Mattie on his way to Cavan is the word on the street.

Great draw for Mattie. Manage to bate Monaghan and he's in an Ulster Final

Also love the way he sets up with Scotstown. Seriously unlucky not to win Ulster last year v Cross. Best game of Football I think I've ever witnessed

The bottom half of the draw is well set up for Armagh, they should beat an atrocious Down side and will be coming in under the radar against a side who will already have had to put at least one big performance in to get to the semi. It's a very tough draw for Monaghan and I think they will slip up somewhere down the line.

We should handle a depleted Derry without much fuss and the Donegal game is the big one. It will be interesting to see how much Gallagher shakes up the Donegal squad.

I'm wile curious to know. How do you believe Scotstown "set up"?

Few scotstown men aren't to happy that Mattie announced this week his move to Cavan, they don't know where that leaves them..

Aren't 2 happy, 3 Monaghan Senior Championships! It leaves them looking for a new manager I'd guess.

would be a real shame if we let him away. he is deffo the man we are crying out for to take us forward. i love his tactics with scotstown, no sweepers, kick the ball, go man to man in an offensive minded gameplan. mattie is just the type of culture change we need in tyrone.

Lads, don't be fooled. Scotstown get plenty behind the ball when they lose it but kick it quick when in possession. Still very defensive when opposition have the ball but good when they turn you over. As someone else said earlier in this thread, they are by far the no.1 team in Monaghan with an abundance of county players at all levels so should be in contention every year - that is why they don't need to play with a sweeper in vast majority of games..... In saying that, Mattie has delivered when it has counted so kudos for that.

[time ticking away]

Scotstown have been very succesful under matt. He must get credit for that. However if anyone thinks Scotstown play some kind of 15 v 15 game then they either haven't seem them in big games and/or just believe what matt tells the papers. Indeed club boi reckons last year's ulster club final was the best game he had ever seen. Scotstown had two defenders lined out at centre half forward and corner forward that day. Don't believe all you read.

Numbers mean nothing these days. You can't disagree the Ulster Final was an end to end fascinating game of football

He also has the b@lls to make Big Calls like making K Hughes mark his full forward mate at the time Mc Manus

Since Tyrone lost to Mayo we've had the usual anti Harte stuff on here and over the top reaction to a defeat. A picture has been painted that Tyrone play a highly defensive game with no attacking play. But as usual this was only based on the last game or two and everything before ignored.

In the four games before the Ulster final Tyrone scored:
1 17 v Cavan in the league final
3 14 up in Derry in Ulster
0 16 v Cavan in Ulster semi
5 18 v Cavan in replay

In the Ulster final Tyrone had to do whatever it took to get past a Donegal team that really hard to play against and have had the upper hand for a number of years. 13 points was a lot more than many others managed against them in recent years. That Ulster title was very important for most of the team to get their hands on a first senior championship medal.

I was as disappointed as anyone in relation to the Mayo game. I thought out mindset was too negative. Maybe after a year in division 2 the team struggled with the athleticism of a real top team but I do think we should have left more forwards up and ronan O'Neill isolated was a bad call.

Hopefully next season in division one and the confidence of Ulster title can bring the team on further and really challenge. Getting a forward or two to step us is still going to be the big issue.
