Tyrone v Kildare Part II - The Revenge Div 2 NFL Final Sunday 29th April 2012

[EC Unique]

Are people forgetting about Mattie Donnelly or just not rating him? He had a great start to the year and I think he can not be far away from a start again when fit.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Donnelly playing the full forward role that McKenna did. He must have been injured on Sunday though cause wasn't named on the bench. Thought he did very well against Derry in the league.

Any word on Aiden McCrory?

Any word on Aiden McCrory?

Ok. Returned on the team bus.

Petie had his off day hoPefully on Sunday, was totally anonymous, he will be better the next day, the clambouring to accommodate Sean at the teams expense is frightening.  We all know he hasn't been himself for 3 seasons.

No doubt you'd start McKenna before him lol. Listen if Tyrone are going to do compete with the top teams this year they're going to need Cavanagh back playing well. I thought he showed signs of improvement in the second half on Sunday. He hasn't reached the heights of 2008 in the last few years but the potential is still there. I've no doubt if he stays injury free he'll improve as the year goes on. I also think people were very harsh on Gormley - he was poor on Sunday but we seen last year it can take him a while to get into things after a break.

I have no doubt Tyrone will be better prepared come the championship. A few players like Cassidy, Gormley and Cavanagh got much needed game time. I think a change in nets will definitely happen come championship and should improve things a bit. Would also be hopeful of a fit Justin McMahon. Not to concerned about losing a division 2 final though certain performances and the way the team played were worrying.

LOL ironically Mc Kenna had a much better game than both on Sunday - his marker didnt do the damage that theirs did and was involved in play much more, but its childish to play the guys off against each other to win your point.   Id agree with you totally that Tyrone need a strong competitive Sean Cavanagh on the field to have any hope of winning anything this year, and if you think thats likely to be the case then Ill take that.  Even if a player goes off the boil and has poor luck and the efforts still there ye must give the time.  Unfortunately there was a few saying after Sunday that the body language wasnt indicating huge interest.

Form is temporary, class is permanent.
S Cav, S O'Neill, E Mulligan etc etc have still got it.  One bad day and all yous think is doom and gloom.
Get yer heads out of yer arses, Tyrone will have more of a say than Kildare this year come business end of the season.  Would Kerry, Dublin, Cork rather face Tyrone or Kildare?  Division 2 finals mean nothing, Tyrone are still the most feared team in Ireland.  Mickey Harte has more management skill in his little finger than any other manager full-stop.  We'll walk Ulster and Sam is ours if we get the breaks.

WOW, ive never read such bullshit in my life.  Talk about sweeping a poor performance under the carpet, that ought to fix the issues right out

I'd be happy with that team blewuporstuffed but I'd still prefer to have a 3 man FF line or at least stop all this mindless running into traffic tactic. I've seen too much of it now and its sore on the eyes

Think the 2 man FF line can work, would like to see Seany C up there will O'Neill.  You would imagine on their day, they would take a bit marking.  I would agree with BUOS FF line and let Penrose roam as he usually does.

Mickey signs on for another 3 years.
