Any word if tonights match is on Tyrone TV? Also find it strange that sunday's semi finals are being held in venues which do not accomodate Tv streaming.  Perhaps ££ figures are greater this season where it is not being streamed as it forces people to go to the game itself. I had this suspicion once the announcement was made at the start of the championship

They should be putting as many games on as possible on Tyrone TV, even if they are taking less money in, at the end of the day its gaining more coverage in the long run and its promoting the games in the County which in the long run also will lead to more corn for them!!

Healy Park, being the premier county ground, has been long fitted out for press facilities, not to mention a permenant platform for the main camera covering games in action. I'm not sure what IP facilities are available there, but I'd presume that the press box has at least ethernet connections available, probably WiFi too. Such facilities are almost certainly delivered by FTTC though given the roll out of FTTP by Openreach at present to towns and cities across d'North, Healy Park may be able to take advantage of that shortly too. Even if a journalist, photographer etc. can't get on Healy Park's internal Internet network, it's fortunate that the NI Water offices lie almost next door with its communications tower having 4G data coverage from all four networks on it.

Beyond Healy Park it can be a bit of a mixed bag. Potential Internet facilities at some grounds in Tyrone using landline might not be able to deliver an acceptable bandwidth to allow for good quality HD video streaming to a remote server. I'm thinking in particular of the quite rural grounds that are a good distance from a VDSL2 cabinet.

Using 4G data is a possible option though it can be fraught with issues, especially if they're fighting for bandwidth next to hundreds or even thousands of those in attendance! All four UK networks now offer unlimited data packages on contract for personal customers - however someone like the Tyrone County Board would likely need a business data package that has a service level agreement for priority service during peak usage times to minimise the chances of their live feeds being buffered. Loads of journalists use 4G set ups to deliver live "on-the-scene" reporting to TV channels and have done now successfully for several years, so the technology is proven. However I'm not sure that any one particular mobile network is available at every GAA ground in Tyrone, I think the county board has been trying this live coverage over 4G out already by using it for radio commentary for some games (in Fintona at least) and by the sounds of it, the problems are less to do with the links back to the remote server and more to do with the audio setup on the night! Teamtalkmag I'm sure have something very similar, but they've been doing it for years now (even when 4G didn't exist!) and they know the routine.

It would certainly be great if the PPV Tyrone GAA TV could be taken on the road, but one other consideration that would need to be taken into account is camera & microphone placement - you want a clear platform for the main camera, while you would also want to insure that the sound set up was both clear and not easy to be hijacked by those in attendance! In this case, the County board could do worse than to design plans for video & sound in advance at grounds most likely to host championship matches so that on match days temporary platforms and set ups can be quickly & easily deployed.

Errigal/Carmen game is going to be live on Tyrone TV this Sunday!!

Edendork played all the football, after going 6 down the 6 points without reply was probably the best 10 minute spell a team has ever had. Just didn't have it in them (experience) to hold out the game. Even when Carmen got the second goal it didn't seem like they were going to win. Edendorks whole back line is suspect except Conor Mallon.

Also, timer wasn't working on the score board (which is a complete joke for a county ground) but I timed it, Ref announced 4 added minutes on 30:35 and Carrickmore equalized on the 31st. The Carrickmore free to win it was awarded on 32:20 and was actually kicked at 33:10 and the ref blew full time straight after the free at 33:40. One more attack should've been granted to Edendork.

Long story short, McHughs a **** and gave Edendork nothing all night.

Errigal will make short work of Carmen, bad outfit overall.   

Your clock must be faulty. I timed it and McHugh played 4:10 injury time. Admittedly I thought he should have given Edendork one more attack and was surprised when he blew when he did.

You must've started it as they came out of the tunnel.. Overheard Errigal management (all 6 of them, decked in errigal gear) walking out the gate said Carmen got out of jail as he blew it up early. No matter what it said on the clock it took them over a minute from when the free was give to the ball went over the bar and he blew straight after, was definitely time for another Edendork attack

Thought Mallon was exceptional last night, black card cud probably have been avoided but hardly put a foot wrong! McCurry obv the stand out player, didn't deserve to be on a losing team! If Edendork had another keeper they would win, from what I saw of Morgan last year out the field he is probably their best player but only for him in goals in the past 2 games then carmen woulda hammered them!

