Are Tyrone Finished

[smort]

Malachy O'Rourke lives in Clogher, or he did a couple of years ago anyway. We were up selling tickets and he answered the door to us, bought a book and seemed like a very decent fella.

Why would O'Rouke currently leave Monaghan to go to Tyrone, backward step?

Monaghan are not going to be around for much longer with Finlay/Clerkin/Lennon/Gollogly/Mone/Corey all heading in the wrong direction in terms of age... also O'Rourke is a Tyrone man!

Monaghan have a strong underage, winning last years minor tiltle and being in the final the year before, so they have as good of players coming through as Tyrone. Also O Rourke is a Fermanagh man

By winning one ulster minor and appearing in a final does not make the pedigree of player as good as what is coming through in Tyrone.  Tyrone are regularly winning Ulster minor titles and appearing in finals.  Until Monaghan sustain this effort there is no real comparison.

He was there for a while alright while his house in Ballygawley was getting done up after flood damage.

Water damage to a house is a complete nightmare.  Any word how much it cost to fix it or did he go through insurance?  Would assume his house insurance would have covered that?

Funny how a thread about whether Tyrone are finished gets side tracked onto whether or not the flood in Malacy O'Rourke's house was covered by house insurance or not!

O'Rourke is a top class manager and his record probably makes him a potential candidate for any job that comes up in Ulster. With many Monaghan players in the twilight of their careers he may have got as much out of them as possible and he could well leave the job at the end of this season.

So did the insurance cover it or what?

Tony Donnelly and Fergal McCann have left Tyrone management team

Fair play to both these men for playing such large roles in delivering the greatest period of success in our football history. It's a pity these guys are bowing out after such a disappointing year, however,  I'm sure they'll have bucket loads of memories to take with them.

I await with interest to see who'll fill the gaps, judging by another internal post within the county (see Tyrone club thread) it doesn't appear that we'll have any major players throwing their hat in the ring.

Tyrone are like the Roman Empire in 420, it's all over, although some people think that such greatness will surely return and try to keep things going.

Mickey Harte is like Charlie Haughey sack everyone else but protect himself at all costs.

When Malachy O'Rourke's house was flooded had he no blanket (or sandbag even) defence? Did he go out through the back door?

Was that the same time all those sheep got drown?

FFS does anyone know if O'Rourke's insurance covered it or not?

[T Fearon]

Sure you get an emergency grant of £1000 from Stormont if you're flooded out.
