Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[Christmas Lights]

I'd like to hear the thoughts of southtyronegael.

The only guarantee I can see now is that Tyrone can't be in a group with mayo or galway/roscommon as both are 3rd seeds.  Ideal scenario now would be whoever is the runner up in connacht group plus a division 2 team as 4th seeds.  Worst scenario would be dubs and maybe the likes of armagh as 4th seeds

Tyrone  came out in the second  half as if the game was over. Very slack. Mc Geary looks done mickey  o Neill is not a chf. Oguz and mc gleenan should  have replaced  those 2 much earlier. Mattie should  have been  kept on. Entertaining  game though and we had it won only for the late goal. Nothing has changed  as far as our goal for the year so we must knuckle  down and get ready for the last  16.

They expected something to happen rather than making it happen.  McGearys confidence looks shot.  Remember the guy who was drilling over shots at croke Park.  He had a few opportunities today but turned them down.  It would be unfair to make him a scapegoat for today though.  It seemed like a collective failure not being able to tag on an odd score here and there at the start of the second half.  With a 5 point lead that's all that was needed.  Only started to play when monaghan got close and then really had to up things when the goal went in.

The named half forward line of Frank Burns, Michael O'Neill and Kieran McGeary were awful, they really struggled. Burns didn't even offer his usual assurance and steady influence in the sweeper role. Oguz has to come in ahead of O'Neill or McGeary. Peter Harte also anonymous again when the game was in the melting pot. The Mattie and McKernan substitutions didn't make any sense.
In saying that Canavan was superb, Kennedy excellent, McCurry and Kilpatrick good - referee very sore on Tyrone especially in the first half to keep Monaghan in it.
Looking down the line Tyrone need to get more scores into the team if they are to make any impact on this years championship - in my opinion that has to involve 2/3 of Ruairi Canavan, Sludden and Oguz in the starting team.

2 minds on oguz.  Kicked the ball away badly today after Tyrone had worked so hard to get it back.  Brain farts like that are real momentum shifts.  Agreed about kennedy though, thought he had a good game again today.  I'm not sure we can put another wee man in the forward line without a big physical presence in there like mcshane but his form must be poor

[southtyronegael]

I'd have mc gleenan  in ahead of mc Shane.

What happened with the McCurry shot at the start of the second half that was given wide? They showed the replay a while after and maybe looked like a point but BBC commentators didn't mention it.

Scored 1-17 today. Kind of get what you are saying but sludden and oquz aren't scoring forwards. Surely it's the defense is the problem.

What you think about the performance of your own county ? They gave Derry a fair game imo

[Scoring Zone]

if you score more than 1-15 in most games you should win, particularly at home, the forwards did their job, half back and full backs not at it today. I would have been v scathing of the effort over the league, but i have abit more hope after that today - as i think it was nothing other than v poor game management and i think a small eye on derry. that said M O'N had the summer of his life in '21, he his lost at this level and mcgeary burns and harte need a massive toe in the hole as what they are churning out atm is shite - oguz after his league had to start and not leaving donnelly inside exposed him, still expect AI semi or AI final appearance through the back door

Morgan getting beat for that last goal was scandalous. Jumped up, feet out straight, landed on his arse. Terrible goalkeeping.

Morgan, McGeary, Burns and O'Neill to a lesser extent had poor games.
Kennedy, Kilpatrick, McCurry and Canavan were very good.

Looked over from where I was but the brother was behind the goals and he said it and another Monaghan point that was given weren't.

Not sure he should be contesting kickouts either

Lets hope over the next few weeks in Garvaghy a few players push on and try stake a claim in the starting 15 (or is that the best we have that we seen on Sunday?) Management seem to be persisting with players they trust but a few of them haven't played well since 2021 AI final