Exactly, Peter donnelly wouldn't be anywhere near Monaghan if he'd been allowed stay with Tyrone. The whole thing is rotten

I totally agree with this, shambolic at what's happening!!

Intense game last night between Lough and Pomeroy - youd be sick you were a Loughmacrory man, be a hard one to take. Galbally look a cut above. Good win for Derrylaughan, a needed one too. Tattyreagh as good as gone, preseason already started for next year i hear. Whos everyone fancy for the Pomeroy vs Loughmacrory replay?

Would depend on who got the cards.. any suspensions?

Mickey Mills got straight red and is def gone. I'm almost certain HP got straight red too. He gave the umpire a friendly finger gesture going off the field too so might get a bit more for that. Frank Burns got double yellow so he'll be free

Good to see our u20 stars name isn't being mentioned today, he must've had a quiet night and proved a lot of critics wrong

You thought wrong. The dirty B*****d spit at Frank.

You're not doing too much shouting about HP giving the official the finger??? But grimes is a b**tard for that? Which I doubt he even did

Tottally agree amount of young children looking up to HP and turns and does that and him supposed to be the nice one from pomeroy just shows ye what the rest of them have to live up too. Grimes had a Trojan shift yesterday was all over the place aswell as marking McGeary gets far too much stick on this fourm.

Yet we all thought including myself thought it was funny when Rony Mac done it too the Donegal supporters last year... FFS get over it, what harm is there in sticking up your finger at someone, all it is is childish and nothin more..

Carrickmore will be stuffed on the Sunday - great venue for it too.

I think edendork might have a bit too much for them also - but i dont think they will be stuffed

Do you watch any club football??

Michael O'Neil - Ardboe - worth a call up
Mackers - Coalisland - must be at least 31. Great club player but county days are long over
Big Conn - Edendork - worth a call up
Lee Brennan - Trillick - has been on squad and will be next year if he wants
Big Dan McNulty (Wild card but worth it and it could free Matty up if it works) - Clonoe - seriously? doesn't start for clonoe and has constant injury issues

Outside the above there is very little of county standard that aren't already there. Most call ups in next few years will be from last couple of u20 squads and let's be honest, none of those boys are developed enough to make an impact at senior county level

Then players to add in and work with for future years:

McAleer (Gortin)
Grimes (Loughmacrory)
McNabb (Dromore)
Johnny Harkin (Tattyreigh)

Yes so you've just agreed with more or less everything I've said except that Big Dan isn't good enuf which I disagree on and that Mackers is past it, hmm I guess you've no idea and don't watch much club action

The standard of club championship has been dreadful.MH has an unenviable task improving his current panel imo.The names suggested are not county standard bar Lee Brennan.Suggesting adding players from a team just beaten by 17 points beggars disbelief.

Its a quite simple task to improve the squad if you really wanted to but only Harte is too stubborn to do it..

(In my opinion and I'm sure there are more players out there but this is straight off my head)

Players who will improve team immediately:

Michael O'Neil - Ardboe
Mackers - Coalisland
Big Conn - Edendork
Lee Brennan - Trillick
Big Dan McNulty (Wild card but worth it and it could free Matty up if it works) - Clonoe

Then players to add in and work with for future years:

McAleer (Gortin)
Grimes (Loughmacrory)
McNabb (Dromore)
Johnny Harkin (Tattyreigh)

Peter donnelly spotted at a few Monaghan championship games last weekend. Looks like he gonna be more heavily involved than just s/c sessions.

Imagine the Monaghan S&C coach been spotted at Monaghan club games, breaking news indeed......

Do you boys not get tired of registering new usernames everyday?

Ive seen the way you go on in the forum, i would not be surprised in the slightest if 1 or more of them accounts were created by you as a secondary account. so dont be so quick to point the finger and try and divert the blame.
I voice my own views on this, not to listen to nonsense like this from you.

Trailer does talk some nonsense on this board but to be fair to him I don't think hes far wrong, too many peoples identities got out and they created new accounts, man up. Could add a few more to his list:
Tyrone Rebel
Our Kid
Drumraghexile/Drumragh Abu or whatever he goes by now.

