Tyrone v Kerry The Easter Relegator, how the mighty have fallen..

[ONeill]

Mickey has a knack of reacting well to bad days.

When were Kerry last not in the top division?

2002, also Gooch's senior debut.

Am I right in saying if Tyrone win by 2 points or more means Kerry are relegated? What if it is a 1 point victory for Tyrone and point difference is level between the 2?

Barring an outlandish result in the Mayo v Donegal game, yes, 2 point Tyrone win relegates Kerry.

Have I missed something or why are so many of ye saying MAYBE this is Mickey's last year?
I thought his term is up this year and I can't see him being offered a new contract.
I'm not being harsh or disrespectful but is that not the current view or are we not allowed to actually say it?

I have not seen/read any of the game yesterday but I have been impressed how well Mickey has them playing against Dublin and Cork. I think we've been the third best team in Ulster for a few years now and I really can't see that changing this year. I do however expect a good run in the qualifiers and if we fan avoid Cork/Kerry then a quarterfinal place.
Sadly I think Kerry will beat us in this game unless we really raise our game

Kerry's points difference is 3 better than Tyrone's hence 1 pt Tyrone win keeps Kerry ahead, 2 pt win puts Tyrone ahead.

If Donegal and Mayo draw, 1 pt win will be enough for Tyrone to stay up

Offered a new contract? Ye have contracts?

I think this is Mickey's last year with Tyrone. Be funny if he went and took over Derry or something and led them to a title.

[50fiftyball]

I hope Mickey can get the boys together to muster up every ounce of football/energy the have in them to give it a good rattle.

Going to be a tasty clash, Kerry undoubtedly the better footballing team, although we've never seen Tyrone try to play good football in this campaign yet.

I really do fear the Donaghy tactic against our defence though, feel Ronan McNamee would struggle against the long ball in from Moran and the likes.

Maybe they will offer him a new contract.
Maybe he will have a good year
Maybe there will be not better applicants when the time comes.

So in effect you are saying you think that youse will sack Harte at the end of the season? A triple All Ireland winning manager. That would indicate that youse believe that Tyrone are underachieving. How about the fact that the players simply are not there any more.

[illdecide]

Yellowcard I've been saying that for a while now (not winding up this time), If Tyrone supporters think by sacking Micky and bring in another manager will turn things around for them then they're crazy...Tyrone were a great team and won 3 All Irelands with a top manager but the quality of player is just not there compared to the players you have had. You'll just have to re-build like the rest of us...deal with it.

Sacking Micky will actually weaken you further (my opinion)

100% agree, that would be madness!

Sadly I think Tyrone will keep him.

Surely there comes a time when the need to freshen things up though?

[rrhf]

If Tyrone manage to stay up it will be a very decent spring. If they manage to bate done gal in may. The managerial debate should be filed under not for the foreseeable. 

[Fuzzman]

Well said rrhf. I shouldn't have brought it up on this thread.
His current term ends this year though so it's hardly sacking.

Yeah Donaghy would love to send us down I think.
Justy would probably pick him up.
