The O'Neill cup now guaranteed to head back West where it belongs and all the East Tyrone pretenders are back in their boxes!

Classy post. Coalisland unlucky to lose their title after a great game of football played in the right spirit.

What's blue and white and goes beep beep?
That coalisland bus reversing into the garage for another year.

Well done Trillick bit of football to watch in final.

Watching this on Tyrone TV, a number of points at ht.

1. Who is the Carmen mouthpiece on sideline? Hasn't stopped all fecking game.

2. That was an utter joke of a black card

3. Some bloody finish by young Canavan. Petey Harte's point at the end very impressive, too.

4. O'Neill Park is a an absolute dump. Has the ground changed in past 30 years? Plus the field is in brutal condition, terrible choice for a senior semi final.

That mouthpiece was their chairman. Dungannon was a disgrace of a venue for game. I'd say it's the worst pitch in Tyrone. Canavan and Harte were a joy to watch

Will ONeill Park hold up for 2 games today?

Hopefully tyrone gaa see sense and move it to athletic grounds

Tiffy very bullish in his interview after the Omagh game that lessons have been learned. Even breaking their own rules this year playing lads who went to America shows there is a massive push on.

Breaking no rules their it's the first time any players have ever went to america over summer before championship. It's only ever happened previously when put out early in championship, when it was played in may June time. Every other club has done it for years so I agree lads shouldn't have to put life on hold for the state of club football in tyrone.

I was at that particular game and I have to say that this charge is an absolute disgrace!

The U15's were playing Down in the Semi Final and the Referee (a Derry man) let the Down players kick, punch and harass the Tyrone players the entire game. He did nothing to try and cut it out.

Parents, Management and supporters (including Horse) were pleading and shouting at the Referee asking him to do something and take control of the game. Out of about 80-100 supporters standing beside the pitch in Garvaghey, the Referee singled out Horse and decided to send him off (even though he was outside the perimeter of the pitch??).

As far as I'm concerned that Referee should never be let near a football pitch again. Horse wasn't over the top and certainly no more so than all the other people standing around him.

Glen man I was at the same game and this was definitely not what unfolded. Tyrone were a disgrace led by that inept idiot roaring expletives from the sideline

Gavin Devlin banned for 24 weeks for an incident in a Tyrone under 15 game.

And this is the clown in charge of youth development in tyrone

[first ever outside man]

MH sold his soul, first ever outside man in Tyrone senior.
Slippy slope now.

He's not even the first outside man appointed in the last week. Peter Donnelly was replaced by Jonny Davis.

The reality is the next tyrone manager will be a outside man so get used to it

Any word if tonights match is on Tyrone TV? Also find it strange that sunday's semi finals are being held in venues which do not accomodate Tv streaming.  Perhaps ££ figures are greater this season where it is not being streamed as it forces people to go to the game itself. I had this suspicion once the announcement was made at the start of the championship

They should be putting as many games on as possible on Tyrone TV, even if they are taking less money in, at the end of the day its gaining more coverage in the long run and its promoting the games in the County which in the long run also will lead to more corn for them!!

Healy Park, being the premier county ground, has been long fitted out for press facilities, not to mention a permenant platform for the main camera covering games in action. I'm not sure what IP facilities are available there, but I'd presume that the press box has at least ethernet connections available, probably WiFi too. Such facilities are almost certainly delivered by FTTC though given the roll out of FTTP by Openreach at present to towns and cities across d'North, Healy Park may be able to take advantage of that shortly too. Even if a journalist, photographer etc. can't get on Healy Park's internal Internet network, it's fortunate that the NI Water offices lie almost next door with its communications tower having 4G data coverage from all four networks on it.

Beyond Healy Park it can be a bit of a mixed bag. Potential Internet facilities at some grounds in Tyrone using landline might not be able to deliver an acceptable bandwidth to allow for good quality HD video streaming to a remote server. I'm thinking in particular of the quite rural grounds that are a good distance from a VDSL2 cabinet.

