Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Oh right didnt hear that about it being put on the back burner. Thought it would give players and all fans a big boost pre-championship to have  a new deal signed and sealed. Suppose we will just have to wait to winter now at this stage for him to be confirmed for another while.

Seemingly was suggested that would be discussed again after summer...Contract not up to December...

Good point there STG i agree with you i think he has done enough already this year too. McKenna Cup, retaining Division 1 status and hopefully a win in Celtic Park and either an Ulster title or a good run in the qualifiers and he'll have more than earned his extension.

Genuine question - do the likes of the above fella genuinely feel that Tyrone have by far the best panel of players in Ireland, to the extent that anything less than an AI victory is deemed an abject failure? What would be a successful season?

[southtyronegael]

at the minute a successfull season would be one in which the players enjoyed playing and the fans enjoyed watching. forget about all irelands.

Footballers and managers are not there to entertain, they're there to win.

Come on, stop being wishy washy. What would be successful? Ulster champions again?

[southtyronegael]

woulnt worry too much about ulster. if we beat one of the big 3 in croke park i could say we have made progress of sorts.

Fair enough. That definitely needs to be the next target, id actually agree with you.

[southtyronegael]

can it be done playing the way we do now?

can it be done playing the way we do now?

Not the way we played in the last few league games but last year I genuinely thought we had developed a balance between attack and defence in the early stages of the championship but we didn't bring that to the bigger games and seemingly have not evolved the attacking aspect of the game plan this year as I was expecting. However, we were only a kick if the ball from an AI final.

The question is can it be done playing an attacking style? I don't think we have the scoring forwards for a gun fight v Kerry or Dublin.

Are we happy to forsake a game plan that has kept us reasonably competitive relative to other big counties to go against the grain, come up with a different style, risk a few years in the wilderness and hope that we make it back?

[southtyronegael]

dont forget we only played well against the div 2 teams last year. we stuggled  last year and this year against the better teams which shows the limitations of our gameplan. and why would we not be able to go toe to toe with the other big counties?

Matter of interest are you involved with your club or have you played football at a high level ?
