Also his record would be pretty similar to Larry Strain's. He won a club championship as well with Ballinderry.

Didn't know he managed ballinderry
Don't think it's a done deal just yet but both Gallagher and devlin are the preferred candidates with both our chairperson and senior manager but no official announcement yet

Devlin managed Ballinderry surely after a fallout but his children then started to kick a bit a ball and he returned to his beloved Moortown and after rising through the ranks at underage he managed back to back minor crowns and then was surplus to requirements and a fallout followed again, his lads were rumored to be transferring to another club

Ardboe management whom managed back to back minor titles suffered the same fate as them were chased last year after 1 year of a 2/3 year term

Derrylaughan won promotion this year to via a sterling performance in the league and were very unlucky not to win the double albeit some poor decisions by the ref cost them dearly , if my source is correct they have also chased their management team

Is there something in the water round the lough or what ?

The lowside around the loughshore has always been a bit mad. If you want to stay in management around there, don't be a successful youth manager.

Devlin was successful and got the road in moortown and as you say, so did the Ardboe management who got one year with the senior squad, although their dismissal was nothing to do with football. Rumour has it that the ginger shop keeper in cahoots with the bookmaker and his skivvies (same family) planned the coup that was to end their managerial careers. But that's another topic for another day.

Devlin will probably get a role within the Ardboe youth structures given the fact that his sons are heading that direction, however, that doesn't interest me either. If he gets the Tyrone job and can produce results I will be happy enough.

Should Bellaghy accept the PSNI? Their chairman was brutally murdered at the gates of the club by loyalists who were assisted by the local police. Right up until this year the PSNI refuses to assist in a proper manner in any efforts at an investigation or produce papers that are demanded of them at the coroner's court.

Cover ups and collusion are words we can't mention or we will be accused of living in the past.
Some would rather dissolve our identity to accommodate those who make little or no concessions when it comes to accommodating the GAA.
Sean Browns case is a prime example that thentime is not right.
If they (the British crown forces) don't think its time to assist the Brown family, then they should not be facilitated by the GAA

As matter of interest on this forum who would be in favour of accepting psni within the ranks of tyrone gaa. For me not a chance while they are still working for the crown. That's just my feelings.

Personally, I don't think the timing is right. As you say, while they still work for the crown they shouldn't be accepted.
The ethos of the GAA has been abandoned and the promise of funding seems to be the  selling point.
Sometimes I don't understand the logic of certain clubs and individuals. Ardboe being a prime example. They scrapped a crest because it contained our national flag, yet it's ok for the chairman to pose with a member of the British Security Forces.
What's the logic there? If I was a member of that club I would be more upset about the chairman than I would our national flag.

WISE UP YOU CLOWNS!!

Opinion or debate not allowed?
Give us your opinion.

Describing the British Security forces as a community organisation? I'm not so sure myself.
I don't think Galbally would welcome the security forces. Although I would have thought the same about Ardboe and Moortown.
I believe the security forces are using the community issue to their advantage to create this sense of normality.
The same way as they use it in schools.
Some schools bring in the PSNI for various talks. In some cases I know parents who have expressed concern and others who have kept their children at home on the said days.

I don't think it would be accepted in my own club. We have lost several member of our club to the security forces and we hold those members in high esteem. There is still a rawness there and many of our current members have lost family at the hands of the security forces.
I don't think it would go down well to even suggest it.

Heard Jordan is to be challenged for the Chair position but I don't think it will be an improvement if what I'm hearing is correct. Team Talk would be running the County lol. While there a great media provider and publisher of our games they still need to be an arms length organisation.

It's jobs for the boys up there anyhow, you need to be in the click to get elected into any position

Our man has remained loyal to the club.

A shake up at County board level will do no harm.
They'd need to get rid of a few.
I'd say Jordan will come under pressure in the battle for chair.
I've heard a name floating about for the chair position. The name I'm hearing would definitely be my preference. But we'll wait and see if they're in the race at all.

The O Rahillys due a change.
O'Dowd will do ok with them.
