That's the 26 subs included. Would like to see Brennan featuring. K McGeary will see game time, probably RON, mcnabb, C McCann and McClure there also. Pretty good subs to have to come on. Do yous think will R Sludden feature if tyrone are in control? don't see why not I suppose. Although RON should be prioritised in from of him.

I asked a bit earlier but has anyone any idea why cathal mc carron didnt make the 26

Not even in the 26 so he must ne injured.

I think we could see a omagh trillick errigal and pomeroy semi finals

in todays ulster herald in an interview with mickey it says "several squad members including Ben McDonnell, David Mulgrew, Ronan McHugh, Ciaran McLaughlin, Brendan Burns and Declan McClure all nursing various knocks and strains at the moment." with regards to calling up Ruairi Sludden.

That confirms some speculation of some of them players. They are on top of the obvious lee brennan and mark Bradley. It doesn't mention Harry Loughran anyway so I assume he is ok.

I reckon trillick be a team hard stopped in championship this year. If they are full out injury free they could go all the way this year again. unfortunate to lose to omagh last year and omagh ended up winning it. Errigal shouldn't be far away. Cant see omagh winning back to back. Dromore will always put up a fight. A lot of teams could be trickey this year for anyone. Any dark horses like pomeroy last year?

[Diarmuid Connolly]

I heard McCurry has 20,000 reasons for wanting to go to the States....

I think its actually 22,000 reasons. Diarmuid Connolly also going to the states not sure which club though. Darren is going to Parnells.

Surely his "Record" might prevent him from passing immigration??

Why? Was he in the Ra or something - please elaborate.

Was he not done a couple of times for assault or something?

I am taken aback by the amount of people from Tyrone who want them beat on Saturday and as many who couldn't care less if they win or not. Is anyone else finding that?

serious amount of apathy towards the county team even among people who would have been die hard supporters.it no suprise though with all the shite that goes on and to be honest we would be as well gettin beat on saturday then harte will have to go and we can start afresh next year.

I agree. Tyrone's biggest problem is their lack of positive support towards the players and team. Surely the negativity rubs off on the players. Any team needs their supporters fully behind them to be successful. Unfortunately the problem with our supporters is we only get behind them when they are successful. The never ending negative media against Tyrone rubs of on us supporters. What ever the papers say we listen, agree and believe what they are saying.

Tyrone trying to become more offensve minded by keeping 2-3 players up the field and couldn't beat monaghan. Fermanagh play 15 men behind the ball and with a certain degree of nastiness and aggression which I can only assume was manager influenced, beat monaghan yesterday.

Us tyrone supporters want mickey to move away from the defensive structure which he is trying to do, but yet it doesn't win games. What can anyone suggest?

Whats the story with Quigley or why wasn't he playing? Eoin Donnelly a true leader.

I heard big Murphy is for the states this summer? any truth in that?

So with McClure out now as well surely the numbers are low. McClure, L brennan, Sparky Bradley all out injured is there anymore on the panel? Harte suspended. Cavanagh and T McCann will hopefully be match fit. With games coming thick and fast I'm guessing more injuries will be picked up. Could do without any more suspensions. they will be needing a full panel in the next few months anyway.

Was at a couple of games over the weekend myself. Killyclogher put up a poor show against omagh. Bradley a big loss I suppose but a complete no-show from the McCann brothers. Ronan oneill quite good and D mcguigan a serious prospect. Arrived 10 mins late for the Clonoe and EC game but not sure if I missed much. Seen Mickey and Gavin devlin in attendance. PJ lavery still a class act and a few of the errigal players impressed. Accoridng to a man beside me in the stand both teams were missing maybe 3 key players each.

[as they will avoid Dublin]

From that article: "I see no reason why Tyrone can't get themselves to the Super 8 and, in a way, going through the qualifiers has improved their chance of making the semi-final as they will avoid Dublin. The Leinster and Ulster champions are due to meet in one Super 8 group."

That is wrong - they MAY avoid Dublin.  If Tyrone get to the Super 8's, they have a 50/50 chance of being in Dublin's group - it all depends on which beaten provincial finalist Tyrone play in Round 4.  If they play (and beat) the Munster or Connacht final loser then they go into the group with the Leinster champions.

You would think someone would check these things before publishing (not necessarily the author).

What I took from that, is that he meant if you win ulster you are automatically drawn in the same group as Dublin? but going through back door there's a good chance to avoid them?

Harte receives a lot more abuse off the ball than any other player on the team. He's harassed and bullied and gets no protection from referees or team mates. Referees need to make their helping officials more aware of these sledging matches.

I believe that affected Darren hughes and not beggan when talking about missing the international series due to scotstown championship campaign? although they were later flown out after the first test.

Monaghan by far better team yesterday. Tyrone seemed lost on kickouts, both our own and monaghans kickouts. Monaghan looked better drilled and knew what they were at. Much credit to Malachy O'Rourke. Can only name skeet as a player who played well for tyrone.

Back door isn't the end of the world. More games could build momentum and get game time for other players on the panel. Would like to see Hugh pat and Mckernan starting. Mattie and harte very quiet. For supposedly the teams 2 biggest leaders they need to step up on the big days. The team need to stand up for harte and the attention he gets on the field.

If tyrone are knocked out first day out in qualifiers or in 1 of their first couple of games it would free up a long summer of club football. Club championship and league would be run off very smoothly.

If this is the case does all the unplayed starred games become non-starred games?
