[AND WHAT A BLOCK]

What a servant Petey Harte is.

I've been on here a while and boys have been calling him 'the nephew' and taking shots at him over the years but he has been so reliable.

He's done everything asked of him over the years and any position he's played he's played well (nearly them all at this stage) The only time he has been poor in games is when the opposition decide to target him but with more options now that's a thing of the past.

AND WHAT A BLOCK .... better than Gormleys and that takes some doing!

It was a great block, but to say that is was better than Gormelys is ridiculous and that isnt me having my Carrickmore cap on. Watch Gormleys again. The ground he made up was unreal, never mind the timing of the block

There was some game of football in the minor league final last night in Killyclogher.

Indeed +1

On a different note, I read Damian Casey, Tyrone's premier hurler giving the CB a trimming in Saturdays IN. The hurling county team haven't a manager in place yet, it is nothing short of a scandal for the CB, and to use Covid as an excuse is further example of the disrespect they pay Gaels. Do they think we are fools. Didn't take them long to sort the football management out, covid didn't feck that up. And to use it for the reason not to have a hurling manager, wtf. What is also alarming is that this is the first comment on this thread. These hurling clubs have been keeping the great small ball game alive  in Tyrone county, they could at least get some help from the officials who are charged with promoting the game. To say he has never used the main changing room in Garvaghey is unbelievable. Are Tyrone hurlers the Kilkenny version their football team. I never played the game but I just can't get over why they have to be so badly treated, why?

Mattie Lennon, according to Casey, has serious problems too with the county board.  He says that the previous administrstion was very good.

By the way, D. Casey is some hurler. Would walk on to any team in Ireland fantastic talent.]

No he would not. He is great at the frees and is decent but he wouldn't get near the Antrim team. He is telling one side of the story. There is a lot of politics going on here as the county chair is from Carrickmore, and they are Casey's club teams greatest rivals. What would be deemed a creditable hurling man in one players eyes, may be a bollix in another mans eyes. I have heard they are waiting on someone to come back to the mwho has a proven record at county level.

I hope Omagh are proud of themselves now. The 2020 minor championship will never be played now. There was a risk this was going to happen.

I agree. Granted he isnt the best player in the world on every occasion Tyrone have gone out but the great Jim Gavin has been willing to change things to nullify him as if that job is done Tyrone are very often beat.
If he wasn't Mickey's nephew this wouldn't be happening i suspect, but due to the inclusion of a lot of Errigal players who were not up to the required standard, people have chosen to blame Petey and it isnt his fault.

[Without Refs there would be no games, be thankful these "terrible" "awful" "clampits" bother at all. Wouldnt be the 1st time Dromore charged a ref at the end of a game either]

Any of you lads thought about taking up the whistle?

Ah the classic line used to absolve Referees of any mistakes/bad performances.

It was a genuine question. But if you want to take it that way work away.

But just to add being called 'truly terrible', 'just awful' and ' a compete clampit' does what for recruiting referees? And then when there are no referees for games the ones on this board will whinge and cry about there being no referees in the county. I genuinely don't know why anyone would be a referee with the crap they get on and off the pitch. What a way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

Note - Niall Sludden received a blow to the head during the first half and was concussed

Surely Dromore had a duty of care here not to put him back on then, poor on their part if this is true

This is the problem right here. Refs think it is about them, Campbell is the worst of them. Their job is to assist with the playing of the game, not seek as much attention as possible and make it about them. Eanetta did not blow it up when the ball was in the air from the last kickout i will never know. No one would have complained about it being 10 or 15 seconds early.

Carmen putting out rumours of a couple of major absentees due to dodgy hamstrings.

Not rumours. Its true. We are up against it tonight. Monroe is a massive loss

Including management and backroom team, and the fact that anyone who plays reserves is considered a senior panelist, Carmen have about 60 involved id say, underage coaches need one and commitees, not much left for the rest!

I was just saying the report was incorrect.

This report is incorrect. Ronan McGarrity didn't come of in that game infact he was very central to Tyrones running game in the 2nd half. I watched this game a fortnight ago.

I can not speak for Trillick but Loughmacrory were training individually or with siblings doing individual weight sessions or running. The weight sessions are still individual but the running has increased to smaller groups within the confines of guidelines. Is there a problem with this?

James Kerr, the father of the county chair Michael has passed away this morning at home after a long illness. It got me thinking again how tough it must be to bury one of your loved ones in these horrid times.

John Fogarty tweeting the GAA is to soon pull the plug on Club football taking place this year. County will likely follow.

This is part of the problem. Journalists and the like spout nonsense and people believe it.
Horan was speaking for the GAA last night and not himself. It was practical and everything he said made sense.

I would suggest that none of that full back line are worth a place in those positions. Moynahan for me at 6 instead of Keegan although James McCarthy would be unlucky to lose out to Tomas. Conor Gormley for me in anywhere in the full back line. He was Tyrone's go to man marker not Ricey (who was a brilliant player in his own respect). Johnny Cooper likewise would have to be in there and the third would be Tony Scullion. You could play any off them in anyone of the three positions.
The halfback line is a mine field to pick.

What are the odds on Darragh O'Se making it three brothers from Donnybrook with the media darlings the Brogans both getting on the forward line.

If you know it to be incorrect then do you know what's correct though? (That is not a dig I would genuinely be interested as my "source" wasn't the media)

I do know that people well over the age of 40 have been on them in Italy. I have an English cousin who lives in Genoa who is married to a nurse. I have no stats though, sorry.
