id say moy v cookstown and pomeroy v clonoe will be on together probably in edendork.

I have to say I find Edendork a terrible venue for a match - too open to the elements and there is little atmosphere created during games due to the vastness of the terrace.

Surely Senior championship games should be played at venues with a bit a shelter for the patrons - I can think of 10 better venues:

Pomeroy
Omagh
Carmen
Dungannon
Dumoyle
Killyclogher
Galbally
Augher
Loughmacrory
Coalisland

To that list you could add the following who have covered terracing;

Moy
Donaghmore
Greencastle
Kildress
Ardboe
Kileeshil
Trillick
Beragh
Fintona

Admittedly a few of them are not located centrally to accommodate games but I would travel the extra distance if it meant I was going to be sheltered...

Pomeroy shouldnt be used for Championship games, changing facility's are not up to scratch, you can barely fit 15 players in them!!
I dont see why they even use Pomeroy when there are better options!

Probably because it can hold in the region of 12000 people and has a covered stand that can accommodate 4000. Work will commence within the next few weeks on new state of the art changing facilities costing 1.2 million. Maybe then you'll be satisfied.

Boys ultimately we don't have the forwards to compete with Dublin.

I would agree with this, you still need top forwards to win All Irelands and currently they dont exist in Tyrone.  Im not sure where the really next top, match winning forward/s in Tyrone are coming from.  We seem to have abundances of running half forward types but very little options for the full forward line.  Until we unearth some forwards who can be considered to be amongst the best in Ireland, then All Ireland glory will be out of our reach.  Forwards win matches.

How are we going to unearth a really top class full forward if we continue to use this defensive style of play particularly when it's also being used by the development squads..

This win was coming for the plunketts, very unlucky in a few league games, competed with everybody bar Clonoe! I definitely think killyclogher underestimated us.

Illdecide.I met Moussa Dembele by pure chance in Celtic Shop in Argyll Street on Wednesday.Top lad! Have also ordered Brendan's autobiography,if you do so before 14th September, you can get your name printed in supporters section!

When did you stop calling him Coco?

Mickey is now on the prowl to add to the squad.  Who are the potential non-county players that will be hoping to impress in the championship and potentially make the 2018 Tyrone Squad?

Well since not one East Tyrone club has produced a player to regularly kick points since the Errigal Ciaran men departed the county scene, its a good job Mickey's been given 3 years so he can bring Darragh Caravan through.  Amen!

Aye Mark Harte was a real worldie

He's was no worse than any of the inside forwards we currently have!

Danny McNulty and Johnny Munroe must be brought back in but would possibly decline the offer, Ruairi Sludden, Brendan Burns are options.

Injury time goal from Michael Cassidy to win the game for Ardboe in Pomeroy and getting us a semi final place.

Disappointing ending for the Plunketts, had a man sent off at the beginning of the second half didn't help matters either. Hopefully our lads will learn from this and not try to defend a one point lead in our own half of the field. Hopefully another good performance to follow against Killyclogher, who knows!

Heard Strabane have also released their manager tough in div 1 if you not getting the results the fans expect. Strabane will win last 2 games to survive done same last year. ,

That'll not happen unless they are threw the points.

McCallan is still there, it is just the coach that is changed.
In fairness there was an awful brand of football on display this past two years. I know it is debatable that it is all the coaches fault but the powers that be seem to have laid the blame with McCann

A few Carmen posters previously lead us to believe they were playing an attractive brand of football and not defensive as alleged by others. Seems the others may have been correct 

Pomeroy have sacked Peter Doherty and Conal Sheridan. The clonoe defeat at the weekend was the final straw.

At the start of the season Plunkett supporters had big hopes for this team but there is a difference between Div 1 and 2. Yes, some teams breach the gap but not everyone does it. The teams who generally do well after promotion are teams with recent experience of Div 1 and are therefore prepared for what is in front of them.

Some Pomeroy men were very brash at the end of last year and stating on here that top 8 was within their grasp and basically dismissing the bottom 8 clubs - admittedly the starred games have affected them but we knew there would be 5 starred games before the start of the season - it is not as if the starred system is a new idea.

Who has taken over or who will take over - a massive 2 games left and Pomeroy probably need minimum 1 point possibly 2 to survive without a play off.

In fairness we haven't been far away in a lot of games, clonoe is the only hammering we took! Should have beaten strabane, donaghmore, trillick and killyclogher. Yes we had high hopes, but unfortunately it hasnt been a great season for a number of reasons, losing harte and O'Donnell, new management only put in place at the end of Feb, players not buying into the new management and a change in the way we'd normally play.

It's very possible we'll stay up with the 8 points we currently have. We cannot be caught by greencastle and urney and Strabane will have to win there remaining two games to overtake us which I can't see happening.

The Tyrone team is unchanged from the side that started against Donegal in the USFC Semi Final. Richard Donnelly returns to the matchday squad for the first time in 2017.

WT4E, no surprise to see him start. Thought Harte would have squeezed Brennan in but the starting 15 more than justified a start in the final.

Richie Donnelly looks to have replaced frank burns. From first sub against Derry to not making the match day squad is very disappointing for him.

Not trying to wind up but any reason Damian Cassidy was not at the Clonoe Coalisland game yesterday?

Clearly on the wind up cause nobody reacted to your other post

Perhaps Strabane (managed by an Omagh Man) made a gentlemans agreement for points to help their survival..... Anyone think of that??

+1. There's no way strabane could manage to beat a full strength omagh team in Healy park without something underhand. Hate to see that.

Brian was not playing reserve football when he got injured.

Yes he was, he played the reserve game against Aghyaran that particular day.

Good result for the Plunketts yesterday. Greencastle's always a difficult place to get points. One more win should edge us closer to survival
