But we had the next best thing in today ( don't think Brennan should have started by the way) and it wasn't much of a benefit

Agree with that. Lee should have came on. Starting him automatically put pressure on him to deliver. Mc Caliskey played very well yesterday but again needs to settle himself down and maybe look for a better option. Get the ball to Lee in the scoring zone. Harte needs to get more scoring forwards into the panel. This will encourage competition for places.

We won't beat Dublin simply because we should have been playing this football 5 years ago. Decision making and shooting in the final third erratic. Harte has left it too late to putting more of emphasis on attack. Better late than never I suppose. Need to get Canavan s cub in there for next year.

Team as expected and rightly so. Conor McCalliskey and Peter Harte have to step it up from last week these two are the more experienced two along with the others who are do ing their bit Donnelly, Cavanagh, McCann, McNamee. I don't think some of these Monaghan players will have experienced or be ready for the intensity that an All Ireland semi final brings. Tyrone by 6-8 points. Come on!

Lol. SouthtyroneGael trying to claw back some respectability with a proper post after making a tit if himself. Funniest thing I have come across on this board

And when assessing it as a serious post, STG just can't avoid his anti Harte bias. Admittedly by some of the standards Skeet has set this year,  he has been quiet of late. However I'd be firmly of the belief that Harte was hugely influential in Ballybofey. Himself and a few others really stepped it up when a championship exit was looming large.

Idiots on here gonna continue to say myself and south Tyrone Gael are the same person? Do We know each other? Well that's a different question lol. Harte out then, now and next year.

Harte loyalists out in force this weather after beating Dublin and winning our fourth All Ireland! ... Oh wait a minute.. Firstly I don't give too F#cks if someone named me on here or not, I mean whats gonna happen? Anyway on to Harte. Firstly I was happy to see him get the job back in 02 because he did deserve it after all the underage success. Eugene Mckenna did bring Tyrone their first National title and was unfortunate for him not to stay but Mickey was the lucky one to get it. Never once up until 2010 did I question him in the job. After cork in 2009 I said we will give it one more year Mickey and then the job should be given to someone else. Of course Harte was never gonna walk away cos the Tyrone senior job is far too prestigious and this would be like handing over my beautiful girlfriend to another man. That's unfortunately the mentality we have to deal with since 2011 were power and control is all consuming. Sure enough Mickeys hung in there and may have the talent now to win another one. We will see.

No doubt the Harte bashers on here, who have called for Mickey to go and called for his head constantly.
These mouths will be the first in line looking for tickets for the Final (if we get there).
They will be the first down to Dublin for the final, the first game they  have attended in years.
Or maybe because they are so opposed to him and his style, tactics and play, then they will stay away - doubt it though.

Love Tyrone hate Harte. IL never give him credit. That ok princess?

Big Colm was unstoppable in the air today but let's just take a moment and reflect on the fact that our best forward since wee Peter has now arrived. All bow to Lee Brennan, the best of it is he didn't play in our performance against Dublin. With a great strength and conditioning coach in Peter Donnelly added to an excellent squad of talent it's time to genuinely believe the Dubs can be toppled. Any word on Meyler?

With the embarrassment that is Casement park I think it's time this great county seized the initiative and invested in an all seater stadium for the future. In the Advent of the super 8s it makes sense. The cost will be a lot but I think it is certainly doable over a long period of time.

Richie arguably a bigger loss than matty. The pendulum has swung back in favour of Donegal big time. A huge game for petie. Will they target him as bad as before?

If you were managing Donegal would you target him and Sludden??

That's the problem with Tyrone's one dimensional play, you shut down the big runners and it's a struggle. Of course Bonner will do his homework on it. Harte's obsession with keeping possession of the Ball and not hitting a few Kieran Donaghy s into the square will be Tyrone s Achilles heel going forward. I absolutely believe it would bring a much needed variation to our forward play. Kerry teams have used this tactic for years why can't Harte bloody see this?

Were you at the Dublin game? People keep on rattling on about this tactic without observing the evidence objectively. We put in two or three long balls into the FF line in 1st and 2nd half and (open to correction) we got sweet f all out of all of them. You play the hand you're dealt and for us it appears that 80/90% our scores are coming from the running game. We don't have the players for the kicking game. Fair enough use it occasionally to keep the defenders guessing but it's not something we are making hay from at all.

Yes we are kicking the Ball but it's going down the throat of the Dublin defenders. Kicking for the sake of kicking. I'm talking about having Colm Cavanagh closer to cluxton with a few quality high balls in top. Read what I said!!

In the Advent of the super 8s and the scheduling of home games in the height of summer it is now time for the Tyrone county board and others to invest in better ground infrastructure.  It may cost a lot of money but it will have to be done.

As impressive as Tyrone have been they are still far too one dimensional. Put Colm Cavanagh into full forward and get him in on top of the opposition goal keeper especially the likes of cluxton. Philly McMahon and Cooper have it too easy against our predictable forwards. A few Kieran Donaghy special s will make the Dublin defence less decisive. Harte has too really waken up or Jim Gavin and others will always be two steps ahead of him.

The important thing is for Niall Morgan not to dither on the kickouts.  Hesitatation doesn't do the team any good. We really have to do a Mayo tactic on Dublin like the All Ireland finals, it's the only way. The difference is Tyrone have the better players than Mayo. Go for it and see how we get on.

The best thing Tyrone can do next Saturday is not too worry about conceding against Dublin. Donegal yesterday fell into the old trap of defending in the last ten minutes as Dublin kept Ball. Press their kick out an press them in possession. Let Dublin worry about us, they LL hate it. I've always believed Tyrone have the best footballers in the country. Yesterday is a great step in the right direction. Kick passing excellent with Richard Donnelly prominent, if we could get Lee Brennan back in now that would be the icing.

IL never be happy with the 'Harte situation' in Tyrone but cut me open and red an white blood will flow. Bring on the Super 8s.
