On page 70 of todays Irish news Mickey Harte states"our players set out to be ready they set out to challenge everything, every ball." Now I wasn't in Killarney or seen much footage of the game but by going by what he has said, Tyrone players must have pressed on the Kerry kick out and every other sector on the pitch. Can someone clarify this or is Harte talking more spoof, bluster and bullshit??

You were not at the game, your not a true fan

f**k off back to the hole you crawled out off

how could you be a fan of that. I support Tyrone not Mickey Harte and the end is near. Some people just don't like to hear the truth ha ha.

No the buck stops with Mickey but he has delivered it all before. If what I'm hearing is correct the disastrous ultra defensive system is from the back room team. Are you not hearing that? I also would have grave concerns over the natural skill development of the development squads over the years. Questions need to be asked? What were they trying to identify and develop. Freetakers natural forwards, good man markers and midfielders. It is becoming that development was a misnomer. I presume the academy system is promoting different values and not creating robots.

there are 150 coaches and managers in Tyrone could do what Harte does if not better. The players it seems are frustrated, depressed and ultimately lacking inspiration. What Mickey Harte calls a talented footballer and what most people would call a talented footballer is open for debate. Player selection under him has been always erratic. Think back to the last time Tyrone beat Dublin in Croke park which was only a few years ago, Plunkett Kane scored three magnificent long range points. What happened to that player? There is far too much sentimental value attached to Harte in Tyrone. He should have went in 2010 when at the time you just knew it was the end of an era. Kerry and Dublin don't be long changing it up and have to say their backroom teams have an unbelievable wealth of experience compared to Mickey Hartes "jobs for the boys" policy.

Their is a reason the united states of America has a maximum presidential term for anyone in office. Eight years I believe and this is to negate dictatorial and corrupt practises'. Tyrone GAA would be advised to adopt such measures in future team managerial appointments.

lads do you think the players have jacked. no shows in a lot of places on sunday.if the sideline lose the dressing room surely it is the end?

yeh definitely think so mate. The lads have copped on that the bearded boy with the hat has nae clue what he's doing. Not to worry Mickeys next autograph will be on his resignation letter.

I was wondering after the game on Sunday does Harte sometimes change tactics a bit to show us how things can go wrong if we move away from the style we have been using.
What I mean is the last few games we've been hitting a lot more long balls into the FF line but it hasn't brought much joy. We also seem to not play so defensively on Sunday and so Kerry were tearing us apart in the first 20 mins and had a huge lead built up.

I'm just wondering does this give Harte now justification that we are better of to return to the game plan we've got used to and he will abandon using the FF line again.
He certainly has lowered expectations going into the championship as if we had went through the league unbeaten and went close to the Dubs in the final then we would be expecting to win Ulster again and do better than last year.

With the way Donegal and Monaghan have done so well in the league, I would not be so confident of retaining Ulster at the moment.

STG, do you think it was Harte that spoke to Brolly then? Maybe it was Kyle Coney or Shay McGuigan.  listen the problem is there are certain players like Peter Harte who cant play in any other system. It would leave them exposed to the opposition you see it even at club level for errigal Ciaran when Petey has to play midfield were picking up your man is less relevant. Where did Petey end up in the second half of the Ulster final last year once Ryan McHugh exposed him in the first half?Petey needs the protection of a massed defence. There s a cats chance in hell Mickey Harte will drop his nephew. That is the crux of the problem in Tyrone. People need to waken up!

how do you mean they got their chance? play an odd mc kenna cup game or come on for 10 mins here or there? in the same way someone on here said conal mc cann is finished for tyrone after gettin 35 mins in a walkover yesterday. ur gonna blame everything and anyone except harte and people like you are as much a part of the problem as mickey is.

its funny how over the years average players like mark Harte Davy Harte and the overrated Peter got every chance under the Sun. Not to mention a few of his neighbors like Aidan Mccrory? Niall McKenna never stood a chance because he is Eugenes son who Harte is so despicably jealous of from Eugene's playing days. That's what were dealing with here.

On an alternative note, have we any inside forwards worth their salt in the county that have the stature to make an impact at the top level?

Coney had the potential but had his chances and looks like he's not going to fulfill it. Don't know the ins and outs with McNulty but he surely has to be worth a shot?

