Dublin are the best team in Ireland - They played there 1st round of championship last night and this included U21 players who have an all ireland final tomorrow week.

I know there are similarities with other counties but for people to be blind to what Micky is doing in this case says to me that they are merely followers of a cult leader.

Calling late player away weekends - calling late training games - telling players not to play - Its just not right!

And if Tyrone played their club championship games this early there'd be a huge outcry that it was for money or to get the games out of the road.

And if we're going to talk Dublin why not compare the player availability v Tyrone. McMahon or copper from Dublin recently said they only played 4 games for their club last year due to county commitments. Gavin has huge access too his players.

The games continue in Dublin without them, they come to a standstill here when county men aren't available. If Tyrone clubs adopted a policy of fielding without county men and it meant constant football for all club players both senior and reserve id be all for it.

[allowed clubs access to their county players]

Yeah cause a new manager is going to come in and free up the players to play club football every weekend whilst still having Tyrone winning all Irelands playing open attacking football. The only issue I have is with the timing of the request for the training weekend.

When you see what other counties are doing it wasn't an unreasonable request to have the players for one of the 6 weekends pre Derry game. He wasn't even demanding that the games were cancelled just moved to mid week.

Midweek games happen in local soccer and other counties and in a one off scenario weren't the big deal they were made out to be. Harte is far from perfect but has been allowed clubs access to their county players as much if not more than other top county managers in recent years.

This board has got terrible. Full of crying and yapping and over dramatising everything. Just like other forms of social media I guess. The majority of people now on the Tyrone pages complain in at least 75 per cent of messages. There's been 2 full rounds of club games and plenty of underage games with very little talked about them. The county players and management give an awful lot to the county and don't deserve half the crap they get.

This is the problem. Its not up to him to allow players to play for their clubs. It should be the other way round. If it wasnt for the clubs in the country there would be no county team and Harte wouldnt have a position. You have always defended Harte, but even you at this stage must start seeing the normal club players gripe here. Ive stated before i couldnt care less if Tyrone never win another All Ireland, i would far rather my club win an Oneill cup. Why is it yapping? Is it because our opinions dont match yours?

Fair play to MH, takes a strong man to stand by his beliefs in the face of adversary. If we are holding the anglo celt what come July there will be nothing but celebration. If some people need to be cannon fodder for that to happen so be it. That's war people.

You have to be taking the piss

I'd be surprised if any of them strip out on Sunday evening. Harte is some boy, its time he was taken to task over this. The players knew nothing about this training weekend until after the fixtures were released, which suggests he only organised it after the fixtures and to cause issues. Seems like a power struggle at Garvaghy. Theres only going to be one loser and that's the clubs. Pure stubbornness and ignorance from Harte which is his MO.

Him and Canavan are the two most naturally gifted forwards I have ever seen. Everything seemed to come so easy for both of them. Probably couldn't take another year of the muck that Football has become.

Anyone watch the O.A ?

Well worth watching. One of the best ive seen in a while.

Its being a while since Phoenix updated their new releases section. Always great quality movies in there but nothing new in a couple of months.

I was having issues with Exodus, couldn't get links and when I did they wouldn't work. I was using Kodi 16, so I deleted everything and installed Kodi 17, I then reinstalled exodus, Phoenix, Turks etc and they are all working fine now.

You boys need to take a look at Tyrones more experienced players instead of having a go at the younger ones. Matty Donnelly and Peter Harte just seem to do their own thing. Durcan scored 2 from play of Harte and Parsons got the goal after Donnelly took a wild shot of his left foot in the 1st half, he then never bothered tracking back. I understand that any man can have an of day, but that doesn't mean they cant be replaced if they aren't putting a shift in.  McCrory offers nothing either going forward or in defence. Mark Bradley was very good in the 1st half when he was played close to goal, but the 2nd half he spent more time in defence and wasn't able to get forward. Surely there are better options to be covering in the half back line than your main scoring threat.

As someone else pointed out it seems nothing has been learnt from last years defeat to Mayo, same game plan same result. Anyone expecting it to change before championship time is deluded. This game plan is here as long as the manager is.

Tyrone UNDERAGE players have been paying in a similar way to the seniors seem to now have been asked for years now - FACT !!!!

So where is all this big money going 

Now we might be getting somewhere... Bear in mind all coaching is done in Garvaghy....Not visiting schools or clubs..... Harte Benny and wee Peter are not cheap....

Surely this isn't surprising, there are men lining their pockets round different clubs every year, why would county be any different?

Anyone for John Wick 2? 

Certainly am. loved the 1st one.

Loved the first one too.  Manchester By The Sea any good?

I thought it was very good.

Why are the Patriots disliked so much? Is it just the fact that they have won so much? Or am I missing something here?

Pleasantly surprised by Tommy Tiernan's new show last night. Good interview with Christy Dignam and this wasnt hard to look at either...

Who is that?

The fact that 'BIG DAN' didn't handle leather against P Hampsey in either of the 2 games against Coalisland might have something to do with it?

Yeah that will definitely be it
