Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[RedHand88]

What was with the short kickouts? All week we talked about how our midfield was better. Obviously management disagree. The one time we went long in the first half the ball was flicked on to McGeary who albeit fluffed it but it was into  a dangerous position right from the kickout.

Is the fitness up to scratch?
Our attacking play has been abysmal for 2 years
Mcgeary has returned to the team much too late in the year and miles off pace.
Meyler needs to learn how to shoot if he is continue on this side.
Michael O'Neill is not the answer. Sludden, t mccann, r Brennan must be shaking their heads
D canavan has made our season watchable

I can't for the life of me see what the management see in O'Neill. Another Aidan McCrory.

What was the plan? It seemed to be to close the space in defence and avoid being caught on the counter by attacking slowly. But, why have three small inside men with these tactics? There seemed to be no attacking plan.

Three weeks on the trot and having only a few days to prepare wasn't to their advantage, but the lack of fight and how easy Kerry were able to push on was not good.

Rewatched the 2019 and 2021 semis before this and it would be great if we could get a fully fit and on form McShane inside as he was such a weapon in 2019 and looked sharp today.

Some of the older heads might still have something to offer. Harte though looks to have lost his pace. It would be a shame to see Morgan, Donnelly and Harte to end on such a note, they have given so much over the years and soldiered through many frustrating campaigns.

And dare I say it, should Tyrone consider getting Tally back involved in the set up somewhere?

Yeah that was the puzzling thing. I thought first few kickouts we were sure to try that out.

We have a real lack of pace and unfortunately that was laid bare today. O'Sullivan ran the legs of Donnelly up and down the pitch. I think that'll be the end of the road for him.

Only bonus was McShane coming on kicking 2 beauties.

Genuinely thought we were playing safe first half, trying to contain Kerry against the wind in order to let rip in second half.

How wrong I was.

Zero plan in attack. Leaving the big square empty most of the time and no-one breaking lines into it or making runs through it. High ball into small men. Aimless shots.

Agree with other posters that conditioning looked way off the opposition.

That second half was possibly one of the worst Tyrone championship performances in 20 odd years.

At least mccrory could tackle.

At 6-6 we were right in the game even 9-6 at HT wasn't the worst. Similar to above i expected the kitchen sink to be thrown at Kerry in the 2nd half and instead we didn't even go out with a whimper. We were lucky Kerry didn't hit the net another 3 or 4 times.

Is oneill even good for Ardboe? I didn't stay to the end did he finish the game. Taking r can off before this man..... Time for Doogan to go.... pitch a tent outside MOR house

Then the Pomeroy lads started thinking they where playing American football at one stage in the second half. Throwing arms in the air to call a play and forgetting to take the ball with them. FML watching that.

R Canavan came out in the 2nd with tape around his knee so had to be an injury or else it was complete madness to take him off.

Bad call not to change the kickouts.

Kerry purposely allowed the short kick out, knowing it bypassed one of our strengths in recent weeks, the midfield, then they funneled back and completely cut off the D. To keep falling into their trap for 70 mins was mind-boggling.

If Tyrone did threaten to break through, Kerry fouled. Far enough out not to do too much damage, but the 2 McCurry dropped short were crucial.

Masterclass by Tally and Jack but we didn't make them think twice.

You know what, we could do worse than seeing if Mickey will tear up the Louth contract. There's the potential to have a real bright future, and Harte could be the perfect man. Tyrone were absolutely pathetic in that second half. And Christ knows what guidance was coming from the side.

Mickey is a legend. He owes Tyrone nothing, but it's a hard no from me.

I thought  I felt bad about  today's result.  Then I see  posters looking for harte back.lol. talk about the depths of despair.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

There he is 😂😂

Paddy Tally?

Malachy O'Rourke not considered to be enough of a Tyrone man?
