Tyrone County Football and Hurling

Who the f**k cares about McCrory v McKernan v McNulty. Just stop fecking quoting each other!!

[skeog]

Mickey is praising the sky coverage miles ahead of RTE and sure if you cannot afford it wait for the highlights.

[ONeill]

Just don't kick the ball on top of Moran. Kerry will try to force that.

Agreed, it's not good for the vertigo.

Expect Tyrone to be very competitive this weekend. Stating the obvious but we need to converting the majority of our chances, including any half goal chances. in the AIF last year our conversation rate was very poor, even in the last 10 minutes when we were coming back at Dublin we were snatching at chances.

Sean O Se is still a cub but he can be so good with his frees and we don't have that sort of free taker from distance. Harte and McShane have improved our ratio of frees converted from inside 40 yards but I'd say our frees from 40 yards out isn't as good as Dublin or Kerry. Couple of missed frees can be the difference. 

Brian Kennedy, if he starts, needs to learn to break ball or at least be a spoiler. Yes he is young but if his only job this weekend is to stop Kerry winning clean ball on their kick out then he'll have done a good job. Morgan won't lump it out though, like Mayo did in the match in Killarney. Tyrone are ahead of Kerry in terms of kick out strategy, we'll get possession there. I don't think we can live of scraps, possession wise and score more than Kerry but I think we are smart enough and more experienced than Kerry to hold our own there.

I can't see us starting like we did against Cork in the first half, we were so slow in that half, but will we push 2-3 men up front? Maybe tight in the first half and see how the game develops.

Deegan worries me more than Clifford to be honest. That f**ker reffing is 5 points worth to kerry.

[GaaFanatic123]

Any calls for this weekend?

I expect McNamee to pick up Geaney, I've a feeling if Hampsey is fit enough maybe Harte will let the Fianna man try and rattle Clifford?

For me though its crucial that we stop David Moran dominating around the middle, Colm will probably be tasked with that job,

Also I expect Tommy Walsh to come on with 15/20 to go no matter what the score is, another problem to deal with, going to be a game won on the line I think and I'm looking forward to heading down the road to see it!

[sam03/05]

The match up will be
McNamee on Clifford
O'Brien - R Brennan
HP McGeary on Geaney

Hopefully Cavanagh will mark Moran but I fear it will be Kennedy who shouldn't be anywhere near it.
Don't think Hampsey will play - clearly injured and was hobbling about withan ice pack when taken off last week. Will prob be a sub with 20 to go.

[Dire Ear]

Kerry will be good at buying frees that's for sure

I can see Meyler picking up O'Brien. Has the legs to match him. And probably Brennan on Geaney.

At least Kennedy will have a bit of mobility about him. Cavanagh will be swallowed whole if he tries to go out into the middle and compete as a traditional midfielder - he doesn't have the legs anymore. Cavanagh will do his usual role I'm afraid.

[Goals_Will_Come]

If Hampsey isn't fit and isn't playing I can see Tyrone struggling. Don't think Tyrone have the defenders to stop Kerry's firepower, even if they set up the blanket defence, Kerry just have too many good attacking options

Who do we put onto Sean O'Shea? Tom OSullivan is another who needs close attention.

[Taylor]

The Kerry forward line is much better than ours as is their options up front on their bench.

Saying that our defence is infinitely better as is our defensive system.

The big question is can we transition quickly enough to give our men up top the support. The worst thing that can happen is we pay so much attention to stopping them we arent as effective going forward.

You can run up a big score against them but we need to find the balance in keeping it tight at the back.

[redhandofgod]

Kieran McGeary on Sean o'Shea, do a similar job on him that he did on Shane Walsh of Galway in the 2nd half of league game.

In my opinion our best option for Clifford would be Aidan McCrory as he will never worry about attacking and will focus solely on there main threat. Stop him we stop them
