Any further manager appointments? I see Urney and Strabane both looking new managers.

Padraig O'Kane from the Loup is over Greencastle.

Anybody dropped from the panel to make room for these 6 players?

Barry Tierney has stepped away from the panel due to studying overseas according to reports.

Youse are being very harsh on the lad. Far too much expected of him.

What age is James Darcy?

Darcy was a county minor in 2015. Was on the u21 panel this year with limited game time. Should see more game time next year. Has been very impressive for the Tatts this year.

Trillck & Greencastle will be at Kilmacud 7's tomorrow.

If Trillick have everyone available they would have a serious 7's side. Surely won't be far away from winning it.
Greencastle will have a short day being in the same group as St Galls, the 7's specialists. Would enjoy seeing St Galls and Trillick at some stage in the competition, would be great viewing.

Trillick at 14/1 with Paddy Power be worth a punt for the 7s.

A lot of people jumping on this Clonoe bandwagon after 2 unconvincing games vs Omagh and 2 last minute scores.  Does anyone in the county feel Carmen can cause an 'upset' on Saturday evening?...I do

Aye you're right. Carrickmores impressive league form this year and their demolition of an excellent Greencastle team should give you great cause for optimism alright

Carrickmore have Ruari Loughran and Micky Slane back for the Clonoe game so I wouldn't be ruling them out as this will tighten up the defence significantly. If they can limit the number of scorable frees they conceded against Greencastle which Greencastle failed to convert then Carrickmore definitely are in with a shout.

Anyone on here know much about Niall McElroy from Aghaloo? Very impressive against Moortown. Looked quite young but don't recall him playing on any county minor teams.
Also, Stephen Mullan from Omagh. Didn't give McAliskey much space. Similar to Danny Gorman very solid for Killyclogher again. Could be worth a look come McKenna Cup.
I'd say Mark Bradley and Sludden were the pick of the county players on show at the weekend.

Kyle Coney was so bad yesterday,  He sauntered round the pitch waiting for things to happen rather than putting in a shift to help his team reach a championship semi final.  I actually cant believe Rouse and Hurl stood and watched him for 60+ minutes.  Ardboe actually put up more fight than I expected and actually if they had 15 players on the pitch might of actually threatened Dromore. 

Just when I'm criticising I may as well move onto the second game.  Was Mattie Donnelly injured?  He got on the ball a fair bit but he didn't want to take a man on or drive like he usually would.  We seen T.McCann driving Killyclogher forward, I just felt that was uncharacteristically missing from Mattie yesterday.

According to reports Mattie Donnelly was in bed all weekend with the flu and probably should not have been playing. A fully fit Mattie and it could have been a different result.

A bit of swing in Tyrone,... Errigal, Carrickmore, Ardboe,Moortown etc all now in the lower realms of senior football and the like of Dromore, Killyclogher and indeed Greencastle chamin at the bit for county titles.

Your remark may be tounge in cheek about Greencastle and going for County titles Helpline, but I would say fair play to Greencastle for sticking in Division 1 when you see the likes of large clubs such as Dungannon and Cookstown in Division 2 and the playing numbers available to them.

Its nothing to do with a  hangover, its the fact our pitch was unavailable ( something we had notified the CCC would be the case before the season started.)
I dont see the logic of forcing us to play 3 important games  (including a championship game) In 11 days, when there will be ample opportunity to play the Greencastle game prior to the final rounds of fixtures

I have heard that during the vote for a late championship and if Tyrone were beat in the All Ireland Quarter finals, that every club was to have 2 games prior to championship, meaning that the re fixture must go ahead this week.

Even if it is, this game is the 4th last game (round 12) so doesn't effect the final 3 run in games.

blewuporstuffed, your lads are bound to have got rid of the hangover by Thursday!!
