Can someone tel me the logic in reserve championship matches at 7pm on a Friday night? Carmen have to go to Trillick and i know you may say its only 45 minutes from Carmen but how many players be home from work in time to make Trillick in reasonable time to get ready for a match. What is wrong with Saturday evening early?

Would imagine the fixture early Sunday morning rules Saturday evening games out. Do you want lads playing two games- one on Saturday night then again 12 noon Sunday? Friday night seems most logical.

Someone throw this over Conor Clarke the next time you see him

Forgot about O'Neill being missing. Grugan was v.impressive as was Barry tierney, Clarke terrible.

Barry Tierney excellent also. Seems like a boy who just loves playing football and running.

Clarke was terrible- skinned alive when in full back and terrible on the ball when out the field. As soon as he got booked they took him off for Justin. Justin was booked shortly after coming on but was left on lol.

Everyone is entitled to have a poor game, but the most concerning thing was his attitude to the management team as he walked off. You wouldnt want to see a talented young player behaving like that.

That attitude got him back onto the field in the second half so it worked out well for him.

True. Shouted at management and shouldered one of them got him back on the field. Terrible from Omagh management.

SKINNED ALIVE THE BOY WAS! I WAS THERE I SEEN THE ROASTING!

Conal Grugan was the star of today I thought. Had a massive game. Joe McMahon missed a free at the end to win it. Omagh have some panel of players even without Ronan O'Neill. Very enjoyable game. McAiskey had great first half but Omagh got well on top of him in second.  He mostly kicked from frees thereafter.

Bit of a shock in the Junior Championship tonight Dungannon beaten for the first time this season by Newtownstewart. Second year in a row the Clarkes have crashed put early. Newtown have plenty of form in the championship over the last few years.

Clarkes will be hoping they don't have a repeat of last year when their season finished in the space of a week both league and championship

It's between Brackaville and Dungannon for the Junior league title; there's a very slim chance of either ourselves or Brocagh being able to mathematically catch up but it would be unheard of to overhaul that gap. I see Dungannon are down to play at Brocagh in the league this coming Monday, and the league run in for both teams isn't soft for either side. They still have to face each other, Fintona still down to face both teams as does Brocagh and Drumquin, Brackaville still have to face NTS and Dungannon host Killyman. Any team in the top eleven except maybe Clogher (simply due to playing an extra game more than Killyman and Beragh) still has a reasonable chance of a promotion play-off spot. Should be a good league run-in.

Clogher are not even training.

I must say, I was delighted with Greencastle's performance yesterday against Coalisland in Dungannon. We really took the game to them and it was a fantastic game of football. All of Greencastle's men really showed that they have it within themselves to mix with the upper teams in the Senior Division. A 5 point win for Coalisland flattered them a bit I think.

If your delighted with a five point loss then maybe competive sport isn't for you.

Now you are making up stuff to suit. I agree with your sentiments regards club football suffering and games shouldnt be called off but stop telling lies about the U21 management having the team train already! Have sense.

They have started. Early like. Shocking stuff.

You can loan out up to 5 times the amount of shares you have in your account. Therefore if you think you'd need a loan of £5k you'd need £1K savings in your credit union account.
Obviously you'll need proof of income as well bucko.
What are you qualified as?

There was a young Tyrone minor in front of me in the shops last night.  His initials were on his training top.  On the collar, there seemed to be a hashtag - looked like #nsu

Could be wrong - but anybody know what that's about?

It means 'No Stone Unturned'

[regular occurrence to see Alex Ferguson on the pitch at Anfield signing autographs for Liverpool fans and let's not forget the wonderful sight of Martin Johnson signing autographs in Croke Park for throngs of Irish fans or Bill Belchevik on the pitch at MetLife stadium signing autographs for New York giants fans]

Nice moment. In what other sport in the world would you see something like this?

