Tyrone operate 3 'Senior' leagues. Teams in Div1 play Senior championship, Div2 player Intermediate, Div3 play Junior.
Teams who win Junior Championship and Junior League are promoted from Div3 to Div2 . Teams who win Intermediate Championship and Intermediate League are promoted from Div2 to Div1. So in theory you can finish bottom of your league but get promoted by winning the Championship.

We also have 3 'Reserve' leagues but strangely your position in these leagues are determined by wherever your 'Senior' team plays.

In Tyrone a red card match suspension is only applicable at that same level, for example; receive a red card in the senior championship in 2019 and your team loses, they are subsequently relegated via the league to intermediate for 2020 - red card doesn't carry down.

A lot of negativity about fixtures being moved around last night. I thought the county board done well to get them played at short notice in alternative venues? Granted playing a game in Garvaghy is far from ideal but with the rainfall they obviously did not have many options available. The same people would have been complaining had the games been postponed and fixed for midweek. Fair play to Pomeroy for hosting the senior double header, not easy with a few hours notice.

Laoislad - training load has increased and is definitely a factor. I ran 40 miles  in total last week (Monday - Sunday) and had planned 45 this week but that won't be achieved. Have 20miles to do tomorrow AM as can't get out on Sunday.
Have you ran Dublin before? I ran the first 15 miles or so of it Sunday as part of a 20 mile run, had forgotten how hilly the first 7 miles are and how much of a drag the Crumlin road is.
Not long left now.

Ran it last year and achieved my target time of sub 3.30 fairly comfortably, hoping to better it this year. Fingers crossed it's just a bad week!

But definitely going to nail the diet, hydration and sleep from now on.

Lfdown 2 - I would count yesterday as a day off based on the fact the run was a write off and won't be doing anything today. I am going to make a conscious effort to clean up the diet now for the remaining weeks.

No, training dates and times are consistent, possibly my food and hydration has not been, but shouldn't cause the head fluster I have experienced this week!

Need some help. Training for Dublin marathon and this week I've hit a bit of a wall. Every mile I've ran feels like a battle, a 10 mile steady run tonight was cut short to 7 miles and felt like every step was gonna be my last. My head is losing the battle and the body is sluggish. I'm a fairly competent runner: ran my first marathon last year and have been going well up to this week. Can anyone recommend any podcasts or books specifically aimed at marathon training to help me regain some focus and more importantly give me a boot in the arse!

The allegation is that it happened in the team hotel and involved members of the extended management panel. That's when the the line is crossed.

A Hotel belonging to one of the sponsors as well.

Fermanagh sponsored by Tracey Concrete who don't own a hotel???? A lot of talk and rumour here, but as yet no evidence.

Absolutely no issue with a backpack that size, we regularly bring them in. They barely search them these days, a token gesture when the queue is quiet.

Rory making the trip to Derry according to today's Irishnews

Have Derry not suffered enough?

If it happens, Brolly will go mental.

Find that hard to believe, he is Brian McIver's biggest critic and I assume in his role he is part of the selection committee, are am I well off the mark?
He's meant to be on the appointment panel

The way Peter Harte was managed on Sunday by Kerry is the exact same way Conor Meyler manages whoever he is tasked to pick up, I have no complaints. Peter Harte at this stage should be well able to deal with it and work his way into a game.
#73
I don't think anyone from Derry can say a thing about County Boards and messes!
#74
Is that twice he has missed games for a wedding now? Harte must be getting more relaxed as the years go on.

What a great footballer.... But can we all now agree hes now a self serving twat whose embarrassing. Mickey and Sean have let the County and the lads down.

Don't agree with his analysis of this at all but I expect he's trying fire fight any reputational damage to his business. Just a hunch.
