Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[God14]

Conor O'Neill and Ruairi McCullagh with the U20's
I liked how O'Rourke managed McElholm last year. Integrated him into the senior squad November to February, then released him full time to the U20s for the duration of their campaign. And brought him back in again after they won in May. Good template that for those two lads for the year ahead.

Conor Meyler hung up the boots. Super player, probably should have been player of the year in 2021
Retires with Sigerson Cup success at College, Oneill Cup success with his club and an All Ireland Title with his County

Opportunities opening up for some new talent to emerge on the panel...

Suprised by this. Thought after all the hard work he put in to recover from his injury that he would be back next year.

Top athlete and definitely should have been player of the year in 2021.

[DaleCooper]

Not surprising, he had a very complex injury plus priors. Add to that the load of county football and standards he maintains, would lead to a breakdown at some point.

Whats the legal case all about?

[Scoring Zone]

IMO MOR give him the 'opportunity' to retire rather than drop/cut him ( of which he was one of a group of older lads whose time had come). 21 was one thing but the thing I admire about him is that he never dropped his standards the the few v poor years after AI and was really consistent - but with the type of injury he picked up and at the age he was always on the way down.

BUT with praise and admiration there has to come criticism recently with his woke exploits on everything under the sun regarding his doctorate and gpa bullshit etc. it became more of Conor using Tyrone and Tyrone getting nothing in return so, I will expect a deluge of interviews and podcasts where he will plug his nose tape and his thoughtful empathic opinions for anything that's topical

Retweet!

[Hand of God]

Fantastic player for us. Really came into his in the Dooher Logan years. As has been said would definitely been my FOTY in 2021. Improved his game and footballing ability year on year but sadly injuries caught up with him in his prime years.

Now is the time for another to seize their chance.

[bogball88]

Could he not give Omagh a year or 2? Even their stiffs or thirds? Perhaps that wouldn't suit him

[SoloAndGo]

Lads, any Tyrone managers looking posts for next year?

[Hand of God]

Still all very quiet on new call ups. McCullagh and Joey Clarke so far the only new call ups that have publicly been reported.

McGeary not back until at earliest the end of the league. Meyler and Bradley gone. Futures of Harte, Donnelly, Burns, Brennan, Morgan, McCurry, Hampsey,Michael O'Neill probably all not certain with their age profile.

You'd be expecting there should be 10 plus new faces that weren't on the panel last season for the McKenna Cup. Hopefully guys like Rafferty, McHugh, O'Hare, McGarrity etc see plenty of minutes during the league to bring them on as serious options this year.

[Onthe40]

dont expect hampsey, donnelly, brennan, mccurry, morgan to go anywhere
harte maybe pondering, had a quiet 2025 tbh
burns showd in club championship the quality he has, might get another year from him

was impressed with miller omagh, muldoon eglish, quinn dungannon, to nam ebut a few

Clonoe surprisingly dont really have anyone putting the hand up that i saw, for a team that completely dominated intermediate

I've been impressed with Shea Coney from clonoe. Believe he was in the development team last year

A very athletic player with great physical attributes but I am not convinced by his skillset. I wonder if he could be manufactured into a tough man marker?

[Hand of God]

We seem to have an abundance of scoring forwards in the county. We currently have McCurry and the Canavans who we know can be heavy scorers with the right service.

Outside of last year's panel you have the likes of Donaghy, Jordan, Conroy, Dillon, Fullerton etc who are hitting serious scores on the club scene.

Hard to see how all of those can be accommodated and kept happy while keeping the right balance in the team. Half forward line being really lacking in recent years. We've struggled to find a balance between industry, playmaking and scores. I think it kind of shows how important Niall Sludden was when on his game.

I'd like to see McElholm at 11 this year. Daly and SOD really need to kick on a few gears this year and find that consistency.

I saw Oisin Miller mentioned earlier and think he's a good shout. He's a different type of forward to what we have - pacey, direct and he's a bit of height too.
