Ulster Semifinal- Derry v Tyrone 21/6/09 Casement Park

[Fuzzman]

Good news about Stevie & Brian.
I was wondering was there any ill effects.

Where was the training Rois?

Thought Tyrone's tactics on Sunday past were a bit strange with most forwards having a very off day with maybe Stevie the only one to show any decent form.
Passing and shooting needs to improve a lot for this game & would like to see us revert to a 3 man FF line as it's so frustrating to see passes being hit into one or two forwards surrounded by 3 or 4 defenders.

Noticed often on Sunday as well Gormley & PJ left two on two which surprised me.

When will they decide on the venue?

Saturday evening, after the match in Cavan.

The Clann na Gael boys were both on top form at training tonight.  Both seemed to come through last weekend ok.

good to see mcconnell back @ full tilt as well,..... i reckon cassidy is gonna be out for a while, still on crutches!

[SidelineKick]

I think Mickey's was called 'How to survive having the personality of a shoe.'

Another book in the pipeline is 'Get rich quick: after dinner speeches and kid's presentations.'

Perhaps:

'There is a Sam Maguire in Tyrone. Three of them.'

Are you sure about that? I would assume it was the same one but has been there on 3 occasions, and not 3 Sam Maguires.  As I said I'm only assuming though.

I can think of 2 recent semis in Casement involving Tyrone.

2003 - defeated Antrim after a hairy start when Madden goaled from a penalty. Cavlan jumped like a salmon that day. 1999 when Down came from something like 7 behind to defeat Tyrone by a few. Linden scorched Paul McGurk on a roasting day.

Did Deccy McCrossan play centre half back that day, and IIRC knocked over a couple of points?

[Gaffer]

Amazing when you read that Tyrone team.

Holmes, Gourley, Dooher and S O'Neill  all still there 10 years later.

They deserve alot of credit for the years of service they have given Tyrone!

Whatever became of Shane Mullholland? Surely the Benny Coulter of that time
