How good is Donaghy to us if he doesn't want to play. Fair play to thr young fellas putting themselves forward

Most Tyrone people expected this outcome after a horrible league. Bit of a shame theres no Donegal semi final of Ulster as there is little hope of Sam.

You never can rule it out of course. Kennedy and Canavan were just massive losses.

I like Bogue hes tricksy , would have him in before McCurry atm

I think McElholm sarted to show his form a bit yesterday despite a couple of bad decisions (esp. goal shot ET). I would have had him on from start (instead of McCurry great servant but losing pace and not taking shots on he'd have got a wee while ago) RC injured? DC needs more strength himself and around him from half forward. Should have brought Jorda back for ET. Mattie not starting bizarre and those 3 young fella in ET added nothing perhap Conor O'Neill will be availble in 6 weeks he seems promising. Very difficult cross breeze in 1st half but Jordan and others could have pressed on a couple of times for single point to settle team. (Think they need more 2pointers but don't get obcessed with them!). Overall promising but pity about Morgan's flaky 45. Cannot understand how all expects keeper ping 50m kickout but can't score straight on 45s. Joey Clarke excellent but small again and subs weak overall. Again strength and conditioning not there tho McKernan in good shape. The 2 big men problem remains. Need white dust and growth hormone fast🤔!

Conn puts on a masterclass and the other started well and couldn't continue, spoilt some of you Tyrone boys

Yes put in a newly qualified senior footballer in Jordan who unfortunately had an off day.

Stephen O'Neill spent a long time as a servant to tyrone football unable to win very much with his junior team..

Not really spoilt. Conn has been nowhere near that level for 5 years. He has been average since our All Ireland win in 2021 with Kennedy more or less soldiering in the middle by himself in that time. Conn was outstanding yesterday so lets hope he can back that up in 6 weeks time. We have no big lumps coming through from those u20s teams so Conn and Kennedy will have to keep going a while yet.

This is wrong, as far as I remember Clann na nGael played most of that time in Div 1a and 1b.

They went from div 3 to div 1 very quickly but yoyo'd between the top divs for a while. Dont think they ever challenged for a senior championship

What happened Kennedy?

He went for and won a ball on half way right on the sidelines about 15 mins in and got absolutely clattered by two Armagh men. Nothing dirty but it was a big collision. He was getting treatment off the field and obviously didn't recover from it.

Thought the defence did well to limit Conaty, McConville, Duffy, McMullan to 2 points the whole game. Going into it you would say those were the danger men for Armagh

Duffy to a lesser extent he's a more workman like player these days.

Armagh went without Murnan and Mc Cambridge (Former Player of the Year) - I feel for them to challenge for Sam the need Rian back. He is made for the game now with the 2 pointers.

cjx · April 14, 2026, 07:38:18 PM

How is it like against Kildare Tyrone could not use an extra man effectively? Clearly it should be an even bigger advantage with 4 3 up rules. Is it just no plans or no confidence or what? Kick out strategy (lack of strategy?) seems a similar problem.

What do they do up above Canavan's place of an evening apart from run around and lift weights?

God thats all we hear from Armagh. Wait til we get our All Ireland team back, blah, blah, blah. Don't think it happens like that
