Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[square_ball]

Amazingly we could be in an AI semi final without really being tested (especially if Armagh win - we would destroy them in CP).

The break will do us no harm - get the batteries recharged and go again.

Dont see any need to change the 15 that started yesterday - great competition for places.

Thought McClure & Collie were excellent yesterday

I'd definitely have McClure starting think he has done enough to get a start now at this stage. Other than that I think the team more or less picks itself at this stage. I do think Cavanagh would be better as an impact sub at this stage of his career but there is no doubting he will be starting in Croke Park. Was he given the curly finger yesterday or taken off to be 'rested'?

I didnt notice it at the time but watching it back last night he seemed to give MH a death stare on the way off.

He has played worse and stayed on in the past so good to see him being given the 'curly finger'

Agree when McClure came on he lifted the side.  Competition for places is brilliant and there are so many options that we can bring on to make an impact.  McGeary be could under pressure to hold his place.  He didn't last long vs Derry and had an early shower vs Down.

Mickey may think this is the first time big Sean could be done with out??

Cant see Sean not starting, he is probably still the 1st name on the team sheet and especially moving into Croke Park where he usually finds another gear. 

Interestingly he invited Colm to jointly lift the Anglo Celt yesterday, is he suggesting Colm as a future/next Tyrone Captain?  Is Mattie still VC?

[square_ball]

Cavanagh still lifted the trophy by himself. Colm was just there to mind the childer!

Jeepers lads do you still not know the draw.
It's all on the GAA website or on wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_All-Ireland_Senior_Football_Championship#All-Ireland_Quarter-Finals

Dublin and Tyrone play Round 4B winners so it's a draw but like the one for Connacht and Munster it may be already determined as teams are not meant to meet someone they've already played.
So if Armagh and Monaghan come through then Tyrone and Dublin have not already met them so it's a open draw.

Re Sean. I really can't see Mickey not start him but should we get to the semifinal, he certainly would be a great man to come on against the Dubs and lift the whole team, the way Canavan did back in 2003 AI final. Whilst he doesn't have the youthful exuberance of some players any more, he still has a lot of experience and leadership qualities to that team, as well as being able to kick over long range points.

Sean taken off yesterday due to yellow card

He took some aggreivation yesterday

A second yellow  or red would mean that he wouldn't be allowed to lift the cup

Penny for the thoughts of Kyle Coney today. Supremely gifted. Stormed off the panel because he was subbed in a mckenna cup game.18month later and 2 ulster championships in the bag...

A waste of talent, unfortunately there are a few in Tyrone football that fall into this bracket

Head the ball!

Is there a throw in time set for the quarterfinal yet?

[The Golden Years]

If Mickey drops Aidan MCrory and is a bit more adventurous and plays the likes of Brennan who can defend and attack  then Tyrone will be there or abouts. For someone who hasn't an attacking bone in his body McCrory plays in a very offensive role.

I think he was taking off because he wasn't having a great game.  mcCarron was also on a yellow card from early on and he wasnt taking off and he was playing a position that picking up a yellow card could curtail your performance.  Its the way it should be, if your under performing, your taking off no matter who you are.  Especially with the strong panel tyrone have.

Using McCarron as an example only adds to the argument made that a second yellow wouldn't permit Sean to lift the cup.  McCarron was subsequently red carded and left the game early.

Although I would agree that Sean wasn't having the best of games by his exceptional standards.  He still had 2 points and most of the game attracted 2 down players anywhere he went.
