Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[Mikhailov]

Think it was very poor idea of Tyrone referees committee to appoint Sludden for the game last night. Poor ref at best of times but his own team had a 50/50 chance of meeting the winners so he had a extra interest in who won. Not saying he influenced the result but sending a player off after the game leaves Dromore with an advantage.

Conspiracy theorists will claim that it was done to minimise the Clonoe impact in next game - could have all been avoided if he was appointed to take control of different game.

Outside of that decision, he doesn't have the fitness for a pitch of that size especially when 2 very fit and pacey teams are involved. Felt he blew whistle just to get a rest at times !!!

Just back in from the 2 games in Carrickmore this evening. Dromore had too much in the tank for Killyclogher and never looked in trouble after scoring a goal mid way through the first half. The 2nd game was a much better affair. Omagh started well and Conor Clarke scored a cracker of a goal before suffering what looked to be a season ending knee injury. Coalisland came back into it to lead by 1 at half time. They started the 2nd half strongly and led by 3 with about 10 to go. Barry Tierney drove Omagh forward and 2 Ronan O' Neill frees and 3 points from play from Connor O'Donnell saw them win by 2. Niall Kerr was red carded for an off the ball strike in the final few minutes.

Conor Clarke the first casualty of crazy CCC decision, prob be one or two more who will miss Monaghan game, and in his case rest of year.
Terrible decision.

Maybe they should not let County players play any club matches to reduce the risk of injury.

Very Arrogant attitude:
What about the other ordinary club player who got injured over the weekend - are you not concerned for them also or are u just a 'county' supporter. Injury is a risk every day no matter the standard of player...

[sam03/05]

If you ask county players to play three championship games in under three weeks, then don't be expecting to have a full hand v Monaghan. There will be several key players unavailable.

[skeog]

conor just seemed to fall awkwardly no person near him very unfortunate for him scored a cracker of a goal beforehand

[hugh the root]

Slludden didn't kick all the wides.iI actually think he done well to control the game for all that was at stake

[hugh the root]

The CCC are the curse of the county yet again with tonight's injury to Conor Clarke likely to put ohm out if action for quite a while.Very lucky there was nt a lot more injuries

Was up at games this evening.  Seems coalisland were hi fiving and back slapping each other a little prematurely.  Took off their main scoring threats to a standing ovation from the terrace casuals. Subsequently surrendered possession easily and had no forward options when they needed a score.  Congrats to omagh on making the semis this yr at the least.

With Tyrone still in USFC the county players will be protected and get away with murder as well in remaining championship matches,referees' will be damned if they do damned if the don't if a county player is play acting or up to skull duggery

I would nearly go the other way and say county players get worse treatment in the club games than the average player. Dorris was sent out with the intention of taking Harte out of the game by fouling him off the ball, that was his sole purpose. If it had been done right he'd have picked up 2 yellow cards in the first half for being constantly at Harte, instead some people want to linesmen/referees to ignore this and then send of the county player when he eventually reacts and the aggressor lies in a pile trying to get him sent off. McGinley can also feel extremely hard done by to have been sent off considering he gave Clonoe players yell cards for similar challenges and then totally ignored the most blatant black card of the lot for a pull down by McNulty of Clonoe. His referring was extremely inconsistent throughout.

It was a very good club championship game. Tense throughout but with good passages of play. Clonoe are extremely lucky to be still be there but took there chance when it came with 10 minutes to go. They started off flying but Errigal dominated from around 10 minutes in until 10 minutes to go. I actually have plenty of respect for Errigal as they generally seem to go out to play football and not start the crap off the ball. I'm not sure if Clonoe will get a harder challenge in Tyrone this year and have a good chance of defending their title.

Mickey has openly said he wasn't happy with games this weekend so that's a load of crap. As I keep saying if you look at the counties Harte is trying to compete with in the majority of them they play less club football at this time of year and no championship. So he's not some kind of dictator. Our neighbours Armagh have stopped county players playing for their clubs for the last month ahead of a first round tie.

[Redhand Santa]

Is it known how bad Clarke's injury is or our people guessing? Very unfortunate as he seemed to start the game well and has been in decent form.

Great win for Omagh who showed a bit of character that people would often question coming from 4 down.

[Beantown]

I though the Fianna had the game in the bag when they moved 4 clear.. They seemed to tire at a crucial period in the game.. Quinn in corner forward picked up a knock and was taken off which was a huge blow . Philly Toner couldn't be marked at all last night. His driving runs forced Omaha to foul him every time.

Clarkes injury is a huge concern to Tyrone, he just seemed to twist something and you knew immediately it was serious enough.. Omagh have some serious flying machines up front but seemed to shoot for shootings sake a lot of the time and Oneill wanted the Hollywood type point too often. Crugan played well in midfield... All in all Fianna coup have easily won last night but fair play to Omagh for battling to the end and grabbing the crucial points in injury time
