Might get shouted at for starting a new thread but thought it deserved one. The game is down for 7pm Saturday night in Armagh. Will be very interesting and no doubt both teams will be up for it. Looking forward to it now after a better Tyrone showing yesterday. Hope the likes of Cavanagh and O'Neill can build on yesterday. Wonder will Harte give the likes of McNeice and McNally time. Coney could be back in contention to.
Derry seemed to be flying until yesterday. Was it a one off or a sign of things to come?
Hopefully the latter
After the weekend, this game is very hard to call. Tyrone with a good win on the road and Derry's capitulation agin Laois. Derry by the narrowest of margins
Is it on the tele?
Tyrone missing a number of players for this weekends game. Big Sean and Colly are carrying knocks but should come through.
Marty Swift, Carlin and Markie D have a stag. Eda is out for 6 weeks.

Are the McMahons fit? It must be an important stag if these boys have a weekend off??
Its Dermy Carlin's stag do.
Also this was suppose to be a free weekend so it was all booked.
Also, a weekend off its an amateur sport. They can have weekends 'off' as and when required. :P

Somewhere in around the middle I'd imagine. Frank? Des? Fran? Where they playing? On the fruit machine in Scully's most likely!
Yerrrrrrrooooooo!!!!!!
Scullys! lol
Those boys are pround club men - think a couple mentioned there could of played for tyrone if desire and circumstances where there. However they'd die for club badge on their chest unlike your two cavanagh superstars! They seem to go missing alot when on duty for the moan or the moy i mean - I have to say though jordan and mellon would be good club men! IMO

Meh! Did alright against the tones in the opening game last year and consequently consigned the tones to the intermediate! ;D ;D ;D Poetic justice could one say????
Although id say with the way the league fixtures has panned out your club will be back before long. 8) 8) 8)
Is there still no team named?
Is this game on telly or just local radio?
Hope it's the last time the teams meet this year.

The main positive of the athletic grounds is that no matter where you are in the ground you have a good view of the game. Also you are very close to the actual play which is also decent.

If it's a crooked stand you're looking for, it's hard to beat.
Is it not the pitch that is on a slant or is it both?
Was out walking the dog, saw the floodlights in the Athletic Grounds, so decided to amble in. A few thoughts on the game.
1. Derry supporter seemed to be outnumbered about 4324 - 1.
2. Tyrone lined out for the throw-in with seven backs and five forwards, Derry going for the traditional six of each approach.
2. Lot of off the ball nonsense before the ball was thrown in, particularly involving John Cavanagh and Owen Mulligan and their respective markers who I didn't recognise (#s 4 and 7). How only the number 7 was booked, I don't know.
3. It may have been the referee introducing his policy (which he maintained throughout the game) of booking Derry men for indiscretions, but not booking Tyrone men for identical fouls.
4. I hope the same referee isn't down for the Antrim - Tyrone league match as he seemed in awe of the big names on the Tyrone team.
5. Kavanagh does a good impression of Christ the Redeemer when he feels he has been wronged by officialdom (Cavanagh that is, not the statue).
6. Bradley looked sharp, but I thought Harte was unnecessarily harsh with his early changes in the full back line.
7. The languid Muldoon still has a touch of class, finishing his goal well, hitting a massive point towards the end and generally pulling Derry out of a biggish hole round the middle of the field.
8. Which is a bit concerning for Derry given that he is nearly 40.
9. Despite the intricacies of the short passing game, 75% of the goals came from high balls dropped in and around the square.
10. A strange guttural noise enveloped the Athletic Grounds at stages of the second half. It sounded like "Ty-rone, Ty-rone".
11. Grown men appeared to be making the sound.
12. It had died out by the final whistle.
13. It was unedifying to see a former All-Star trying to lift the grievously injured James Conway back to his feet moments before he was carried off on a stretcher. A despicable action.
14. Same boy seemed to spend his whole time trying to rile the opposition into retaliating and getting themselves sent off, for example booting the ball against a prostrate player after a free had been awarded to the Derryman (who I didn't recognise).
15. And giving the referee back chat and kicking the ball into the crowd when he was penalised (wrongly in my opinion) for picking the ball of the ground.
15. How Brian McGuigan didn't get a straight red for what looked like a clear dig to the midriff is something only the officials know.
16. It would have been his second in under a month.
17. Good to see the McMahons and Stevie O'Neill all introduced in the second half.
18. Derry red card seemed clear cut, although everyone in the ground knew exactly what was going to happen three seconds before it did.
19. It was a sort of deja vu thing.
20. It was an entertaining game for the neutral.
21. Athletic Grounds looked quite impressive, but ball stops could have been deployed directly behind the goals.
22. The dog wasn't overly keen on the game though.
This man must read a lot of Paddy Heaneys stuff, very similar sense of humour. Well done sir...
Is point 16 correct? Can't remember him being sent off before this year, Gormley and C Cavanagh have seen red in Sligo and Donegal (McKenna cup) respectively.

