i woulnt fancy betting against a carmen team who look re invigorated for their break. It should be a great champsionship next year, but theres always been a few good championships. As for the league this year, Carmen or Errigal can have it.

Are Donaghmore not still in the top 4 RRHF ?? If not, can they still get into it ?

rrhf · September 28, 2007, 02:01:43 PM

They are 5th to the best of my knowledge. To be honest i havent seen the team play in the league now for a couple of months so I couldnt tell how well they are playing but they are keeping in touch.

who exactly is in MH's entourage (his back room team)??

rrhf · September 28, 2007, 02:29:03 PM

may I just add my voice to the chorus welcoming Brian Mc Guigan back as he commences his training. Keep er lit Brian and i cant wait to roar you back on to the field in the coming months.

I'll drink to that RRFH !

You're dreaming - can't see this line up happening - it would be nice to see it all the same.

Tyrone Dreamer · September 29, 2007, 11:04:26 AM

I think next year is going to be a huge season for Tyrone. Players like Mulgrew, McGuigan Jnr, McMahon Jnr and Cavanagh Jnr now have a bit of experience behind them at the level and if theyre going to turn their potential into performances the time has to be now. 2 or 3 of the younger guys really have to push on and become key players in the team next season if we're going to do anything. Would also like to think that someone like McGinn could come in with the suprise element and cause opposition defenders headaches. We cant solely rely on the 03/05 players to be the key players anymore especially with the injury luck we have had.

Mickey may decide in 08 that he might have been too loyal to his stalwarts and will move on and put his faith in the new kids ??

like the look of that team to be honest dreamer.probly too early for it to be competitive in championship football but the mckeena cup is where u learn ur trade. However, seriously close to become an optimist so instead il go ultra critical, dont think marlow will ever make a county corner back, good player, dunno where u wud play him tho. sweeney is a good panal player but not the answer to tryones problems. aidy mc carron isnt good enough for chamionship and never will be. i will go out on a limb here and say plunket kane is the best player in that half forward line, strong fast and a goal scorer,philly is lazy and not strong enough and tommy is better in the inside forward line. still offers alot of hope though and theres even better players coming up aswell!!!!

That's an interesting selection alright and one I would like to see in action in at least one of the Dr McKenna Cup games. However, I would try to find room for Cookstown's Marty Murray in that half back line. He has been a model of consistency for his club this past few seasons. Guys like Sweeney and Jarlath Quinn probably deserve another chance to see if they can cut it at this level. Coalisland's Niall Kerr was a very promising county underage player....he is another who I would like to see in McKenna Cup action.

I think we might need to look for a bit a height as well to fill some of these Positions,
don't think 5-9 or 5-10 is going to cut it for where i believe football is headed,
we've struggled at times against the bigger stronger teams.
Hunger though could well be the problem alright, that's why you have to tip your hat
to the Kingdom, them boys keep coming back year in year out.
Someone mentioned the training regime, maybe, but there are a few of
the stalwarts that might need to take a year out and take a look at themselves imo.
