Was surprised to see Hampsey and McKernan sent on yesterday, at the time there wasn't that much in the game. Might put a few noses out of joint in the camp too considering they were supposed to be out long term.

What other subs were used?

Bleak prospects now after what happened today.

Four red cards in four games so far, the first one was very harsh today but our discipline has let us down.

McNamee was probably our best player, battled away against pretty bleak prospects, McCurry showed up well too.

The numeric disadvantage means we can't read too much into things, we butchered a load of goals chances before the red card and probably would have been leading otherwise.

Tiernan McCann looks utterly done at this level for me, thought he was dire today and seems to have lost a lot of pace.

With McShane gone for the rest of the season and Donnelly having big question marks over his fitness, it looks like we have huge problems to address.

Good to see Hampsey and McKernan return, Hampsey looked miles off it when he came in though.

Don't think you have a clue to be honest, best player full back even though his marker scored 1-8 doesn't matter what from play or from frees cause you were definitely praising mccury last week even though he scored majority from frees.

Walsh is the in form player in the country and he hit 1-5 of his 1-08 from dead balls. McNamee did a good job on him considering the circumstances.

With no respect for your opinions at all, I think it is you who hasn't a notion.

Don't know how I feel about this. Against Kerry I thought McNamee looked off the pace, and went the full forward roams I think hes uncomfortable. I gave him the benefit of the doubt as he was marking Clifford and that is a task and a half. However, yesterday I thought the same again (off the pace) and i'm saying to myself but he was marking Walsh. Although, every team is going to have a great full forward so where do we draw the line?

Tyrone to get the house in order come the summer, make the super 8s and an all-ireland semi but no further than that. I wouldnt be very surprised if harte was offered a year or two extension then, same as the last time he was supposed to leave.

Surely, surely not

We looked ridiculously slow, all over the pitch. Even McNammee who has been our most consistent player over the years looks off the pace. Albeit, following one of the most on form forwards in the country at the minute but the way we are playing is not what would've been associated with Tyrone.

Reading above people saying Cavanagh is done and McCann isn't at the level. I agree, but who the f*ck do we have good enough to replace these boys.. Very dark day for Tyrone and Mickey and I think Ballybofey will be darker again after watching them on TV on Saturday night

[Coalisland]

Senior Championship First Round

Clonoe v Coalisland

Moy v Derrylaughan

Galbally v Trillick

Killyclogher v Carrickmore

Loughmacrory v Dungannon

Ardboe v Donaghmore

Errigal Ciaran v Pomeroy

Omagh v Dromore

slim pickings

The Trillick hater returns.. only man in Tyrone happy seeing Trillick beat on penalties

you do realise of the 14 outfield coalisland players against trillick in last years semi final 9 are under 25?  however i'm looking forward to see how McDollar copes with the pressure of another well paid clonoe manager coming up against us in the championship!

I hope come closer to the time you can tell us more of Coalislands tactics and player availability Local Expert.

Will Kerr / McNiece / Toner / Kane start for Coalisland this year v Clonoe in the Championship?

Does a bear shit in the woods? One trick pony them boys

Junior - Killeeshil look in a good position to make the final, be some good games deciding who makes the final with Cookstown, Kildress, Derrytresk, Eskra and Urney all in the other side.
Intermediate - Edendork be very happy with the draw, avoided Eglish and are in the generally easier side of the draw. Their expected game with Moortown in the quarter final has all the makings of a good game, but you'd fancy Edendork to make the final. Eglish a big challenge ahead of them to reach the final, any of Gortin, Owen Roes and Aghyaran will fancy nipping them and pushing into the final.
Senior - likely to come down to winners of Coalisland and Trillick in the Semi Final again. Dungannon look in a good position to reach a semi final and potential final in their side of the draw. Fully expect Donaghmore to nip Ardboe and Carrickmore to beat Killyclogher in the first round.

Is the draw completed fully. I thought it was like last year and just the first round winners know who they will meet then open draw for semi finals. Has it changed to allow every club to see their potential path all the way to the final...can anyone confirm

You can see the whole route to the final

[Clonoe]

Some great games, were in for a great championship. I have a few under dogs included in my predictions.

