Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[RedHandTom]

The media coverage over the last few days is embarressing. I don't think its going to end here either. The bit Im struggling with is, would a senior player really write to a radio station?? I have my doubts and would be suspicious about the whole thing.

As for our county boards handling of the sledging allegation with Donegal. Horrible stuff. We basically accepted a sweep it under the carpet solution by the ulster council which means most neutrals still believe it happened, or no smoke without fire, as it was put to me on a few occasions.

RHTOM, what is ur suspicion? do you think a tyrone senior player actually sent this email?

I've nothing to base this on but my gut instinct tells me that no player sent an email. There are factions at county board level and I suspect this could be one of them trying to stir it up and expose things that are normally kept quiet.

and who could possibly benefit from this smear campaign against county board, roisin jordan?

The Newstalk report specifically said it was verified with a phone call to a member of the panel. There's no reason to doubt that. I know I heard of similar reports especially regarding mileage rates and expenses going back 4-5 years. It is odd that Jordan in particular was mentioned, I'd have thought the Treasurer might have taken more off the stick

This is all well and good, but people will sneer, bitch and comment. Then come AGM time there will be no opposition to any of the main roles.

People cried and moaned about fixtures last year. Come December and the County AGM the best person available for the job was elected.

I can't understand why the players are complaining, lots of club players have to make a contribution towards the cost of the manager. With the size of the backroom team there are obviously big salaries (expenses) to be paid.

Omagh pitch let's us all down again ......

Its beyond a joke at this stage. Far too many big games called off in Healy cos of a drop of rain.

Wholly concur

On the face of it it looks a token gesture from the players, and much appreciated. Very few primadonnas I'd imagine. Nobody ever asks the costs of being a supporter of county or and club Gaa. Damn expensive!

An article which appears to explain financial problems but then goes into the area of player issues..........

What are the players not getting that they'd spend an extra 1/2 million quid on?

There was a lot of rain on Sat night and especially Sunday morning so I think most pitches around the country were water logged. Omagh is of course always prone to this and so you would imagine at this stage there would be some better communication set up between the Omagh officials and the referee that they could take pictures of the ground and send them to the ref. It's not that hard to go out on the pitch and let a ball drop into the puddles to see how bad it is.

Could the decision not have been made hours before the throw in time so that it could have been communicated to both teams and fans alike. With the technology people have on their phones now it would have been easy to record a video or an Omagh official walking around the pitch and then sending that to the ref so he can make a call even if he hasn't left home yet.
Has this not been discussed before by the county board or does nobody just want to take ownership of the problem?
