Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[tyroneman]

4 of those teams are better than Tyrone.

Galway unknown.

Needed to win today. Didn't happen. Toothless in the forward line.

As soon as I saw the forward line picked today, I could tell you the result.

McCurry, Bradley, O'Neill all nice footballers but at this level and in the modern game, you can't play the three of them together - particularly this time of year in a provincial ground against a dogged and hardened Monaghan side.

I know we're down a few important players at present but if McShane isn't around this year then we are goosed, he is our attacking game plan and if he's available then he can bring out so much more from the rest around him.

It's a bit stale there, Ronan O'Neill sadly just won't make it - he played well in the McKenna Cup but today was the acid test and he failed to deliver. Surely McHugh and Kerr are worth a look at now. McHugh is a big lad, he's a natural forward and he knows where the posts are - he has to be worth a look inside in light of current problems?

It's extremely difficult to see where the points are going to come from to stay up now.

We need a ball or two inside and we need finishers playing off them, we seem reluctant to do this.

What do you all think of Mulgrew??

What do you all think of Mulgrew??

Injury prone.

Looked the part at underage but hasn't had a proper run at senior yet, we have a lot of players like Mulgrew.

What we need is some quality ball winning inside forwards, we don't have them.

You are finding an excuse already that Mc Shane is unavailable. We got to an All Ireland final in 2018 without Mc Shane at full forward

Top scorer in the Championship last year, all star last year.

We wouldn't have got near an All Ireland semi final last year without McShane.

We got to an All Ireland final in 2018 with guys like Sludden, Hampsey, Colm Cavanagh, Mattie Donnelly and Peter Harte in great form. A lot of those guys were badly out of form last year and it was McShane who stepped up to the fill the void.

Our whole attacking gameplan was solely based around McShane last year, only a guy with zero knowledge about gaelic football would deny that the magnitude of his loss to Tyrone

Very aggressive post.
Doesn't take away from the fact that Tyrone have players who if properly motivated are good enough to get to an All Ireland semi final with or without any 1 footballer.
Provided they haven't gone stale obviously

Nothing aggressive about it, it's to the point.

McShane was Tyrone's best footballer last year by some distance. They developed a game around him and it was successful in improving Tyrone's attack.

Kerry, Galway, Donegal to name a few are much better now than they would have been two years ago. With McShane gone and the loss of form, injury troubles and ageing of some of Tyrone's key players (Sludden, Harte, McCann, Hampsey, Donnelly and Cavanagh) I think it is safe to say Tyrone are a fair bit weaker.

There's a long way to go yet but I've a very ominous feeling for the year ahead and I think it will be hard to see Harte staying on if it pans out as I'd expect it to now.

I'd say Peter Donnelly and John devine are feeling quite pleased with themselves tonight.

I doubt it, as they are idiots like you who would take join in their county getting beat.

We are in serious bother, have really went back as far as I can see. Short year ahead

[bigpackiechestout]

Is there any word of what Richard Donnelly and Hampsey's situation is? We could do with both of them back asap.

What do you all think of Mulgrew??

Not at the required standard unfortunately.

Decent Club footballer. But not up to County level.

Ben Mc Donnell the same.

But they always seem to feature for some reason. Strange

Mulgrew falls into the growing category of someone who's been knocking around the Tyrone panel for 3 or 4 years now and doesn't seem to have improved any. Obviously injury hasn't helped in his case but what is he supposed to be? He's been tried out in the full forward line in a few games without ever giving the impression he can win his own ball and beat his man. And he doesn't seem to have the legs to be a wing forward working up and down.

On Ben, this is now his third year on the panel and I actually think he's an example of someone who has improved. He's carved out a niche for himself within the panel as a spoiler around the middle third, and he tends to keep it simple giving the impression he knows his limitations. He's never going to be a superstar but he's a solid squad player.

Where is Brian Kennedy at the minute? I was hoping this would be a big year for him where he would establish himself as our first choice midfielder ahead of Colm Cavanagh. Last year was his break out year at the age of 21 and he got plenty of game time and showed promise. We should be looking for him to kick on this season

What's with all the negativity redhandefender? Only a few year's ago you had nothing but good to say about tyrone setup. Took you a while to cop on.

A few years ago we got to an all ireland final, players from under 21 winning team were still early in development. I was against your constant yapping about harte. Some things have happened since then I have learnt about that unlike you i wouldn be plastering up here.