Is point 16 correct? Can't remember him being sent off before this year, Gormley and C Cavanagh have seen red in Sligo and Donegal (McKenna cup) respectively.
Agree with point 5 though, thon carry on is embarrassing.
What big sean complaining to the ref!!!! Well i've heard it all now - never seen him at that! lol ;D ;D
Scored 1-5, Christ I think that is two weeks in a row. And there were some on here that were retiring him not so long ago. Ah well, if he scores 1-5 in every game then I'd accept a bit of verbals to the ref!!!!
Yerrrrrroooooo!!!!
Radda bout ye, how did Fran, Frank and Des get on-did they win the jackpot??? ;D ;D ;D
Don't start on me i was just agreeing with saffron and omagh gael that big sean does alot of yappin - i really shouldn't have bothered stating the obvious considering he's from Moy!!! Sorry!!!
For once....... I agree!
But would you rather him or someone who registers 0-00 and shows no emotion?
ohhh SC is tyrones best player when he's on song and his head is right but its not great to watch him run about like a spoilt brat at times. But your right if he keeps scoring 1-5 a game i could let it go but i reckon his overall attitude could improve which would help tyrones campaign this year and the most important thing to sean - his image!
I Feel its Time to Give the Young players the chance to impress as much as it pains me to say itConor Gormely and Enda McGinleys days as the first names on the team sheet are over im not saying get rid of them but we have been exposed in recent years with our lack of pace in Croke Park and to have to watch it all over again this season is hard to bare.
Personally id Call up Mattie Donnelly and Ciaran McGinley. both Players have been consistantly good players for their clubs over the past 24 months and have had a vital role in UUJ securing a Sigerson Final birth. I also believe that our Midfield is not good enough we havent anybody like Brian Dooher who will put his body on the line to win that vital breaking ball.
I Feel our Defence is exposed way too easy we have conceded way too much in the McKenna Cup and league so far and i feel its our only last hope that to Put Both McMahons in the defence to boost it up a bit and also Wait on Phillip Jordan.
Plus i feel that Tyrone arent nowhere near fit, there trainers must take some of the blame.
they should book a week of work and be sent to milatary training camp down in Dublin to move them on a bit fitness wise before we end up relegated.
I know Ciaran McGinley is out of position he normally plays half back or half forward but hes the only man that has raw speed that be good enough technically to deal with the fastest forwards about.

