Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Quarterback]

Lets discuss what YOU would do if you were manager and what players YOUD play with the system you'd implement!

Here is my Team

Alternative Tyrone Team/Tactics

1. Niall Morgan - No Free Kick Duties - Still the best keeper in Tyrone
2. Mick Mc Kernan - The New Ricey
3. HP Mc Geary - Big Strong - Plays 3 for his club - Natural defender
4. Padraig Hampsey - Strong - Mean and a natural defender
5. Toss Up Between P Harte and Mc Cann - Probably Peter Harte given he is a better defender
6. Jonathan Munroe - Strong - Huge Miss to this team - Nasty - Would have developed into another gormley
7. Meyler - Exceptional Engine Has to start - needs to become a nasty bast**d
8. Colm Cavanagh - When Fit a tremendous footballer - play him as a midfielder not a sweeper - release him to get scores
9. Richard Donnelly - potential to get us a few scores and a big engine
10. Niall Sludden - Can Score and work - hard to mark
11. Mark Bradley - Best Forward in Tyrone - Fantastic Movement - Get this man on the ball in our half
12. Frank Burns - Can Kick a score - need men in the half forward line that can score and win their own ball, provide a presence - scores a lot for Pomeroy
13. Conor Mc Aliskey - will only get stronger following knee surgery
14. Mattie Donnelly - we are looking scores and presence in the full forward line - this man would give us another dimension - also wouldn't solo as much and hold play up
15. Lee Brennan - Free Kicks, would get more room if the focus was on Donnelly and Mc Alis

There is surely a mid-point between blind loyalty to Harte vs the pitchfork and torches brigade.

Like Arsene Wenger Harte has traded on an introduction of innovative tactics in his early days and a period of excellent results (combined with an existing squad of exceptional players).

Results have tailed off since then and an increasing degree of discontent has set in. The addition of a few bits of silverware (of varying worth)  has stemmed the tide a little, however any supporters I know have been pretty downbeat about Tyrone's chances of actually winning an AI since 2010 onwards.

A repeated failure to beat the big teams when it counts (and often when it doesn't) has not helped and the thrashing last year was catastrophic.

Now whether that's down to overall player quality, players on the day not performing, luck or the system..that's up for debate.

In any other walk of life however, Harte would be set targets. Achieve A in year 1, B in year 2, C in year 3 etc.

Unfortunately he doesn't seem to be held to account and yet that's how he should be judged - improvement year on year.

Ulster is a nice to have but it is increasingly irrelevent unless you have no ambitions beyond it.

For Tyrone progression should be QF, then SF, then Final, then AI Win. If he doesn't achieve progress each year (or havea solid reaosn for not doing so) then time for someone else to get involved

Would setting up Tyrone TV alah Arsenal TV be an idea. Theres bound be some nutters out there like STG and bigdog who would keep us entertained - "Harte out - you get me bluudd!"

You would have Meyler ahead of Tiernan McCann? I will have what you are smoking..

Be a good time to be a fly on the wall round the Moy. Philly Jordan writing for RTE says Sean Cavanagh's comments have made things difficult and that he is learning from the likes of Brolly and Spillane trying to create headlines.

Two high profile County and Club mates set out their stalls.

Sean tonight on radio Colm should not have been taken off.

To be fair, from what I hear, even the flies are looking out of the Moy these days.

[Tyrone Gaa]

Sean tonight on radio Colm should not have been taken off.

Missed that, is that all he said or was that the only reason he put forward for the defeat?

[skeog]

Said Colm would have made the difference going up the home straight with his know how and leadership quality.He said He stands by his comments last week.

He didn't seem to acknowledge that Colm was injured and implied it was tactical due to Mickey thinking McClure was a more attacking option. Is he suggesting Colm wasn't injured or is he just purposely trying to be controversial again? It's only a few weeks into the championship and Sean's Eamon Dunphy act is getting tiresome already. He's a big enough name already, he doesn't need the controversy to make it as a pundit.

[An Watcher]

There's no doubt a fit Colm Cavanagh would have made a difference but would an unfit one have?  Could he have made his injury worse by playing the full match? 

[omagh_gael]

Sean would want to wind the neck in at this stage. Fair enough he has a right to voice his opinion on Tyrone matters but he appears to be using  (abusing?) his position to create controversy in order to further his punditry career

[In hiding]

was Colm taken off because he was injured. If he was taken off because he ran out of steam then Sean is right  If Colm only had enough fitness for 35 mins it should have been in the second half