Almost all of them. Lets not get carried away

Yeah, it's a regular occurrence to see Alex Ferguson on the pitch at Anfield signing autographs for Liverpool fans and let's not forget the wonderful sight of Martin Johnson signing autographs in Croke Park for throngs of Irish fans or Bill Belchevik on the pitch at MetLife stadium signing autographs for New York giants fans.

None of these have ever happened. Your source is incorrect.

From being at the game this is my viewpoint.......

Kerry out-thought Tyrone. Tyrone actually lined out with 7 defenders at that start. Petey Harte started at CHB on Declan O'S and Carlin sat in front of Gooch. As soon as the ball was threw in Killan Young made his way up to Peter Harte and Declan O'Sullivan moved just in front of Gooch. Carlin had to then pick him up- Straight away Carlin was on back foot, he came to the show thinking he would be sweeping, starting attacks linking up with petey harte and carrying the ball into the forward line- this was Tyrone's game plan carry the ball the whole way they never were to think about kicking it into McCurry and Mugsy as they thought Kerry would deploy Young as a sweeper. Anyway Declan skinned carlin for first few balls and as I say he and the rest of the game plan was on the back foot straight away. Petey didn't know what his role was now. He was basically standing at centre half back getting man marked.

Thought at half time that the game was by in no means over. But I thought Tyrone would have to try something new. I even suggested going totally different to what people expect from Tyrone. I said go with Joe McMahon and Aidan Cassidy at edge of square and wee McCurry playing off them. My reasons- I looked at the Kerry full back line- Aidan O'Mahoney and Marc O'Se were set up to always mark nippy forwards- I don't know what they would be like in an airal battle. I was very disappointed to see Tyrone line out second half pretty much the same but with Conor Gormley at wing half forward. It very much reaked of find a place for him.
After not being in the game at all Petey Harte then got another chance in a new position at full forward. Killan Young stayed with him. Young him alive all day. To me Killian Young looked like a person who was told last Monday night- your on Petey Harte. No matter where he is.

Fair play to the Kingdom. I always like to see the best footballing team do well. The likes of Kerry and Cork do it right. Tyrone's rugby style of play where they carry it into the tackle and try to release it sidewards  is very frustrating to watch. Joe McMahon caught in pocession a good few times yesterday. Felt a bit sorry for Mattie Donnelly. He was obviously under instructions to come back and take kick outs. He had the ball on his own 20 a lot of times and there wasnt a man up the same line as him until McCurry on the far 13. He constantly had to try and carry the ball into the tackle- get turned over and made look stupid. I know Tyrone may not have the same players with the same talents and bite as they had in the successful years but this season they looked like a team that had no natural flair- just gym monkeys.

Anyone have an idea of first 15? I think we'll see the same 15 that was named for the Ross game, with SON starting. On the radio last week it said he took part in full warm up so it must have only been a minor knock. The only change I could foresee would be McNabb in for Mattie D.

Colm Cavanagh played poorly last two matches. Taken off in both as never really affected the game. Can see Cassidy starting this one.

I'm no fan of the wee lad, but I think there's a lot of OTT stuff here. We keep telling each other it's an amateur game, nobody is forced to participate, etc. That being the case, the lad doesn't owe anything to anybody and is perfectly entitled to decide he's not going to commit his time if he's not getting the enjoyment (which is what it's all about, right?) in return.

Wild and whirling words about throwing the toys out of the pram, singing from the "roughtops" (sic), etc. are unwarranted. As far as I know, he's said nothing at all to the press. He's just told the manager he's not available any more. His business; nobody else's.

[Edit] I see there are suggestions he informed the press of his intentions in advance. Be that as it may, the substantive point stands.

I totally agree with this. Think people are getting a bit too carried away about the whole 'toys out of the pram' statements. County football nowadays needs a vast commitment. Training 6 nights a week. Always looking after yourself, if he has come to a time in his life where he thinks I have done that for long enough and want to enjoy a boy of club footie and maybe a bit more of a social life then let him be.
