Under no circumstances would i talk about mccarrons personnal life on here..... i am only talking about his performances for Tyrone i think he does not look as fit as he was he has bulked up too much imo...

In footballing terms cathal McCarron is a nobody. Don't really care about his book especially after he started demonizing the IRA who are extinct. Fergus would care to remember this is a staunchly Republican county were young men have died for their community.

What sort of shit are you on about? This is a football forum, stick on topic or feck off.

I too thought McCarron looked a bit off the pace especially in the first half. He looked content to let Moran get out in front and win the ball and lay it off. For the goal he is a yard or two behind him and then when he passed it off McCarron points at Parsons who McCurry had lost and Colm was trying to get back but was out of position.
Usually Cathal would be out in front of his man or at least competing with him for the ball.
It will be interesting to see how he fares this Sunday against Kerry. I see their U21s hammered Cork last night.

I have a feeling both Donegal and Monaghan could lose this weekend so hopefully we can end the league with an away win as the mood is somewhat despondent of late. Kerry have lost to Mayo and Monaghan at home and drew with the Dubs.

Lads keep the chat about football if ye can.

Some absolute garbage on here from boys who have clearly never kicked a ball in their life. So much hysteria to. You seem to think it is your duty on this to start a campaign to get mickey out. Think yous are using the wrong forum lads but not suprising because most I would imagine aren't even involved with their clubs.

You do not want to be peaking this time of the year, yes there are problems to work on but that's football. No manager would come in with the midas touch and change things. You should be getting behind the team and management and worry about who you want in and out at the end of the year.

I suspect a few aren't actually from tyrone but jesus its depressing to listen to.

2 big losses for kilarney would be a big ask to get anything down there but we'll give er a lash!

Dear oh dear. Bad few weeks for Tyrone supporters. 21s well beat by Donegal missing a host of players and missing a penalty. Seniors look to be flat and running out of ideas. All the while club football is on life support with the life getting sucked out of it due to the focus in all ways on goings on up in Garvaghey.

That hole 'story' about Donegal missing a load of players was dung.

Interesting red hand defender but we need red hand attackers... we're going sideways at best but mostly backwards

If Tyrone were winning every game there would be slabbers on here giving off that they are peaking too early by doing too much, as it is they are doing ok but again this isn't good enough for most people.  I would hope that Harte is looking at the bigger picture and is looking for the team to peak in the summer, but I still worry over our apparent lack of a plan B, lack of a real top drawer forward or 2, inability to press on kickouts and our inability to score frees.  Mickey Harte is a great manager but change is required.

Do you mean inability to press on kickouts or a definite tactic not to press up on kickouts

There is plenty I wish he would do, in my head if he done it it would work perfectly, in reality I haven't a clue and I could just say woops in my head and go back to slating him for the mistakes he makes. He is where he is for a reason so shout about what you would like to see fair enough but cut the hysteria and dilusion in your own head that your changes are the answer

I see Mattie Donnelly has been given a 1 match ban for punching Aidan O'Shea at the end of last weeks game, big miss for the Kerry match

[Fuzzman]

As one of the Mayo posters wrote on a different thread, most teams know now how Tyrone are gonna set up and play.
They expect us to play 13/14 men behind the ball. They expect us to not push up for kickouts. They expect us to miss frees from 35+ yards.

My point is we have become very predictable and I think that is why Mickey was toying with the idea of playing Sean and Mattie in at FF. Personally I think "The System" has become a bit of a noose around our neck that we are far too rigid in keeping to. Too often I see players in forward positions scared to take a man on in fear he will lose possession and so turn back and recycle. Sludden and maybe McGeary seems to be one of the few to try to break a tackle and push through into a scoring position. This is why we are not creating goal scoring chances or even good point scoring opportunities as teams are happy to keep us out on the wings 40 yards from goal.

Does anyone know do our players practice free taking on their own as much as they used to or are they too busy doing other stuff? From what I hear free taking requires a lot of practice from week to week but I am asking does our lads still do that or are they working on other stuff. It just seems amazing that this problem doesn't seem to be improving from year to year. Of course players can have an off day like Petey last Sunday but it is the one thing that could be gaining us 4 or 5 more points a game. Would it not even be worth bringing young Brennan in JUST for his free taking duties now that the U21s are over?

Just a question for your head then. Are you saying that everyones opinion that is not the same as mickey harte(or maybe gavin devlins), are wrong
