Would Munroe senior (his dad) be a fan of Harte I wonder or is there anti Errigal Ciaran feelings there?
You would imagine it won't be the last we'll see of young Jonathon.

I was thinking about the season ahead and was trying to remember when was the last time Tyrone lost an Ulster final. 2005 we drew with Armagh and they won the controversial replay but you have to go back a good while before we lost one before that.

harte should be ashamed of himself the way he is treating the players and the people of tyrone.

disappointing about monroe, had a real edge and composure to his play anytime I seen him, the hit on mcglynn in last years ulster final was fantastic, but on the other hand it shows his desire to his club and not wanting to hang around the fringes

Thought he would have been a starter this year given what he brought to the team. Has he left due to work commitments or travel? Or due to lack of playing time?

Strange one this year with Munroe. He started every McKenna cup game and played well up until the Final when i understand he was away on a skiing holiday. He then started the first league game v Roscommon and while he had a quieter game (understandable for a man just back from holiday) he scored a point and I wouldn't say he performed badly, although he was taken off in the second half . From then on he was very much on the fringes of the side for the remainder of the league, not starting any of the last 6 games.

Looking at the volume of games he started early in the year it looked like he was being groomed to play a big part this summer. Then something seemed to switch after the Roscommon game - we can only speculate but was management not happy with him going on holiday during the season, or with his condition when he returned? Regardless, I think everyone on here would agree that he has got twice the footballing ability of Aiden McCrory, is also a solid defender and adds a bit of steel to our side. So I would imagine the chances that McCrory continues to get at the expense of the likes of Munroe, Burns, Hugh Pat would not go do well with the lads concerned

TWICE the footballer

I think your being EXTREMELY generous to Mc Crory in that Statement. Lad is 10 Times the Footballer. Can any Carmen poster confirm or deny why he left??

The lad wants to play football and he's not going to get it sitting on a bench for Tyrone.  Better off playing for his club and keep improving as a player.  The likes of the Brennans and Burns should do the same for the chances of them playing is slim.  If your not in the reckoning by now you won't be.

[Il Bomber Destro]

Very hasty from Munroe, he may not have been a starter but he was certainly in the picture and it would only take an injury or two for him to move into a starting place. PJ Lavery made a similar decision two years ago when he was getting a lot of action off the bench.

Hope to see Munroe back playing for Tyrone again in the future though.

[southtyronegael]

monroe like a lot of other lads will be back when mickey is gone. people seem surprised that a player has left the panel? they dont like harte and the current setup and im just surprised monroe is the only one who has walked.

I can understand a lad making a personal choice to want to play for his club rather than training so hard with the county to be maybe 3rd or 4th choice sub. He probably thought after last year's good displays that he could push his way into the starting team this year but maybe he felt he was being punished a bit for taking the skiing holiday as most of us would have expected to see a bit more of him during the league. With Hampsey taking McCrory's place at corner back I would imagine he was annoyed when Mickey started to play McCrory at wing back then.

I don't see it as such a big deal as we have several players of similar ability and I would imagine we'll see him back again in the years ahead.

I also think we'll finally see Lee Brennan get more of a run out this year and probably Mulgrew. Our forwards have been very disappointing the last year with only Bradley showing any reason for us to get excited when he gets the ball.

That's not really true. He will play in 2/3's of the league games for Carrickmore and the championship. He's already featured in 7 or 8 games for Tyrone this year so it's not as if he hasn't got any time. He played in last years championship as well so there is a fair chance he would have got more time with Tyrone this year. In the last three or four years Killyclogher, Omagh and Trillick have won the championship with a number of tyrone panellists prominent who hadn't featured that much so it didn't do them any harm.

It's a pity he didn't hang about as had did well at times for Tyrone and wasn't afraid to get stuck in.

Johnny left as he wasnt enjoying the whole Tyrone set up.  There was no fun in it.  Children get into football because it is something they enjoy doing and continue to play into their adult life as the enjoyment is still there.  Once the enjoyment goes what is the point putting in the effort that is required especially when you playing second fiddle to Aidan McCrory.  He was telling me that club football is were the enjoyment is for him and thats what he wants to play.  He also told me that there is a lot of other young lads that are not enjoying it but afraid / having the balls to to leave.
