy. experienced manager in charge of mediocre team wont cost tyrone too much in revenue whats not to like. any word of the money involved?

to persist with the same three players in a fullbackline that was exposed by mayo last year is beyond belief. to play two sweepers to protect them is even more incredulous. colm cavnagh was blewtered after 10m minutes today out on his feet trying to plug holes with that big ambling frame of his. our continued use of small players up front continues to baffle, our u 17 team is full of them too. we kept our zonal marking system in position at 1-7 to 4 pts today and allowed kilkenny fenton and mccarthy the fredom of croke park a bit like oshea parsons and mclaughlin in the last 10mins of QF last year. if you perisit with the same personnel/procedures and expect a different outcome then you are either incredibly stubborn silly or you dont know what the hell your doing. tyrone were poor today but are they really that poor. dublin are an awesome team tyrone are not but i do think a more positive approach with a better fullbackline and a committed plan to attack in numbers would get us closer than our current thinking.

ciaran kilkenny lads come on i know big colm has been outstanding in a poor ulster championship as the blocker but is there a better all round player than kilkenny bar brian fenton and lee keegan.

i wonder if you were picking a combined tyrone dublin team how many tyrone players would get in. i reckon tyrone would get harte in instead of mccaffrey on this years form only. not one other defender cluxton a shoe in. fenton kilkenny  be in the middle. im going to squeeze mattie donnelly in up front at the expense of con o callaghan though i feel o callaghan will be a superstar. thats leaving connolly mccauley flynn brogan and davy byrne as my first 5 subs. 2 0ut of 20. any one want to argue for more?

word is that big colm will play but again this is a risk as his game is all about mobility. he was shocking in last years all ireland quarter final after not having trained for 2 weeks previous so i dont expect much difference this time. harte will still play him though as tyrones defensive structure depends on him. would like to see mcclure play for experience alone. down will bring loads of aggression and pace to this game and i think they will set up like donegal 2016 and hit tyrone on the break. tyrone may not have the kicking day they had the last day and therefore i make this a 2 point game either way with tyrone favs for the win. but this will be close.

now this board have lost the run of themselves if yous suggest mattie donnelly shouldnt be on the team sweet lord. he is indispensible a quality player marking the best 6 in the country in mckaigue ask dermot connolly. tyrones problem isnt the players its the sideline and that joke of a sidekick donkey i know hes known as some other equine variety but hes a donkey ass jinny poor mans shetland whatever. what does he bring to the party. better hope murphys knee is a blowout as he will beat us on his own. hehaw.

lads pray for peace in our wee county. any odds on another carrickmore man being called up before the championship?
