No match should throw in later than 4 pm on Sundays.

If reserve & senior, games should be 12.30pm and 2.00pm unless agreed otherwise. (Senior only still 2.00pm).
Game finished 3.30pm, leaving plenty of the day to spend with family/friends.
Current setup is an archaic process, where games arent finished to almost 5.30pm.

The brother Lorcan I believe.

He was an S&C coach for some team in the past I believe cant mind who - must be into the coaching/managing too.

He was S&C coach with Slaughtneil in 2019 and I think he has been with Cavan underage teams as well in the last.

He was also S & C for TyroneU21s in 2015 when they won the All Ireland !!!

You're right so he was. Forgot about that and the Fermanagh job. Maybe he wasn't at Cavan at all. Hard to keep up sometimes with who has been where.

Was in Cavan with McGleenan. However, I don't think it matters where he has been. Edendork will struggle this year big time with Morgan, Darren and Conn with Tyrone. Edendork have a good 15 (Including the 3 county lads) but after that they are very very poor. Barely anything on the bench in the championship last year against Carrickmore and it cost them the game.

Edendork the standout team in Intermediate this year. Will go in as favourites for both league and championship. With the exception of Eglish, they will still expect to win their starred games against anyone else in Division 2.

I would imagine Clogher, Owen Roes, Gortin, Moortown, Augher, Beragh, Aghyaran, Greencastle, Strabane, Stewartstown, Newtown (In order of 2019 league table) will have something to say about that. Tyrone Intermediate football is the most competitive around the province.

Team talk reporting that Mc shane heading down under,thank god i did not renew my season ticket,could be a short year,Tyrone really lacking a stand out forward now.

If this is true about McShane, who have we got to replace him? I cant think of anyone on the current squad that is similar ball winner and can take his own scores.
Anyone not on the current setup that would be worth a review?

All managers appointed at this stage?
Any clubs entering Ulster League this year?
Any further word of league restructuring? Or was this just hot air at the annual convention?

With majority of clubs now finished up, excluding Division 2 and playoffs, the managerial merry-go-round will be due to kick off soon. Any big sackings? Resignations? Appointments?

It has been voted down in the past (Most likely by non-playing dinosaurs like at National Level), but what about introducing 1B again - So essentially 3 Leagues x 12 teams and 1 x 13?
Or even break it down further again into 5 Leagues x 8 teams and 1 x 9? Play 7 starred and 7 non-starred.
Both options are feasible with the removal of playoffs so can be complete before championship begins. League & Championship Winners promoted, with bottom 2 relegated. Possibly play off 3rd top v 3rd bottom?
League Standings could be seeded for championship the following season to maintain appetite.
Reserve football is dying a slow death - Change is needed ASAP. We will have to break from tradition and split senior & reserve link. Expecting reserves to still be playing football in November is ridiculous.

I see on Twitter last night a club player giving off about 2 club games been changed to accommodate a Club Tyrone Fundraising event involving McShane and McNamee. Assuming by the tweet the clubs involved did not agree to this. Absolute disregard for the club player further highlighted. 

Mtown Gortin draw

Replay during week with quarter at the weekend?

Replay Thursday and Quarter Final Monday with the Semi final the following weekend.

Quarter-Final on Monday night? Are all Junior Quarter-Finals not to be played Friday 13th and Intermediate Quarter-Finals to be played on Sunday 15th? Greencastle wont like the waiting about

The 2017 Club Championship 1st round was played on the weekend of the All-Ireland - Cant see why they would not do it again?
Any word when these fixtures will be released?

Do we once again entertain the idea of 3 divisions x 12 and 1 x 13?

That way we can have 22/24 leagues based on home and away, with 50% of same starred (Senior & U20 Championship where required). Possible reward for teams who are starred somehow?

11 starred fixtures are as planned from day 1, then the standard club player can enjoy a further 11 games whilst Tyrone are playing without the debacle we now face ourselves in. Even bringing back Friday/Sunday double fixtures or Saturday Fixtures.

As evident in Derry, the League Cups are a waste of time with plenty of forfeits.

At present it is impossible for a club team to gain any momentum or keep the squad together.

Given Tyrone are in the preliminary round in ulster there is even less weeks to play with in terms of the non starred games than last year. Can't see how they'd have time to fit the fixtures in if there was any further delays.

Tyrone still have an outside chance of making the league final maybe that's the hold up?

The master list of fixtures are already available - its just the order in which clubs will play is not out - don't see why this should be held up. If they put the fixtures back (which I don't think will happen) shouldn't matter to the match ups.

Poor form teams train all winter and still don't know who their first game is against.

Where is the master list of fixtures available at? Havent seen anything this year. At least it would give an indication of free weekends for players to plan a life.

I notice Louth have adopted the Kerry model regarding an All County championship with intermediate and junior teams combining. It was discussed on joe.ie gas hour at length. It will be interesting to see how it works out.

Has anyone a definitive list of clubs and managers at this stage? Are many Tyrone clubs entering the Ulster league? I see the format has been rejigged to guarantee all teams at least 4 games.

Where can you find the Ulster League format/fixtures?
