Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[winghalfback]

If I was picking the team for this Sunday
1 M O'Neill
2 R Mc Namee
3 Justin Mc Mahon
4 C Mc Carron
5 P Harte
6 M Donnelly
7 R Mc Nabb
8 C Cavanagh
9 P Mc Nulty
10 C Mc Shane
11 S Cavanagh
12 T Mc Cann
13 D Mc Curry
14 C Mc Aliskey
15 Joe Mc Mahon

This team would play the same type of game plan Tyrone are playing. Justy would pick up Murphy Mc Namee would pick up Mc Brearty Joe would drop back in and play sweeper as would the half forward line leaving the two main scoring threats inside the 45 to do the damage. Mc Aliskey Joe Mc Curry can all kick dead balls off the ground from 50 yards out Big Sean also can kick frees so no need for morgan in that regard also Mickey is a more physical presence in the defensive goal.

Probably be nowhere near the team hence i'm not the Tyrone manager. Just a bit of craic.

think mickey o neill will start for morgan who remains doubtful and richard donnelly will start in place of mccann. joe will hardly start if he does that would tell me all i need to know about this current set up. sean cavnagh is a huge doubt as well. cant believe that hamsey hasnt been called up.

[Norf Tyrone]

Norf Tyrone, a player who transfers back to his home county (or 'first county' as the rule book states) is not subject to the same ruling as someone who leaves their home county for another. This means McCarron is able to play.

Ah right. Good man. McCarron has had an impressive return.

[Norf Tyrone]

Don't hear Michael Cassidy getting many mentions on here. I think in the few games I seen him he'll be a powerful player.

Not yet but could be blooded very soon.

and from all those who thought it was Mickey pulling the championship forward to suit the return the silence is deafening...

I cant believe that you think there is ANY chance of Harte calling up Hampsey!

Agree 100% - there is NO chance of Hampshey getting a call up to senior squad when MH is in charge. IMO he is worth a go as we need a couple of specialist defenders in the full back line and both Ruairi Mullan and he should be given a chance.

[Legoman5]

Hampsey will never be called up under Harte!
Previously Des Tracey was in the same boat, won All Ireland with the U21s, went on to have an incident in a match against Mark Harte and then that was it, finished top scorer in Div 1 for 3 years on the bounce and was one around the county to be one of the best club players in the county and a dead ball expert and still I dont think even got a trial!

[Under Lights]

Talk of Morgan starting out the pitch this weekend

Why wouldn't Hampsey get a call up under Mickey Harte?

Dont shoot the messenger, but i think most people are talking about the hanlon in coalisland last year in the league game near the end of the year when petey harte and paudi were fighting

[TF15]

No additional players  have been called up as yet, this will probably happen after club championship first round.

On the team I'm not sure about what side will line up but Conor Clarke will start and pick up Murphy, I'd be pretty sure of that.

[Fuzzman]

I forgot all about big Clarke. How is he playing for Omagh?
He did ok on Murphy before didn't he?
Maybe play him, Sean and Joey at FF to try something new. Only messing. Can never see Mickey do that.

Can anyone tell me something about Richard Donnelly. Being down in Dublin with 10 kids I don't know much about the club scene any more back home.
Where does he play and is he any good?

That's a disgrace if Mickey is not picking a good player just for personal reasons but I am not surprised by Mr Stubborn.
Will be interesting to see the reaction at the Club Tyrone event tonight when  Mickey names the team. I believe he gets very uncomfortable about people asking him questions about why he picked certain players

[Soup an Samajiz]

ach it would be a disgrace if he wasn't picking them for personal reasons yes, but at the same time there are practicalities to think of, if their relationship is totally broken down from the start and there's obviously severe discourse between hampsey and current panelists its very understandable, would just absolute recipe for disaster in the changing room, manager's job to weigh up the pros and cons and with all that's went on I'd say its fair enough decision

Like England cricket with KP I think any manager would be completely in the wrong in your instance. The best managers are able to manage that situation. When United won the treble in 1999 their forward line Cole and Sherringham weren't speaking. They never got on and at times it got heated. Ferguson, as much as it pains me, was able to manage this situation and use it as a positive driver for the team.
