Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Not many on mouthing about Tyrone management tonight I see!

Their Ford Anglias probably broke down enroute to the game.

Tyrone let of the leash and players allowed to show their talent today....excellent to watch.....imagine watching them play a similar style in Croker against the dubs......would be a fantastic spectacle......only problem with today was that Donegal couldn't live with them and it was too easy and over as a contest a long way out......

Let of the leash? Really? They played the same way they always play except a lot of key men performed really well and our shooting was excellent.

Encouraging stuff all round today. Sludden really is a class act while C-Cav, McCann and Donnelly performed very well.

Not from Tyrone but from skimming this thread over the past few months it's clear that there's a good few posters that haven't one clue about football. Talk about utter dung being talked. Harte masterminds a rout of Donegal and Peter harte, mccann and mcrory all excel

Fair play to Tyrone today. Some really impressive performances but how can you say Mccrory excelled? He is a serious weak link in the Tyrone chain and as the old saying goes your only as strong as your weakest link. I say he has touched the ball 10 times in 140 + minutes of football. Tyrone have some serious talent on the bench that Mccrory is keeping out of the time And I just don't understand how he starts week in week out.

How was that the same as tyrone have played in the last couple of years? Long kick outs were a massive and very welcome addition. Making 5 or goal chances for a team that usually don't make any...    could have scored 4 25 today......pushing up on Donegal kick outs was another new dimension......they all worked.........and will work because tyrone have very good players.

You're displaying symptoms of football snobbery. You dont need to be able to kick a 40yard pass off the outside of your weaker foot to deserve a place on a team. He's not there to get on the ball. His role is to nullify the opposition go to men. His teammates sure value him and that's what counts.
By the way, he didn't excel, that was tongue in cheek. Just makes mes me laugh the calls for him to be benched that ive read this year

Thats because they got back to playing football which is what we wanted!! Management listened! Shows what they should have been doing all along. Excellent today.

Football snobbery? Being able to kick the ball with your stronger foot would help.

Did you get excited Trap?
It's been a long time since we beat a decent team that convincingly.
Of course some will question how poor Donegal were today but Tyrone put on a show today and kicked some great scores. No doubt the critical analysts will again point to our inability to take goals and that could prove costly in tougher games.

Colm Cavanagh certainly surpassed his brother today I thought and must be one of the top midfielders in the country.

Tyrone played the same system they always play today - getting 13/14 men behind the ball
And break at pace - that is no different to what they have done over the last two years. There was no change of style. The only difference today was that they scored65% of their shots
They didn't kick the usual 13-15 wides that we usually get!
They have always created a lot of scoring chances despite being labelled as being all out defensive
For example against Dublin in the league this year they created almost double the amount of scoring chances that Dublin did, against Mayo it was a very high total - but in both games they kicked a massive amount of wides/ shorts.
The difference today was no change in tactics or style - they just managed to convert a lot more chances

Yeah, that's fairly true though our kick out strategy was much more adventurous. We went direct which allowed us more space to get into and I think Donegal also allowed us to play unlike they did last year. For me Colm Cavanagh was the main man today, lorded it at midfield and was the platform for our dominance, a great target for Morgan to hit and we fed off him.

Good to see Conall McCann making the most of his opportunity.

I was excited by that fuzzman.....might go to the Ulster final......haven't been at a county match since the borefest ulster final last year...let's hope the new expressive approach continues......if it is monaghan as expected I believe tyrone have the pace to burn them too.....

Nonsense, you are a complete slabber, at least stick to your guns.

Tyrone were the exact same yesterday it just clicked and Donegal were done for when they went a few behind.

Also can't see the McCrory thing, yes he is quick and serious engine gets around the pitch but keeps popping up in the attack and usually we miss a chance because of it. Not blaming him but hes a corner back. Also, what does lee brennan have to do, mc curry and o'neill were abysmal

Top of the head and face burned to a crisp!!! Enjoyed some lovely pints after the game just so delighted with the performance yesterday...Dont care what Donegal where like to be honest,one game at time,performing like yesterday will win a lot of games bring on the Ulster final now...Wont get carried away yet as we have been warned but by god i left Clones last night after a few scoops with a very happy car load....only downside was some Donegal supporters near where i was, behaviour was shocking.....
