Can a player who was sent off on a straight red in a senior game play for the reserves in the next round of fixtures? i.e. Only suspended from senior game?

league games - yes

Who gives a shite if they are wearing an O'Neills polo top or a shirt from cuba?

Are clubs still asked to name 12 players? I know it used to happen but I haven't heard much discussion around that.

Were these 12 players not allowed to play Reserve Championship, or any reserve games including league?

And to add to my confusion Derry have been drawn at home to Waterford but must play away at Fraher Field.

If two teams are pulled out to play each other and one has played at home in the championship and one has played away then the team that hasn't played at home yet will be given home advantage for the qualifier game.

if both team have played at home/away - the team that was pulled out first will get home advantage.

Eg - Derry were pulled out first, then Waterford. However in their previous championship games Derry were at home to Tyrone and Waterford were away to Cork. Meaning Waterford now have home advantage.

And as a Derry man I now have 10hours of driving ahead of me to watch the match 

Thanks for that Toby.  Antrim have just had a horrendous run of luck then over the last number of years having only had one home draw in Ulster Championship since 2010 and regularly drawing teams in qualifiers away that are eligible for a home tie in said qualifier.

One home draw in 7 years is horrible luck.

You'd also imagine with the home advantage system in the Qualifiers you would have had a few more home games however it doesn't always work like that.

"Cathal McCarron is in a race against time to be fit for Tyrone's Ulster SFC opener against Derry.

The experienced defender sustained a hamstring injury during an in-house game at Garvaghey last week and was unavailable to his club, Dromore, for their clash with Carrickmore over the weekend.

McCarron's clubmate Niall Sludden was also rested at the weekend but is expected to be fully fit for the provincial quarter-final at Celtic Park on May 28th.."

Disappointing to hear about Munroe (If it's true) but maybe the young lad just thought there is a lot of competition for where he plays and with McGeary and Burns now maybe ahead of him he thought he would be better of playing club football for a year or two first, in the way Sludden & Mattie did.

Do people see young Mulgrew ahead of Lee Brennan now at this stage?
Are Tyrone favourites for Ulster this year again or what way are the odds?

Tyrone         11/8
Donegal       4/1
Monaghan    11/2
Cavan          8/1
Armagh        12/1
Derry           20/1
Down           22/1
Fermanagh   66/1
Antrim         150/1

Saw a video of Danny McNulty kicking a 65 yard free kick off the ground for Clonoe yesterday. Looks to be exactly what Tyrone are crying out for

You see a guy kicking 1 free over the bar and this is what tyrone are missing ? Where is the substance behind this Toby47 ?

do you actually watch any football seanmc123 or are you fixated on following mickey hartes cult? ur dismissal of players just because mickey doesnt have them on the panel is sickening

Danny McNulty got his chance with Tyrone didnt take it. Carrying to much weight and not sharp enough for county football. Im afraid a lot of people will tell you  !

He got one game v Antrim was dropped the next week not developed nor did our glourious managemnet try to develope him as he would not fit into the defensive system.... which suits us fine garvaghy regeme could ruin a natural forward if they had him long enough....

Get your head out of the sand, the best forwards in the county are on the county panel. Same goes for people saying Lee brennan is the answer and when Lee does get a shout and doesn't cut it you will move onto someone else.

The best men are playing and on the panel, waken up sunshine and smell the roses

Lee Brennan is on the panel, and your saying he's not good enough. But then you say the best forwards are on the panel?

Make your mind up. Any supporter writing off a very promising 20/21 year old is complete poison.

That's a pity. He was a great prospect. I remember him destroying cathal mc carron in a county final a few years ago when cathal was in his prime

In the 2013 county final he scored 1-3, and I remember him winning a ball and laying it off to PJ Lavery (I think) for another goal in the same game. Caused Carrickmore all sorts of problems. Then kicked 0-4 vs Ballinderry in the first round of ulster. Ballinderry went on to win ulster.

He has definitely deserved a chance with Tyrone. and by a chance I don't mean one McKenna cup game

Lol.

I can assure you I have saw McNulty do a lot more than kick one free kick for Clonoe. Saw Him dozens of times, for Clonoe (both underage and seniors) Tyrone (Minors and u21's) and also a championship match for UUJ Freshers a few years back. and I can also make the judgement that he is good enough to be on the senior county panel.

You will likely be the same boy yapping you balls off when Tyrone bring Morgan up to miss a 55meter free this summer.

Danny was on the Tyrone panel 2014 played v Antrim in McKenna cup slipped a disc in his back in that game....was dropped of the panel the next week, County board washed their hands of him and Clonoe had to foot the bill to fix him County Board where not willing to help out in any shape or form not even a phone call to ask how he was... that is 100% fact in what happened after insurance access cost us nearly £10,000 to get it all sorted...

So chances are we won't see him in a Tyrone Jersey again?

Do Killyclougher have no underage or have they been missed by accident?

TYRONE Allstar Mattie Donnelly has been given the medical all-clear to face Cavan in the Allianz League Division One this weekend – but his brother Richie faces a two-month lay-off after suffering a fractured bone in his back.
Richie Donnelly has been blighted by injury since last summer. The Trillick man tore his Achilles in Tyrone's Ulster semi-final draw with Cavan in June which ended his campaign with the county team.
The talented wing-forward hasn't featured for Tyrone in 2017 and it looks as though he could be sidelined for the remainder of the Allianz League.
"It's very unlucky for him because he's a dedicated athlete," said Tyrone boss Mickey Harte. "He puts in a lot of hard work and there's nowhere he'd rather be than out on the field with the rest of the team.
"It sounds something like a stress fracture there which he probably didn't recognise at first.
"But it's transpired that is the case and it's something he'll have to tend to before he can get back out on the football field."
There was, however, some good news coming from the Donnelly household as Mattie has recovered from concussion.

Mattie suffered the head injury in the opening minutes of Tyrone's Division One win over Roscommon on February 5 and had to sit out the Dublin game at Croke Park six days later.
"I expect Mattie to be available," confirmed Harte.
"He passed all the medical procedures within seven days but since our game [against Dublin] came short of the seven days we had to hold him back.
"He would have felt well enough to play but it wouldn't have been prudent to ask him to play. So we observed the medical protocol to make sure he was over that and he is now and is available."
The Tyrone medical staff had to take particular care with Mattie's injury as he'd suffered concussion last year.
"Any history of it happening, I suppose, that increases the risk factor...
"Sometimes you have to take decisions out of the hands of the players and if they feel okay to play then they don't see any reason why they shouldn't play. But it's the long-term risk of re-occurrence.
"His health is the most important and football comes a long way after it."

I know my club do it, and im also aware of two other clubs doing it so I'd say it's not that uncommon.

As someone above said its not put to the players 'we need £20 a month to pay this management lads' it's more a case of 'senior team costs a fortune to run lads, need everyone chipping in an affordable £20 a month to cover the cost of running the senior team eg physios, busses etc' but realistically it is going to paying management.

Personally I am also against it.