The board could do with a clean up

Get over yourself pearse blue maybe you can tell us about some of the rummors going around gallbally? seemingly the county star has got a baptisim of fire and this time not in a football pitch but with a masculin friend? any truth

Accusations like this is why yous boys create so many accounts. Grow up and stop spreading shit that you have pulled from a tree. get from behind your keyboard and say who you are if you are going o come out with shit like that.

well keep yourself to yourself, just letting you know what the rummors are dont forget that men up our way can hear the grass grow

Theres a time and place for all that - and lies like this have no merit being on the forum. although there was video evidence of a Dublin footballer being caught in the same act which surfaced in January

Same act, you'd swear he done something wrong

Harte up at the Coalisland v Arboe game, surely looking for a few new faces to draft into the panel. A couple impressed over the weekend.

Yeah and you could have picked them before throw up - Mackers and Michael O'Neil. O'Neil will get the call up id say this winter but Mackers wont as they claim he's too old which is bulls**t as you need to be playing your strongest team and the strongest team available to pick outa Tyrone would have him on it, weather he's only fit to play for 1 or 2 years max shouldn't matter, he should be on to improve the players around him and raise standards!

He is a god damn strength and conditioning coach for crying out loud.
You would think he is some sort of super coach
When do you ever hear of strength coaches in other sports?
All blacks no
Barcelona no
Dublin no
Kilkenny no
Tyrone 03/05/08 no
Liverpool no
corafin no
Caula no

Some people of building these strength coaches up to something they are not. Clare Meath Longford all strip out bigger than Tyrone ffs. Give over and move on lads.
Tyrone will get another man in who does the same shite for half the  cost and within a month the players will love him. Just the way the Monaghan lads will one Donnelly just the way they loved whoever the last strength coach was
They are on a serious gravy train that I know

Dublin dont have a S&C coach?!? Iv heard some pretty stupid things on this board but this my friend tops the lot

Dublin I think around 2012 lost there S&C coach to Leinster Rugby, He like Donnelly laid the foundations for the standard of what it should be!
Would I be wrong now in sayin that Bernard Dunne is part of their S&C coaches, he's def involved anyway!! Also Dublin train in massive complex like Setanta sports and NADA (National Athlete Development Academy) where they have a host of the top coaches in Ireland!

Any new additions to the training coaches?

Big name being mentioned

Big surname maybe 😁😁

Not related to MH. If it comes off it's a game changer.

Have my doubts about it myself can't see it happening.

Do you really think if you name him on a Tyrone discussion board that you could hinder the chances of it happening or why wont you say then?

[My Weekkend Senior Predictions]

My Weekkend Senior Predictions

Eglish vs Errigal
Tattyreagh vs Edendork
Omagh vs Dungannon
Carrickmore vs Derrylaughan


Errigal by 7/8 -  Even though a few injuries in the camp -with Harte having a small knock and Canavan doubtful with groin, also Peter Og and McGirr out with hamstring injuries, Eglish best hope I think is to get rough with Errigal and really raise the tempo of the game and get into their faces and try and make Errigal crumble, a bit like what Coalisland always do to them.

Edendork by 8/9 - I fully expect Edendork to make it through to a senior semi final again after looking at the draw which favors them, with big Conn back fit which is massive, he's probably the best club midfielder in Tyrone and sure to be the Tyrone set up next season, but I expect he will have a great battle with the Harkins at the weekend, and then they Morgan and McCurry who are both outstanding club players who I don't think the Tatts will handle

Battle of the towns!!! Toughest call of the weekend - I've no idea really how Omagh have been getting on performance wise and whos fit and whos not, Dungannon's league run seems to have come to an end recently but they've faced arguably 2 of the best teams in Tyrone, I wont be surprised if Dungannon win by a point though so that's what ill go with!

Another tough call but I see Carmen coming through this in the second half by 3/4 points, even if Conor Gormley is ruled out with a knee injury. Derrylaughlan will have to have all 15 players perform to a top level to win this were as I think that if Carmen players can perform even at 80% I think it'll be enough to see them through, to much craft and experience in this Carmen team to lose this one,t heir win at the wkend also over Dromore was perfect timing for them!

County board wouldn't pay him what he wanted so couldn't retain him. It's purely financial. A real lack of foresight on the county boards behalf in my opinion. One that they'll in time regret.

So you want the County Board to keep giving him more money every time he asked for it? Not going to happen.

Yes he's a proven tack record to be one of the best in the industry and it well affordable for our county board!

Any tom dick or harry just cant come in and do it!!