Tell me your not serious about the week off work? Amateur games played by exceptional athletes but still they are amateurs. Is Mickey Hartes philosophy not "you need to be fit to come to training, not come to training to get fit"

Was out walking the dog, saw the floodlights in the Athletic Grounds, so decided to amble in. A few thoughts on the game.
1. Derry supporter seemed to be outnumbered about 4324 - 1.
...
22. The dog wasn't overly keen on the game though.
Well, for those 'neutral' observations, I hope we hammer the shite of you on Saturday evening! ;D

This neutral certainly enjoyed the game. I reckon what you hope happens will happen.
I know I have got stick for defending my club man on here but I am going to do it again
1. Anyone who complains about Conor Gormley being to slow and yet pick Davy in front of him really is deluded!
2. Ask Justy, which I have, about the vaue of Gormley playing in front of him. They have an understanding that keeps both right
3. Anyone who thinks Gormley has no fitness left in him, try and gets your hands on a copy of the semi final between Carrickmore and Omagh last year to see him blow away supposed fliers in injury time!
4. Anyone who details Ciaran McGinley to a marking job really is away with it
5. Its bloody March lads. Catch a grip!

Wee Roddy, spot on. There is no shame in defending your clubmen. They are the guys you grew up alongside or grew up supervising. To not defend them would be a more henious crime. For those who sit back and criticise/pick fault-they obviously have no county representatives in their club or have no affiliation with a club at all.
And
Ciaran McGinley, undoubtably talented but how can i say this.....would not be great for morale. ;) ;) ;)
the side has been in decline since 09 we were badly exposed against Cork in Croke Park. Ive been Conor Gormleys biggest fan has stiffled the best forwards in Ireland the past 7 or 8 seasons and will always go down as probabaly go down as one of the best defenders that has eer pulled on the jersey.
Conor Gormley might be best suited to midfield role at this stage ofhis career, ive sat and waited on this Tyrone side to get back on track for a couple of years now, the underperforming all Ireland winners are repeatably been allowed to rest on their laurels and are getting away with it. you's all said the same last season"that Tyrone wont be relegated" "its impossble that Tyrone team will go dwn. well frankly it did. and deserved to go down. Iv been at every game McKenna Cup and league this season and im far from impressed.
we were down right lucky to get out of enniskillen with a win against an ordinary div 4 side, Only for a horrible decision sending off Neil Magee in edendork(which was overturned days later) we would never have beaten Donegal, as for the perfromance against Cavan it beggars belief how a clueless forward line of theirs caused us so much trouble.
Derry rightly beat us first time out in the league much better than their one point win suggests as we were out of the game for long long periods before been destroyed by Donegal live on TV accross the world with many Red hand supporters raising the question are we going to waste another year with the players who are no longer at the level requied to take Tyrone back to the top 2/3 level they were at for a long long time through the so called golden years.

Does anyone else get the feeling they know who this poster really is! :D
think what you want i dont know the fella you think im on about personally but from what i hear he is full of himself.
im only judging by what ive seen on the football pitch and hes been one of Errigal Ciarans best players the past few seaons and ive seen him in the mckenna cupand the sigerson cup and its remarkable how him and mattie Donnelly arent involved with Tyrone or maybe they will be now that their Sigerson campaign is over.
We dont have RAW PACE with somebody who can actualy play football. i thought PJ Quinn would have cemented his place in the side by now but he been badly exposed recently and if anything hes probabaly went backroads since e first came on the scene.
Damian McCaul is just getting back from two serious knee injuries and hes the best of a very inconsistant bunch of defenders.
Shurely you Tyrone supporters should be very happy with what these players have delivered over a 10 year period. It is not possible for amateur players to give any more, they have been fantastic but it can't go on for ever

we are happy surely, over the moon but we will be soon seen as a team of the past unless we start to be more ruthless. disappointing to see the decline so quickly after the successful underage sides that have been produced and none of them been brought through cause of the faith shown in underperforming All Ireland winners the past two seasons
I dont think successfull underage teams necessarily make succesful senior players.
There is a big difference in the two and I think this should be remembered too. I'm no fan of Tyrone, but given the tactician that Harte is and the results he's delivered to Tyrone I'd say he's probably better placed to pick the players that are capable of senior football than most in Tyrone. So perhaps its the case that there are not the glut of good senior players coming through that you would have expected on the back of underage success, as they are not senior standard.