The guys we have there - Brennan, Bradley, McCurry, O'Neill are all slight/small guys and when the opposition pack the defences with strong, physical and athletic players then these guys will struggle to make a mark inside.

Can anyone name me an inside forward in the country with the stature of those guys mentioned above who is currently one of the best in the country? The day of the speedy, skillful, small corner forward is not gone. Today it's about the big/strong guys who can their own ball and are deadly in front of the posts - guys like Geaney, McCarron, McManus, McBrearty, Murphy, Comer, Quinlavin etc. I don't think there is any point blaming Harte for the failure of the likes of McCurry, Brennan, O'Neill etc.

How do the anti-Harte experts propose we solve Harte's failings in tactics and selections? We're all ears, lads.
As someone who has wanted Harte out since 2010 I would make the point that tactics and team selection are always of importance but at this stage the players and supporters in general in Tyrone are suffering from mental fatigue with Harte who has been there nearly 16 years. Time to change this stinking nappy.

So you want Harte out for the sake of wanting him out?

Be specific, what would you like to see changed and how?

a mental fatigue has set in with Harte been there so long. Do you not get that? Lets get rid of the depression first as brolly says and take it from there. Certainly get rid of Mickeys favourites mcrory tiernan McCann. Lets get back to kicking the ball around a bit more and play closer to the opposition goal. Its not complicated.

Brolly does what he always does. Hears a rumour or picks up on controversial topic, adds his own 50% to sensationalise whatever point he's making and sit back and watch every sheep in the country debate his nonsense. Watching Tyrone fans point the finger at which player they think spoke to him wil have the bould Joe creaming his pants. At this stage we don't know if things are 100% in the Tyrone camp or not, but like I said before I most definitely won't be looking to Joe Brolly for evidence. I would have thought Joe would be more interested in hearing, and reporting on, what the Derry players are saying about whats happening in his shambles of a county set up, but that wouldn't get him as much attention, would it?

Benny 99% of Tyrone fans know there is something wrong. You on the other hand are in a constant state of denial even blaming poor aul Joe brolly for Tyrones ills.

well the truth is out there for all to see now. photo of mickey on hoganstand standin for pics with kids in kerry jerseys and a big smile on his face. man has no shame.

Former GAA president and judge at the Tralee lovely girls competition sean kelly got his picture taken with him too. Calling Harte a "GAA Great". Tell you what we l take Fitzmaurice and his backroom team and Kerry can have Mickey and his motley crew. That LL put the cute hoorism out of them lol

Interesting from Brolly.... probably true: http://www.hoganstand.com/Tyrone/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=268566&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Truly incredible but totally believable. When players like Matty Donnelly didn't bother contesting there red card v mayo you just know they are at a stage under the current drudge that they don't care. I must say Peter Harte celebrating scoring his first goal yesterday reminded me of his cousin Davy celebrate scoring his first half point in the 08 final. The thought process must be well look at me I scored a great score it doesn't really matter about anything else lol.

Like I say teaminamillion, you've a clear personal vendetta against Harte and are purposefully choosing to use an extremely distasteful and deeply insensitive way to make a point. You've gone far beyond anything decent and any argument you make is lost in the manner of your approach.

I just deal in facts omagh. As above. Three bad defeats in a row and only 4000 patrons turning up to Healy park every other weekend. You can't get lost in that my friend.

indeed Tyrone did get a tough time from RTE as regards the McCann incident. As a supporter I don't think I was ever as motivated going into that Kerry semi final. I really believe if Tyrone had have fronted up that day just like 03 we would have won that game. Instead what did we do? we sat back and let them Kerry bastards dictate the terms. 2015 will go down as an opportunity lost. Do we have the footballers in Tyrone to go toe to toe with Dublin or Kerry? Why the hell wouldn't we! Playing defensive football is telling your players they aren't good enough. Some of the players certainly aren't and they are the ones who should be dropped. What happened to total faith?

The media ban began in may 2011 after mickey objected to his friend Brian carthy being overlooked for a radio job. The insensitive radio sketch was in August 2011. Just google it.

ha ha thanks for that SouthTyronegael. Maybe were the same person lol
