Good to get the win against the Derry wans. From listening to Paddy and Noel it sounded like a reasonably good quality game with Tyrone lucky enough to sneak the win with the late goal. Sounded like out of the newcomers Kevin Gallagher had the best game with McBride getting a fair few mentions. On the Derry side PJ McCloskey scored a number long range points from play. Sean Cavanagh and SoN did the majority of scoring for Tyrone.

Decent win today. As usual at this time of year there were mixed passages of play. Thought we were very poor around midfield and Clarke particularly struggled to compete. McBride had a good first half but looked a bit confused as to his role in the second. Tyrone looked in trouble until McAliskey got his goal - hopefully he can translate his club scoring to county level. Gallager was quiet but came into it at the end and got a nice point. Carlin was very good and Tierney did ok to.

[tyroneman]

Most of the new fellas did ok, kept it simple and tried hard.

Clarke wasn't  great today, too slow and for a big fella didn't make many (any?) clean catches. He's a talent though and hopefully will pick up.

Effectively the same old story in that Tyrone had no grip on MF for long periods. Bradley lorded it for a good stretch.

Sean was good on the ball but won little from kick outs.

Tierney and McBride did well, certainly look good for more age time. McCurry showed flashes of brilliance and should do well this year.

Lafferty was poor, seemed to be trying too hard and either missed shots by a distance, dropped them into the keeper or took wrong options running into trouble and losing the ball. Again, he's better than he showed today and hopefully gets another chance.

Anyone know what was wrong with Joe?

Referee dished out some very strange cautions. Penrose had 2 fellas on top of him at one stage and was the only one of the three booked. Harte at the end was hauled and dragged back trying to make a supporting run, yet he got the yellow. Notably mcQuillan, who never misses a chance to stick the boot into Tyrone, failed to correct the ref, despite the incident happening directly in front of him..

Good day out all the same, even the rain disappeared.

[Redhand Santa]

It was ridiculous that just Harte was booked from the incident. I'm not sure if he reacted but he was taken to the ground by a headlock as he tried to make a run as Tyrone were on the attack. Bradley had a bit of a go at Gormley near the end to, Gormley didn't even appear to do to much to get a reaction.

In two parts of the bbc match report it seems to say that Cavanagh came on as a sub to win the game for Tyrone. Great reporting.
