Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[TabClear]

Hearing from a good credible source that the double weekend (Friday + Sunday) at the end of the month is being pulled on the say so of county management.
These fixtures replaced for a stand alone saturday fixture, could possibly be a starred game.

That was always inevitable.

Two games in less than 2 days was not a great idea anyway. Hard to get rid of knocks or niggles in such a short turnaround.

aye don't want that to happen with county games coming up... no harm if its club players in the championship in September give them three games in a week.

Will come as a disappointment to those who had made arrangements or plans for that weekend based on fixtures being on the Friday and Sunday as was in the original fixture plan

Wasn't a good idea having 2 games in 3 days but none the less players accepted it and where willing and looking forward to playing ball!! This bullsh*t that happens every year of scheduling games and then refixing them weeks before is not on, weather Mickey has made the call or not doesnt bother me as he is right too as he wants the best for his County team but it's the County board who need to man up and either tell Mickey where to go or else speak to Mickey before they release the fixtures on what dates suits the County and then release them after! Dont make this call and chat about April being a month for Clubs when really its still being run by what suits the County manager by the looks of it! County board is a full of puppets and Mickey is pulling the strings which to be fair if any man had his power and was getting away with it would do the same!

[Quarterback]

There is not a chance people will stand up to Mickey. Clubs will do as they are told, players will continue to train like monkeys, managers will continue to earn huge sums of cash whilst clubs fundraise tirelessly to pay them!

[blewuporstuffed]

I cant understand why they would release these fixture number of weeks ago, just to pull them now.
Thats the frustrating thing for the club players.

[redhandefender]

Why if this is true do they not make the call as early as possible. If people here know then it is clearly being discussed somewhere. Call an emergency meeting or whatever has to happen tonight and let people know tomorrow.

Very disrespectful!

Over this past couple of years It's probably worth noting how Trillick get out of the blocks early to secure their senior status but never seem to make the league play-offs. It must be very frustrating for the players, management and supporters to see these early league title aspirations fade away when the starred games begin prior to the Ulster championship. I see Monaghan club teams get 5 points for a win with their full complement of players and less for starred rounds. 
What are the thoughts on the Tyrone leagues following the Monaghan approach of awarding more points for games that are not starred and less for the starred rounds?

A suggestion was put to the clubs last year of something similar. They wanted to change the leagues to 12 teams. You would play 11 games with the county players and 11 games without. The one's with county players would be worth double the points meaning the ratio of points with the county players would be the same as now, while at the same time giving regular games for club players during the summer months. It didn't get voted through though.

Honestly, as a club player I'm happy enough it's going to be pulled. I think 99% of players would be happy with the talk of one Saturday fixture.

And 99.9% would love all fixtures to be Saturday full stop.

[Under Lights]

I personally would really like to see sunday freed up, the reserve + senior fixture on the one day should be done away with as well as with other counties.


Even if they kept it the same but moved the games to 13.00 and 14.15 at least it would be better.

I ve said it on here before that I think  Sat evening games would have a big impact on the availability and numbers of reserve players , in particular at the two ends of the age spectrum. Younger lad who want to go out on a Sat night for a few beers and older players with families who want to do something with the kids on a Sunday

Im injured so doesn't effect me, but people with families etc still need to know what they are doing in advance
