Tyrone Club Football and Hurling

[ziggysego]

Collie was a terrific players. Gave a lot to the Tyrone cause. Enjoy your retirement, you've earned it lad.

Where is Donal Magee from?

Killyclogher. The man with the cap !

[Doogie Browser]

Will he still tog out for the Harps?  probably still only 31/32 I would say.  Good luck to him.

I see that Rocwell's sponsorship of Tyrone has come to an end.

[Doogie Browser]

Any rumours on the next sponsors?  Arnotts are on the lookout, maybe in these recessionary times they will look North!

Slán Collie, agus go raibh míle maith agat.

What a great servant to the county Collie was, and what a well earned retirement.

a gentleman, as strong as a bull, and by far the most intelligent reader of a game on the panel.

Congrats to Errigal, a league title was deserved for the way the played all year and I think they were definitely the most consistent league team and will be hard to stop next year.  A Big worry for Carmen if teams are going to put men like young Harte and Collie McCullagh at CHF to expose Gormley's lack of pace, why was Conor ever moved from the midfield in the first place, especially when Ciaran McAleer is quite a good CHB?  I think with Dromore and Errigal being the victors this year with local managers, maybe teams have to look again at the benefit of outside managers with their high fees and what they bring to their clubs. 

Hard luck to Dromore yesterday, nothing seemed to go right for them on the day but I am sure them boys will be back, they would have taken a Tyrone title and losing in the first round of Ulster at the start of the year.  Losing McMahon before the throw in was a major blow then having to bring him on early when clearly not fully fit for the unfortunate Kevin Donnelly didn't help matters.  The referee giving Clontibret a point that was clearly wide (as confirmed by the umpire) certainly didn't give them any belief that they were going to get justice.  In fairness it was hard hitting but nothing cynical and the ref done a reasonable job after that.  It takes that much effort for club's to win the Tyrone Club Championship that they always seem to be knackered by the time they reach the Ulster Club.  It is similar to the way the Ulster Inter County teams used to be when they won Ulster they could not perform in the All-Ireland.  Clontibret, St. Galls, St. Eunan's etc... dont have much opposition in their own county and can come into the Ulster Club with a freshness that Tyrone club's cant.

Are you long mad on?.....clontibret dont have much opposition within their own county? What about the fact they played Magheracloone in the quarters in Monaghan SFC and it went to a replay or the fact they went to a replay with Blayney in the semi final and beat them after extra time??? I was at the Dromore/Carrickmore semi which was billed as probably the 2 best teams in Tyrone playing.....i seen better Junior C football.

If memory serves Rocwell got another 3 year term when the Jersey was redesigned - by that logic they should have another year left

wouldnt it be great if tyrone football could live up to the standards of monaghan

Collie Holmes - modest; unassuming; underrated player and a very nice person, who has given 16 years to the Tir Eoghain cause. Not many can say that.
Pity that the old "internals" caused him to see out his playing career in Armagh.

'
Didn't know Holmes was around in 1996. That's a long stint. Was excellent in 2nd half of 2005 final, came on and cleaned out Kirby setting up Tyrone's 2nd half dominance.

It's a pity you missed the final.
