However tyrone as a unit are incredibly hard to score against

Don't know where people are putting in Philly Mcmahon?? If any of use have been watching games this year he has been getting a run around. Jack mccarron roasted him on Sunday if it would not of been for clucko he would have got at least a goal to go along with his points. Overrated big time as a man marker

He is a fair bit better than our man markers to be honest. Mc crory is not good enough and mc carron has lost a yard. Always seemed to be a yard behind clarke on saturday.  Just my opinion mind you. I'm assuming you agree with the rest of the selection or do you only worry about corner backs

Is he ? How do you see he is better than McNamee and McCarron? McCrory doesn't even man mark, do you follow Tyrone ? Thought McNamee and McCarron where as good as ever on sat and I know a lot of people would agree with me on that. Tiernan mccann not in your half back line either and dean rock would be no where near my full forward line, only thing the man does is take frees. Poor from play imo

I have worries over McCarron, two silly red cards in two games and he definitely seems to have lost a bit of pace and tightness. Clarke gave him a bit of a run around last Saturday and only for some poor finishes would have taken McCarron for four or five points from play.

Clarke also had 2 shots... Clarke is one of the best in the business think keeping 1 of the top forwards in the county is a credit to any defender. Top forwards are always going to win some ball out in front, I do recall Clarke winning a few along with Cathal. Anyhow I think we are primed to beat Dublin, I think our time has come. No better time than the now

There's no doubting Clarke is a very good player but I thought McCarron came off worse in that battle. He did pick up a knock at the very start and maybe that was why but I don't think he has been at last year's level at all yet. He looks like he may have lost a yard of space.

The match ups will be interesting for Dublin, it's very hard to predict who will start in the Dublin forward line. I think McCarron is best suited to the physical match ups and McNamee more suited to a slippery customer. McCarron has done well on the likes of Kieran Hughes and Murphy. He has to stop picking up these really needless yellow cards because if he gets one against Dublin then he will be a liability and he will be targeted.

I imagine Mickey will make a few left of field changes for Dublin. Rory Brennan hasn't started this season but would expect him to come in and pick up Kilkenny, if Connolly plays inside then I think McCarron is probably the guy we have who is best able to match him physically.

Anyone having problems getting tickets for Sunday.

Demand supposed to be very high. I heard a few Clubs are struggling to meet demand.

[omagh_gael]

Our club (lough) sent out a text saying demand out stripped allocation. Don't know how they'll manage it!

You could always go back to Omagh for you're allocation

Thanks Goals_Will_Come. I'll set the recorder as hope to be there.

I'll stick with the Lough for now and hope that my u6 coaching will give me a bump up the allocation ladder!

It should be interesting on here for a day or two

Even Tyrones biggest and most faithful supporters have to be questioning today's performance. With other Ulster teams results it shows how bad Ulster football is at the minute and the 2 titles are worth very little. Still no where near the level of the top 3 and yet to even contest against them in a competitive championship Game. No Plan B so evident it was Embarrassing today to stick to the structure and let Dublin hop the ball about in the middle third at ease

Need to calm myself down first.

Harte needs to be given a 3 year contract immediately. He has brought the team on and progress is evident.

Just back from a horrendous day in croker.

Due to the fact he doesnt want to go and is desperate to stay on id imagine micky will leave tyrone senior management in the same manner he arrived ..... controversially.  It's all becoming strangely similar to arsene wenger at arsenal as in both have been there a long time with great initial success but havent hit the big time for quite a while and when it looks like it will be turned around with cup wins (fa cup/Anglo celt and similarly winning 2 in a row) they bow out with a lacklustre performance. 

Dublin will most likely cement their place second only to the great kerry team with a win against mayo so for me it means either tyrone dont have the right players to compete at the very top or they need a change in direction.  I've saw before the stats on all Ireland quarter final and semi final appearances in recent years so either we are happy with that and reward him with more years or move on to try and get back to the pinnacle of the football ladder.

We don't make the decisions but I'm sure we can all agree if it was anybody else from managing from 2009 to now they wouldn't have lasted this long.

Thoughts?
