Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Dire Ear]

Would he let them play like footballers,  or robots?

What does that even mean? Why do you think they play like robots, is it because you heard Joe Brolly say it?

If you mean would Paddy Tally have Tyrone play in a fixed defensive system with forwards funnelling back behind the ball then yes, he absolutely would.

I don't listen or read Brollys stuff anymore,  I think he's a bullshitter.  Tally, from what I've seen allows players to play to their strengths , unlike Tyrone who brings better footballers down to a level where they all play the same way ie usually looking beside or behind them instead of driving forward.  The confidence is run out of them, in my humble opinion

before any talk of tactics or gameplans, the next manager needs to be much less divisive than mickey. we need someone who  the whole county can get behind and bring a bit of much needed positivity. im not sure he is a top class coach yet but for this reason alone im still with mc gleenan.

The power of positivity that is exactly what Tyrone need. Is their any at the minute? NO. As I have alluded to before these players are mentally shattered after last August. It was interesting listening to some of the punditry around Arsene Wenger at the weekend for it may aswell have been Mickey they were talking about..

[Fuzzman]

Yeah the Wenger comparison has been made a lot by people recently and I can see why.

A good season for me would be beat a Mayo or Kerry in the semis but I fear we've reached a plateau and what saddens me is I can't see me being entertained during the summer getting to the last 8.

Are they not gonna team this week then?

Any word on the subs? Are McShane and McClure injured? Good attacking looking team although I've yet to be convinced by McNulty

[Dire Ear]

No subs mentioned,  I suppose attack is the way to go at this stage,  up the the men further out to get the quality pass in.  Keep expecting more from McNulty myself, hope he comes good

Has the Harry Loughran trial finished? He's a big forward with an eye for goal, and he played very little despite having an unbelievable club season.  Id like to see him given a run in the side so we can judge is he the standard required.  He did grab a goal in the McKenna Cup final.

Ciaran McLaughlin and Frank Burns also notable absences from the subs - is it just me or are we receiving less information about injuries within the panel these days?

Harry Loughran scored 1-1 from play in the McKenna cup final and after his great club campaign and with the physically he could offer to our otherwise small forward line surely he is at least worth a place on the bench. So since he is not listed I would assume he is injured, however it would be nice for info like this to be included in the midweek papers for interested supporters.

Be a massive fan of this forward line.
Mattie Niall Sludden & Peter Harte in the half forward line i think is our best line up going forward.

Best team of the year so far. Exciting forward line. If they play on the front foot it should be a good game. Best of luck Tir eoghain.

He may be a clubman of mine but what has Frank Burns done on Micky Harte since he was awarded man of the match against Antrim in the mckenna cup. Has barely had a look in and now can't even make the 26. I think Tyrone's crying out for a scoring forward like Frank!

I'd say its more a case of who do you drop from that forward line?

If your entirely honest none of them are performing all that well otherwise we wouldn't be sitting on 1 win from 4!