Using 4G data is a possible option though it can be fraught with issues, especially if they're fighting for bandwidth next to hundreds or even thousands of those in attendance! All four UK networks now offer unlimited data packages on contract for personal customers - however someone like the Tyrone County Board would likely need a business data package that has a service level agreement for priority service during peak usage times to minimise the chances of their live feeds being buffered. Loads of journalists use 4G set ups to deliver live "on-the-scene" reporting to TV channels and have done now successfully for several years, so the technology is proven. However I'm not sure that any one particular mobile network is available at every GAA ground in Tyrone, I think the county board has been trying this live coverage over 4G out already by using it for radio commentary for some games (in Fintona at least) and by the sounds of it, the problems are less to do with the links back to the remote server and more to do with the audio setup on the night! Teamtalkmag I'm sure have something very similar, but they've been doing it for years now (even when 4G didn't exist!) and they know the routine.

It would certainly be great if the PPV Tyrone GAA TV could be taken on the road, but one other consideration that would need to be taken into account is camera & microphone placement - you want a clear platform for the main camera, while you would also want to insure that the sound set up was both clear and not easy to be hijacked by those in attendance! In this case, the County board could do worse than to design plans for video & sound in advance at grounds most likely to host championship matches so that on match days temporary platforms and set ups can be quickly & easily deployed.

Christ Eugene you give us alot of useless information.

Martin Sludden typifies the so called top referees in this county...Carrickmore will be glad to see the back off him i would say....

what was wrong? apart from where he should've played advantage when morgan gave away the fist past for the goal chance, he was very good throughout

Apart from costing Carrickmore the game I suppose nothing!!!!....Championship games won and lost on fine margins he yet again made the wrong call... it's no secret he hates Carrickmore so he like some other refs are biased before they start!!!

Their will be no moaning about the ref tonight from carmen!!! Edendork will be the ones aggrieved

Omagh v Clonoe reserve semi final on before the senior semi final on Sunday in Dungannon by the looks of it.

Christ that means the pitch will be in awful shape.. How o'Neil park gets big games is a mystery.. you think they would of did something with their pitch.. easily worst pitch in tyrone throw in they have a few black hole pot holes up the lane to pitch.

We competed well with Trillick yesterday just did not have the pace in the middle sector of the field and it really cost big time...We where very unfortunate to concede first goal that took a cruel deflection... On 60mins only difference was the deflected goal....

Trillick are comfortable with possession of the ball, but they did not look as good yesterday as they did v Dromore (obviously)..They really would have to improve to beat Coalisland..

Clonoe looked a tired team towards the last 10 mins. Some of the balls his into McNulty were extremely poor quality for a man who was causing no end of trouble - all the talk of him maybe in the county thread prior, I had dismissed him also, he looked every part the full package yesterday especially in the first half.

Skeet and Dan always looked dangerous when the ball went in. The problem was getting the ball to get it in.

Getting the ball in was the problem yeah.... we put a serious shift in defending and it cost going forward and a bit of old age on top of that..... But in all honesty with 10mins to go we never looked like we would win with out hitting the net...Strange decision taking Stevie McNulty off imo.....

I thought that not giving young mc cabe more time was a strange one too. Came on in injury time what's he suppose to do then.. good footballer. Mc Nulty is a man mountain pity he had alot of injuries in recent years. Could of been the answer to alot of problems with tyrone

still only 24

Well I for one hope he gets back to full fitness and gets in that squad. He stood out over the weekend as one of the top forwards

On a side note, that is some panel Coalisland have, I counted 21 subs at half time.

Coalisland do well to just keep to two senior teams. They could probably field a 3rds team.

Could they enter a 3rd team into the junior division ala Ballygawley and surrounding clubs?

I'm lost does surrounding clubs enter a third team aswell.

Trillick and coalisland will be some game next week. Match ups will be key.. Both play the same 14 behind ball most of the time and counter at speed when turnover happens.. what's the story in trillick is seany not manager anymore as I see donnelly is doing alot along line.. seems harsh
