Would the simple answer to better football not be to go 13 a side
Spare a thought for all the club forwards in Tyrone. At the minute they are all vying to 2 spots on the county team. Reduce football to 13 aside and they could become truely extinct!

Id say ure joking numb nuts. You would def have more space to kick the ball into. It would help reserve football as well as a majority of teams struggle as the season goes on to fulfil fixtures. reserve football in tyrone is already 13 aside in div 2/3 if the teams are struggling for numbers.

There are some exceptions but a lot of the time rte only show highlights of games that have been on Setanta or tg4 at the weekend and don't bother with the league. So I don't think them not sending cameras was anything to do with Harte but more there indifference to the gaa from October to May.
Positives and negatives from yesterday. Thought we put in a really good first half and worked hard and as a team throughout. We did run totally out of steam with 15 to go. The game plan on that omagh pitch obviously had a big impact. It is only match and no one would want to team to peak yet so hopefully there will be a bit more in the tank come championship.
The two areas that require most work are scoring and breaking ball. We're missing to many frees and dropping to many short from open play. We really need cavanagh Donnelly and Harte go start getting more on the score board. Mcaliskey was excellent in the first half yesterday but doesn't have the engine for the current game plan. He either needs to be excused of tracking back so far out the pitch or used as an impact sub with 30 to go.
Breaking ball from kickouts has to be a priority and has been an issue for at least 3 years. We aren't getting in positions to win breaking ball. Teams push up on our kickouts and we end up kicking to an isolated player with 3 or 4 opposition around them. We need to get back to basics and get more men around the ball.
Overall plenty to work on but I do think we're going to right road and our a lot further ahead with a settled team and plan.

The issue isn't the handpass which is why I'd be slow to support restricting it (though it may prove to be the only workable solution) but the fact we've cottoned on to how you can stifle teams better than you. I am a bit concerned for the game at this stage. For the first time ever, I'm not particularly looking forward to the championship, the Ulster championship will most likely be all but unwatchable and with the possible exception of Connacht there's little else to get enthused about.
If teams, like Tyrone and Donegal, drop 15 men into their own 45 then their opponents have no option but to keep men back and we will witness versions of the infamous Dublin Donegal semi right throughout the summer. The depressing thing though is that this system has been found out and all it will result in is brutal games but with the result for the inferior team most likely the same.
I actually think both hurling and football have regressed as spectator sports, football because teams are playing turgid defensive tactics and hurling because the ball is too light and scoring is now childs play for any half competent hurler, Corks 36 odd points against Dublin last week was a joke.

Shows the importance of a good jockey.if ruby was on conti he prob would have dot him in the
first 4. Noel feilly is rubbish.amazing the amount of horses that led from the front in big races and won. Gold cup,champ hurdle world hurdle
Indeed.
There are a lot of poor jockeys plying their trade at a fairly high level in the UK. Fehily is certainly not one of them.
