McNiece back for Fianna could be the missing link...they would be county champions if he had have been available first game v Killyclogher...IMO....

Rahillys..have no skeet Danny McNulty P.J,Aaron Elliot, Daryl Magee Cairan O'Neill plus 1 or 2 other available at the minute.....

I do understand when we say peaking later on in the season is key and that is 100% fine.... but i will say Mattie and Cathal McCarron are carrying more bulk than they normally do which i can see being a problem for them..i hope i am wrong though.... Get Sundays game to hell out of the road and then the prep starts for the real football and we will see then what happen.....

Man has turned his life around, fair play to him. He has faced shit a lot of us will never know about. Your a negative asshole,  no clown by the way. Let's hope none of your family comes upon addiction, for there sake

Under no circumstances would i talk about mccarrons personnal life on here..... i am only talking about his performances for Tyrone i think he does not look as fit as he was he has bulked up too much imo...

Oh and I can burn a copy of the disk and send it to you, if you don't take my word for it.

Andy Moran in my opinion was subbed because at 34 years off age had run himself into the ground and needed to be replaced after giving McCarron a difficult afternoon....Dont think McCarron looks as sharp as he was.....

The difference in winning and losing that match on Sunday was a freetaker. Mayo have one who is consistent. We do not. We know that we've had this problem for more then 3 years but it still had not been rectified. Christ we went back to Morgan hitting the 50s again. Given the system we're playing we should be able to carry a player whose main reason to be on the field is for the frees. We had it in 80s with Micky Mallon. I'm really starting to lose my patience with Micky Harte. Another perfect example is Mattie Donnelly. He plays him in full forward in three night matches where the wind is blowing a gale and it's pissing down. The first day when it's like summer conditions with a good pitch he's back out in the middle. It makes absolutely no sense

I'd be a supporter of Mickey Harte and still think he is the only man at this moment in time to take the team forward but I agree regarding the freetaker and that some of his decisions being baffling. We play a game that's on the edge, we defend to keep the opposition to 12 points or below and hope to eek out a victory. This keeps us competitive but we are fundamentally flawed in the respect that we need to be converting our own chances. Harte's free kick in the second half was an example of a scenario where very few county teams at any level (never mind Div 1 teams) would miss from. This takes the pressure off the defender as they can push the limits of the tackle a little more safe in the knowledge they are unlikely to get punished from the resulting free. With a Cillian O'Connor or Peter Canavan around a defender is afraid to touch a man, as a certain point results from the free. But this problem has been going on for years. At what point will we accept that we don't have a free taker (which I find hard to believe that a county like Tyrone can unearth at least one decent free taker) and actually try to work longer frees into scoring positions rather than having guys like Morgan and McCurry take pot shots that everyone knows they are going to miss. Especially when we aren't contesting kick outs - we may as well just hand possession back to the opposition. Would it be too difficult to work out 4 or 5 set pieces from frees outside or near 50 yards that results in one of either Peter Harte, Matty Donnelly, Sean or Mark Bradley in a reasonable scoring position to get a shot away?

With regards some of his decisions, I don't understand his selection policy at times, I absolutely agree regarding Matty Donnelly, he hasn't been given a good enough try inside and Sunday was the perfect opportunity to finally make up his mind if it was an option we should pursue. I have nothing against Harry Loughran but I just don't get the logic of throwing him into quite an important game at that stage when we haven't seen him at all in the league up to that point - what has happened to McClure and McNulty? McClure in particular being an interesting option having performed well when given the opportunity this year.

My hope is that Tyrone are in the midst of some heavy training and the legs definitely looked weary - this can often take a toll when shooting. We have to be ready for an ambush in Celtic Park in a few weeks time and maybe the hard miles are being put in now - this isn't a problem the likes of Mayo, Dublin and Kerry face as they plan for August again.

The lack of a free taker and all the problems we had last Sunday cost championship games in Croke Park for the last 2 summers....the year before we scored 10 points v Armagh when we where defeated in Omagh by them....nothing to do with training regime at that time of the year i hope...

Ah feck went to Omagh yesterday it what proved to be a very frustrating day... i do think the players are not playing for the management due to the system i could be wrong but the body language of at least 5/6 players yesterday was poor.... i was asked last night would a new management team bring anything different... i really do think for talk sake if Malachy ORourke was the Tyrone manager we would be playing a different system that possibly would suit the type of players we currently have... this current system is not working and wont work if 5/6 players seem not to be playing it....

What different system do Monaghan operate than Tyrone? They track back in numbers and play a very similar game. It could be argued that with possibly the best forward in Ireland up front in McManus that Harte would actually get more out of the Monaghan team than they are currently getting. The one thing that has consistently beat Tyrone is not taking chances and missing frees.

My point is that a change of manager may change system to what suits us not a system that has failed for the last i dont know how many years.in my opinion we have far better players across the board than most teams....

After getting soaked in Balybofey on saturday  coming home pissed off and cried all week about the performance and vowed i would not go back.....guess what looking forward to going to the game tomorrow v Mayo in Omagh and improved performance and all will be forgive, hon Tyrone........fickle oul sport this...

What did Damian speak out about.Damian is a very articulate individual who is a very well versed in matters gaa.

This is one of his statements on twitter from congress....

the Tyrone club delegates didn't even debate the thing. One delegate told the top table "to do what they wanted."

Sad reflection of the people some of our clubs appoint to county committee......

The above is from his twitter....

What's the story with Teamtalkmag now allowed to broadcast games any more?
Is it the GAA that's stopping them? Why?
How do other channels like Armagh do it?

I told you Damian Harvey spoke out  at congress.. Croke Park pulled the rug on County  Games outside Tyrone, they have no Power to stop them anywhere else at this stage...but that could change...

I did not mean too insult anyone along the way here, its only an opinion that for the money spent on coaching we are getting bad value....

Mickey Harte is part of the problem there is an Entourage of stuff around the Top in this County that are the rest of the mess that needs cleaned up....is it a coincidence that when reporting on congress Teamtalks Damian Harvey quoted Tyrone delegate telling the top table on the QT to "do whatever you want on motion 4" Teamtalk mag all off a sudden have reporting rights removed.... 

for the £200,000 invested in coaching last year in Tyrone never mind the last 8 years.... i expect more than one game plan that does not work against the top handful of teams when push comes to shove....I was asked today would Mickey Harte be evil enough to split this county to get his own way...we all know the answer to that the next 6 months could be interesting....

Just read Mickeys interview after game good honest assesment,you learn more from a defeat sometimes.

Cant see where we are learning to be honest...
