Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Christmas Lights]

First thing that needs to happen, no matter who is in charge, is that Tyrone coaches shouldn't be double jobbing with clubs. Tyrone at times this year didn't look sharp, looked jaded. Energy comes from coaching, if coaches burnt out due to clubs then it affects players. 100% focus needs to be on county, players are asked to remove themselves from clubs during county season so why is it acceptable for coaches not to do the same?

Totally agree with this.

I thought club cloaches would be with county until they're out of championship...then go back into club coaching?

Agree totally on this. In fact, I believe the coaches have got off lightly in view of the season we have just had. The blame is pointed at Logan & Dooher but the coaches have to accept responsibilities also - they plan the sessions, do the coaching, the conditioning....

there should be a overhaul anyway..the backroom team has been there 3 years..should be natural attrition t this stage

Two great semi-finals over the weekend. How far behind are we? Two really bad years football for Tyrone...what next?

In terms of footballing ability we aren't that far behind but a massive change in attitude is required.
Another season of going through the motions would be unacceptable and if that means dropping guys from the panel like McGeary, Burns, O'Neill and Sludden who all seem content with 1 All-Ireland then so be it.

[An Watcher]

The panel is the problem.  The best players in the county aren't on it.  You can accept a couple of drop outs for different reasons but a whole raft is unacceptable.  If they can sort this out then they can start sorting things on the pitch better

You'd look at that game today and think Derry definitely would have beaten us by 6 minimum again this year in the championship.

Much faster in transition and hungrier.

[NotedObserver]

Any word on management? Surely half forwards in Tyrone can kick points and track men?

Hard to argue with that assessment, in reality.

Who knows. The 3 games in 3 weeks was prob a big factor again Kerry

[An Watcher]

I hadn't really factored this into tyrones performance.  Need to be aiming for an Ulster title or final appearance next year in advance of group stages

[Mikhailov]

Nearly sure Monaghan played 3 weeks in a row also and actually won their 3rd game after ET. Possibly we are reading too much into although admittedly, every week break you get allows injuries to recover.

I've never seen Derry play as well. They went positive.. but for the first time lads...

[sam03/05]

Yeah they were the only team that won and that was a pen shoot out against a team much on a par to them. There is no way Mayo are 12 points off Dublin. The 3 games in 3 weeks is certainly a factor, as mentioned by Comer on Sunday game yesterday

I could give some credit to the 3 weeks in a row thing if Tyrone hadn't served up total shite for the last 2 years.
It wasn't as though this performance was an outlier. It was quintessential.
