Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Baile an tuaigh · September 06, 2018, 04:19:41 PM

The low diagonal ball aimed at the extra man (the corner flag) is the hardest one to defend against. Armagh under Joe McKernan played it to great effect. They use it in hurling almost religiously. Corner forwards know instinctively to sprint to the corner flag when their team is attacking from opposite wing. Space means a little second more on the ball. You can turn and burn or draw the foul. The key is to aim for the side line side of the corner flag so you don't put it out of play thus handing the opposition the advantage again.

When is Connor McKenna's contract up in Australia? Could some big Tyrone based company bring him back home? Look what JP McManus is doing with Limerick hurlers. It would be nice if Tyrone could bring him back.

No lack of money in Tyrone i presume!! Club Tyrone trawled England and USA about 6 months ago and came home with bags of it...

Omagh Gael, watched it again. First high ball, penalty. Second, Richie donnelly catches and recycles too Lee Brennan wide. 3rd high ball breaks and Peter harte fouled, point. So should have been 1-2 from 3 high balls. Not a bad return.also think it was hampsey scored the accidental point not Mattie Donnelly.

Did the Tyrone players really believe they could beat Dublin yesterday? I honestly think they didn't. When Dublin scored the penalty which was only to level the game you could see Tyrones head drop. Surely if the had of had belief they would have seen it for what it should have been, a score to level the game' composed themselves and went at again for next 15 or so mins the way they want at for the first 20. Instead it appeared as they said 'f*@k this, we gave them everything for 20mins and we are still level, we are not going to beat them'.

Quite possibly but its a fine line. Something I have been concerned about this Tyrone team is leadership.... When something like that happens especially against Dublin who just start riding the crest of a wave after a goal we need to reply immediately... when we score a goal we need to add the next point immediately. Dooher used to be a great man for recognising that and would often provide that moment of leadership that would lift the rest of the team. Its critical

Some really innovative thinking going on here. Try and score points... This man must have managerial experience

What exactly were you told? What constitutes "bags"? It is no secret but these stories seem to snowball.

On a side note, has the partying finished after we wo...I mean lost the biggest game of the year? Would hate to see the bar tabs if we ever win again.

I can only imagine what we'd have seen if they had Snapchat and Instagram in 1995, or 86 for that matter

Apparently Harte gets a right slating in Seán Cavanagh's book.

Sure he has to make people want to buy it so it has to have some controversy about his Manager.

Thebigdog · September 07, 2018, 01:27:52 PM

A collective sigh of relief could be heard around counties Antrim and Sligo as Tyrone manager Mickey Harte tells media he only likes to work with quality players! Oh dear.

No wind-up. I'm all for going together to somewhere quiet and drowning your sorrows. But a bus to Belfast after basically being beat after 1 half in an All-Ireland is somewhat ridiculous. Harks back to thousands greeting the Irish team after losing to Spain in 2002.
