A pedestrian was killed so getting the players in probably wasn't their no.1 priority in fairness.

Come to think of it, did Lorcan Quinn ever get a minute for Tyrone while on the panel, and how long was he on the panel, anyone from Donaghmore able to confirm? Was definitely there in 2021 - did he seriously just train and sit on the bench for every game for 3 and a half years, while also being unable to play for club?

It's June in 2 weeks ffs. Why was it even left this late to begin with? Derry have their 6th found of club fixtures this weekend and have played more county games than us this year!

Don't be ridiculous. The May start has been the best thing Tyrone GAA have done in the last decade. The season has ran brilliantly the last two years with the Friday games and the May start date. League played through the best months of the year. Unfortunate change for Senior clubs having to wait an extra week this year but give me the current structure and calendar over a March/April start and lengthy gaps throughout the season.

Aye agree on the Friday nights, but last year club football went on to October, with training from January. So it's still taking up the most of the year.

Each club to their own regarding their own preparation during pre-season. For majority the season ends with Championship. League finished very start of September. The Play-Off system is what you are questioning regarding club football still going in October. The League format as it sits at the minute May, June, July, August - thats when you want to be playing football and Tyrone leagues provide weekly football during these months. Long may that continue.

Sorry not having that the police need a bit of sense too. The poor guy is just trying to get to the tournament, he has an early tee off time. The police should have quickly made some arrangements for the players etc to get in FFS. I guess with his new beard he looks like a terrorist so that makes it ok

[The fixtures definitely were redone when those Clonoe players left]

Games could have still started next week. Round 3 had Donaghmore and Eglish playing each other. Why not make that the first round and redraw the remaining fixtures if that is the approach they are going with.

I also don't understand why it is such an issue this year that fixtures have to be redrawn. Cormac Munroe left the Tyrone panel last year once the league had started. There are probably others from last year as well which I can't remember as well. I can remember Clonoe once had 3 players leave the panel and there wasn't redraw of fixtures - so why is it a big issue this year?

The fixtures definitely were redone when those Clonoe players left

Maybe the best thing going forward is just leaving publishing fixtures until a week or so before the start date?

That is incorrect. Clonoe played round 1, took quite a beating, McAliskey, McNulty and McClure left the panel that week and played in ACL Round 2. It was the season of the 7 or 8 starred games. Fixtures were not redone in 2021.

Scheffler arrested outside the course this morning - that's one way to stop him from winning

Cuffing people for driving on an extra 20 meters

He's lucky he didnt have a broken tail light, that allows the cops to stick the knee in the neck

Not sticking up for the Polis here, but somethings are well understood - not f**king around at the scene of an accident is one of them. Can only imagine that tensions were running high given there's some kind of accident that has led to an hour delay.

very quiet on this thread. How are we seeing mayo and Cavan for Saturday? Could be a banana skin for Mayo. Coming off a loss, and Cavan are decent even without Lynch and would match up well across the field in a lot of places. Could be a tight one

The draw will throw up some games, as a neural who can't comment   Two teams getting out of their groups handy enough, the rest will be a toss of a coin