Clonoe v Coalisland
Clonoe will be ready for their rowdy neighbors this year as they have had to watch them at the top over this past while. Coalisland will be big favourites going in but I expect Clonoe to have a big year this year

Moy v Derrylaughan
'Dogid' game, expect derrylaughan to win on sheer ignorance.. The moy have a few stars and if they all gel they could upset my prediction but I think Derrylaughan a better all round side. Hard to know who will be favorite will be here.

Galbally v Trillick
Hard to look past the champions here, however Galbally coming up from a great year in D2 and if they get a good league campaign they will be confident. Think trillick are too wise to be caught on the hop though. Trillick will be favorites going in.

Killyclogher v Carrickmore
Tough one to call, Killyclogher not anything near what they were a few years ago however either are Carmen. This will be a good battle and could maybe be a draw?? I think Killyclogher will be favorites

Loughmacrory v Dungannon
Dungannon a lot of good players coming through and a lot of them have county experience which will stand to them performing well in D1. Although I think the Lough will be fired up for this and their dirty tactics will throw a lot of Donaghmore men off their game. Dungannon will be favorites

Ardboe v Donaghmore
Ardboe are similar to the Moy, they have a few stars and their bite will not be questioned however Donaghmore have been building slowly and progressing this past few years. Think they will catch them on hop, not really sure who would be favorites going in. Probably Ardboe with Donaghmores bad record.

Errigal Ciaran v Pomeroy
Lot of people going to disagree here, obviously Errigal will be favorites going into the game but Pomeroy have had a right bit of championship experience over this last few years and if their county men stand up to Errigal I think they can beat them.

Omagh v Dromore
Possibly the most even matched draw.. I predict a draw here, odds will be fairly close here going in. I think Dromore might edge it with slightly more classy players and a disappointing campaign last year.

Some people will disagree but just my opinion. Just as I was predicting a draw there I was thinking, what happens if a draw occurs? Does it go to ET and penalties like Ulster Championship or does it go to a replay for the county board to make a bagfull on the gate?

Coalisland going with a thirds team the year then

Local expert is player manager

When do they announce league fixtures then? How many confirmed dates should we expect for the league?

Personally I don't think anyone here has crossed a line. If someone shites in a sink they deserve all they get. When they do it in a Tyrone capacity people here have every right to he annoyed.

Its all shits and giggles to someone giggles and shits. Kieran Donaghy may catch himself on. Away back to basketball

You boys are worse than women with your gossiping. The lads did wrong but do they need it plastered over an Internet forum. They're young and young cubs do stupid things. They've the price to pay if they've been removed from the squad. Let it be done there.

Not good enough, they get away with too much because they are good at kicking ball. The story i heard from a well informed source was there seemed to have been no cubicle free and a sink was resorted to. They aren't that young, when you think about it.

what way are the u20s going ATM? Be heavily fancied tomorrow?

7 or 8 from last year there on my count - expected to beat Armagh (4/7 with bookies) but still bad forecast for tomorrow and Armagh will be ready for a crack at them. Don't think they took that league too seriously - got beat by Louth during it.

What is the story with Michael Conroy? injured?

I heard he was removed from the panel...Not sure if true or not though...

Fall out with Paul Dook when on their training weekend. Generally seems to have a bad attitude

He apparently forgot where the toilet was.......

Fair play to Paul, Conroy was a main player on that team and he went to school in Armagh and would love to be playing against them. A lot of managers let players away with too much and this is how egos are built.

Yeah proper order, I think a few more cud have went aswel only they wudnt have had much of a panel left, wrecked the hotel they where in, every player had to pay a fine to cover the damage then!
Discipline was done a few years ago aswel when Morris from Galbally and I think someone from Dromore aswel where kicked off it, they went on to win All Ireland that year then

Think that was Sludden from Dromore. Don't get this idea of wrecking places when you are away with a team, why has that become a thing.. Even last year, the U20s were bouncing on top of some poor young girls car. Devlin has probably had enough at this stage.. Story I heard on Conroy was he was asked by Paul to stop smoking and continued to do so.. Could be wrong but was a pretty reliable source.

Is any of this true? Last I heard he underwent an operation on his shoulder and would be out for a year.

Players don't get kicked off for being injured...
I believe Kevin Cassidy from Gweedore cud say a lot about the toilet incident which took place in his bar

Just enquired about the toilet situation, dorty bastids, all of them involved should be booted off for that. Cant take them anywhere these days.. Surprised this hasn't been posted on facebook by one of the clowns for all of Ireland to call us tramps
