Is it about my club WingHaifBack? It's about every club and every player, not simply those who will win their first round games. If you're unable to see that you're part of the problem. It's not about the trophies, it's about every club in Tyrone having vigour in it beyond May and every player in Tyrone still motivated by the ultimate prize (the championship) in their training. Why remove that vigour and passion during the best months of the year to play football? My own club weren't affected by the May championship last year but does it make me resent what it does to clubs and players of losing teams? No. Take your own blinkers off and consider every club or player, however successful or not they are.

It's a disgrace if clubs don't get to vote on it. Why can't there be one vote per club. Or would that be too much like democracy. That's why you need an active player or two on the board, people who UNDERSTAND and EXPERIENCE the outcomes of the decisions made.

May championship is counter productive for developing players. If teams are put out and men go to the states or not very interested in the league they are losing months they would otherwise be developing if building for a September championship. Who cares if it gives clubs a better chance of provincial success, it isn't giving Tyrone footballers the greatest opportunity to train hard and improve over the key months of the year. Let's look past elite success and concentrate on Tyrone based players having the best opportunity to develop. A May championship reduces this. I don't give a toss if a Tyrone club doesn't win at provincial level, but I do care about clubs and players having motivation all year and with it, real desire to improve.

But the timeline and events of the murder are what the case is built on as her DNA could not be found on his property, or rope fibres. There is not one trace that she was ever in the trailer or garage.

Interestingly Steve Avery believes it could have been Chuck and Earl Avery. Sadly, as I said before, the police had only one target and had tunnel vision. In your opinion Stew where and how did Avery kill her? That's where there is concrete reasonable doubt.

Does anyone believe the police could have killed her or she killed herself (that video she took of herself is strange in the extreme). Almost like a video a terminally ill person would make

Whether Avery is innocent I cannot 100% say, but what I can is he nor Dassey (who I believe is 100% innocent) can be found guilty beyond reasonable doubt with the evidence given by the prosecution. It's a disgrace and I could literally write page after page of the reasons why ( which I'll likely do at some point lol )

Lenk, Colborn, Kratz, Fassbender, Kachinsky, O' Kelly  and the two cops who took Dasseys original statement are rotten to the core. Maybe they thought they had the right man and we're going to do anything possible to put him away but that's not justice and they know Dasseys life is collateral damage for getting Avery, there can be no moral argument for their actions when a child's life is taken from him. They took the law into their own hands and manipulated the evidence. I've no doubt of that.

I remain sceptical about Teresa's ex boyfriend and something about her brother doesn't sit well with me either. The phone calls being deleted and her phone being hacked troubles me. Bobby Dassey and his father didn't come out of it well either. But NOBODY else was looked at, that alone is extremely poor police work.

A harrowing and thought provoking documentary series, i hope justice prevails, but that is rather in hope than expectation.

Foolish logic The Golden Years. By your reckoning Harte should drop someone who started last year off the panel entirely for somebody new and totally untested. While I agree to an extent that he is the likely candidate in the back 6 to lose his place, it would be foolish to drop a player from the panel who has major experience of: playing intercounty football and the set-up itself. He's a good, solid player and has rarely let us down in a Tyrone shirt. 

It's absolutely crazy. Amateur sportsmen training 12 months a year basically when you add club football into the equation. Hopefully the boys will get an AI for their efforts. Incredible dedication.

Wouldn't rate that Errigal set up, when compared to what the likes of what Clonoe have in Damien Cassidy, time will tell though. is that 100% confirmed? But they'll save a fair bit of money if true and I'm sure Pascal will be respected by the players. Any word on Fianna management?

Maybe Mickey and Horse view DD as a future star and want him to start getting the requisite S&C and familiarity with the squad. Can't write taking every young fella on the panel based on Ray Mulgrew, Coney and Peter Donnelly. Look at Donegal with Murphy and McBrearty. It's a case of the individual themselves. More U21s could come in based on this years campaign I'm sure as it worked out well adding Meyler last year.

Ardboe are hard boys at home but when the venue is neutral and the championship heat is on they've been continually found wanting, so I wouldn't be taking any high ground in the manly stakes. In Dunmoyle this year there was a right wiff off Ardboe as they bowed out as timid as house cats. On Benny, good footballing man but came across as a bit of a bollocks when he had his minor team face the wire after being beat by Errigal in the Minor League final a couple of years back. Set a shocking example. But I do like a lot of his tweaks on the Acadamh, hopefully it will produce good results.

Lee Brennan is an exceptional talent but its hard to put him above Skeet or McCurry yet. Needs to prove his worth first. Until he does I'd have the aforementioned two ahead of him. This year also probably is a sh1t or bust year for Ronan O'Neill, needs probably the best winter of his life to get in the condition required. Would love to see him do it as hes a fella who loves the big occasion and has star quality, but in 2015 you need the physical attributes to match.

Sludden is a good bit ahead of Munroe. He's too good a player to just play club. Him and Hampsey I think could make a significant mark on the side.

I'm going to make a bold prediction, it'll be windy at Greencastle tomorrow. Always cat and dirt for the players.

I hate the throwing of points. It's a pathetic practice. If you need to do it to stay up you should t be in that division. If I was a player asked to do that I wouldn't turn up.
