Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Thebigdog]

Harte receives a lot more abuse off the ball than any other player on the team. He's harassed and bullied and gets no protection from referees or team mates. Referees need to make their helping officials more aware of these sledging matches.

I believe that affected Darren hughes and not beggan when talking about missing the international series due to scotstown championship campaign? although they were later flown out after the first test.

sledging is part of the game. The noughties team were the masters of it. It should be embraced. As for Peter getting protection from others. Would he protect them? Probably not. It wouldn't surprise me if other players resented Mickey s nephew. I would.

LOL, you resent him because you couldnt lace his boots?

I've been lacing by boots/shoes since I was seven. Pretty sure lacing his boots wouldn't be a problem. What a knob.

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

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

meyler looked a fair bit ahead on t mc cann on Sunday.

on one game, what has he done better than McCann in the last few years they have both been on the panel?

It was noticeable when Meyler took McCanns jersey for the last few league games the team looked a lot more cohesive and got results, that much has already been mentioned on here. McCann has been a mainstay of the team for a number of years and while admittedly he is a very good athlete his football nous has been called into question a few times, I tend to agree with that, he's a GAA athlete as they say and Mickey has fallen for this nonsense in recent years tending to prefer players with great GPS metrics and overlooking other parts of their game.

Its worth mentioning too that Mickey has frozen Meyler out at times over the last couple of years and reduced him to the role of training ground fodder when he should have been much closer to the team, if not starting.

Meyler is a fab footballer. He gave a smashing, diagonal pass all of 40 metres into Brennan I think it was.something I've never seen t mc cann do.

I would have preferred a half back line of Meyler, Burns and K McGeary.

I would have preferred a half back line of Meyler, Burns and K McGeary.

that was the half back line that finished the league strongly. Why did mickey have to tamper with it?

No, it wasn't. The half backline v Kerry included Rory Brennan and Ronan McNabb, in Mayo and v Donegal it was Harte and Meyler...Burns was at 6 in all 3 games.

I think McNabb slows the play down, Rory Brennan hasn't started and finished a Tyrone for some time. Although Burns seemed quiet vs Monaghan he should be given a chance to gain more confidence at No.6.

Burns was quiet? I'd have had him and McAliskey as our best performers on the day.

Seemed quiet- as compared to his performance against Kerry.

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

If you think his criticism was bad have a look at mulligans views on the match in the irish star. He says starting 3 injured players was criminal. Also critical of tyrone during the league.

[skeog]

Game against Kerry was glorified challenge game more passion in Sallys on a weekend night.

Are these former players all just trying to make a name as being a controversial pundit and further their own brand?
