McKenna Cup 2024

[Lamh Dhearg Alba]

We know from last season that the current Tyrone management like a good hammering from one of the traditional powers of the game to kick start their season so tonight was ideal  .

Hard perhaps for so many young players to come into the team at the same time and would be easier if there had been a few more experienced heads around them, but ultimately none of them took their chance tonight. I'd expect a very different side at the weekend.

Absolute mismatch but Cavan were good and still chasing and pressing the Tyrone men deep into injury time.

[Captain Obvious]

Cavan for Sam.

[Westside]

Cavan had a Championship strength team out, fired up and with a decent bit of training done already. Tyrone just home from holidays, no work done and a shell of a team out. Happy with the win but Cavan will get far tougher tests in Division 4.

Westside, you are mad to convince yourself there are brilliant teams in Div 4!

[rodney trotter]

Division 4 teams won't be coming back from a piss up in America.  They obviously won't be brilliant but will play with a lot more hunger then tonight.

Leitrim in Carrick will be up for Cavan

In fairness we will undoubtedly get tougher games than what Tyrone provided tonight. Which isn't a high bar.

And yes I may lowering my own expectations after the shit show of 2021.

Still an impressive win by a Division 4 side over the All Ireland Champions. Tyrone had McGeary, Hampsey, Harte, McCurry and Meyler playing and a few other starters.

[tyroneStatto]

Some win for Cavan. Was Larry Reilly playing?

Didn't realise they'd so many of the All-Ireland team playing, Christ.

[PMG1]

12 of the 15 Tyrone starters were on the All Ireland panel last year, with Meyler, Kilpatrick and McKernan coming on also

He started but took off after 2 mins when he had us 8 nil up

[nrico2006]

Tyrone only started with 4 from the All Ireland final, says it all.  Its the McKenna Cup and maybe the new management don't have the same feelings towards it as Harte did.

Only home from Florida ffs. The same huers conceded 6 goals to Kerry in the league not that long before knocking them out of the championship.

If Cavan won the All Ireland and lost their next game by 15 points to a Div 4 team people would be calling it a "fluke" all ireland.

Especially if it was 'only' Mayo they beat.
