[Footballer of the Year Nominees]

Footballer of the Year Nominees
Stephen Cluxton (Dublin)
James McCarthy (Dublin)
Andy Moran (Mayo)
David Clarke (Mayo)

Have two goalies ever been nominated before?

Two names taken from the Sunday Game panel and two tokens.
Though I do think Andy Moran is an easy choice

As the All Star team can only have one GK, does this mean one of the POTY nominees will not receive an All Star.
Must be the first time that has happened.

Laughable really these 'blues' celebrating your big wins, like a pack from south Belfast bitter is the word springs to mind..for all your victories what have you got to show for it this last ten years besides your ladies championship win last year..compared!! reserve championship inc.  13' your supporters left with 15 to go second half.. also your league final loss against ourselves as well the year before (the 1 that that you should have won) my conclusion is - I suppose small victories are better than none

Well what we have to show in the last 10 year years includes a senior champiosnhip (2010) - Remember? That is the one we beat you boys in the first round and you all left 15 minutes to go

Of course we are going to celebrate these victories. What else are you supposed to do? I sense some jealousy from TopOfTheRight. I only wish Damian Cassidy didn't miss this one.

I see the Derry job is vacant at the moment. Wonder will he go for it again? He knows Clonoe will take him back with open arms and a big bag of money if it doesn't work out again.

Not trying to wind up but any reason Damian Cassidy was not at the Clonoe Coalisland game yesterday?

Holidays i think...

I'd say Cassidy goes on nice holidays!!!!!

I wonder does he get holiday pay?  Or is he on a weekly rate? Strange time to go on Holiday with this being his biggest league fixture.

Aye probably does alright. What way do you boys work it with McKeever?

He does it for the love of the game

I will not comment on the posts before this.
All I know is clonoe have not beat coalisland in 6 years now. Must hurt.

Not sure if this was mentioned ... but what's with tyrones attire heading to games , is this a new 'beard thing' ?

They started this last year - seems a bit weird alright but I suppose if Cuba are going to pay you to wear their stuff.

Morgan took serious time taking his kick outs on Sunday. Nothing was rushed. Tyrone also mixed their tactics much more.

The tactics were definately different. The confusing thing for me is how did that make us much more lethal in front of the posts. Had we more time and space? Didn't seem like it. Where we more confident? Perhaps.

He only took his time after Tyrone got on top. In most of the first half, they where out within 5-6 seconds and resulted in the first goal chance for Sean Cavanagh. If you watch the game back, the replays where still showing while Morgan had the ball already in play. He had no reason to rush them once the game was in their hands.
All in all, his kickouts where impressive on the day.

Do you not see me on my high perch, face dry, absent of tears. I condemn both clubs, particularly Clonoe in this instance. Not Just or man enough to stop non-players entering the field of play but willing to punch unconscious men in the head. The County's Justice would suggest they should have had two men suspended and their field closed for a period of time, a month say. 300 Euro fine wouldn't even cover two training sessions for their paid manager. This reaks of corruption.

i dont disagree with you.....

When was the last time a Club team got their field closed??

Coalisland had their pitch closed in the not so distance past after a small melee with Moortown on their pitch (Correct me if I am wrong as the memory is hazy)
All home games the following year where played away.
Donaghmore gave us the gate at our game with them so kudos to them.
I believe we then gave them the points.

I reckon big Joe could full forward for the Derry match. We should play a 4 man FF line to confuse them.

Fuzzman at it again. They will really not see this coming now!

[Coalisland]

Some early predictions for the senior championship

Senior QF draw

Coalisland/Galbally vs. Strabane/Trillick
Coalisland to win QF

Clonoe/Dromore vs. Pomeroy/Killyclogher
Dromore to win QF

Urney/Errigal vs. Carrickmore/Edendork
Errigal to win QF

Donaghmore/Greencastle vs. Omagh/Ardboe
Omagh to win QF

That leaves the following for the semis:
Coalisland
Dromore
Errigal
Omagh

No talk on here regarding tomorrow nights championship draws!!  Looking forward to a few good draws hopefully

Coalisland V Clonoe again hopefully

How good is this David Mulgrew fella? I saw him for the first time last Sat night against the Dubs and he's a lot bigger than I was expecting.

Is he mainly a wing forward? Who would you compare him to?

He's deadly. He makes the u21s tick at centre half forward. He can play anyehere, but wing back or wing forward are probably his best positions. He's exceptionally good on the ball and very athletic. Not unlike Dooher in his hay day, but probably more skillful.

right lets get this straight - you say he is deadly (and I do agree) but you also claim his best position is wing back or wing forward but he does not play for the U21's in either of these positions. Surely at this grade his best position is central ie; CHF where he can control and dictate the game. He has filled out and bulked up big time in the last 18 months but the step up to senior will be the acid test and I think he should concentrate on developing as a CHF type player.
I hope he does it, he is a naturally gifted player but we have loads of those type of player who can play anywhere from 5-12 in the wing positions. It is from 13-15 that is our problem.....if he can add scores to his game then he could even secure a place in the FFL.

He's CHF for u21s cos that's where they need him most. His best position, which is usually judged at senior level, is one if the wing positions where he has space to ball carry. He is an excellent ball carrier, he has pace and balance and can pass and score. A serious prospect.

This RedHandTom fella is either on this U21 team himself or has a son/relation on it. I have never seen such a Tyrone u21 fanatic in my life.
Hope ye have a good season!

Paddy is coming home good luck to a gentleman of the gaa world.

Coming home? Did Omagh give him a house in his previous deal with them?

Appointment made in Omagh from what I hear. No need to worry anymore EastTyrone

I am glad of that. Apparently two Coalisland men where contacted but only rumours i'm sure.
Who got the job then? I would say Paul Rouse, but I think he is with someone else this year.....again.
