Tyrone County Football and Hurling

[NotedObserver]

McGeary travelling
Canavan supposed to be in Oz for 6 weeks only for Trump.
Brennan leaving panel.
Morgan missing game for a club mates wedding.
2 wins in Div 2

A rough start to they year for Tyrone.
I said it a few weeks ago and I stand over it, this isn't a good Tyrone team at all. A lot of players either over their peak or still a few years too early/not ready.

It goes beyond this. Players have heartly making a tackle or tracking back, no real desire or hungry to win. It looks as though from that there is something not right within the camp

The vibes are certainly off. Who knows who will play v cork

Now new rules are well bedded in and tactics to use them clear small busy forwards and tough corner backs count less. Power and 2pt shooting essential and Tyrone as ever are overall too small and now badly conditioned lacking the strength and shooting power required or awareness of 2point shooting to either mark/track the shooters or set up the chances to shoot. Against Meath Raffery,tiny, left on Meath's key half forward 2pointer 4x2 8points gone before anything done. That is why l found it strange the management could not use Jordan and McKernan better and persist with small runners when power is clearly required. Still but for a lazy breech Tyrone could have been level with 5 to go. Very dull and sloppy as other posters say no heart (Harte?) in current team. After 23 years of heavy duty tactics its whatever yer having yerself a la 1980s. Change required if success and good use of young talent is to be got.

Was Michael Rafferty even on O'Connor? He looked to be elsewhere with Tyrone doubling up on other key 2 point kickers. Donnelly, O'Donnell, Daly and Kennedy closest to him for the kicks.
It felt that we had 5 corner backs playing in our 6 defenders with only Teague of the size required. Joey Clarke does look good though

Jordan showed how simple new rules have made the game.

Get your best kickers in between the arc and 65, let them have the ball and strike. Large part of Meaths success.

He is our top scorer in the league - having only started two games. That says it all!

What's the deal? Score 1-9 in the first game then get dropped. He was on the bench/limited sub for the other games so I don't believe he was injured.

If he's scoring like he is I honestly don't think there should be a reason to drop him barring injury concerns

What's Parkinson on about on Twitter? Saying he's heard there's trouble in the camp.

Doubt he will bring out anything new. Wil discuss on next podcast

I would actually hope there is trouble. Would at least explain the crap performances and lack of intensity. What ever the issue orourke is getting paid to sort it out so its about time he started to earn his money

[marty34]

Somebody must have spoken to Parkinson 'off the record'.

Whatever their motive is/was.

Is Malachy too nice?

1. McGeary skipping preseason then welcoming him back.

2. Darragh leaving for a month mid-season for a holiday (now delayed).

3. Sitting near the bottom of D2, threatened with Tailteann Cup.

4. Seemingly no tactics or attacking plan.

5. Relying on an S&c coach that lives on the other side of the world.

6. Players skipping games to attend weddings and events.

7. Naming teams then reliably making 3/4 changes before throw-in each week.

8. No concrete starting 15 inc playing people totally out of position.

9. Supporter base at games plummeting.

10. No one taking responsibility for the issues - on field or off field. No leaders and no honesty to the supporters.

No wonder there's trouble...

Experience players leaving, no details on injured players (Oguz walking around with knee brace on, Hampsey, Aidan donaghy)

Not sure not disclosing players injury status should be used as a stick to beat the Manager with.

Morgan has given great service to Tyrone, unsure what the circumstances around the wedding are but these are generally occasions that players sacrifice not sure it would have been accepted in the Harte era. 

In relation to the support Tyrone have been poorly supported since 2021 so don't think that is neccesarily a MOR problem, granted if they were winning games there would possibly be a better turn out. 

Not sure what you mean "honesty to the supporters" most serious intercounty outfits will be a closed book in relation to getting information and that's the way it should be.   

[Sean Og Patriots]

McKernain should be playing every game unless he's dealing with a Schmidt Sting Pain Index level of 4. Even then, he's the type of person who would play through it.

Heard a few men from Meath beside me say "ah here comes trouble now" as he entered the pitch.

Could we see Morgan outfield against Cork?

Is Pascal McConnell coming back?

Did i just read someone say "honesty to the supporters" ....

[Truthsayer]

Is Joker video in response to suggestion of playing Morgan outfield? Were you at the Edendork - Carrickmore championship game last year?.. and that's club level 🤷

[NotedObserver]

Anyone hear Morgan gone?
