Happened all the time this year. Was clear at 1/2 time yesterday that Hampsey needed to be moved off Clifford and McCurry needed to be subbed. They however did the same as they did against Armagh. Waited for 10-15mins into the half after which Tyrone were facing a substantial deficit.Was wondering were you were... waiting for Tyrone to lose to give management a slating.
It would have been so easy to move Teague who held O'Shea to next to nothing onto Clifford. It was what, Hampseys 3rd start of the year? They took the risk of starting him on Clifford that's fair enough, but at half time they surely had to realise their choice was wrong. They even had Aidan Clarke on the bench to come on mark Ose if Teague was moved on to him.
Likewise McElholms best impact has been off the bench, all year they've tried to play 3 small forwards and all year it's been a disaster. Whether McCurry, Dara and Ruari v Armagh or McCurry, Dara and sparky against Mayo it hasn't worked and hamstrung our attack. What ends up happening is because of the 3v3 rule and because Matty Donnelly usually stays up then one of the 3 has to play as a CHF. McElholm and McCurry chasing shadows around their own defence and offering nothing on breaks or kick outs really holds Tyrone back. Or Dara who's the only one of them who is a tenacious tackler but wasting all his energy chasing defenders.
McElholms best performances have been off the bench as the game opens up and his pace can cause problems. There was a better kickout strategy at least yesterday but so much of the rest of the setup didn't make sense.![]()

Is that really slating management!
MOR seems a big improvement on the last 3 years but the above is just a couple of observations / comments.
Management did seem a little slow in responding to a few situations that required fire fighting - MOR even mentioned that they had left Hampsey hung out to dry a little. Seems fair in a discussion forum to ask how they could have responded - better, sooner, etc. - genuine question - be good to have a few insights how they could have responded.
Same with Mc Elholm - as good as he has been it's his first year in senior with a lot of S&C still required ahead of him - was it a good idea to start him - again a genuine question!
Appreciate Tyrone are short of a few players in some positions and also suffering with injuries but some of the questions are still worth raising.
MOR said that Kerry were better at penetrating Tyrone's defence but Tyrone struggled to penetrate Kerry - be good to have a better understanding of how and why that happens.
Haven't seen any stats for the game overall - be good if they were more readily available.
Just ignore that lad. He has a hard-on for my posts.
Quote from: AustinPowers on July 16, 2025, 04:51:49 PMWhat's these Black fellas all about?There's another Order called the Royal Arch Purple which you have to be in to get into the Royal Black Institution (the ones running about in aprons). They're basically Orangemen on steroids, their annual shindig is in Scarva on the 13th. Absolute weirdos the lot of them.
Do they have their own lodges?
Can one be an Orangeman and one of the black fellas?
Do they argue with each other about who marches where?
What about their initiation ceremony? Maybe they have to ride two goats?

Wonder is he eyeing up a managers post? Plenty going.
Quote from: Nanderson on July 16, 2025, 10:08:50 PMI heard this but also heard they were offered money the last time and didn't receive it or something along those lines. Surely the Parades Commission could have used a bit of common sense and restricted the parade from taking place until after the golf had wrapped up?Quote from: AustinPowers on July 16, 2025, 10:03:24 PMFrom what i've heard the organisers of the parade were offered a very sizeable sum of money to change date of their parade (I assume from Royal Portrush) and they turned it down.QuoteThe final round of the Open in Portrush on Sunday starting half an hour or so earlier so as to not clash with a band parade in the town in the evening.Could they just not have turned down the request/plan for the march? I'm assuming there's some sort of paperwork involved?
They seriously need to catch themselves on, knuckle draggers from a bygone era. The area has the chance again to promote itself to the world, don't need this as people are leaving the course.
jesus, the area is going to rake it in over the coming days , and they want it wrapped up early to have a parade.
Is it an attempt to show the golfing foreigners a bit of unionist kulture before they go home?
